The Royal Park Hotel Hiroshima Riverside

The hotel was a quick and easy 10 minute walk from Hiroshima station. As expected, the room was really small but we only had 2 backpacks with us for our 2 night stay as we shipped our luggage beforehand - I don't think you can comfortably open suitcases within the space. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean - it had everything you needed. Other reviews mention difficulty checking in through the machines but we had no issues and the incredibly kind staff was available to help. We did not have breakfast included as we opted to try the many bakeries nearby, but many guests seem to have been enjoying it as we passed by the hall.

The room had a river view, however it would have been nice to be able to open the window a little as there was a slight musty/smokey smell when you first walked in (turning on the humidifier and AC helped and the smell eventually went away). The room was clean, but the only thing I will note is that the shower curtain was stained/dirty which was a little off-putting. Overall, the hotel is a little dated and I don't think it's worth the cost compared to other hotels we've stayed at with the same price range.

Nice view of river from room, some nice touches in the bigger than usual bathroom, and great location for the station.

Nothing.

What an excellent hotel! The view from the room was amazing, and the location was perfect. The restaurant area was great, with outdoor tables overlooking the river. The breakfast was excellent, and the staff was very attentive and spoke English very well. The room was very spacious, the bathroom was large, and there were lots of welcome amenities. Very, very good!

Nothing, everything was perfect!

Too old and small room
