Green Rich Hotel Hiroshima Shinkansenguchi (Artificial hot spring Futamata Yunohana)

The location cannot be beat at this price point, it's literally right behind the Grand Sheraton, only a block away from the Shinkansen exit for the beautifully renovated Hiroshima station, which has everything you could need and more (and there's a Family Mart right across the street to max out the convenience). In front of that exit are the bus stops for the maple bus and others to take you around the city, and a short walk through the station takes you to the street car terminal at the other end. The rooms were comfortable and decently spacious, with comfortable beds and amenity stations by the elevators included a selection of pillows, pajamas and yukata. The onsen on the first floor was the cherry on top, and I enjoyed using it every night we were there. The sauna was exceptionally hot and I was ready for the cold plunge after 5 minutes when I can easily stay in most saunas for 10-12.

The only thing even close to a complaint is that there's only only one small onsen facility which would probably max out at a dozen guests at a time. As such, they don't have men and women's facilities, but designate women-only from 3-8:30pm and 9pm-2am for men. This isn't the Dormy Inn, but at this price point I didn't expect any onsen, and the facilities were excellent.

Location, amenities

this is a basic accomodation at a very fair price, directly across the street from the rail station, my favorite part was right out my window I could watch the Shinkansen trains come and go, what a delight for a railfan. They provide a decent and substantial breakfast served in a plastic clamshell, they have no eating accomodation, so you either take it with you or up to your room, it's dfferent and appreciated, it's not served till 7am though so you may have to forfeit that if you have an early schedule. Should also mention they have a Onsen which isn't my thing but possibly a big plus for other visitors.

No complaints aside from I would have lked if the take away breakfast was served starting 5am.

Close to rail station.

The key should be upgraded to a card system. Only 1 key per guest. We must insert the key by the door for electric power. Must leave key at front desk when leaving hotel. Only 1 Onsen is not gender equitable-men have longer & better hours.
