ANA Crowne Plaza Hiroshima by IHG

The lobby area with the separate area in the back with a wooden lace-like structure was beautiful (wedding venue). The front desk staff was helpful and the breakfast was delicious. Our room was clean and spacious. In front of the hotel there was an area with boulders and trees that survived WWII, which was oddly a peaceful location to read. Their were restaurants close by the hotel. The memorials and museum were close by.

We reserved a room here at the very last moment (when another accommodation fell through), and I made a mistake and only reserved one night, so then made a separate reservation for three additional nights. When we checked in and explained this to the desk clerk, he was kind and helpful, finding a way to change it so that we would not have to change rooms. He had to put us in a handicapped-accessible room, but that was okay, and the clerk also included breakfasts, which were very good. The location of this hotel is superb -- very close to Peace Park.

The hotel was well positioned for our visit to Hiroshima, we were only planning one day and night in our 2 week visit, and access from the main train station was one bus ride and a short walk away. The nearby area had plenty going on, within 10 minutes walk to the Peace Museum, with plenty of places to eat/drink nearby also. We booked a room with lounge access, but forgot about it in the time between booking and actually visiting, which was an excellent surprise. The view from the lounge was unparalleled and the refreshments were very much appreciated. Breakfast the following morning provided both a more traditional offering as well as the usual western continental style breakfast.

Really great location, walking distance to main “attractions” of Hiroshima. Many great food options in the area and close to Hiroshima station. We really loved the buffet style breakfast every morning. Free entry to the gym was an added bonus that we loved.

The staff went out of their way to help us and were always on hand. The breakfast was exceptional. The location is great and the rooms are very comfortable. Great value for money too.
