Know before you book
- Hiroshima station is where the Shinkansen and the airport limousine bus arrive. Rakuten’s listings put the airport bus at about 50 minutes to the station.
- The Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome are not next to the station. The city’s streetcars (Hiroden) run from the station to Genbaku Dome-mae, so a hotel near a tram stop works almost as well as one by the park.
- For Miyajima, take the JR Sanyo line from Hiroshima station to Miyajimaguchi, then the short ferry across to the island. Staying near the station makes an early start easy, before the day-trip crowds arrive.
- Hatchobori and Kamiyacho are the shopping centre of the city, between the station and the park. Nagarekawa, just east of them, is the main district for eating and drinking at night.
- Okonomiyaki is the dish to try here: the Hiroshima kind is layered and comes with noodles. Okonomimura, a building full of okonomiyaki counters, is in Shintenchi in the city centre.
- Prices here are per person with breakfast, for two sharing. Saturdays at the bigger hotels can cost two or three times a Wednesday.

What we dropped
| Property | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Sheraton Grand Hiroshima Hotel | Runner-up (67/100) | Scored 67 against 70 to 77 for the five. It was held back by value: ¥14,000–28,000 per person on a weeknight, 143% of the median, and up to ¥52,000 on a Saturday. The Granvia South Gate covers the station role for less. |
| RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima | Runner-up (62/100) | Scored 62, the lowest of the seven. Despite the best position for the Peace Park, its room, bath and dinner scores average 4.28 and its overall 4.36 is behind the five, so quality and trust held it back. |
| Hotel Granvia Hiroshima | Outside the theme | Connected to the north (Shinkansen) exit of Hiroshima station and rated 4.50 across 6,358 reviews, but its cheapest rate is below our ¥8,000 floor, so it fell outside the mid-range brief. |
| Dormy Inn Hiroshima, Aki-no-yu | Outside the theme | A large bath with an open-air section and sauna, open all night, and a free shuttle to JR Hiroshima station (book ahead). Rated 4.39 across 5,841 reviews, but the cheapest rate is below ¥8,000. |
| b hotel Hiroshima Heiwa Odori | Outside the theme | Every room is 50 m², with a kitchen and a washing machine, but the listing gives no walking time from any station, and no staff are on site. |
| 196 hotels | Below the floor | Fewer than 100 reviews, or an average below 4.0. |
Questions visitors ask
Should I stay near Hiroshima station or near the Peace Park?
Near the station if you are arriving by Shinkansen or airport bus, or going on to Miyajima by JR: Hotel Granvia Hiroshima South Gate sits on top of it. Near the park if the Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome are the point of the trip: Hilton Hiroshima is close to the Dome. Hatchobori is between the two, a short tram ride from both.
How do I get to Miyajima from these hotels?
Take the JR Sanyo line from Hiroshima station to Miyajimaguchi, then the ferry across to the island. From the hotels in Hatchobori and Nagarekawa, ride the streetcar to Hiroshima station first, or take the Hiroden streetcar all the way to Miyajimaguchi, which is slower but needs no change. Go early: the island fills up by late morning.
Which is closest to the airport bus?
Sheraton Grand Hiroshima Hotel is one minute from the airport limousine bus stop at Hiroshima station. Hotel Granvia Hiroshima South Gate is above the same station. Rakuten’s listings put the bus at about 50 minutes from the airport.
Is there anywhere to swim?
Hilton Hiroshima has a year-round pool, a gym and a sauna. RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima, by the Peace Park, also has a year-round pool and a sauna. Neither publishes tattoo rules, so ask before you go.
How much do these cost?
The table shows the cheapest price per person with breakfast, for two sharing, from Rakuten Travel’s availability search for Wednesdays and Saturdays between 28 October and 19 December 2026 (checked 18 October 2026). Weekdays start from about ¥8,000 each at Tokyu Stay Mercure and Hiroshima Washington Hotel. Prices change daily, so check the hotel’s page before booking.
Which one would you book?
Hotel Granvia Hiroshima South Gate scored highest at 77: right above the station and 4.63 across 865 reviews. If cost matters more, Tokyu Stay Mercure Hiroshima is brand new and from about ¥8,000 per person on a weeknight.
