Hotel 28 Hiroshima

Hiroshima

We stayed in this hotel the night between August 5 and 6, when the hotels in Hiroshima are all full for the A-Bomb anniversary. The area is convenient to walk to the Peace Memorial and is full of places to eat. The room was very small, clean, but with a slightly dated look. The wifi on the floor is very weak. The amenities are common and consist of some toilets on the floor and a small laundry area. To get a shower, the only possibility is to use the common bathroom that is on the ground, divided into sexes, in a common gym douches type situation, but strictly Japanese style. If the thing is not there, I think it's a cleaning experience. It's very clean and you have to go to the reception (100¥).

Economy and for one night

The staff was helpful, but there was only a bed and a mini TV in the room, it was cold and there was no heating. The bathroom and the bathroom are common. You hear everything going on in the hallway so there's quite a bit of complete silence. The light goes through the curtains. We found the price really high compared to other hotels where the rooms were more modern and better equipped.

Not one more night.

The hotel's a 15-minute walk from Hiroshima station but it's well worth it.

Our spacey minimalist Japanese room was covered with tatami mats, sliding doors, flat screen TV, a low wooden table and 3 pillows on the floor. A big cupboard for the bedding (futons), a smaller one for us with face towels, yakuta (house kimono), free toothbrush and toothpaste, and a tiny hallway with room slippers. A tasty Japanese or Western breakfast was included in the room price.

There are toilets and washrooms on every floor, but showers only in the public bath. Big towels for the bath can be rented for 50 yen at reception. We stayed at a non-smoking floor. Wifi officially only in the lobby, but we managed to use it in our room too.

Reception staff was very friendly and polite, their English sufficient for basic communication. A truly Japanese experience, not to be missed!

A truly Japanese experience

If you are traveling and trying to keep the cost low, look no further. It's a room with a bed, and no bathroom. Old school AC, and key adapter that powers everything with the stick tied to your key... The location however is very nice! It's walking distance to most of the shopping areas. Enjoy... 

Cheap stay... 

The lobby was nice and I noticed an old Famicom (Nintendo) in the corner which is probably newer than the decor, sheets or anything but the tvs in the "rooms".
The 1st thing you notice when stepping out the elevator is the smell, it's probably a cross between cigarettes and mothballs and a dash of asbestos too.
the rooms are tiny which is fine because after staying at a capsule hotel and hostel I was happy to have somewhere safe to put all my things, there were stains all over the walls, the bed sheets and pillow looked gross so I covered the pillow with a towel and slept under the dressing gown.
I wouldn't stay here again despite the great location.
There's no showers but a bath you share with other guys (the cleanest room in the hotel) There's free wifi but it was terrible and couldn't do anything.

A Bit Gross

Only showers on the first floor, 
Communal toilets on each floor,
No wifi connection except in lobby,
Prison cell bedroom with 1950s furniture falling apart,
Staff not helpful,
I've paid a quarter of the price of this for hostels which are 20 times better.

Don't bother, yuck! 

1 night if your desperate enough... 

This place is the definition of budget travel accommodation,  if you can't afford more, I'd suggest it, but if you can- stay away. 

The hotel itself looks like it hasn't been touched since the 70s, and many of the floors and rooms stink of cigarettes (I am a smoker and it bothered me, I can't imagine how non-smokers would take it). 

The rooms are decent enough sized, but there is no WiFi provided centrally by the hotel (important if you are travelling from overseas). On the other hand, the staff are helpful enough, although less so than many of my other stays around japan. 

The best thing about this hotel is its location. You're 10 minutes walk (max) from the peace park and museum,  and right in the middle of hiroshima's amazing nightlife district.  

Fine for travel on the cheap, but avoid if possible. 

Book this hotel to sleep only one night. The hotel is in a neighborhood full of restaurants, drinking sites and love hotels. A central and busy area. About 20-30 minutes walk from the train station. The hotel's common areas are more or less fine, but the rooms are small with small beds. In general, a medium-clean hotel, but you never think to ask for a smoker's room (whether you are, or not) because it really stinks. The bathrooms are common, Japanese-style. The shower is low with a chair and a pool of common hot water. It has a shower. It has a hot tub. You're lucky, because that area seems to be little trampled by women, and I could enjoy the bathroom alone...

To pass one night..

We stayed one night at Hotel 28 in Hiroshima. Hotel 28 is right in the center, and you can get there in 20 minutes on foot or by tram from the train station or bus station. All the sights are very well within walking distance. The room itself was small and the furnishings were a little muffled and older. The breakfast was okay, you can choose between Japanese and western. Internet in the lounge for 100 yen/15 minutes. No bath in our room!
