Hotel Granvia Hiroshima
Very well located next to the station. Rooms feel a little dated though and there were signs of wear; wallpaper coming away from the wall and marked. Bathroom had a stray hair that wasn’t ours when we arrived. But generally good for a couple of nights, particularly for location.

Grandvrio Hotel Miyajima Wakura
Excellent Hotel with lots of amenities and a wonderful onsen/ sauna. Great location for catching the 20 minute ferry to Miyajima island which is a beautiful, must visit. Going to peace museum is a lot more of a trek / train ride but it’s not too bad. Highly recommend!
