OUCHI HOTEL Nishi-Tokaichi

The hotel itself is good and the staff was nice, but after the checkout I never met them again and had no way to contact them. I tried it via mail, but got never a response, so this was quite frustrating. There is also no lift, so you have to carry your luggage up and down. The check-in and check-out is quite easy, because you get some codes via mail, which you use to eat into the building and into your room. That's something I really liked.

I stayed for only one night but I could imagine staying longer to explore Hiroshima and Miyajima. The rooms were small, as expected, but clean, comfy and including adjustable air conditioning. The bathrooms offered free shampoo and body wash and there were numerous electrical outlets. The people at the reception were very nice and forthcoming and if you speak a little bit Japanese, they will be very impressed! The only downside might be, that there is no elevator, you might have to carry your luggage to the upper floors. I would certainly stay here again!

It's a good location once you get used to it, it's a ten minute walk to Yokogawa Station which has JR, streetcars and buses and is two stops from Hiroshima Station. The amenities were good, large towels, comfortable bed, reasonably priced. There are two good ramen shops close by Kouya ramen and Youki ramen, check those out. Enjoy!

Fairly basic accommodation - they have everything you need but its not too central and there are no staff. We received an email with a passcode to enter the building and our room, and then just had an email telling us to check out so quite impersonal. The room was pretty standard, small but with everything you need. Its reasonable for what you pay.

You can sleep there, but don't expect much else. The room was dirty, the shower stunk, the closet was falling apart and the fridge was so loud we had to unplug it to be able to get some sleep. It's also quite far away from most touristy things and may be unsuitable for people that don't know how Japan works. Might have forgiven it a little if it wasn't so expensive. There also weren't any curtains, so if you need darkness to be able to sleep, you're out of luck.
