Frommer's Review

Located on one of Hiroshima's many rivers, about halfway between Hiroshima Station and downtown, this small, personable hotel offers great value and is a true find -- nicely decorated with an Italian flair and managed by a very friendly staff, some of whom speak English. The cheapest rooms have glazed windows facing the back, while rooms only slightly more expensive have refreshing views of the river. A very atmospheric Italian restaurant also capitalizes on the river view, while across the street, right beside the river, is the hotel's open-air pavilion cafe. There's a computer in the lobby you can use for free, as well as telephones with free domestic calls to land lines (in-room phones are only for receiving calls, not for making calls). In short, this establishment is a pleasant surprise compared to most inexpensive lodgings and has more personality than the Toyoko Inn chain.

Facilities:
Restaurant; cafe; tea lounge; in-room massage; coin-op washer and dryer; same-day laundry/dry-cleaning service; nonsmoking rooms (only 4 twin rooms); computer in lobby w/free Internet access

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
