Convenient location, comfortable rooms, attentive staff. The bar at the 14th floor was nice, but did not have what I requested that evening.

This place was amazing. Awesome service. Great value. Comfortable bed and the absolute best water pressure I’ve ever had which I loved. I would stay there every time.

RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima
The breakfast was good, and I was happy that even though I went late, there was enough of everything left. The fresh made pancakes were a delight, but I was disappointed that I could not make the topping machine work, and I would have liked to have a maple syrup option.
