Etajimacho Tsukumo Holidays

Next to Hiroshima Airport and a beautiful Japanese garden

The entry is extremely hard to find- look for a narrow doorway in the middle of the block, not where the map places you. Signage is poor. Take the elevator to the 5th floor. Reception is unmanned but there is a phone if you have problems with their automatic sign-in (we did). Once we were in the room it was fine for the night.

Absolutely beautiful waterfront property. The ferry to Miyajima picks you from the back of the hotel. Unfortunately, the pool was closed during the month of June, which was regrettable as the weather was quite hot. The onsen is beautiful. The gym is clean and spacious with a sample of equipment . The breakfast buffet provided a large assortement of options. We opted for an upgrade to the executive level which offered us access to a lovely lounge with water front views available throughout different periods of the day. Service was lovely.

This is not a standard hotel. If you are looking for a clean, quiet apartment type space with a kitchenette and laundry, this is PERFECT. If you are looking for traditional hotel services, reception, support services etc., this is not what you want. The check in is kiosk type and tedious for a large group. A 15 min walk from Hiroshima Station but very direct. Excellent TV and WiFi.

Expedia / Hotel staff did not share the entry code on my email. I had to call them and ask for it. They were very helpful and confirmed my reservation. But there was a momentary panic.
