리버 스위트 히로시마

다카노바시까지 트램타고오면 3분정도 걸어오면 있습니다. 바로 앞에 세븐일레븐 편의점이 있고, 주변에 음식점들도 몇개 있는데 맛집인지 사람은 항상 많았습니다. 숙소 입구에 커피랑 기본적인 어메니티 구비되어 있고 욕실의 세탁기에도 세제 등 기본적으로 제공해줍니다. 넓고, 여러명이 묵기에 나쁘지 않아 다음 히로시마 여행계획이 생긴다면 또 여기에 묵고 싶습니다.

Firstly, the complex, apartment, and entry areas are basically immaculate. It’s very IKEA-chic, modern and simple. It was easy to find. Stairs and elevator available. We had a snag at first because the code and information to get into the complex/ lobby was not sent but that may have been due to Agoda and not the hotel since Agoda censors numbers and hyperlinks. Once we got in, it was nice and chilly and that helped since it was hotter than an oven the day we arrived. The location is a bit far from some things, like the Children’s museum and Peace Parks, but it was not a hard journey either walking or trolley/ bus. It was just made harder by grumpy children and high heat with humidity. It was fairly easy to use our Pasmo on the buses and trolleys so we could get basically anywhere in the city within 30 mins max. The trolley stop is one block from the hotel. Highly recommend topping your IC up at the train station before jumping onto the trams. The only issue we had with the room itself would be the lack of blackout curtains. There are paper-like shades on all the windows and there is a very bright parking lot and busy main road to the right and right beside the bedroom area. We all woke repeatedly due to traffic sounds (sirens, tuner cars, motorbikes) and the very bright illumination from the parking lot and street lamps. It still looked like 1300 at 0200 due to the lights outside. Then when the sun did come up about 0430, it was impossible to sleep (see photo of the sleeping area at 0430). Adding blackout curtains or heavier black reflective blinds would be stellar. Other than the excessive brightness, we adults didn’t have any complaints. The kids did were a little disappointed they couldn’t stream a movie with our smartphones as we have in other Japanese hotels, but we didn’t spend much time inside anyhow. This is a great spot if you’re staying more than a night in Hiroshima. It would make a great home base for a family or group traveling. Our family of five fit well with lots of space. There is a kitchenette with everything you need including a fridge, stove top, coffee bar, and dining space. There’s also a 7-11 conbini less than 100 yards from the front doors if you need anything. There were dozens of restaurants close by and a grocery store about two blocks from the hotel. Overall, we enjoyed are stay even with a few bumps. This is a nice little spot to stay in Hiroshima.

The room is huge. I didn’t know it was an airbnb type. Not in the busy area. You need to walk 15 minutes to go to downtown Hiroshima

Close to one of the street car stops, which made it very convenient for transportation. The apartment was large and spacious and we enjoyed our stay here. Would stay again!
