Sotetsu Fresa Inn Hiroshima

Great location, short walk down the street from Hiroshima station where you can get trains or trams. Some good restaurants nearby and a Lawson convenience store downstairs was very handy. Lots of amenities available to collect in foyer for your room eg toothbrush, shampoo, tea/coffee, shower caps etc as well as items to borrow including hairdryer, iron , even food steamer. Clear housekeeping system that gave you the options of either No housekeeping, Change towels only, or full room clean. Hotel also has a coin laundry. They have computerised check in/out kiosks with multiple languages but there are staff there in case of issues.

The location was absolutely perfect. It was a short walk to the main Hiroshima station where I needed to base myself for Shinkansen usage. A medium-sized convenience store on level 1 of the hotel selling all travel essentials you might've forgotten, in addition to the usual convenience store stuff, is also very much appreciated. Other than that it's a very basic business hotel, but they provide everything you need. I also really like that they hang a little card at the entrance area which you can use to slot in for electricity instead of your room keycard. This meant that for the entire duration of my stay, I could leave the keycard in my purse without ever fumbling to take it out (the main door is unlocked by tapping).

We had a pleasant stay at Sotetsu Fresa Inn Hiroshima. The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from the train station, making it very convenient for getting around the city. The room was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a short stay. As expected in Japan, the room was quite small, but it was efficiently designed and comfortable for a couple of nights. Breakfast had some decent options but could be improved in terms of variety and quality. Overall, this is a solid and reliable choice for travelers looking for a clean, well-located hotel in Hiroshima. We’d recommend it for short stays, especially if you’re traveling by train.

Our stay here was great. The amenities provided were good and it was in a super convenient location right next to the station. There is a convenience store right next to the hotel entrance. Amazing value for money. The rooms include a hot tub, modern toilet, kettle, mini fridge, and they even offer pajamas and slippers. We did not use it, but they also offer a laundry service. The self check-in and checkout system was very convenient, but there was also friendly staff present to help so it didn't feel so impersonal. They also let us store our luggage in a large room with a security camera after checkout.

Bed: Slightly firm in a good way - not soft and saggy. Spacious enough for two people by jap standards. Bathroom: Standard. Location: Great - quick walk from station with various convenience stores downstairs/nearby. Unfortunately nothing much nearby (<5mins), you do need to venture out a bit by tram to access the shops/restaurants. Tram stop just behind the hotel so very convenient.
