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 is convenient, a short walk to Hiroshima station, which is the main station for Shinkansen, trams, local buses and trains, as well as the JR tourist bus and the airport bus. The walk is fine even if you are walking with your luggage. The hotel room is new and clean, the bed is comfy. The room size is Japanese standard, so don’t expect a big room. The amenities are great, especially if you are female as they provide facial care. There is a convenient store at the entrance of the hotel. Can’t tell you much about the breakfast since I haven’t tried it. The front desk is usually staffed but I checked in and out using the machine which was easy.

We loved everything. The location was great, easy to find and easy to get to from Hiroshima Station. Staff were very friendly and rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Laundry facilities were excellent and loved that you could see available machines from your room. Everything in the room had English translations which made things very easy to use. We loved having the connecting room for our family.

The staff were very nice & friendly and provided us with an excellent service! We enjoyed the location as it was central to Hiroshima station (less than a 10 minute walk away) and very close to the street car. There were plenty of nice shops and restaurants around, including a fantastic Okonomiyaki restaurant close by. Right next door to Sotetsu Fresa Inn is a conbini that we visited multiple times a day. It was very easy to travel to and from the hotel. They provide a variety of complimentary travel items and also loan out items such as nail clippers which was very helpful. After our check-out we were able to leave our luggage in their cloak room and weigh our luggage on their luggage scale. This was very useful for us and we were appreciative of their service.

Really enjoyed the stay: - great location, look to left at tram/streetcar stop outside Hiroshima train station south exit and you can see the hotel, short walk of less than 5min or 150m - Lawson at ground floor, great to buy snacks and also book for baseball matches at Mazda stadium - opposite Edion mall has many eateries, the ramen shop is great - friendly and helpful staff attended to us during check-in and check-out - great size connecting rooms, plenty of space if using backpacks, but space may be limited if you need to open large luggage - room looks brand new, bed very comfortable, shower pressure good and hot water was ready quickly - 3 lifts available so waiting time was ok - 4 coin/ic-operated washers-cum-dryers can be busy if many guests using, but 2h washing/drying cycle is sufficient for small load, may need extra 30min dry cycle for larger load
