Very near to train station and the main streets of shopping malls (end of wich you have the Peace Park), the promenade and the fun night zone. Safe as all Japan asn staff is gentle as all japanese are. Clean. Good choice for the price. Room is logically smallclose

This is a decent choice if you want a cheap hotel with private bathroom and Japanese TV channels in your room. The buffet breakfast is ok with fruit, yoghurt, toast and scrambled eggs as well as a japanese option. No internet facilities unless you have your own laptop. Overall, pretty good.

Rooms are small but clean and comfortable and ensuite. Wonderful view over the river.. The map location on Hostelworld site is incorrect! After walking for nearly an hour from the station I eventually had to get a taxi costing an extra 1000 yen - the Hotel is by the river nearest the station! Easy access to/from the station via the tram. Well located for visiting all the main attractions. Very good buffet breakfast.close

Good location next to the tram station and just a few minutes walk to the main shopping area. Maybe a 15 minute walk to Peace Memorial Park. Also, nice location right next to a river for morning walks. Rooms are extremely small though. Basically a short hallway and your bed. That is it.

This is a very tired standard business hotel. Carpets felt like they came from an old pub. Rooms are very small, standard room is too small for 2 people. Would not recommend to anybody.

Nice to have breakfast included especially since there were 3 of us. Internet connection worked well too.The location of this hostel made up for the leak in the roof.close

A good cheap hotel that is centrally located in Hiroshima. It isn't a hostel, so it isn't a place to meet up with travelers. But if you are looking for a little break from dorm room hostels and wanting a cheap hotel to stay at night, this is great.

Staff were friendly and very helpful.Good situation, quite close to the train station on one side and the shops as well as tram line are just down the road.Clean rooms, style a little frumpy, old fashioned, bathroom was a little small. But decent place to stay for a night!Got free breakfast too.

Very professional hotel. Good value for money. Within walking distance to the train station and the Turist side as well. Breakfast was very nice. Both Japanese and Western style. Rooms are being cleaned daily. It helps if you know some basic Japanese, as staff doesn't speak too much English.

Really good place actually. Not more than 10 mins to go to the big shopping-street and another 10 mins to walk to the Hiroshima A-Bomb site and the museum. The breakfast is worth all the money and we we slept in a twin private room and we thought it was so nice! I strongly recommend it! ;)

This is basically a hotel, not a hostel. It is a decent choice for Hiroshima though if you're not looking for a party venue or are a couple. Rooms are comfortable, decent bathrooms and a TV. We booked it because all the hostels were full, but no regrets

Hotel Central Hiroshima is a tired but honest Japanese business hotel, its good value as it includes free Internet access in the rooms and breakfast. It's convenient too as it's on the tram line from the station and to all the major attractions. I'd stay there again if I was in Hiroshima.
