My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms could use a renovation as they felt tired and the air conditioning didn't work well, but the staff suggested opening the windows. The annex rooms were dated and not well-maintained. However, the staff was pleasant and tried to be helpful despite language barriers.

The hotel rooms are tiny but cozy, though the soundproofing is an issue. I found it convenient as it served its purpose, but having to take two elevators to reach my room each time was a hassle. The staff were very courteous and always ready to assist, making my stay pleasant overall.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although tiny yet cozy, had a very strong smell of old cigarettes, and the lack of proper soundproofing made it hard to relax. On the bright side, the staff was very kind and helpful. The location was convenient, close to Hiroshima station, but unfortunately, the non-smoking floor seemed very hard and uncomfortable. The dining options provided basic choices, nothing too exciting. The facilities were average, nothing extraordinary stood out.
