Rihga Royal Hotel Hiroshima

We loved this hotel. It's large and anonymous but sometimes that's what you want. The views are wicked in both directions and the location is ideal for the Peace Park, shopping and an easy 10 minutes to okonomiyaki, food places and nightlife. We were lucky to get a corner room (room 2400, 24 floor, room 0) which gave outstanding views so ask for this if you can. Room was clean and had everything you need. Love the piped music throughout - even in the bathroom!

Drinks at the top floor bar were a bit expensive considering we were guests and be careful of the 2000 yen extra table charge. The bed spreads really need to be replaced - very dire pattern - but ask for an extra blanket to be delivered and you can cover it up!

Hiroshima is a fabulous place to go and this hotel is one of the biggest. Great location to Peace Memorial and shopping. The staff very helpful and friendly. Spotless but all of Hiroshima is this way. Quiet

Rhiga Royal is a hotel boasting from being the best hotel in Hiroshima. Big lobby, staff, shops and other characteristics of 5 star hotel. The room, however, was not at the level. I remember having been at Ana Crowne in other visit, which was much better: size of the room, bathroom, decoration. The highlight at Rhiga Royal was the view I had from my room: Peace park, river, etc. Through Booked.net I stayed 2 nights at 9000 yen/night. At this price it is certainly good or very good value for money. Unfortunately, when I asked for the bill, it became twice the price: 18000 yen/night. Fortunately I had my reservation printed, but it still took 15 minutes to get a bill for the right amount. The reception apologised and compensated me by bringing my luggage to the bus station.

It all depends on what you expected and what you paid for it. For the price I paid, it is certainly worhwhile. For a much higher price it lacks certain things: Room: bathroom not at the level of a 5-star. Room confortable but lacking charm. Services: there is a gymnasum and a spa, but apparently I was not entitled to use it . There is no free internet and no wireless. I paid 1000 yen/day for cable connection in my room. There is no limousine service to the airport. You have to go to the bus station which is nearby. Other: Few elevators for the number of storeys. Expect to wait for a while to go to your room.

This is a great hotel, great location, great staff with amazing views. It is not the cheapest, but of the luxury/business hotels we (me, wife and 3 kids) stayed in: superb.

If you complain about this hotel you stay in too many 5 star hotels. I've stayed ina few of those, and for its age this, all round, is equally as good.

near to all relevant places, amazing view from the hotal.

Nice location in downtown Hiroshima.

Apart from the location the main reason for booking this hotel was the swimming pool. Please be aware that the swimming pool only has four lanes, one of which is permanently reserved for members of a "health club", so in the end for hotel guests there are only three lanes left. The opening hours are restricted (on weekdays, 11 a.m.- 9 p.m., on weekends 10 a.m.-8 p.m., children in both cases only until 6 p.m.), so not really user-friendly and probably interfering with check-out times. But what is really outrageous, is the price: 3150 Yen (i.e. ca. 30 Euro, or ca. 39 USD) for pool and sauna, if you want to use pool, gym and sauna even 6300 Yen! I will not stay in this hotel again.

Very friendly staff, outstanding views of the city and surrounding mountains from the hotel room, good size room, excellent central position, good breakfast.

Rather old fashioned room and slight (old) smell of smoke in the corridor. I think the hotel would need a refurbishment, although everything was tidy and worked well. Nothing was bad, but felt like it was time for a freshen up.

Fantastic views over castle from both our rooms. Rooms were comfortable and large with extras such as tea and coffee being good quality. Excellent base for the city - only 10 mins from Peace Park. Very good value for money. We can recommend visiting Miyajima as a 1-day trip from Hiroshima.

Helpful staff, clean, spacious room, amazing view from the 23rd floor. wifi in room good.

Had to pay for 'Extras' that I didn't think we would… £30 to use the swimming pool (we didn't) and a service charge of £8 to have a drink in the bar on the 33rd floor.

Everything especially its location and the room is big.

Beautiful view of the city, the bay and Peace Museum. Very close to attractions and shopping, both just a short stroll away.

Decore is a bit dated but our view from the 27th floor more than made up for it. Roll away bed for third person in room was uncomfortable with spings sticking out. Japanese mattresses tend to be hard, so don't expect pillow top.

Good location great viewover the castle. Very friendly staff

It has a very good locality, being very near the peace memorial. The shopping districts are also a short walk away. The rooms are comfortable, and the hotel staff polite and very helpful.
