“Great Central Location”

The Urbain is a 5-minute walk from the Hiroshima Train Station and all trolley stops. Good restaurants abound in the area as well as high end shopping. A complimentary continental breakfast is offered and is quite tasty. The staff was helpful and were able to converse in English.

“Great Location & Value”

We loved staying here & were so surprised as just how close it was to Hiroshima Station. We were travelling with a 4 & 5 year old so this was very handy for tired legs at the end of the day. The rooms were very comfortable. We knew they were going to be small in advance so this was fine. The shower was amazing. We loved how it could give you a lower back massage. Having breakfast provided was great as well. Plenty of choice in the morning & also wonderful that you could help yourself to a drink at any time of the day. We would stay here again. Loved the fact there was a park for the kids down the road & that there was a supermarket a couple of hundred metres away. Staff were friendly as well & the girls loved the giant balloons they were given when we left. My husband also found it great to be able to log on to the computer in the lobby & check emails every morning. Overall, a most excellent experience.

“Ron from Brisbane - definitely will return”

My wife and I have stayed here on two occasions as we visited Hiroshima and its environs. We find it is very convenient or us, close to the main JR rail station - about 5-8 minutes walk. We arrived quite late this time - around 11.00pm - and the desk staff were very helpful and had Ok English. It is a boutique hotel and small in the way many Japanese hotels are but we find it suits us very well, We are both in our sixties and it is an easy walk from the station and very handy to the shops and bus/tram terminus. Fixed fares are a real plus. Good breakfast included and unlimited tea/coffee etc great. Very favourable priced as well. Will definitely be back there in the Japanese spring when the cherry blossoms are out.

“Very clean hotel in a great location”

The hotel is very new and all the facilities are top quality. The room was small, but everything was very clean. We booked 2 semi double non smoking rooms and both were the same top quality! No cigarette smells at all. We had breakfast included, which was a full buffet style with many hot and cold options. Free drinks (soft drinks and tea/coffee) are available in the loby 24 hours a day. Internet is also available in the loby, but not in your room. The location is fantastic, only a short walk from the train station, which is very handy when you have suitcases. The A-bom Dome and Peace Museum are around a 20 min walk from the hotel and you can also visit the Hiroshima castle along the way.

“Great hotel location”

Great hotel, close to the station. We spent hours walking around Hiroshima and taking train, street car, ferry.

“Perfect if it wasn't for the room size”

We stayed at this Hotel on our 15th and 16th day in Japan. So, you can't say that we don't understand that rooms in Japan are just small, we do, but, the room in this Hotel was beyond small. small as in tiny. The only space where you can stand gets blocked when you open the bathroom door, so, if you stayed in one of the double rooms of this Hotel, you need to yell out to your partner before you exit the bathroom so that your partner can get on the bed, or back close to the outer door while you open the door out. Otherwise, this place was perfect in every way, best buffet breakfast we had in Japan, free internet (which is rare in Japan), free all day drink bar. You can even become a member of the Hotel for free, and use their member only area that has a jaccuzi and a sauna. All is all, I would stay here again, but, next time, should take the double room with two twin beds.
