THE KNOT Hiroshima
This hotel was amazing, and the staff were incredible. I absolutely loved my stay. The room was clean and spacious, and the bed was comfortable. The only downside was they did not have any English channels or movies. That being said I wasn't there for the TV experience.

Had a wonderful stay. Corner room was a lovely size with great view. Happy hour was excellent in the bar and food was good. Very well run hotel - highly recommend. We had the set menu for a special occasion which was a bit too adventurous - should have gone with the teppanyaki as as advised!
