It was good that it was within walking distance from Mazda Stadium.If you take the bus in front of the hotel, you will arrive in 2 stops, so it is also recommended for those who do not want to walk.However, if it is a night game, there will be no return bus, so you will have to walk on your way back.The room is small, but acceptable.It was nice to have a variety of rental items available and a drink service.The staff was very nice, so I will use them again.The Indian curry shop across the street was delicious.

Used September 24thUsed for the first time to watch a Hanshin Tigers game at Mazda Stadium.Previously, I had mainly chosen hotels near the Shinkansen exit, but since the road to the stadium was crowded, I made the right decision to choose hotels on the opposite side.From Hiroshima Station, go through the underground passage and walk from Exit 3, a few minutes away.It's across the street from Tsutaya Home Appliances ➡Nest Hotel, so you don't have to worry about overlooking it.The area around the 1st floor front desk is full of Hiroshima Carp, which makes you laugh at the typical Hiroshima scene.Having one elevator is a slight negative factor, but it's nice to have a welcome drink and sweets.The interior of the room is compact, functional, and user-friendly.I can't rate the breakfast since it's a room only plan, but overall it's a hotel I'd want to use again.

I had been using it for several years only for breakfast, but the price went up from 1,500 yen to 1,800 yen (though it would probably be cheaper for hotel guests), and they ran out of tuna. Speaking of Vessel Inn, it was tuna.Hiroshima's famous okonomiyaki, fried oysters, and dandan noodles, there's not much you can eat in the morning. Curry was also added to the lineup, but the ingredients weren't blended together, there were just not enough of them, and it tasted like a ready-made dish.What's more, the number of Japanese side dishes has also decreased. The wiener was also gone. There was a hotpot dish, but was it hotpot in the morning?It's a shame that even though the price has gone up, the quality has gone down. Drink your drinks in paper cups...If Vessel Inn doesn't have tuna, which was like its identity, I don't think I'll go there anymore...

Service was good. A little far from the station. As for soundproofing, I could hear the door opening and closing outside, but I could put up with it for just one night.

I have stayed at various hotels in Hiroshima, and I think the cost performance is good.I also appreciate that breakfast includes side dishes typical of Hiroshima, such as okonomiyaki and conger eel.

I thought they had run out of tuna, but it was a great breakfast buffet that really gave you a sense of Hiroshima. I was very happy with the fried momiji. The welcome service was also very nice, with sweets changing depending on the time of day and drinks available.

When I used the parking lot, I moved the cone out of the way by myself, but I would have liked the hotel to move it if possible.|The room was small but comfortable. …

The room and especially the bed were a little small, but the staff was very friendly and very close to the train station.
