Rihga Royal Hotel Hiroshima

Service was excellent

This is a great option for people wishing to visit Hiroshima. Located right next to the main sights and close to the train station, you can around the city very easily. The breakfast was very good, the room was large and very comfortable, and the views on the city were breathtaking. The staff were very friendly, and even offered us an upgrade for our honeymoon! A truly memorable experience and great value for money.

While the hotel itself is great, the main restaurant on the ground floor is really not up to scratch for an international hotel. The ‘English menu’ has some parts translated in English, but unfortunately not the parts that you need to understand how the buffet works! Moreover, the restaurant really lacks English-speaking staff. We had an easier time speaking to staff at traditional ryokans and rural restaurants than in this international hotel. Finally, the buffet dinner on offer is the most expensive we’ve ever seen anywhere in the world, while the the quality of the food is very average. Really not worth your money. Stay at the hotel, avoid the restaurant!

Great service, location, and room.

Some amenities (like gym) were locked behind memberships/fees
