Hiroshima no Yado Aioi

My son and I visited Hiroshima July 19-21 and stayed at Hiroshima no Yado Aioi. It was a very nice hotel with extremely friendly staff. Your shoes are left in the lobby on their own shelf and the room we stayed in (408) was spacious and clean. You could not ask for a better location when staying in the city. The hotel entrance is right across from the Peace Park and the rooms look out over the Atomic Dome. The covered Hiroshima Hondori Shopping Street is only a short walk away as is the Hiroshima Gate Park. If I ever get the opportunity to visit Hiroshima again (we are from the North East United States), I won't hesitate to stay there.

Hiroshima no Yado Aioi stands out for its exceptional location—right next to the Peace Memorial Park, offering a truly unique and meaningful view. Our room was spacious, which is always a plus in Japan, and the breakfast was delicious, featuring local specialties that gave us a real taste of the region. The staff was incredibly kind and polite, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The only slight downside was that, given the price, we expected something a bit more refined. The room showed some signs of aging, which made it feel a little less polished than anticipated. That said, for the location, service, and comfort, it's still a solid choice for a stay in Hiroshima.

Hiroshima no Yado Aioi is ideally located, just steps away from the Peace Memorial Park, which is its standout feature. The room itself was fairly spacious, though considering the price, we had hoped for something a bit more polished. It showed some wear and tear, and while we’ve used futons before, this one was notably thin and became uncomfortable after a while which detracted from the overall experience.

Staying here was a highlight of our visit to Hiroshima and one of our favorite places that we stayed in Japan! The location can’t be beat, literally across the street from the A-bomb dome and a 2 minute walk from the museum and Peace Park. Also very close to different eateries and shops to check out. Great onsen with nice views. The room was spacious, clean, quiet, and had beautiful views. The breakfast was amazing, probably 8-10 different traditional dishes to try and all delicious—I don’t usually recommend hotel breakfasts, but this one can’t be missed. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. Wonderful, traditional Japanese hotel. Wouldn’t recommend staying anywhere else!

Very nice and welcoming staff. Amazing and convenient location ! Traditional room was great and very beautiful with a view on the dôme!
