APA Hotel Hiroshima Ekimae Shinkansenguchi

This hotel was very comfortable. It had enough space for me and I found it quite nice. The bed was softer than the usual hotel bed and I felt safe. The location is quite good once you figure it out. I am quite good with directions, but got turned around trying to get there from the station. However, once I figured it out, it was easy to find. I just got out on the wrong side of the station so was a bit turned around. But after that, I found getting to and from the station much easier. It's also the first hotel I stayed at in Japan where my window had a view. It was nice. The staff communication was good too. There was signage around that evening saying that breakfast the next might be busy, so plan your timing accordingly. I appreciated that warning as I had an early plane to catch. Had I not known that it would be busy at breakfast, it may have affected my timing in the morning. But I had plenty of notice.

We booked two rooms with connecting door. It's a fun experience for my kid. Though the room is pretty tight, but the space arrangement is so efficient I admire the good room design. Location is perfect. Close to train stations and convinent store. Good restaurant options near by. We tried a place called Teppen. The food and setting reminds us solitary gourmet.

First time experiencing APA Hotel after hearing a lot about their functional-but-tiny rooms. I don’t know if all the branches are like this but honestly this one was great. I was impressed by the ultra-modern setup (TV was equipped with a very in-depth hotel guide that even lets you check on the occupancy of the public bath and laundry room in real time). There were plenty of USB slots and wall sockets and there was also plenty of space underneath the bed to store your suitcase (including a storage box to store smaller bags). The bathroom is small but well-equipped with a shower that can actually be angled to your liking! We were lucky enough to get a connecting room which was basically two standard rooms with a connecting door. I can objectively say that one person to a room is very comfortable, probably the best you can get from a business hotel. If you’re travelling with another person and the price is right, I’d highly recommend going for the connecting room for double the space and bathrooms.

It's convenient to have hot baths in the building, and provided robes and slippers which made it feel luxurious, definitely a fantastic perk! Room was laid out very well, lots of hooks on the wall for hanging bags and clothes to make the most of a small room. Lighting was adjustable as well.

Brilliant location for the train station. Lots of amenities in the hotel and in the rooms. Friendly staff.
