I stayed here while checking out the newly renovated Hiroshima Station. I was really impressed by how helpful and clear the front desk staff was, and how clean everything looked.
Check-in is done via a machine, which then dispenses your room key. Similarly, for check-out, you insert your room key into the machine for collection. To operate the elevator, you hold your card key up to the touch panel in the middle and then press your floor button. I noticed the elevators seemed to go up and down faster than in typical hotels. To open your room door, you hold your card key near the doorknob.
The room itself was very clean. The step into the bathroom was very small, which is great for elderly guests. I was surprised when water started flowing from the ceiling during the shower! It's a minor point, but I was a bit disappointed that the showerhead didn't have a stop button.
The breakfast buffet offered standard dishes, but I really enjoyed the Hiroshima greens – it brought back a lot of good memories and tasted delicious.
Room wear (pajamas) and tea are available on the first floor, so remember to grab them before heading up to your room.
The only downside was the check-in time. I arrived 30 minutes early at 2:30 PM, and after parking my car, I was charged an extra 100 yen, bringing the total to 1100 yen.
The location is excellent, about 800m from Hiroshima Station and 300m from the stadium, making it perfect for staying if you're attending a Carp game. There's also a Lawson nearby that sells Carp merchandise.
Overall, I had a comfortable stay and I'm glad I chose Toyoko Inn Stadium Mae. I'd definitely like to stay here again if I have the chance.
