"This is an older, but well-maintained property. The rooms are much bigger and better equipped than the equivalently-priced business or tourist hotel. No restaurant, but very reasonably priced meals can be ordered in the room, mainly through a Japanese-only TV system. Staff were very helpful with extra towels, parking issues, and meals were delivered punctually at the requested time. Drawback: absolutely no view of anything, as all windows are curtained and shuttered. It helps to know the custom...

"Great location "

A verified traveller stayed at HOTEL GRANVIA HIROSHIMA SOUTH GATE

5/5 Excellent

"My first visit to Hiroshima and my first time staying with Intergate. Pleasantly surprised. My room was very spacious (easily the biggest hotel room I've had in Japan in the £100-£150 per night price bracket). The room was nice and cleans the bed was comfortable with a good shower/bath combo (I would have preferred a standalone showers though). Guests also have complimentary "happy hour" drinks in the afternoon with free wine and sparkling wine as well as a small selection of cocktails, soft drinksnand and snacks; I was very glad with this "happy hour" perk. The staff were polite and helpful. The hotel itself is located in a good spot, being about 20 minutes slow walk to, for example, the Atomic Dome. Plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. If I return to Hiroshima one day, I would strongly consider staying at this hotel again for all of the above reasons. Thanks!"
