Hotel Granvia Hiroshima
A solid stay from start to finish! The staff were welcoming, the location was convenient, and the overall atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing. Everything ran smoothly and made for an enjoyable visit. The only minor issue was that the room felt a little dusty... I’d happily stay here again!
