GRAND BASE Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park Review

| | |

Located a peaceful 10-minute stroll from Hiroshima’s most poignant sights, this modern apartment-hotel hits the sweet spot between comfort and convenience. We found the self-contained units impressively roomy, each equipped with proper kitchens that let you whip up breakfast or save money on dining out. The self check-in works like a charm, and you’re just steps away from both the Peace Park and the haunting A-Bomb Dome.

On the downside, the stark apartment-style setup means you won’t find the cozy lobby atmosphere or personal touch of a traditional hotel. Some rooms facing the street can pick up traffic noise during rush hour.

This place is ideal for independent travelers, especially families or small groups who want to spread out and self-cater. History buffs will appreciate being within walking distance of Hiroshima’s memorial sites, while practical souls will love the easy access to buses and streetcars. If you’re seeking a functional, spacious base rather than a full-service hotel experience, you’ll feel right at home here.
