HOTEL GRANVIA HIROSHIMA SOUTH GATE
Simple but spacious room, having separate areas for the toilet and bath is a bonus. Location and convenience is the number one selling point, literally right next to the street car and JR station with plenty of shopping and eating options.

Thank you for your good service! Very clean room and good amenities. The pyjamas is a bit disappointing because it is a one piece top and a bit translucent.
