Nest Hotel Hiroshima Ekimae

The room in this hotel is cleverly designed. I stayed in double room (15m2) - normally room of this size in Japan feels really tiny, but not this hotel. The room actually feels spacious. I also liked the shower - no bathtub but the shower feels less squeezier than other hotels with shower over bathtub. Not a pretentious hotel - the lobby if well lit and rather simpler but the receptionist (one person at a time) is very courteous and spoke good English. I will stay at this hotel again for my solo trip. Thank you, Nest Hotel

Exceeded expectations:) Walking distance from Hiroshima train station, also very close to a tram stop. Good customer service- provided us with free umbrellas to use, bath towels, shampoo/conditioner/body soap/tooth brush/hair comb (general amenities), and has luggage storage service. Clean minimalistic hotel, paid only ~7500 yen per night for a double bed room. Also had free breakfast (a range of bread, tea/juice/coffee) although my booking did not include it! Would definitely come back

Great size for a family stay, but cleanliness needs work We stayed at Nest Hotel Hiroshima Ekimae during our recent trip, and overall it was a solid choice. One thing I appreciated and that lines up with many of the other reviews, is the hotel’s convenient location, just a short walk from Hiroshima Station, and the modern, compact design that works well for short stays. I was pleasantly surprised by the room size, especially for Japan, it was perfect for me and my two sons. We had enough space to move around and sleep comfortably, which can be rare in city hotels. That said, I was pretty disappointed with them not having converter plugs and the cleanliness, particularly under the bed. I have bad allergies, and as soon as I laid down, I started feeling them flare up. Later, I dropped an earbud and had to reach under the bed to retrieve it, that’s when I noticed the thick layer of dust and dirt in the areas that aren’t immediately visible. Definitely not what I’d expect from a hotel of this standard. If they tighten up the cleaning routine (especially in hidden spots), this could easily be a 4 or 5-star stay. Until then, I’d say it’s a good pick for short trips, just maybe pack some allergy meds if you’re sensitive like me.
