The last bus from town is approx 8pm. Although they still run to the port, there is not an easy way to get from town to the hotel. A few shuttle busses, just once an hour or so from the port to the hotel would have given us peace of mind had we missed the last bus. It would have also enabled us to stay out and enjoy the evening in town.

We had a fantastic time in the Grand Prince hotel. The room was clean and spacious with beautiful views over the sea.

The hotel is hard to reach other than with the shuttle from Hiroshima central station; there are local buses but they are infrequent so one ends up making a 20 mn walk. Its restaurants are crazy expensive by Japanese standards.

Nice hotel, great rooms, beautiful architecture and view. Unexpectedly low rates for such a hotel.

The shuttle bus to the station is not very frequent, we ended up taking the normal regular bus or taxis . The swimming pool is great for kids not so much for a proper swim. You are outside the town which is great for the views but a bit more hassle if you want to eat in town in the evening

The view is spectacular and the facilities are great in the hotel . Great breakfast buffet

Using any of the amenities cost extra. I don't think I've ever neen charged to use a hotel pool before. Same with gym etc.

Stunning views and immediately access to ferry terminal.

Location - the hotel is too far from the main points of interest in Hiroshima. The main reason we chose this hotel was the private peer from which you could reach the island of Miyajima. However, I could not find information about the time-table before we arrived at the hotel. The last boat left the island around 17h, which was too early as we wanted to spend time there during low tide as well. This was disappointing as we needed more than 1h to come back to the hotel afterwards via other means.

It is a big hotel with excellent facilities. Rooms are spacious and view towards the sea is beautiful. The free bus to the train station is great but the first one leaves a bit late (9h50) and the last one leaves the train station a bit early - 19h20.

The concierge wasnt very helpful, and getting taxis from this location is difficult. The food was expensive and not awesome quality

It was nice to have a pool and the rooms were comfortable. The location was peaceful and scenic. We loved the bar which had an amazing view and the pastries in the lounge downstairs were yummy

You have to pay separately for the swimming pool (€20), the spa, the Gym (€20) and there is no option to wash your clothes

Style, comfort

Rooms are dated and need an upgrade. Restaurant prices did not match the food quality.

Beautiful view and friendly staff.

$20 to get to the city. Didn’t have any outdoor chairs to sit near the water unless you wanted to pay for pool access. Line to check in was over 25 minutes.

Great price, right on the water!

The plus side of this hotel is also the down side. It's located on a peninsula, difficult to get to, and leave from. The public bus has a limited frequency, starts early, finishes early in the day. The hotel bus has an odd timetable which never worked out for us. Prepare for long walk to hotel, or Taxi.

Location is great, close to harbor, off center, very close to nature. This was my best morning run in Japan, through proper forest, with good elevation. Breakfast was the best we had in Japan. Breakfast is at the top-level from the hotel, with a beautiful view. Despite the location being off-center (see next point) it is one of the best experiences we had in Japan.

- Lack of tables and seats to relax when the bar is closed at the 1st floor - Extra cost to access to the swimming pool quite expensive which is a surprise for French people

- the large bedrooms very comfortable - the breakfast with the view : exceptional!

Nothing. It was a wonderful hotel in a great location.

What a lovely hotel to stay at - the size of the room and the view was excellent. Buffet breakfast was great with lots of choice. The bus stop was right outside the hotel and there was a wonderful little restaurant outside the hotel next to the bus stop. Overall great value for money. The onsen was a bonus after a long day of sightseeing.

Limited time for outdoor pool in 35 degree heat, and excessive cost to use at 3300yen per person per day

View was spectacular but distance from city meant relying on shuttle bus or taxi.

Swimming pool charge, room was dusty in places. We took boat to Miyajima but the travel desk did not inform us the ropeway was closed for maintenance which was disappointing

The views and setting are fantastic

We didn't get any amenities like face wash or cream, so I am not sure if our room got missed? Was strange with so many low end hotels and the "All you want " amenities.

Location is beautiful! Ferry is so close! Staff was great! So comfortable!

The hotel is a bit outdated and isolated from the city. Limited options for Western-style breakfast. All amenities (pool, gym, onsen) come with extra fees even for guests.

The view. The buffet breakfast is fantastic for Asian-style breakfasts.

The room looked a bit tired. Far from Hiroshima center. There is a shutle from the staion to the hotel but if you miss it, it is a long bus ride.
