HOTEL MYSTAYS Hiroshima Peace Park: Riverside Views, Breakfast, and the Trade-offs of an Older Hotel
HOTEL MYSTAYS Hiroshima Peace Park
How This Hotel Suits a Stay
- The riverside location suits Peace Park, museum, and Hondori itineraries.
- There are rooms with an explicitly listed park view to choose.
- Guests praise the high-floor breakfast’s taste and view.
How Would I Choose?
I would compare this riverside hotel for a Peace Park trip. The view rooms and 14th-floor breakfast are appealing, but recent guests’ comments on the building’s age and cleanliness also need to go into the room choice.
HOTEL MYSTAYS Hiroshima Peace Park, at 3-3-1 Otemachi, suits people who make the museum, the park, and Hondori their main itinerary. My trade-off is direct: the location is worth considering, but the rooms have to be accepted as older in style — a river view does not equal newer facilities.
Room Types, Space, and Choosing: the Park View Must Be Written in the Room Name
The 18 sqm standard twin and the park-view standard twin differ mainly in outlook; for more space, look at the 22.2 sqm park-view superior twin. My approach is to decide first whether I really want a park view from the room, then compare sizes, rather than choosing a plain standard room and expecting a park window.
Several 2026 guest reviews mention ageing facilities, with specific complaints about the fridge and bedding cleanliness; on the other side, some find the rooms clean and the beds comfortable. If you are particularly sensitive to cleanliness details and how new the hardware feels, I would compare other options seriously, especially for longer stays.
| Room type | Size | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Standard twin | 18㎡ | Basic twin setup |
| Park-view standard twin | 18㎡ | Explicitly park-facing |
| Park-view superior twin | 22.2㎡ | View and larger size |
| Accessible twin | 21㎡ | One small double bed plus one single bed |

14th-Floor Breakfast: Guests Like Both the Taste and the View
Guests in August 2026 describe breakfast as varied and tasty, and July travellers also praise its quality. The open view from the 14th-floor restaurant is a reason I would want to sit down and take time over it; but the two guest lifts are busy at breakfast time, and guests warn about waiting.
Breakfast is listed as 6:30–9:30, with an adult reference price of 2,000 yen, 1,000 yen for ages 7–12, and free for age 6 and under. If you need to catch transport, I would go down early; if you want variety each morning, leave part of the morning for eating out. (Routine times and reference prices checked: 22 October 2026; follow the hotel’s on-site notices.)
I would compare the with-breakfast and without-breakfast options for the same room type, then judge by the official on-site reference price; the on-site price is not necessarily an extra you must pay on top of a rate difference. If you only want coffee or leave very early, there is no need to choose breakfast every day for the 14th-floor view.

Connections Toward Chuden-mae, Then Dining and Shopping in Hondori
3 Chome-3-1 Otemachi, Naka Ward, 730-0051 Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
Transport can be compared via Chuden-mae, Fukuromachi, or Hondori; if you take the Astram to Hondori Station, the East 1 exit has a ground-level lift. With luggage, I would pick the alighting point closest to the hotel first, rather than dragging suitcases all the way from the bus centre.
In daytime, plan from the museum on the park’s south side through the park grounds and the Atomic Bomb Dome, then on to Hondori and Fukuromachi for meals, which reduces back-and-forth across the city centre. Guests also often mention nearby restaurants and convenience stores, handy for picking up food before returning to the hotel.

One Night Leans on Location; Longer Stays Need a Harder Look at the Facilities’ Feel
For just one night, mainly visiting the park, the location can buy fewer transfers; for more nights, how handy the fridge, air conditioning, cleaning, and laundry are matters more. I would confirm my room type and longer-stay housekeeping arrangements first, and not let the window view hide everyday facilities.
This hotel suits people who put the park and city centre first and can accept a dated feel. If the hotel itself is meant to be the main part of the rest and enjoyment, I would put room condition ahead of the view.

How I Would Choose in the End
If the Peace Park and museum are the main itinerary and I can accept dated rooms, I would compare MYSTAYS. To see the park, choose a room name that explicitly lists the view; for space, look at the 22.2 sqm superior twin; the breakfast view is a plus, but allow lift-waiting time when rushing for transport. If you are particularly sensitive to facilities and cleanliness, put those two ahead of the window view.

Strengths and Trade-offs to Accept
Strengths I Value
- The riverside location suits Peace Park, museum, and Hondori itineraries.
- There are rooms with an explicitly listed park view to choose.
- Guests praise the high-floor breakfast’s taste and view.
Think Through Before Booking
- There are still recent reports of ageing facilities and cleanliness details.
- An 18 sqm twin is fairly tight for two large suitcases.
- Lifts may involve waiting at breakfast time.
- A plain standard room does not promise a park view.
