RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima
RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima stands near the Kamiya-cho transport and shopping hub, attractive for airport-bus arrivals and city strolls. Its higher-floor rooms and generous twins are appealing, though the building’s age and breakfast supplement are part of the decision.
Room comparison
Not every Standard Twin is the same: the listing includes 22, 24 and 26 m² variants, plus 34–35 m² twins on floors 14–25. The Standard Double is 31 m² with a queen bed; the Corner Suite is 65 m² on floors 30–31. I would choose by the precise room area, bed count and smoking status rather than just the word ‘standard’.
| Room type | Area and floor | Main difference |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Twin Variants | 22/24/26 m² | Twin beds; verify exact size and smoking category |
| Standard Double | 31 m² | One queen bed rather than twins |
| Larger Standard Twin | 34–35 m² · floors 14–25 | Larger twin; check non-smoking availability |
| Corner Suite | 65 m² · floors 30–31 | More living space |
Breakfast experience
The usual Japanese-Western buffet is listed 06:30–10:00, at an October 2026 reference price of ¥4,000 per adult. Some guests praise the range, while others consider the taste and value underwhelming; breakfast crowds also appear in reviews. Executive-floor breakfast benefits are separate from the main buffet and should not be counted twice.
Getting around
The hotel is at 6-78 Motomachi, near Hiroshima Bus Center and Kamiya-cho. Kencho-mae Station is about three minutes on foot and its East 1 exit has a street-level elevator. It works well for downtown shopping, but a traveler taking early shinkansen trains every day needs to allow for getting to Hiroshima Station.
One night or several
Some guests appreciate the beds, high-floor views and room space; others mention dated fixtures and bathrooms. Bottled water may be collected in the lobby rather than stocked in the room each day. For several nights, I would compare a 34–35 m² twin with a compact standard twin, balancing comfort against rate difference.
Advantages and trade-offs
- + Central bus and shopping connections
- + Twin categories up to 35 m² and 65 m² suite
- + Kencho-mae lift access
- – Older bathroom and room fittings
- – ¥4,000 breakfast is a meaningful extra
- – Transfers to JR Hiroshima Station
My decision
I would choose RIHGA Royal for Kamiya-cho and bus-center convenience, starting with the exact twin size. The breakfast and high-floor surcharge should earn their price in my itinerary.
