This is very convenient for the peace park (a must), so if, like us, you're only in Hiroshima for a quick visit, it is definitely worth staying there. Unfortunately on the night we were there, the restaurant wasn't open, but we found a noodle bar opposite, which was very good.

This is supposed to be an affordable hostel type of accommodation but, as mentioned by others, this is actually more like a hotel. It is well located within walking distance to the Peace Memorial Park and the staff are very helpful and friendly. We stayed in a Japanese style family room which was spacious but I did find the mattress... More

We only spent one night in Hiroshima. Got to the train station early and took the 25 minute bus ride to the Aster Plaza. We left our bags with the helpful staff, went for a wander and checked in around 6pm. The rooms are huge for Japan, clean but a little dated. It's definitely not a hostel but the rates... More

Stayed there for one night during my 2-week trip of Japan. I decided on this place based on the positive reviews on Tripadvisor and I was very very happy with my choice! Location wise it is perfect - only minutes away (by foot) from the Peace park and museum. The centre of town or JR train station are only a... More

We had a great time at the Aster Plaza. This is supposed to be a Hostel-type accommodation but really, it's much much more. We booked a Japanese style room and it was amazing. Big, bright, quiet and super-clean, with all the amenities you could wish for and even more. Very friendly and attentive staff. The Hiroshima Memorial and Peace Park... More

The Aster Plaza is not really a Hotel, nor is it a Hostel. It appears to be a function centre, that has accommodation on the upper few floors. Its in a great location for visiting the Peace Park and Museum. Approx a 5min walk straight up the street. WE arrived by bullet train. The easiest way to the Aster Plaza... More

The accommodations at Aster Plaza were clean and excellent value. We stayed in the Japanese style rooms (2) with our teenage children and enjoyed our stay. This is basic, clean lodging provided by friendly and knowledgeable staff. We used the laundry facilities which were a welcome addition to our stay. The fridge in the room was useful. I would not...

I stayed at this hotel because it was recommended as a good, clean, inexpensive option and close to the Peace Memorial Park. My teenage son and I booked a single room each, with a private bathroom for only 3,750 yen. I was a bit hesitant, as we had stayed at some very nice, more expensive hotels in Japan, but was... More
