The Hotel Granvia Hiroshima is not a cool hotel — the lobby looks like it should be filled with fussy grandmothers who insist you use a coaster — but it IS located within steps of the Hiroshima train station, which is a treat when — for example — you've landed in Japan about 24 hours earlier, have arrived (by bullet train) from Tokyo, and may not have what it takes to wheel (or lug) your suitcase much further than that. This is all about location.
