The room was very big and clean and the amenities were good. The Valentine's Day chocolate was a thoughtful little surprise. The staff is very helpful and friendly. They know Hiroshima well and can offer advice or brochures with information to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. I ended up not going, but the complimentary sake tasting event must be a great experience too. You can also pay extra for a koto lesson right at the hotel. It cost me 9900 JPY and it was a 1 on 1 lesson. By the end of the lesson I learned how to play the famous song "Sakura" on koto. The location of the hotel is great. It's a 10 minute walk from Hiroshima station and there's a conbini at 10 minutes walking distance too. I didn't rent one but it seems the hotel offers bicycles for the day at a reasonable price.

It takes maybe 10-20 seconds for the water to heat up, but that didn't bother me at all. Once it heats up it stays like that while you're using it. I wear EU size 45 (US 11) shoes and the provided slippers were too little, but that is applicable to all hotels I stayed at in Japan.

Beautiful rooms and a cool vibe. This place is a 15 min walk from the station and is in a residential neighborhood. This does mean you are a little far from places you might want to go to as a tourist, but the public transportation system in Hiroshima is pretty great. The hotel has everything you will need, but some things (body lotion, robes, iron, etc) need to be "rented" (but it's free). Our room had an emergency exit which meant that there was only room for one chair in the balcony, which was disappointing. It would have been nice if they could have accommodated two smaller chairs as it defeats the socializing purpose of the balcony if only one guest can be there at a time. The in-room coffee provided was of excellent quality, and the staff were very helpful in coordinating with the luggage delivery service.

A really warm welcoming group of staff. The extra details and considerations made this such a lovely stay - the complimentary sake tasting, help yourself tea, yoga mats available, paper to fold your own peace crane to donate to the city (Thank you Coco for helping us fold ours). The location is in a quieter part of the city but a 10min walk from the station and 20min walk to the peace park and museums. The Tatami room was spacious, comfortable and with Japanese charm. The breakfast is worth it!!! Delicious bagels with fresh local produce (honey/jam, cream cheese).

Our first night due to availability we stayed in the Twin room and we did not enjoy this space as much. it felt quite stuffy and without the japanese style beds.

The room was spacious and had an excellent bathroom. The staff were very helpful, and the free Saki tasting was done extremely well. We also like the water dispenser in the lobby – nice to see a hotel avoiding yet more plastic bottles of water.

The breakfast was poor - a bagel with a bit of cream cheese & jam, a pack of dried soup and a carton of fruit juice - Booking.Com describes it as Fabulous, but it really is not. It is a cheap addition to the room rate so it may suit you, but do not be misled by Booking.com's description. We found the bed to be too soft.

The rooms are MASSIVE. I was completely shocked. The lobby is small and perhaps persons dont like it but I personally prefer places that have better rooms than lobbies over places with really gorgeous lobbies and not as great rooms. While there aren't necessarily any facilities on the property, except for the small lobby, the rooms make up for it twice fold. There was a living room, bedroom and the bathroom was huge. The shower was fantastic and has the feature for drying your clothes if needed. There's a sink in the bathroom and then an entire station with a sink in the living room. All in all, I'll be picking this location every time I come to Hiroshima. The location is perfect. 10 minute walk from Hiroshima station where the Shinkansen arrives and about the same walk to multiple bus stations around. There's a cafe called Sakurano Cafe right down the street and the old couple who run it are so welcoming. The old lady is the sweetest person in the world. Absolutely amazing stay and the staff is so nice!

I honestly don't have anything I didn't like. Like I said, the lobby is small and there aren't many facilities on the property and some persons may not like that. I personally didn't mind it especially given the size of the rooms.

Everything! We had a tatami suite double room with balcony, which had lots of space and a view of the river, and we would keep going to the balcony just to take in the sunrise, sunset, the fish and the birds. The room was clean and comfortable, had tea (get your refill bags from the lounge area) and coffee and if you just need to wash a few items, the shower room has a drying fan which was super useful. The staff were warm and friendly and replied promptly to my messages prior to our arrival. They gave us recommendations, helped make a restaurant reservation, and called a taxi for us. The sake tasting session was a bonus! The hotel location is quite tranquil, and a few minutes' walk will bring you to a tram stop and beyond that, it's a few more minutes to Hiroshima Station.

I had a great time at the Lazuli. The room was very spacious and modern compared to all other hotel rooms I stayed in. As everywhere in Japan the staff was very friendly and made me feel right at home. The hotel is in a quite street about ten minutes away by foot from the main station. The upside was that I had a good nights sleep without any noise, but it also meant that there are no shops close by. There is a 7-Eleven about 5 minutes away, which was fine for me. On my way back to the hotel I just bought what I needed. In the morning I got a tasty breakfast in the lobby that I enjoyed on the balcony; a welcome change from the buffets in the other hotels. I also really appreciated the speciality instant coffee in the room.

We booked the executive twin and the amount of space was luxurious. Everything in this small boutique hotel is new and clean as well. The staff are so sweet, friendly and helpful. It’s about a 10 minute walk to Hiroshima station which was quite convenient

Though close to Hiroshima station (10 min walk), it is not that central to the main city sites, though also not that far. We took a street car to go out for dinner which was a short and easy ride, and also took a taxi one night which was quick and not to expensive

The aesthetics of this place are top notch, it’s a smaller hotel but the rooms are very spacious and the design touches throughout the building give a really nice experience. All the staff I interacted with were super friendly and helpful, some of the best I’ve had in Japan so far. Breakfast was on the smaller side but beautifully presented as well as being high quality and locally sourced. It is located on a quieter street away from the main urban hustle and bustle but the main station is easily accessible and Hiroshima is a highly walkable city.

Nothing, I wish I’d have given another day for Hiroshima to stay another night here.

Everything here is well set up and done with local flair. It takes all the best things about a backpacker lodge (the community, the helpfulness, the guest photos) and places fancies them up with some luxurious rooms. Definitely get the breakfast pack with the local baked goods and granola. It's all basketed up so you can pick it up and enjoy it in your room.

It's not in the buzziest part of town but the walk is pleasant and only about 15 minutes from the station.
