Kaita Chuo Hotel in Hiroshima

Normally, I don't write reviews, even if I have a few complaints, but I was a little surprised, so I decided to write one.

I've stayed in many cheap and old hotels, but I've never been told anything like that for no reason.

They lectured me about the hotel's convenience, saying that the hotel would be unmanned at 9 p.m. and that there would be no check-out in the morning, and that if I left without my key, I would have to pay the full night's fee, and they kept repeating this to me.

I'm sure they didn't want to be called in the middle of the night, but the way they said it was scary.

Given the price, I can tolerate the dated facilities and equipment, but the front desk's service was terrible.

I often stay in business hotels for work, but I won't be staying here again.

●The room is spacious, but the bathroom and toilet are artistically tiny. So the toilet paper is out of reach when you sit on the seat. (You'll probably get soaked if you take a shower.)
●I wasn't sure how long it would take for the shower to heat up (I turned on the hot water and waited about five minutes), so I just washed my hair. ●In the parking lot, there are traffic cones with Room XX, Mr./Ms. △ written in big letters on them.
*Additional note: The light in the bathroom didn't work, but I've stopped saying that.

This hotel has many points to be aware of. I highly recommend checking everything carefully beforehand.

I used this hotel for a business trip during a three-day weekend because I couldn't get a reservation at my usual hotel. While the fixed price for a long weekend was appreciated, the environment was perhaps commensurate with the price…
I took a taxi from the nearest station (about 750 yen) because my suitcase was heavy. There's a convenience store nearby.

The hotel is generally old and shows signs of age. The wallpaper is torn and a bit scary. The bed is wobbly. The refrigerator in the room is noisy. The shower temperature is inconsistent, alternating between hot and cold. The water doesn't stop completely. The drain is somewhat clogged. There's a slight odor. The TV seems to be from the analog era; the picture quality is poor, with slight distortions on the sides and distorted sound. There's no light switch by the bed. Payment is cash only. → I noticed a notice at the front desk, so I said, "Oh, it's cash only…" but I was scolded and treated like I couldn't pay, being told, "It's clearly written on the booking site!" Luckily I had cash… but please be careful.


The good points are: Wi-Fi is available, the hairdryer is new, there's a full-length mirror and a dressing table, and in the common area there's an electric kettle, refrigerator, paper cups, chopsticks, and cotton swabs.
