The hype
Travelers love the modern design and rooftop views, but often mention the rooms are tight for two people with big luggage.
The Knot Hiroshima
$100-160/ nacht
Boek dit als You want a hip, social boutique hotel with a killer rooftop bar that feels more like Brooklyn than traditional Japan.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The 'KNOT Coins' system that turns check-in into a free drink or snack at the rooftop bar
- Incredible location just steps from Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome
- The 'MORETHAN' bakery and restaurant serves surprisingly excellent Italian food and breakfast
Snel Overzicht: It’s a vibe-first hotel where the lobby is a 14th-floor party, so don't expect a quiet, traditional Japanese bow-and-scrape welcome.
Beoordeeld door @travelergweneats: I can't recommend this place enough—easily my favorite stay in Japan. The design is beautiful, and the token system for snacks is such a fun perk. It feels luxurious but costs way less than Tokyo. You have to go!

Reality check
The 'city view' from lower floors is often just a view of the tram line or the building next door.
- You appreciate a good cocktail and a lively atmosphere right in your hotel
- You want to be within 5 minutes walking distance of the main historical sites
- You prefer a modern, Ace Hotel-style aesthetic over tatami mats
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
9.2
- Housekeeping: Daily cleaning is thorough; reviews consistently praise the 'sparkling' condition.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are typical Japanese unit baths (plastic-y) but are kept mold-free and spotless.
- Maintenance: The hotel was refurbished in 2020, so fixtures, carpets, and paint are still fresh and modern.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and replaced daily. Pajamas are provided and laundered well.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh coffee and subtle fragrance; no musty or smoke smells in non-smoking rooms.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is there a gym?
No, there is no fitness center on site. Runners head to Peace Memorial Park nearby.
How do the KNOT Coins work?
You receive a few coins as a welcome gift. You can trade them for sweets, snacks, or put them towards drinks at the rooftop bar. You can also buy more.
Is breakfast included?
Not usually in the base rate. It's served at MORETHAN (1F) and costs around ¥2,980. It's a high-quality Western buffet with fresh focaccia.
Can I store luggage?
Yes, the front desk (14F) will hold bags before check-in and after check-out.
Is there parking?
Yes, a mechanical tower garage for ¥3,000/night. It has size limits (height/width), so large SUVs might not fit. First-come, first-served.
Is it kid-friendly?
Moderately. Kids stay free if sharing beds (up to age 12), but the vibe is definitely more 'adult cocktail hour' than 'playroom'.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The 'KNOT Hour' (Happy Hour) isn't just for drinks; the coins can buy some surprisingly good little tapas plates.
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast one day and grab a 'morning set' at a local kissaten (coffee shop) for a fraction of the price.
- ✨
The coin laundry is on the 2nd floor and has a microwave—clutch for heating up 7-Eleven late-night snacks.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The elevators can be slow during check-out time because everyone has to go UP to the lobby to leave.
💡The 'Standard Queen' room is really just a double bed; don't expect a US-sized Queen.
💡You can see the Atomic Bomb Dome from the rooftop terrace—it's a hauntingly beautiful view at night.
💡The pajamas provided are actually comfortable separates, not the stiff yukata robes found in older hotels.
💡There is a smoking room on the 14th floor, so you don't have to go all the way to the street.
