머큐어 도큐 스테이 히로시마 후기
히로시마에서 마지막 날 1박 묵었습니다 올해 오픈한 호텔이라서 그런지 청결은 말도못하게 깨끗했고 직원분들도 엄청 친절하셨어요(영어 잘하십니다) 체크인 시 웰컴드링크도 인당 한개씩 가져가라고 하셔서 맛있게 잘먹었습니다 헬스장(런닝머신 1개 사이클 1개)이랑 정수기 2층에 있고 1층에 쉐어라운지 있어요 쉐어라운지 이용은 못해봤지만 오전 10시부터 오후 10시까지 투숙객은 무료로 이용가능해요 방 안에 세탁기+건조기 있고 세제도 있어요 그리고 드라이기 엄청 좋은 드라이기입니다 짱짱 주변분들 중 히로시마 간다하는 분 있으면 이 호텔 추천합니다😆👍
최고의 선택!

가성비 최고! 나만 알고 싶은 숙소
5.1~5.4 성인2명 45만(조식 포함)에 잘 쉬었어요. 이 시기가 일본에서도 GW(골든위크)라고 5.2~5.5까지 쭉 공휴일이라서 평소보다 숙박비가 오르긴했지만 이 가격이면 무난한거라네요~ 일본 숙소 특성상 작은걸 알기에 기대는 안했는데 정말 너무너무 좋았던 곳이에요! 직원들 영어 가능하고 2층에 대욕장(크진 않지만 있을건 다있음) 있어서 객실내 화장실 이용안했어요ㅋㅋㅋ 특히 원래 아침 안먹는데 여기 조식이 진짜 너무x100 맛있어서 매일 챙겨먹었어요!!! 평화공원, 버스센터, 혼도리, 핫초보리 모두 도보로 가능하고 비오는 날에는 우산도 빌려줍니다. 다음에 또 히로시마를 온다면 무조건 여기입니다!
