This is a small Hotel with small rooms. It appears to be located away from the main attraction of the Peace Memorial Park, but is close in walking distance to the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art and the Carps Baseball stadium. We only stayed in Hiroshima for 1 night, so this hotel was sufficient. The Vessel Inn is non-descript but is located close to the Train Stops, so it was easy to get around the city to see the A-Bomb Dome and down to the island of Miyajima on our own. The local people were extraordinarily welcoming, and the Hiroshima Okonomiyaki lived up to its reputation, as there are a multitude of ways to prepare it, and there is a nice eatery close to the hotel.
