If you’re weighing Hotel Intergate Hiroshima for a trip built around a show at Hiroshima Green Arena, the short version is this: it’s a genuinely walkable distance to the venue (about 10–15 minutes), combined with a free evening lounge and an in-house bath — a combination you don’t usually find this close to a venue. It’s also the only hotel on our hub list that specifically offers tattoo cover seals at the front desk rather than an outright ban. The trade-offs are a bath that can feel small and crowded at peak hours, and a breakfast room that gets busy enough that some dishes have arrived lukewarm. This review works through all of it plainly, using the hub comparison’s research alongside guest review patterns from Rakuten Travel, one-kyu.com, and Yahoo! Travel.

- An in-house bath for guests who want to soak after the show
Location and actual walking difficulty
Hotel Intergate Hiroshima is about a 3-minute walk from the Hacchobori tram stop, and roughly 10–15 minutes on foot from Hiroshima Green Arena itself — one of only two hotels on our hub list that’s genuinely walkable rather than requiring a tram or train transfer. One reviewer specifically confirmed using the hotel for a Green Arena show and finding it walkable with breakfast included at a reasonable price.
Room size and luggage space
Rooms run 18–44 m² (194–474 sq ft), a comfortable mid-range on our hub list. The Simmons-brand beds were specifically praised by reviewers, and room sizes at the upper end give real space for group travel or extra gear.
Bed size and comfort for tall travelers
The “INTERGATE King” room (20 m²) has a confirmed 1,800×2,000mm king bed — the only true Western king bed we could confirm across all ten hotels in our Xebio Arena Sendai and Hiroshima Green Arena hub comparisons. If a king bed matters to your trip, this is the room type to book specifically.
Bathroom and room facilities
We did not find detailed official specifications for the standard in-room bathroom setup beyond the confirmed bed and room sizes above. The hotel’s in-house communal bath, detailed below, is a separate facility from the in-room bathroom.
English support
We were not able to confirm the level of English support at this property from official sources or guest reviews.
Breakfast and dietary options
Breakfast is a buffet that scores a solid 4.46, but reviewers noted it can get crowded, with one guest reporting some dishes arriving lukewarm during busy periods. Aim for right when breakfast opens (around 7am) or near the end of service to avoid the rush. We did not confirm vegetarian or halal options. The lounge’s evening snack service (including a late-night ochazuke) is also worth using if you’d rather eat lighter before a late show.
Airport access
Hiroshima Airport to Hiroshima Station is about 45 minutes by limousine bus. From there, this hotel is a further ~3-minute walk from the Hacchobori tram stop.
Tattoo and public bath policy
This is the one hotel on our hub list with a genuinely flexible tattoo policy: the official bath page states tattoos are generally not permitted, but cover seals (about 10×15cm, up to 2 per guest) are available at the front desk for guests who can hide theirs. Contact the hotel in advance to confirm size limits and current availability. Bath hours are 6:00–10:00am and 3:00pm–1:00am.
Luggage storage and delivery
Pre- and post-checkout luggage storage is confirmed on the official site, useful if you want to explore or head to the arena before your room is ready.
Laundry
Coin laundry is confirmed on-site, a genuine plus for longer stays. One reviewer did note the dryer can be busy after 9pm, with a wait for a turn.
Common complaints from previous guests
No hotel is complaint-free, and Hotel Intergate Hiroshima is no exception. Here’s what came up in guest reviews, alongside a practical way to work around each one.
The quotes below are a summary of review trends and may not reflect the current situation.
“I used this hotel for a Green Arena show. It’s walkable, and I found it in a good price range with breakfast included.” / “The lounge service was wonderful — I really enjoyed the happy hour starting at 5pm.”
- Guests reported the bath feeling small for the number of people trying to use it, especially around peak hours.
- The 8–10pm window right after most shows end is when the bath is busiest. Try going right after you check in, or wait until after 10pm or the next morning instead.
- One reviewer noted breakfast getting crowded, with some dishes arriving lukewarm.
- Aim for right when breakfast opens (around 7am) or near the end of service to avoid the rush. The lounge’s evening snack service is also worth using if you’d rather eat lighter before a late show.
- If you have a visible tattoo: the hotel’s own official bath page states tattoos are generally not permitted at the communal bath.
- Unlike several other hotels on our hub list, this one’s official page specifically mentions cover seals (about 10×15cm, up to 2) available at the front desk for tattoos small enough to hide. Contact the hotel in advance to confirm size limits and current availability.
What the booking sites do not clearly explain
Booking sites highlight the free lounge and in-house bath as headline amenities, but the tattoo cover-seal policy — a genuine plus compared to most hotels on this list — usually isn’t surfaced clearly at the point of booking. It’s also worth knowing that both the bath and breakfast can get crowded specifically in the hour or two after a nearby show ends, timing that a standard listing wouldn’t flag.
Who should avoid this hotel
- Guests who want to bathe without any crowding — the in-house bath has been reported as small for the number of people using it during peak hours
- Travelers who want a quiet, unhurried breakfast — some guests reported crowding and lukewarm dishes at peak times
- Anyone who needs to be within 5 minutes’ walk of the arena — this is about 10–15 minutes on foot
- Guests needing coin laundry late in the evening, since the dryer has been reported as busy after 9pm
