I spent 3 nights in the Area One Hotel while visiting friends in Fukuyama and was quite impressed for the price I paid and previous experiences of Japanese business hotels. I had booked an 'outlet room' for the first 2 nights of my stay and a regular priced room for the last night, assuming that the outlet price was a promotional price and not a different room. Upon arrival however, I was told that I would have to change rooms for my last night. It was all made easy for me by the staff though and I just went out leaving my packed suitcase at reception and came back to find my things had been taken to my new room. There was absolutely no difference between the rooms other than the floor! The outlet room was the only room on the ground floor, but despite what other reviewers have said about this room, I found it to be just as quiet as the room on a higher floor. Breakfast was good with a nice selection of breads and croissants in addition to Japanese breakfast dishes and the vending machine gave free hot and cold drinks during breakfast time. The hotel is in a good central location a few minutes walk from the railway station. It is clean and well maintained and the staff are helpful and friendly despite speaking very little English (common throughout Fukuyama). There is also free wifi throughout the hotel.

I stayed here for 3 nights because I can't get any booking in Hiroshima City, all hotels there were fully book during my visit. I was satisfied with my stay considering the room rate is at the low end of the range. Free breakfast would have been very good if there is hot coffee or tea. You need to prepare some coins for your coffee or tea as they are in a vending machine. The staff can't speak English very well, but they are very helpful and will try to answer your every needs.

“Clean, convenient but room too small”

I know hotel rooms are small in Japan but there has to be a limit and this hotel crosses that limit. The "double room" would be okay for one person but the bed is just too small for two. Perhaps AreaOne refers to a one square metre bed? Bathroom is quite ok and staff are their usual polite and help… lisää

Perhaps AreaOne refers to a one square metre bed? Bathroom is quite ok and staff are their usual polite and helpful self. Location is nice and close to the station and relativity quiet.
