Hi

Taxi was y 1470 from hiroshima station.traffic was a little tailbacks heading to the station at 1615



Check in was quick and given 2211( room facing east towards hijiyama Park and is a good size.
suitcase from nagasaki sent yesterday was in the room.
lounge evening hours are 1700 to 1900 but this weekend there are 2 sessions and have to reserve a time ( have chosen the later slot of 1845 to 2000 for Sat and Sun
lounge was busy but got a counter seat at 1730
Items included chicken soup with pieces of chicken., bread truffle flavoured fries, beef canapes etc two types of small cube cakes.as well as candy in jars
prosecco was good.
lounge open till 2100 so after a walk at dusk to the peace park it was nice to grab a quick soft drink/juice /coffee at 2040 before closing
unlike nagasaki the diamond 25% discount does not apply to take away cakes from the lobby lounge but on the other hand it is valid during golden week
welcome gift is handed out at reception rather than in the room
Zatta lounge was busy and had live music ( last orders at 2330 for 2400 closing) jw blue was y 4000 ( y3500at hilton nagasaki) but y3000 with the diamond discount.they had a three type of sake tasting menu for y 2500
gym was good and will try the pool tomorrow
Breakfast in the lounge this weekend is 0700 to 1100 (1030 other days) and in mozaik from 0630 to 1030 this weekend (1000weekdays)
Breakfast in mozaik was busy this morning but no wait. Special diamond/Gold options were mango juice or a Berry smoothie.
bIt of a queue for the omelette station so i had the okonomiyaki in the lounge ( lounge a lot quieter than restaurant)
