Each has positive and negative side depend on your condition; budget, health, with whom you travel and your hotel location. For budget consideration, bus is the best choice because the ticket prices is cheapest and bus stops in city downtown. For time consideration, high speed train is the best choice because you must not spend much time for checking and security process (like on airport) and easy for getting the location train station which is in city downtown. But for convenience consideration and long distance city (especially if you travel with child and elderly), I think traveling by plane is the best choice. It’s up to you depend on your condition.

There are plenty hotel you could choose depend on your criteria and of course your budget.
