Daiwa Roynet Hotel Wakayama
9.5 (878 reviews)

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Wakayama ★★★★

📍 26-1 Shichibancho, Wakayama City

"Excellent location, right across from Wakayama Castle. You can even see the castle from the room. The room was spacious, very clean, and well-equipped. There's a supermarket downstairs, which is really convenient. And the steamed buns were delicious!"

The S3  Wakayama Eki
9.3 (146 reviews)

The S3 Wakayama Eki ★★

📍 Tomodachō, 5-chōme−18 Hotel Granvia Wakayama 6F, Wakayama City

"Cleanliness: Very clean, even cleaner than a five-star hotel in China. Service: The front desk staff was very helpful. Facilities: The capsule room is barely wide enough for a bed. The roll-up door doesn't provide soundproofing, so you can hear your neighbor snoring and unpacking their luggage. Light sleepers should consider this option."

Hotel Granvia Wakayama
9.4 (1,660 reviews)

Hotel Granvia Wakayama ★★★★

📍 Tomodacho 5-18, Wakayama City

"The location is super convenient, just a few minutes walk to the right after exiting the JR station. There's a really nice Chinese uncle at the front desk. The breakfast area was also very pleasant, though the variety of food wasn't huge."

Dormy Inn Premium Wakayama Natural Hot Spring

Dormy Inn Premium Wakayama Natural Hot Spring ★★★★

📍 〒640-8331 Wakayama, Misonocho, 3 Chome−36, Wakayama City

"The location is excellent, less than a 5-minute walk from Wakayama JR Station, with many restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Super convenient! The room is standard, but much more spacious than hotels in bigger cities. The late-night ramen is just a small bowl of soy sauce-based noodles, nothing special. However, what really impressed me was that you didn't need a voucher or room card to get it; you just queued up at the entrance on the first floor. Everyone waited quietly and orderly – very well-managed! The hot spring is also standard, but it's a great bonus for this type of business hotel."

Candeo Hotels Nankai Wakayama ★★★★

📍 Higashikuramaecho, 39, Wakayama City

"On my first day in Japan, I checked into this hotel, which is incredibly conveniently located right around the corner from the JR station exit. It was absolutely no hassle with luggage. The hotel room was clean and featured large floor-to-ceiling windows. Unfortunately, I arrived too late to experience the rooftop spa. Breakfast comes highly recommended, offering panoramic sea views through its three walls of floor-to-ceiling windows, and the food selection was abundant. From the JR platform, it's easy to transfer to services heading to attractions like the Cat Train line and Shirahama. The commercial complex on the hotel's second floor houses a food street and a local artisan market. Directly from the hotel's second floor, you can access the Wakayama City Library. If you have time, I highly recommend visiting it with children; it's spread over three floors, and my child was thrilled to discover original Detective Conan manga there."

Comfort Hotel Wakayama
9.3 (515 reviews)

Comfort Hotel Wakayama ★★★

📍 5 Chome-34番1号 Tomodacho, Wakayama City

"The hotel's location is fantastic! It's just a short walk right after exiting the JR station, or you can even cut through the Kintetsu department store to get there – super convenient for food and shopping. It offers great value for money, and it's also easy to get around from here; it's close to both bus stops and the JR station. We could take direct trains to the Tamaden train and Wakayama Castle. Plus, it's only about a 3-minute walk to Unagiya Hirokawa (Michelin-starred eel restaurant). I'd definitely stay here again next time I visit Wakayama!"

Smile Hotel Wakayama
8.3 (235 reviews)

Smile Hotel Wakayama ★★★

📍 18 Minamimigiwacho, Wakayama City

"I stayed for two consecutive nights. **Facilities:** It's a budget hotel, but the facilities are complete and well-equipped. There are several vending machines in the lobby. **Cleanliness:** Very clean. If you stay for two consecutive days, it seems they don't actively clean on the second day. **Service:** The front desk staff offered service with a smile."

Wakayama Kada Onsen Kada Kaigetsu
8.8 (157 reviews)

Wakayama Kada Onsen Kada Kaigetsu ★★★

📍 1905 Kada, Wakayama City

"1. Wakayama's autumn foliage season is definitely worth visiting. See the autumn leaves at Wakayama Castle, the Autumn Foliage Garden and Imperial Bridge, eat eel rice, and soak in Kata Onsen. 2. If you only have 2-3 hours to explore, go to Wakayama Station (JR, Nankai). From the station, walk 8 minutes to Kurofune Eel Rice (I ate a whole eel weighing a little over 1 jin for 3100 yen). 3. Then walk 50 meters to the Autumn Foliage Garden and Imperial Bridge, which is completely free. 4. Then navigate to the ruins of the main hall of Wakayama Castle and walk 15 minutes; this is probably the best spot for taking photos of the castle tower. 5. To get to Kata Onsen, take the Nankai Kata Line. Contact the hotel via the phone number on your Ctrip booking page to arrange pick-up at Kata Station. The staff speaks good English and the pick-up service is excellent. 6. Hotel highlights (excluding the open-air onsen): Local fish is cheap, and the breakfast and dinner for a two-night stay are all seafood, especially abundant and generous portions of sea fish. 7. There isn't a great beach, but a Japanese-style room with an ocean view is the best choice."

"Great experience! It should be family business and the service is very good! The boss prepared insecticide for us intimately, afraid that there were insects in the room, but the room was very clean and no insects were found. Breakfast and dinner are also very rich, very delicious 😋 The next night, we were about to have dinner, called and extended it to 7:30... Just arrived, the boss and aunt and grandmother came out to greet them, especially cute! Super happy! Very happy experience, will go again next time!"

Isaribi-no-Yado Seaside Kancho Hotels in Wakayama City

Isaribi-no-Yado Seaside Kancho

"The location cannot be changed. If it is not remote, there will be no such good scenery. . The hotel bus leaves at Wakayama Station at 3:30. I didn’t want to take a bus, but I wanted to take a taxi. . But according to the guidance of the tourist center, there are buses that run every hour. You can enjoy the scenery and arrive early. . When we arrived, we didn't have check-in. We had a welcome drink and played on the swing, so we checked into the room. . The scenery is beautiful, and I can try it out for an extra charge of 2,200 yen for one drink for two hours. . Great service, 2 drinks are worth it. . We drank and watched the sunset. The weather was nice and not too hot. . The sashimi dinner is delicious, and seasonal skinned abalone is also recommended. The skin is fresh and the abalone sashimi is tough. . It smells so good everywhere. . The price is worth it. So another day was completed."

Hotel Granvia Wakayama ★★★★
"There was a Chinese-speaking uncle at the front desk who gave me very detailed instructions via email on how to get to the hotel from the airport. He also recommended nearby attractions, which I really appreciated! I went on the Tama Densha train and also visited a huge Montbell store. I'll definitely come back to Wakayama!"

Dormy Inn Premium Wakayama Natural Hot Spring ★★★★
"The room was very spacious and had no strange smells. The hotel staff even helped move our stored luggage into the room and provided complimentary snacks and water, which was a very thoughtful touch! The TV showed the occupancy of various public areas, which was super considerate. The hot springs were also very comfortable, with good ambiance and cleanliness. After a dip, they offered popsicles, which was a nice treat. There were two large bookshelves nearby where you could pick out your favorite manga to read, and right outside was the massage chair area – absolutely perfect! In the evening, they offered free late-night noodles that were quite tasty, and there was a self-service drink bar. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of choices, and I even got to try local specialty sushi, which was a unique experience. There was an electronic scale at the stairwell for weighing luggage, which was very convenient. I'd love to visit again if I get the chance!"

Comfort Hotel Wakayama ★★★
"On my second night, I discovered the soundproofing was terrible. There was a bunch of 'monsters' in the room next door – it sounded like people from several rooms had gathered, chatting loudly, opening and closing doors constantly, and laughing and shouting hysterically. This went on for a long time. By past midnight, I couldn't take it anymore and went down to the front desk. I was worried there wouldn't be anyone at the front desk, but there were two gentlemen on duty. They told me a sports team had checked in that day and were probably just overexcited. I told them they either needed to talk to them or I'd have to change rooms. The front desk staff went up and knocked on their door, greeting the group (signaling me to go back to my room first). Not long after, the group finally dispersed. The hotel service was still very good. Running into those ******* was just bad luck for me. Next time I encounter a similar unexpected situation, I definitely shouldn't think, 'I'll just bear it, maybe they'll finish soon.' I should go down immediately and seek help from the front desk. I'm curious, which country do those selfish, loud people who disturb others in the middle of the night come from? The hotel breakfast is complimentary and included by default with the room booking. Although simple, it's completely filling. The restaurant is also open during the day for relaxation and offers free drinks."
