Second stay, as I moved to a non smoking room. The mattress in this room was spring and not as good as my other room but it was ok.
As I said in my other review, good products, good stay, it's not modern but it's comfortable. Very close to the station and food options within 5-10 minutes walk. Very helpful staff.
The room was clean and the facilities were complete. The front desk gentleman was warm and polite to take me to the room. The location was not far from Wakayama Jr. The downside was that there was no elevator and it was not suitable for girls with large luggage.
The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and approachable. They patiently guided us on all our queries and were always helpful whenever we needed assistance.
Our stay was lovely and pleasant, making the experience very comfortable overall.
The location is also very strategic — JF Katsuura Seafood is just a 2–3 minute walk away, which was very convenient for meals and exploring the area.
Overall, a great stay and we would happily recommend this hotel.
Great location which very close to train station, convenient for those who need an early morning train or ferry catching. we had a big tatami with shared bath room which is clean .
It's located near Wakayama Station, making it extremely accessible. Although it's a capsule hotel, the high ceilings and ease of changing clothes were great. It was clean and comfortable.
Encountered hot springs and water heaters broke
It was only in the afternoon that it was too late to change the hotel.
Although the hotel has arranged to go to another sister hotel to take a bath
But it's still not convenient,
Friends who do not wash public baths are good to boil water in the room to take a bath...
This hotel is conveniently located just minutes away from the Wakayama train station. It has very good value for money. We stayed in a japanese style room. It had everything we needed and it was also pretty clean. Overall, I would happily stay here once more, if I ever were to go to Wakayama again
I was getting a bit tired of the high prices of guesthouses in Kyoto, so I was thrilled to find such a comfortable bed in this tiny room, complete with a TV.
It's close to the station, making it easy to catch an early morning flight from Kansai Airport!
#Praise#For mosquito control measures, hotel smell, bedding comfort, location, toiletries, room lighting satisfaction; I like this hotel so much! It is also an ideal hotel! The so-called ideal is that every aspect is very practical! Although there is no breakfast, there is a refrigerator microwave in the room. It is very convenient to buy and eat at the nearby convenience store supermarket. The room is large and the bathroom is large, and the toiletries are complete to even the curling stick! The kettle said that the insulation can be kept warm for one night, not to mention that it is so cheap not far from the station! I will only live here on the West Line in the future. ps: This ideal hotel comes from a 40-generation hotel that has lived in various large and small Japanese hotels in a variety of sizes and sizes. Lightning avoidance and mentioning that this store has no elevator, large boxes of passengers should be cautious.
Arrive at JR Shirahama Station and then transfer to the taxi for about 4 minutes. It is very close to Toretore market and can be reached on foot. The rooms are panda-shaped and spacious inside. Dinner and breakfast are buffet style 
We stayed in this lovely family hotel for a night, we opted for room stay with dinner and breakfast. There's no shops or restaurant near by, so highly suggest to choose the stay with meals option, otherwise there's cooking facility within the room also, so I think it's possible to cook your own meal if necessary. Location - the hotel is just round the corner of the famous Shirasaki Ocean Park, we even had a good view of the park from our room. There's parking space right in front of the hotel building, so it's very handy. We cycled to the Shirasaki Ocean Park then to the hotel, so it worked out perfect. There's a very steep slop going up to the hotel though, but it wasn't an issue for us as we pushed out bikes up. Facilities - this is a family run hotel which believes was built a while ago, so can't compare it to all those new built hotels. The ”room” we stayed is more like a mini flat, it has a big kitchen, good sized bathroom with changing area, a separate toilet, a living room, bedroom and an extra ”sitting” area. The entire flat is in traditional Japanese style which we loved, and it has all facilities that made our stay comfortable. It also has coined washing machine and driers. We could even access to rooftop on the 4th floor to view the sunset. If you're looking for a quiet place to have quality time, then this is a good place to do so. There's also ”public bath” within the hotel, it's small but wasn't an issue for us. There's also shower and bath in the room also if you want some privacy. Food - all food was cooked and prepared by the hotel owner, and she's a talented chef! Dinner was impressive, breakfast was standard. The hotel owner is very friendly and lovely, it's definitely ”the place” to stay if you're visiting the area. We highly recommend it.
We stayed overnight at Saimonin, a Buddhist temple lodging, and it was a truly unique and memorable experience. The room was spacious and ryokan-style, with shared bathrooms and showers. Do note that the showers are only available from 5–9 pm. The corridors and rooms were quite cold, but turning the AC up to 30°C made the room warm and cosy—though the temperature difference between inside and outside was definitely noticeable. Dinner is served promptly at 6 pm: a beautifully prepared temple kaiseki-style vegetarian meal. We initially thought it might not be filling, but it was surprisingly plentiful. We ate seated on the floor in the main hall, each couple separated by a small divider and dressed in the provided yukatas, which added to the peaceful atmosphere. Breakfast is served at 7:30 am, right after attending the monks’ 7 am meditation session, which was fascinating to witness and added a strong spiritual element to the stay. There is a curfew at 9 pm, but we actually appreciated it—it encouraged us to slow down, unwind, and truly enjoy the tranquility of the temple environment. One thing that could be improved is access to hot water in the evening. We were given a thermos of hot water at check-in along with complimentary matcha tea bags and biscuits, which was lovely. However, by around 7–8 pm we would have liked to make more hot tea, but couldn’t find anyone around to ask. A simple hot water dispenser would make a big difference. The monks were very quiet, with minimal interaction, and there’s no communal space, so the experience is more individualistic than social. Overall, it’s a very different kind of stay and one we definitely recommend. It’s absolutely worth it for anyone seeking a serene and culturally rich experience.
Great place to stay. We liked the on-property Onsen, bakery, and common kitchen space. We did not have a dog but enjoyed that it was dog friendly. We took the short walk to the beach and visited restaurants, shops, and nature views on foot also. We took the bus to Adventure World and saw some great animal shows.
Public restrooms, public washes, and public hot springs are all kept super clean. Very good Japanese tatami experience. Facilities: 4 Hygiene: 5 Environment: 4 Services: 5
Facilities: It has breakfast, which is especially important for those hiking the Kumano Kodo. The earliest bus to Kumano Kodokan, the closest stop to the hotel, departs at 6:47 AM. Breakfast starts at 6:30 AM, so you can leave right after eating without any delay. Cleanliness: Clean and good! The shower facilities are clearly labeled with different types. Environment: The hotel rooms offer breathtaking views, especially while waiting for the elevator. It perfectly captures the feeling of framing a view, a style often associated with both Chinese and Japanese culture. Service: Excellent! Seriously, as you can see from the many pictures I've posted, it's truly exceptional. Coffee and tea are available on the first floor. I was so lucky to choose this hotel for my Kumano Kodo hike; it's close to a FamilyMart, across the railway is a Lawson, and next to Kiitanabe Station is a 7-Eleven.
The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and approachable. They patiently guided us on all our queries and were always helpful whenever we needed assistance. Our stay was lovely and pleasant, making the experience very comfortable overall. The location is also very strategic — JF Katsuura Seafood is just a 2–3 minute walk away, which was very convenient for meals and exploring the area. Overall, a great stay and we would happily recommend this hotel.
It's on the 6th floor of Hotel Granvia Wakayama, next to the train station. Very clean and well maintained. The room is bigger than traditional capsule. The bath room had a big bath tub. The public area has a microwave oven.
