Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel had its ups and downs. The room, though a bit small, had a comfy bed and a big TV available for movie rentals around the clock for ¥1000. It was clean, but I couldn't escape the constant noise from other rooms which was a bit bothersome. The service was a mix of extremely friendly staff who took great care of guests and some instances of rushed and not so great service. The location was a bit inconvenient, requiring a 25-minute walk to reach either the JR or Nankai Wakayama stations. On the bright side, the dining experience was excellent, especially the breakfast offerings. Overall, some aspects were enjoyable while others fell short.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was good, not too far from the station, but the rooms had a strange odor of cigarettes despite being labeled as non-smoking. The service, however, was top-notch with friendly staff taking great care of all customers.

The hotel was not prepared for two persons as the room felt like a sauna even with the AC on, and there were signs of dirt and mold on the walls. However, the location is close to Wakayama Castle and train station, which is convenient. The service rendered was extremely unhelpful, but the dining experience before touching the tongs at the buffet breakfast was excellent. Overall, a bit of a letdown for the price paid.
