View of Castle
Amazing hotel with an even better view. I had a superb view of Wakayama’s castle straight from my hotel room. Of course the staff were nice and the room was clean and comfortable. The location is brilliant although it is about a 15-20 minute walk to one of the two close by train stations. I would strongly recommend this hotel for the view!

Classic Old-Style Hotel
Very Good Breakfast! The only drawback of this Property is that you cannot open the window in your room. It is also a bit dated.

8/10 Very good

Location it's about five bus stop Price is very good Breakfast with a view Wakayama Castle Breakfast is a must ¥900 very good price and with a killing view The hotel offers bicycle for free , but the problem is only for one hour You cannot get to anywhere within an hour so we did not use the service at all My suggestion most of the people will come and use the free bicycle only once even though they stay for many days why not let the hotel guest to use the service with combine hours Bus fare is quite expensive in Japan for the short distance right taking a taxi is lot better

2/10 Poor

本当は、禁煙ルームが希望でしたが、空きがなくて、仕方なく喫煙ルームを予約しました。 喫煙ルームだから仕方ないのかもしれませんが、シャワー室の中までタバコの臭いがキツくて眠れませんでした。ファブリーズを追加で自分達が購入して振りまくっても臭くて、マスクをしてねました。もう少し、お部屋の臭いを消して欲しいです。
