Great views of Wakayama castle. Especially at night. Staff was outgoing. Close to train station.
Myles, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Great place to stay for good price. Very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel actually provides you an actual key attached to a long plastic stick. No magnetic key. The hotel ONLY clean your room ONCE every THREE DAYS to save costs. The laundry room is the very top floor and is ALWAYS hot.

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.

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

とても快適に過ごせた。朝食も美味しい。
MASASHI, 8-night trip

10/10 Excellent

朝食も充実してて快適。 ただ、長期滞在なので洗濯機が少なくてなかなか空いていないのが残念。
MASASHI, 6-night trip

6/10 Okay

嫁とツインで素泊まり2泊しました。立地は良いと思います。朝食バイキングは分かりませんが、朝８時から近くのロイヤルホスト歩いて5分以内のところにあり、食べました。部屋は、普通だと思う。空気清浄機はありました。ただ、エアコンの吹き出し口が、汚くてきになり、フィルター見ると埃が溜まっていたのでフロントで掃除を頼んだところ、心良い返事でした。が、帰宅したら、何故か机の上に白いホテルのスリッパの片方と汚れた物がありました。最悪の事を考え、チェックアウト時にフロントにいって出て行きました。1泊1室10,000少しといえど私にとっては不快でした。 車は、夜11時までに入らないと指定駐車場に入れず、さらに朝まで出し入れ不可、車高は、確か180cm以下の車しか入れません。一泊1000円。それ以外は、タイムズなど近くに駐車場、一泊880円だったかな。 立地は、問題なし、お城側が良いかな。

如果是朝向和歌山城方向的房间，那景色非常令人难忘。收费的早餐很丰富，口味制作的非常细致，有当地特色的调料。餐厅在9层也是朝向和歌山城的方向。
