The breakfast was lovely - both the quality of the food and the dining area (on the top floor, with beautiful view). The room was nice, and the staff was helpful.

“Fantastic”
Everything was fantastic. Staff were super helpful and always polite and welcoming. The room was lovely and the housekeeping were on top of everything. Fantastic location, right in the heart of Wakayama, surrounded by little shopping streets ranging from sole owners to a large boutique mall. Plenty of food and convenience stores and a ten minute walk from Wakayama Castle. Easy access to public transport, bus stop outside the hotel which goes to the JR trains and one on the opposite side of the road that goes to the Nankai line. Our daughter is studying at Wakayama university (reason for our visit) and there is a bus stop at the castle that went straight to her accomodation.

“Wakayama has a lot to offer”
Cheap accom 15 minutes from Wakayamashi Station in the quieter part of town. All the APA standards are met. There are some interesting small bars and restaurants nearby, and a supermarket across the road. Don Quijote and a few Konbini are within a short walk, too. I loved walking through the almost abandoned malls around this hotel and checking out the places that had popped up or survived. You can also walk to Wakayama Castle from the hotel - It's beautiful at night.
