Location was very convenient if you need to be near the train station. There's also a 7/11 round the corner. Beds were comfortable and the showers were great.

I have come for the 2nd time in this very nice and convenient hostel. Near the station, great beds, cheap place. Quiet as mostly Japanese guests.

“Convenient”
It's more a capsule hotel than a Guest house. Also, after checking out, it was not really convenient to leave and pick up back my luggage because there is not always staff at the reception.

Conveniently located near Wakayama station and shops, in a quiet street. The staff did not speak English but he was very polite and helpful

The location is great, less than five minutes to the train station. The staff was very kind and the room/capsule had everything I needed. Slippers and towels are provided. Will definitely book this place again!

“No problem. Clean place. Nice staff. My first bunk/capsule sleep experience...”
Very helpful staff. Easy to check-in and check-out. My first experience with "capsule" hotel. Capsule is closed with plywood doors so private is enough even you can here what is going outside.... Inside TV, sockets, headphones, enough place to sleep and put backpack inside. But not suitcase - it stays outside your bunk. It is super close to train station.
