Very convenient location right next to JR Wakayama station. Can catch city bus and taxi right outside of hotel. Clean room and comfortable bed. Smaller than American chain hotel rooms but comparable to a veranda cruise ship cabin without the veranda. Electric kettle, bottled water and tea provided. Hotel has system for room cleaning in which you choose how often cleaning is done. Located next to department store with food, beverage and grocery options. Also many delicious local restaurants are within walking distance.

Hiroko and Kazu (the owners) are amazing people that were very kind and ready to help. Hiroko even picked me up from the train station! They offered a lot of very helpful information for my stay at Wakayama. I'm very happy to have followed their advice as that made my visit a wonderful one! They speak English, French, and Japanse! Would definitely stay again and would very much recommend staying at this hostel!

Great location! Less than 10min walk from the wakayama station (all flat roads, no hills). The onsen was great and you also get some random freebies (free coffee in the afternoon, free popsicles, free ramen at night, etc.). Room is not big but that's normal for Japanese hotels, we did not spend a whole lot of time inside the room so it didn't matter too much anyways. Would recommend this place.

Staff is welcoming and helpful, and the shared bathroom is very clean, the dorm has 5 toilets and normally no need to wait. Even there’s no staff from 9am - 5pm, you can store the luggage on the 1st floor at Hotel Granvia with 24h front desk. The property is with high value, and the location is just near the Wakayama JR station, and the door is connected with Kintetsu store.

The location is perfect; it is only a 5 minute walk to the Kii Tanabe station where you would have access to all kinds of transportation. The guesthouse is actually a traditional Japanese residence which has a very authentic feel. The host is kind and multilingual. It is an excellent base to explore the southern part of Wakayama Prefecture.

The hotel was very close to the Wakayama train station. The check-in counter was on the ground floor which was very convenient. The lobby was spacious and grand. The hotel provided a complimentary Japanese newspaper. There were many choices, Japanese curry rice and Western style bread and butter, at the buffet style breakfast.

Our favourite guesthouse on our entire trip to Japan. Loved the building and the decor, very big and well equipped room and a roof terrace to enjoy too. The communal areas looked great and were so nice to hang out in. The staff here are all really lovely and so welcoming! We loved this place and Wakayama city so much ❤️

Lovely to stay and enjoy the delicious food and tranquility. I only wish we had stayed longer. Very interesting to hear Giovanni's story of developing the accommodation and preserving Japanese culture in Wakayama. Comfortable bed and space. We were nice and warm despite the freezing temperatures outside!

Very convenient — in the heart of wakayama so the bus stop for both the wakayama jr Shinkansen and the elective station wakayamashi (has a Starbucks and library in it) and close to wakayama castle Loves the easy location. Good size clean rooms and plenty of help from staff.

This was a little gem of a place close to Wakayama JR station. The staff were exceptionally friendly and the hotel has a "coffee lounge" on the ground floor with a library feel to it, a nice touch. It was great value for money . Highly recommended.

A few stops by taking buses to the hotel, it's actually a walking distance for me if weather not hot and without luggage. Great location near Wakayama castle with castle night view. Warm and polite staff, spacious washroom, clean and quiet.

The location was great and the room and services were fantastic. The location was great and wakayamas transportation system makes it very easy to get around by bus. The staff was upset helpful and the common room was very nice as well

This apartment was amazing value for money! I only stayed a couple days, but it would be a great place to use as a base for exploring Wakayama. The apartment was clean and nicely decorated, and the kitchen was well equipped.

Best option to save money on a short trip to Wakayama. I know this is a short stay hotel and many times used as hotel for adults and couples, but all was clean and neat. Staff was really polite too. Can't complain!

Not expensive, about 50$ for a night, close to wakayama station, breakfast included. Spatious room overall when compared to other hotels in japan. Staff very nice and private. Lots of amenities available.

A magical place - we got the Japanese room with a river view and it was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Wakayama. The onsen was also a highlight as well as nearby hikes.

The hosts were fantastic and made us feel at home. The hostel is close to Wakayama Castle and a short bus ride to to both train stations.

The location is great next to Wakayama Shi station, shopping mall and municipal library. The room is comfortable .

Typical Smile Hotel with efficient service and a great window view of Wakayama Castle.

I really like this hotel, the staff is very warm, helped us to sign for luggage in advance, reply email very timely, the hotel is so big, just like a playground, really like!
