Fantastic 5.0
1. I stayed for two nights from April 25-27. Due to the view, I changed rooms on the second night, and the staff's arrangements were excellent, which made me very happy! 2. The hotel's location is superb, right above the Wakayama City tram station, so you arrive as soon as you get off the tram, which is exciting! 3. The hotel's design and scenery are beautiful, making it feel like great value for money. 4. The open-air hot spring is a unique feature! 5. The breakfast quality was good, and combined with the beautiful restaurant view, it was very satisfying!

It would be better if you're driving, as it's a bit far from Wakayama city center. Parking is 1000 yen per night with unlimited in-and-out access. The breakfast is delicious, and the rooms are spacious. Both the breakfast area and the rooms offer views of Wakayama Castle, and the showers are equipped with Refa showerheads.

Fantastic 5.0
The hotel's location is convenient, just a 5-minute walk from the station. Although the hotel seems a bit old, everything else is great. The public bath, though small, is very unique, and they offer free popsicles and Yakult. There's also complimentary late-night ramen at 9:30 PM. I would choose this hotel again on my next visit to Wakayama.

Fantastic 5.0
The hotel's location is very convenient, close to Wakayama JR Station and connected to Kintetsu Department Store. The bus terminal downstairs makes it easy to take a bus to Kuroshio Market or other attractions. Mr. Cao, the front desk receptionist, was very friendly. We paid extra for breakfast, and the only thing to mention is that the breakfast was just average, not particularly delicious.

A few mins walk away from the Wakayama JR station. The room is clean and spacious, and has all the necessities which is convenient for guest's stay. The breakfast buffet is delicious as well.

Great 4.0
The view of Wakayama Bay from the window is absolutely stunning! Plus, the hotel has many seats placed for enjoying the scenery, which is very convenient and relaxing. The restaurant food is also delicious. There's only one shuttle bus from the station per day, but if the timing doesn't work out, you can also take a 40-minute public bus to get there.

More about Wakayama hotels

Staying overview

Wakayama’s hotel prices are very compact: the gap between the most affordable and most premium options is minimal, so you won’t pay dramatically more to move up a tier. The best balance of price and value tends to sit with standard properties, which offer the most consistent mid-range option.

How the hotel classes compare and who they suit

Economy options sit at the base and will be the simplest choice for budget-conscious travellers, while standard rooms represent the best-value sweet spot for most visitors. Premium rooms are a small step up in price from standard — this is the most noticeable jump and the key decision point when choosing comfort over cost — and typically suit travellers wanting a little extra without a big premium. Luxury stays would be at the top end of the spectrum and are the choice for those prioritising higher-end comfort rather than savings.

When travellers from 香港 usually book

For travellers from Hong Kong, the priciest month is August and the cheapest month is September, so a budget-led trip works best in September when rates are lower. Rooms here are typically booked about a month in advance, with travellers often locking in their stay roughly 33 days ahead; if you prefer more certainty, earlier bookings around the early booking window are common.
