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.

Lianne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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

景色非常棒

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。
