Great place to stay for good price. Very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel actually provides you an actual key attached to a long plastic stick. No magnetic key. The hotel ONLY clean your room ONCE every THREE DAYS to save costs. The laundry room is the very top floor and is ALWAYS hot.

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!
