What guests think

Across many reviews, Smile Hotel Wakayama is praised for its scenic location opposite Wakayama Castle and good value, with friendly staff and a well-liked breakfast, though the building and rooms feel dated and quality varies between rooms.

Several guests note recurring bathroom odors, mold, and poor ventilation, and some experienced noise from thin walls or other guests, as well as lingering smoke smells in smoking rooms. Facilities are basic: coin laundry exists but is hot and limited, and parking is available with restrictions and fees. Overall, expect a straightforward stay with significant room-to-room variability.
