Hotel Dengan Parking di Wakayama Prefecture, Japan

Highly recommend this great hotel!!! Clean, big room, super nice view (wakayama castle right outside the window), very convenient location with ¥1000 parking (24 hrs) right opposite the hotel. Breakfast was superb and would definitely choose Daiwa Roynet Hotels in next visits to Japan.

This is a very nice ryokan that you feel relax and clean. ● The hotel offers two types of yukata, and for one of them, you can choose your preferred pattern. ● The hotel provides complimentary limited-time plum juice, snacks, and ramen. ● The hotel offers two types of private onsen services for free. There isn't much difference between them, just the size and shape of the tubs. Each session is 40 minutes, and you can book multiple times on a first-come, first-served basis. ● Besides the private onsens, the hotel also has mixed-gender onsens (with provided bathing attire), a men's onsen, and a women's onsen. ● Kaiseiki meals normal only.

location very good just beside the wakayama station , just a mins walk....the hotel is link with the shopping mall...staff very friendly can speak chineses very well...i reach the hotel around 12.30 noon they so good can give me check in early and get the room....excellent hotel....will stay again if i in wakayama...in 7th is have a roof top

The location is pefect, only 2mins walking to a Shopping Complex, where you can buy cheaper food in the food street. Basically we are going thru the Shopping Complex from the hotel to train/ bus station, a lil bit confused in the first place, but get used to it after few attempts. We couldnt buy the ticket for the movies in the TV from the ticket machine, and the Netflix is not allowable in the room, so we end up watching the Japanese shows without subtitle. The complementary breakfast is average, its convenient for you, but do not expect it to be a very satisfying one.

Tbh great location in terms of vicinity to the beach but the cleanliness was a bit disappointing. When we first arrived in our room, the table area was sandy, not dusty, but actually sandy. The tatami beds were already made, but the surrounding area was dusty. When I asked about it, the staff told me it was “normal for tatami.” If this had been my first time staying in a tatami room hotel, I might have believed that. The hair dryer had visible mold inside (as shown in photos).  If this is simply because the hotel is old, then I suppose that explains it..

The hotel was really nice. The front desk staff were very friendly and confident, and check-in was very easy. The room wasn’t very big, but it was very clean, and a lot of small details made it feel really thoughtful. I’d definitely come back here again. Wakayama is really beautiful.

The hotel is situated at a secluded corner of Wakayama prefecture. It is much preferable to drive here rather than relying on the infrequent hotel shuttle. Public transport is otherwise non existent. There are no restaurants around the hotel. However the hotel provides delicious meals with abundant fresh seafood. The in room dining experience is superb. The hotel staff service is impeccable. The room has a spectacular sea view allowing you to see the sunset on clear days. The onsen also faces the sea which provides a relaxing experience. A downside is that the hotel does not seem to sanitize the slippers for indoor use. All hotel guests had to change to their slippers to access their indoor facilities.

Smile Hotel Wakayama is conveniently located right beside Wakayama Castle, making it a great choice for sightseeing and exploring the area. Overall, we had a good stay and a pleasant experience. Although the hotel’s renovation and interior are slightly outdated, the room was still clean and comfortable. Considering the price and the excellent location, it is more than acceptable and offers great value for money. What truly stood out was the excellent service from the front desk staff. They were extremely friendly, helpful, and professional. We encountered a problem with our car during our stay, and the staff kindly assisted us by contacting the police and helping us handle the situation, which we really appreciated. Overall, it’s a great option if you’re looking for a budget-friendly hotel with a fantastic location and outstanding service.

Very pleasant stay. Frontdesk staff is very friendly. Generous amount of amenities. Clean room and bathroom. Recommended!

Comfy bed, large and clean room. Have common areas like shared kitchen at the residence. The residence is located next to the main block of the hotel. You have to walk outside for ~2min to travel to the main block if you would like to enjoy the hot spring / play at the game room / exchange for new towels. Hot spring is nice, with indoor and outdoor areas. The outdoor one is with stunning sea view. There are snooker, table tennis, and other games in the game room for all guests.
