Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant and not so great moments. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but they were on the smaller side. The service was helpful and friendly, but seemed more tailored towards international delegates rather than regular guests. The location was excellent, close to the market and onsen, offering a great view. The dining experience was impressive with a variety of Japanese dishes, but maybe not enough to satisfy everyone. Overall, a good stay with room for improvement.
The hotel provided a comfortable stay with pleasant service and a convenient location near local attractions. However, the room lacked outdoor views and felt a bit too large. The dining experience was delightful, featuring a variety of Japanese cuisine. The facilities offered were satisfactory for a relaxing stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The breathtaking ocean view from our relatively large room for three people was simply amazing. However, the room was a bit small. The services provided by the staff, especially for international delegates like us, were truly friendly and helpful. The location, although a little far from the city, was perfect with easy access to local facilities. The dining experience was one-of-a-kind featuring an array of Japanese delicacies that you should not miss. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms were spacious with two large beds, a TV, and a lovely balcony offering a breathtaking view of the sea. The cost, similar to that of a hotel in New York or London, was unexpected, possibly due to the air purifier unit in the room. The staff were attentive and accommodating, making my stay truly enjoyable.

The service is helpful and friendly with a takeaway breakfast set provided. The location is convenient for local facilities but a little far from the rest of Wakayama. The dining experience is a must-try, featuring an array of Japanese cuisine options. The facilities are satisfactory but could be improved in certain areas.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and simple, a nice change from typical Japanese hotels, though my room on the 2nd floor was very noisy with kids as it was a smoking room. The view from the balcony overlooking the sea was breathtaking. The service was helpful and friendly, catering well to the needs of international visitors like me. The location, while a bit far from the rest of Wakayama, was ideal for accessing local facilities and attractions such as the Kuroshio market and fish market.

The facilities provided were ample and met my expectations.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The view of the ocean from the room was stunning, but the high price didn't seem justified. The room itself was spacious and simple, a nice change from typical Japanese hotels. Being in a non-smoking room was a plus.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms offered spacious accommodations with a nice sea view, but the noise levels from kids on the 2nd floor were quite disruptive. The staff, while well-intended, seemed a bit cold and may not have been as attentive as expected. The location was convenient for local facilities like the fish and fruits market, but a bit far from other attractions in Wakayama. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of Japanese dishes, but the noise levels and lack of isolation affected the overall stay.
