The interior design of the hotel is sleek, yet simple, it wasn't garish like I would expect a higher quality hotel to be. The room had everything from dimmable lights, fridge, a great view of the city, and the tv has access to most of the common streaming applications. There's not anything I can think of missing from my stay, the ideal place.

Onsen (hot spring) was so good. The room size was a bit smaller than American motel chains, but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was outstanding, so many choices and all great.

Wakayama was never on our list until we heard about Kumano Kodo. It was an underrated city where there were many interesting places to explore. We would recommend doing the Kumano Kodo - Nakahechi route walk for anyone who loves hiking. The minimum of 4 days were required for this route, as we did. We spent 2 days hiking from Takijiri-oji near Tanabe city to Kumano Hongu Taisha. Then, we explored Yunomine Onsen which was one of the oldest onsen town in Japan and Kawayu Onsen where we could dig our own onsen pool on the river bank. We also recommended doing a boat tour down the river to Kumano Hayatama Taisha as it was part of the UNESCO world heritage site. Lastly, to complete the 3 grand shrines, we visited Kumano Nachi Taisha and the Nachi falls, the tallest fall in Japan, on our last day. The logistics were not difficult. We took the Kuroshio train to and from Wakayama and local bus in Hongu area.

Wakayama castle was very good, not only the view from the top of the tower but also the garden and tea room and secret corridor! You can also enter into the museum if you show the Wakayama castle entrance ticket. The zoo is ok for kids but not so much for grown up!

It’s one of the less popular destinations and thus prices are really nice. A lot of fresh fruits and sea is reasonably clean. If you don’t have time to go to Shirahama, Wakayama city is the second best. Isonoura beach has white sand.

This is our first time to Wakayama and we fell in love with it! It’s a quiet town but people are friendly. Easy to drive to various places of interest like Shirahama. We see more locals than foreign tourists in Wakayama and really love the tranquility of this place. I will definitely spend longer time in wakayama if I come back to Osaka again 👍

Wakayama city prioritizes automobiles. Cars are everywhere.
Wakayama city prioritizes automobiles. Cars are everywhere. Bus service is excellent. Walking is unpleasant because of the frequent need to give way to the few cars rolling through 6 lanes of asphalt.
In contrast, that makes the stroll around the castle a particularly nice experience. The gardens around are well maintained, very pretty. Every sunset is a new experience.
If you have a car, then sure, spend a night there, maybe two if you want to spend some time around Wakanoura. But then speed away to where the real magic of Wakayama happens: Koyasan, Kumano Nachi, Kumano Hongu,...

Wakayama City is a beautiful and relaxing place!
Wakayama City is a beautiful and relaxing place! Full of onsens and fun places to go. We visited Marina City, where we saw a Tuna filleting demonstration at Kuroshio Market and took beautiful photos in Porto Europe. We also saw Wakayama Castle which was stunning with the cherry blossoms in bloom and very fun with the ninjas roaming the grounds. They were quite helpful. The BEST part was the Fusion Museum in the Forte building where you can input a design on a computer and then ride a bicycle to knit the design!
Super convenient location, right next to the Wakayama station. Check in was easy. One of the reception staff is Chinese so if you have no problem if you can speak only Chinese. The porter is very helpful, he saw that we have so many luggage and shopping bags, he came forward to help us, bring all the luggage and bags to our rooms. There is one free coffee at the cafe if you scan the QR code on the TV screen in your room. Also, in the evening, between 7 to 8 pm, there's complimentary curry rice which was delicious.
The check-in receptionist was very sweet and friendly. My problems with the room have more so to do with administration and the layout of the hotel regarding smoking rooms and non-smoking rooms rather than the actual staff. The staff themselves were very nice.
The view was absolutely amazing!!! Had a beautiful view of Wakayama Castle. Only a few minutes walk away too. Also, the included breakfast was delicious and the restaurant area shared a view of the castle too. I looked forward to waking up to eat there!
Hiroko and Kazu (the owners) are amazing people that were very kind and ready to help. Hiroko even picked me up from the train station! They offered a lot of very helpful information for my stay at Wakayama. I'm very happy to have followed their advice as that made my visit a wonderful one! They speak English, French, and Japanse! Would definitely stay again and would very much recommend staying at this hostel!
This is a special hostel in Wakayama. Hiroko is so inviting and went over maps and the free bike rentals when we arrived so that we would know more about fun activities. The hostel is beautiful and clean. We loved staying there. We also really enjoyed being in Wakayama City and biking around to the castle, gardens and exploring around. It was a great location!!
Very helpful staff. Easy to check-in and check-out. My first experience with "capsule" hotel. Capsule is closed with plywood doors so private is enough even you can here what is going outside.... Inside TV, sockets, headphones, enough place to sleep and put backpack inside. But not suitcase - it stays outside your bunk.
It is super close to train station.
Awesome hostel. Had possibly the best coffe I've had in Japan at the bar, as well as some crazy good basque burnt cheese cake. The bar is beatiful and the hostel itself is very nice as well. Rooms are super big. Location is very convenient, not far from the train station and close to Wakayama Castle and a lot of great restaurants.
Near the hotel, although a word of advice would be to go out from the central gate of Wakayama Station, turn right and take the elevator down to rhetorical basement, go through the underpass and take the lift up on the east side to get to the hotel. Serves a good breakfast. Rooms were big and beds were very comfortable!
Rooftop terrace with complimentary drink and screening of Wakayama attractions was pleasant diversion. Opening hour could be earlier to view surroundings before dark falls. Convenient location next to JR station and shopping mall. They have a pillow bar for selection and complimentary curry rice in the evening.
There is an Onsen and it was my first experience. Very nice that it was inside the hotel. There were freebies like ice cream, chocobar, soup for supper, 24 hours coffee, free Landry machine etc. Very polite staff as everywhere in Japan. It is near the central bazar and bus and train stops.
Exactly what we expected from previous APA hotel stays. No luxury, but everything we needed. Very firendly and helfpul staff. Probably not excellent breakfast for Japanese standards, but definitely some interesting dishes for us to explore :)
Pleasantly surprised by the amenities in the room. There was a TV by the bathtub, large projector screen (although I didn't use it), and the room was very spacious! The room was decorated with Japanese decor, which was a nice touch
This hotel is new and provides complimentary parking. Rooms are big compared to the average Japanese hotels. Welcome drinks and snacks are also available during check-in. Room service are reasonably priced and value for money.
Overall, a fantastic place to stay for cheap, in an excellent location in Wakayama City. Great views from the 9th floor breakfast buffet, fairly comfortable rooms, and helpful staff made Smile Hotel a great fit for us.
The location is convenient. It’s not that far from the station.
The room is simple yet clean. The best part was we got to see the beautiful view of Wakayama Castle from our room!
