Hotels near Sandankyo, Wakayama City

"The location is far from the city centre. If you are not driving it is a bit difficult to find restaurants, except if you wanna eat in the hotel. The location is not far from the fish market, maybe 5 mins walking distance. The hotel looks old but has good maintenance and it has superb scenery as near yachts pier."

"Nice view nice place, keep you relax staying in the hotel, free parking right beside the hotel, new experience of dinner with great cheese, and a set of breakfast with unlimited coffee give you refresh in morning. But beware of their dinner time at 5:30 and breakfast time in 7:30 that may different than expected."

"The location is fantastic! You get a great view of Wakayama Castle, day and night, right from your room. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes downstairs, and a bus stop right outside that goes directly to Wakayama JR Station. I'd definitely stay here again on my next visit!"

"This hotel was our last stop before heading to Kansai Airport, and it seems many others use it as a convenient layover point before their flight. It's incredibly easy to get to the airport from here; it's about a 7-8 minute walk, just two or three intersections away, to a Wakayama Airport Limousine Bus stop. Personally, I find the airport bus more convenient than the Shinkansen because you can hand your luggage directly to the driver instead of lugging it around. The airport bus costs 1400 JPY and takes approximately 30-40 minutes to reach Kansai Airport, which is actually more convenient than traveling from central Osaka. Secondly, this hotel, though small, has everything you need. Its bathrooms, both indoor and outdoor, are spotless. The breakfast spread offers a wide variety of choices, including sashimi and seafood rice bowls. Everything is presented in small portions, but it's all very clean and delicious. The hotel provides a map showing nearby attractions. After a bath, complimentary ramen is offered – we didn't try it, so I can't comment on the taste. There are also ice pops. I particularly recommend the room type I chose because it has a split bathroom layout. The vanity is outside, while the toilet and shower room are enclosed. As many know, some Japanese bathrooms are tiny, with everything crammed into one small space, making it impossible for two people to use at once for washing up and using the toilet. But this bathroom is separated, and it even has a small door that can be pulled shut to create a partition between the wash area and the sleeping area. This is ideal for guests with different schedules. This was a twin room, and it was quite spacious, with enough room to open up our suitcases. All in all, I highly recommend this hotel and this particular room type."

"Visiting this hotel was an incredible experience, and I was utterly captivated by the breathtaking views it offered. The property features both an indoor and an outdoor hot tub, and I must say, the outdoor hot tub is particularly special, providing a stunning backdrop for relaxation. Each morning, I looked forward to a delightful buffet breakfast that exceeded my expectations; the selection was diverse and delicious, ensuring a great start to my day. The hotel rooms were meticulously maintained, providing a clean and comfortable environment that made my stay even more enjoyable. Location-wise, it couldn't be better situated—nestled right next to the train station, making it easily accessible for travelers. Additionally, there’s a mall adjacent to the hotel, along with a charming bookstore, offering plenty of options for shopping and leisure. Overall, this hotel truly impressed me with its amenities, cleanliness, and prime location!"

"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."

"The breakfast was incredibly authentic, rich, and delicious, making me feel warm both physically and mentally – truly amazing! It was so good it could easily account for 1/3 to 1/2 of the room rate, haha, that's how much I loved it. My only regret is that I only stayed one day and thus only got to enjoy it once. 😄 The breakfast was so incredibly good that I could even overlook the bathroom setup where the tub and toilet were in the same room without a separate partition. 😂 The hotel is also super convenient for getting directly from Kansai Airport by bus without any transfers. This location was perfect for us as we were planning to visit Kishi Station to see Stationmaster Tama. We also had lunch at the hotel's ground floor cafe, and the food there was excellent too."

"The location would be very inconvenient if you don't have a car. The parking lot is large, so it was very convenient when I visited with a rental car. The dinner and breakfast were very good. The hot springs were too hot to stay for long, but the scenery was very nice."

"Because we couldn't go up the mountain to the hot spring inn, we had to find a hotel to stay in at the last minute. We booked it that evening, but luckily there were still a few rooms available. The hotel was new and clean, with a public bath. The staff were all very nice, and there was plenty of free parking."

"Seeing that their hotel is cheap, I chose to try it. It's a Zhongbao, although it's an older hotel But it is very well maintained, the feeling of a traditional hot spring hotel The location is near Ji Sanjing Temple, it is very convenient to go by the way. The hot spring is quite good, there is an open-air hot spring, the warm pool ice pool is good The hot spring opening time is relatively poor, 11 to 22 o'clock It would be better to open in the morning."
