Miinukset: Narrow space in the room.

Plussat: The bed was comfy, breakfast was nice and there was a really good Onsen. The room was larger than others we had stayed in.

Miinukset: The accommodation was old and tired looking. It looked like it was last renovated in the 70s with lots of dark wood. The room was a little noisey.

Plussat: Large bar and public area. They provide a cute hand-made city map for each guest.

Miinukset: No air-condition at the room. But they provide fans beside each bed. It was still a little bit hot during sunny days.

Plussat: The staffs at the reception desk were very helpful and able to communicate in English. The location is ideal for those who desire to visit Wakayama Castle, it only takes 5 minutes to walk to the castle gate. The room is sparkling clean and spacious for two people. The view from 13th floor was excellent.

Miinukset: Location is quite far from both JR and local train station.

Plussat: Great breakfast buffet, good service, clean room

Miinukset: Too far from where I needed to go, no workout room

Plussat: Very near wakayama castle Comfortable and clean room Friendly staff

Miinukset: Location is quite far from jr station, if carry a big luggage then better take bus (1 or 2 day pass for local bus is suggested)

Plussat: Fantastic view of the castle. Breakfast good. Located in a small mall with a choice of places to eat without going far.

Plussat: Love the view from the room windows. it is facing directly at the Wagayame Castle with beautiful autumn leaves. The breakfast is a treat. It is walking distance from the train station and parks. A very tranquil small time for a short time get-away.

Miinukset: The room is a big dated... not idea for chic travelers. And with facility this big, i wish they have large public bath house or other amenities

Plussat: Good view outside the window. Breakfast was good and worth the money.

Miinukset: The room was too warm, even with the window opened. Could not sleep well.

Miinukset: The front desk staff so friendly

Plussat: Location next to JR station; clean bed, floor and bathroom; adequate facilities in need for business traveling.

Miinukset: Condition of the room for the request of non-smoking room: Parfüm mixed with tobacco scent in the room without no-smoking sign. Those scents ruined ‘clean and beautiful’ image of the room.

Plussat: 1 minute to JR Wakayama station. Clean and comfort.

Miinukset: It was the day of super typhoon so unexpectedly I had to stay one more night. I could only book the twin room for late check in for second night. Staff were very polite but I couldn't go out in the harsh wind. the staff charged me extra money to stay in the room. I find it a little sad that they charged me for almost one night fee for staying a few hours in the room during the typhoon.

Plussat: Great service! Great location! Nice City

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Can't find other better hotel near JR Wakayama Station. Great location, great service.

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Room is big, just 2 minutes walk from jr station.

Plussat: Perfect place to explore Wakayama city and surroundings. Located right next to the station with several options for food and drinks. Staff is very helpful. Free breakfast is very good! Clean. Good value for money. Wifi worked well.

Miinukset: Room was a bit small but this is quite normal in Japan for this kind of hotels. Not a big problem for me.

Plussat: Good place, next to the station. Many restaurants nearby

Plussat: Breakfast was good. Room was quiet and smelled good.

Miinukset: Air conditioner/heater was difficult to program. I wanted to warm up the room but was not able. The selection of channels was limited. The cost/movie (1000 yen) was too much.

Plussat: It was in a convenient location.

Miinukset: Parking was an issue. It was supposed to be a first come first serve basis but i stayed for 4 nights and couldn’t get a reserved lot. Very strange parking policy. Surely they don’t except someone touring halfway to come back and book a lot. Seems to be not much done for relatively longer stay customers. That should be improved.

Plussat: Location is definitely the key attraction for Comfort Hotel, with its close proximity to the JR station. Good restaurants are within walking distance. Facilities are sufficient and the room is comfortable.

Miinukset: Nothing at all.

Plussat: The hotel is very near jr train station. The staff is very nice.

Plussat: Breakfast spread was good.

Plussat: Reasonable price

Miinukset: The location of the hotel is not convenient.

Plussat: beautiful view of sea

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Porta Europa (amusement park) & Kuroshio Fishmarket were right across the street. Lots to eat & buy. The staff was friendly & courteous.

Miinukset: Tried to get get early check in but they wanted to charge $25 an hour. The air conditioner wasn't working but they said it was only a heater and would only blow warm air. Thankfully, the weather was chilly and we were able to open the window. However on or third night, mosquitoes!

Plussat: The room was spacious. Windows could be opened for fresh air even though it was previously a love hotel.

Miinukset: The hotel was a little dated. Cleanliness was acceptable but could be better. Bathroom TV and Jacuzzi were not working. Breakfast could be ordered in advance but the earliest timing of 10 am was too late for us. Hosts were not able to speak English, we have to rely on a translator.

Plussat: This was a honeymoon trip so we loved that we can stay in former love hotel. They gave us very nice room with the Fujisan painting on the wall - I loved it! For japan standards the room was really big and comfy and the bathroom was exquisite and the bed was really comfy. The staff was so nice, they even borrowed us an umbrela as it was raining :)

Miinukset: We could not find how to do the caraoke - I was looking forward caraoke experience but there was no way how to do that. Also it was a bit tricky to find out how to turn the lights/climatization of. Only one blanket for two people - but we could manage, it was a love hotel after all :)

Plussat: The massage chair and jacuzzi provided

Miinukset: The room were full of scared pictures on the wall

Plussat: Very interesting rooms, But next to a temple with tombs……a little far away from jr station.

Plussat: Spacious room.

Miinukset: Smelly room.

Miinukset: Absolutely a lovely place for discover the beautiful Wakayama

Plussat: Rooms are big and comfy for 3 of us. The decorations in each room is different. We like the decorations : very Japanese and very artistic. There is even a jackpot machine inside the room! Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Quite big space in Japan standard. Clean.

Miinukset: A special interior design is not for everyone taste. Aircon makes too big noise, we must turn off at night!

Plussat: It was basically ok. The life size mannequins in the entrance give you a bit of a fright each time you come in, which keeps you on your toes.

Miinukset: It's a slightly run down love hotel. There was nothing terribly wrong, but various things didn't work properly in the room, like some of the lighting and various features of the shower/bath. The room decor was either depressing or entertaining, depending on your outlook. You could get something nicer for what we paid.

Plussat: Big and clean room, huge bed, big and clean toilet, good Wifi connection, no issues with the checkin or checkout process, even when my Japanese is less than basic, so, perfect choice for work trip. Pretty close from Wakayama station.

Miinukset: Nothing really.

Plussat: Most of the staff are able to communicate in English

Plussat: The staff were all lovely, polite and helpful.. The onsen was fun but smelt quite strongly of chlorine. The view was spectacular and the room was very big.

Miinukset: It was very dated . Didn't like the smell of smoke in the corridors. The food was bland and lacked taste. There was plenty of food and it looked great but we were really disappointed by the lack of taste. We've been in Japan 2 weeks and eaten in lots of tiny eateries and had some delicious food and whilst here was our most expensive stay and the presentation was great the flavour let it down hugely . The salad at breakfast looked a day old very limp . The prawn was a grey pink, not fresh looking , the tofu was boiled in a pot of water with mushrooms and had no flavour . The dinner misso tasted like water with some seaweed strips in it . And we were served a grilled fish head ? There's hardly any meat on a fish head . The chopsticks were the cheap wooden ones you get free from 7/11 when you buy food and have to split them . I've never had these in a restaurant , even tiny eateries give you nice chopsticks .It was just not what we expected from the price tag . Very disappointing.

Plussat: The location for taking Onsen with the sea view is perfect for anyone who enjoy Onsen. The location is peachful and refreshing.

Miinukset: Hotel is a bit old and some little garbage in the room trashcan was not fully taken out before checking in but not that much trouble.

Plussat: Very friendly staff. Seaview is spectacular. Onsen is small but quiet and comfortable.

Plussat: Over my expectation, very good friendly staff and delicious food !!!I love this hotel very much.

Plussat: Magnificent view from the outdoor bath

Plussat: The hot spring is facing the ocean which make me feel very relaxed. The room is very clean and I got everything I need. It is mazingly comfortable!!!

Plussat: Lovely location, staff were helpful & friendly. View from the lounge would have been excellent if the coach parking space wasn't in the way! Food was OK but could have been better for the price.

Miinukset: They had fitted a bathroom in the room in too small a space which made it awkward to use.

Plussat: Breakfast in large dining room overlooking the bay, good

Miinukset: Facilities are old, tired looking ...

Plussat: Near to train station & 7-eleven is just a few step away from hotel. Spacious room allows me to comfortably pack my touring bike.

Plussat: Best location in Wakayama, esp close to the JR station and spacious room.

Plussat: Is close to many bars and restaurants. The buffet breakfast is mostly Japanese style but there is bread and jam too. It has all the amenities that you need. In the lobby there is also free water, coffee and cool towels to use.

Miinukset: Nothing bad about this place, the only down side is you have to pay extra for the parking space

Plussat: The proximity to the station and shopping and the Japanese breakfast.

Miinukset: The large step out of the bathroom is very dangerous.

Plussat: The hotel was right next to the train station

Miinukset: My partner and I opened the property location link on booking.com onto google maps- and we ended up walking 20 mins away from the actual location with our heavy luggage in the heat. We were so frustrated that we ended up googling the hotel name and found out it was right next to the train station.

Plussat: Convenient, staff was excellent & so gracious & kind ! Thank you very much for excellent help finding our Granddaughter’s favorite hand puppet animal, she was so grateful & happy! We will always remember the first young staff employee that went extra way to help!!! We will always remember your Hotel service . We will always pray for your success and try to visit your hotel again! Thank you & God Bless you all!

Miinukset: Small. Need more English translation.

Plussat: Room was very quiet. Close to train station. The price was very good. The staff did their best; it was helpful to utilize Google Translate to help them out. The bed was on the small size for two people but comfortable. A japanese breakfast was included in the price, which was nice.

Miinukset: Thermostat was difficult to figure out, with no English instructions. The lobby smelled faintly of cigarettes.

Plussat: This was great value for money. The hosts are lovely and the meals were fantastic (we had the deal with bfast and dinner). It is close to many interesting sights and is directly on the beach with views from the dining room and some bedrooms. We had a great time.

Plussat: The breakfast is so good and the owner is friendly to all customers.

Miinukset: Nothing at all.

Plussat: Very nice hosts, they dropped us at the restaurant as it was late. Very good breakfast japanese style

Miinukset: Pillows are too soft, got a neckache Beach is dirty but the sea is nice Far from everything A bit old building but clean

Plussat: Location Service

Miinukset: No bath/shower after 10pm (!) No heater in Onsen/bathroom area (it was really cold after taking a bath) Only one hair dryer, no cotton or make-up cleanser No mirror in room

Plussat: The owner is so nice :) and helpful.

Plussat: The people who run the Lodge could not have been nicer, more helpful or accommodating, they really made me overlook the physical aspects of the Lodge. The night before my departure I asked what time the buses run to get me back to the train station and the answer was "no bus needed we will drive you". If you get out and explore there are some wonderful shrines, temples, parks, and beachside coastline to visit.

Miinukset: Unfortunately both the Lodge itself and the surrounding area have seen better days particularly the coastal promenade pathway which has huge chunks of concrete broken and tumbled about. Health & Safety would definitely shut the area down in the UK. Also most of the surrounding premises were shut but I guess it is a seasonal thing. Also it seems that overseas visitors are few and far between as there is very little information available in any other language than Japanese.

Plussat: Loved the traditional feel of the Hotel and could imagine what the area would have been like in it's hay day. The staff were so helpful, great breakfast, the onsen experience was good and twice they ran us out to their top choice of well priced restaurants. All very memorable!

Miinukset: A little bit noisy but all quiet after 10pm
