Hotel Granvia Wakayama

Hotel was in an excellent location, just steps away from the JR station and connected to a department store / mall. It was easy to get around by train or bus. Check-in was efficient and my room was comfortable and a reasonably good size with space for luggage. All of the staff were extremely professional and helpful. Breakfast was good with a mix of Japanese and Western options including local specialities from the area, although I did feel it was on the expensive side at 3000 Yen per person. There were some nice perks like some vouchers for free curry and rice in the evenings and a guest lounge / rooftop. Room had some nice touches like Smart TV and the Wi-Fi was extremely fast and worked very well. Overall it was a very good choice and really well situated for getting around the Wakayama area easily.

Hotel service is excellent. Staff were proactive and patient in giving advice and information. It was always service with a smile and their English proficiency was good, making communication a breeze. Small gestures like curry rice for dinner, free drink at the roof terrace between 6 to 9pm, a pillow choice at the lobby makes the stay more pleasant. Full bathroom toiletries were given, except for skin milk and lotion, which would have been very helpful in cold dry weather. 2 bottles of water were provided every day. The location was excellent next to Wakayama station with food options nearby eg. in the Dining Street in the basement of the station. A limousine bus to Kansai Airport is available opposite the east exit although with limited timings (which can be checked online) Fully recommended for a comfortable stay.

Absolute perfection! The staff at this place were amazing. There is nothing they were unwilling to do. They really made our stay special. The property joins the local shopping center which is part of the JR line so you mostly can get to and from the station without going outside, the buses in front of the property take you to all the local sights. There was free curry and rice offered nightly and also a gorgeous rooftop bar with a free drink offered. The view is gorgeous and well equipped

This is a clean, comfortable, inexpensive hotel with good rooms and a great location just next to the station. A city bus will take you to any attraction such as the castle, the park or the Marina City. Breakfast is reasonable.

room was a lot more spacious than the pictures suggested, which was a very pleasant surprise. hotel staff were very kind to place my luggage directly in my room when i left it for storage as i arrived earlier than check-in time. clean rooms that provided everything i needed. location was awesome in that it was directly connected to the JR station and connected to a department store, I could just walk down to catch my train or do some shopping.
