Ryokan in Wakayama Prefecture

"The staff is very friendly!"

"Tried to check out and could not as they did not have staff to take payment. Had to leave to make it to bus in order to catch my train and flight. Has to go to extraordinary lengths to pay them after. Also extremely overpriced for this hotel, would never come back."

"オプションは2つ以上希望の場合は事前に連絡をと見かけたので 写経だけ1つなら当日でもいいのかと思い 特に申し出なかったら 準備があるので事前に連絡が必要と言われて出来なかったのが残念でした "

"We had a very pleasant stay. The food was excellent, everything was spotless, and the staff was exceptionally attentive. We especially enjoyed the morning ceremony, which made the experience memorable. On the downside, the stay felt quite expensive by any standard. Considering the price, it was disappointing that every step in the hallway could be heard, and that drinks other than tea were not included."

"Very nice staff and great rooms and views"

"Quiet and close to the whale museum. However, not many dinning options near by unless you drive. Public transport is limited as well."

"白浜に行くのに利用しました。 値段が安くて白浜までも近くて便利でした。 夜ご飯を食べて戻ってくると駐車場がほぼ満車でした。 それ程、お客さんが泊ってたらお風呂が混んでるかと思いましたが、お風呂も貸し切り状態でゆっくりと入れました。"

"Quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed vegetarian meal."

"Excellent stay!!"

"Whole hotel looks like it was good 20 years ago and someone just forgot to do anything with it since. We booked a non smoking room but when we entered the room the smoke was so heavy I could taste it and there were burn marks all over the carpet. We asked to be moved and got a new room which smellt like a mixture of smoke and peppermint airfreshener to hide it. At least in this room it was still manageable. Stains in the carpet but bedlinnen and bathroom were clean. Personell was friendly...

"We had great stay, staff were so helpful. Great hospitality!"

"Wonderful experience. Morning prayer fire ceremony with the tour of the temple was unforgettable. The temple has a piece of Buddha ashes. Shojin Ryori (Buddhist meal) was delicious and amazing. I would definitely be back for solo trip in the future. "
