Hotel Granvia Wakayama ★★★★

📍 Tomodacho 5-18, Wakayama City

Dormy Inn Premium Wakayama Natural Hot Spring ★★★★

📍 〒640-8331 Wakayama, Misonocho, 3 Chome−36, Wakayama City

"The hotel is quite close to Wakayama Station. After exiting the station, it's just a few minutes' walk straight ahead, past two traffic lights. The room size is moderate, typical for Dormy Inn hotels. The public bath is nice, and the breakfast, featuring local specialties, is quite tasty. I've always been a fan of Dormy Inn, with their hot springs and good breakfast."

Wakayama Green Hotel
8.3 (51 reviews)

Wakayama Green Hotel ★★★

📍 38 Shinsaikamachi, Wakayama City

"I booked this hotel because it was reasonably priced and the distance from both Wakayama City Station and Wakayama Station was the same. It was farther than I expected when I walked, so I recommend taking the bus from the station. I booked a single room, but it was very spacious with two beds. Amenities were minimal, but I liked that there was a microwave in the room. I chose the breakfast option, and they provided something like a bento box."

8.8 (164 reviews)

Wakayama Kada Onsen Kada Kaigetsu ★★★

📍 1905 Kada, Wakayama City

"The hotel is in lovely location with clean and tidy facilities, and the from desk are very warm and hospitable. Free room update and picuk up/drop off service. A 10/10 accommodation experience!"

Manpa Resort
8.6 (61 reviews)

Manpa Resort ★★★

📍 2-10 Shinwakaura, Wakayama City

"This is the worst onsen hotel stay I have ever experienced in Japan. The hotel room was randomly assigned by the hotel, and we were given a room infested with mosquitoes and flies. I have caught seven mosquitoes during the stay (please see the included photo with mosquito stains which are caught using the information sheet provided by the hotel). I am not sure if this is related to the wrong practice of a previous guest by opening the window, or due to improper management by staff by airing the room by opening the windows due to cigarette smell (there is mild cigarette smell when checking in the room and all guests are non-smokers in the current stay). There is a card in the room saying that the hotel is located in a natural environment and it reminds guests to keep windows closed and it is expected that there will be bugs, however the room is not acceptable with so many insects and there are many other onsen hotels close to the natural environment which do not have the same problem. Placing a card in the room is ridiculous and doesn’t improve the room experience . We asked the receptionist in person if there is a potential room change, however we were declined of room change, just being given a simple word “Sorry” in English and we were given an electronic insect repellent machine and insect killer spray. To our understanding that night the hotel is not full and we doubt the reason for rejection of room change. No compensation was offered by the hotel. Although the room has a panoramic ocean view, the view actually partially overlooks another hotel which has closed down for more than 10 years which feels creepy when looking out at night. Given the price I have paid for the hotel stay, the service and facilities are totally not worth the price. Please do not be fooled by the marketing photos posted on this website as well as the official website, the actual facilities are really outdated and not that well maintained. Mosquito nets needs to be installed in this facility. I do not recommend anyone choosing this hotel."

📍 2 Chome-1-7 Kuroda, Wakayama City

📍 26-1 Shichibancho, Wakayama City

"The room was a bit small, but it was fully equipped and the location was super convenient. Wakayama Castle is right across the street, and it's beautiful both day and night. The view from the room was absolutely breathtaking! Excellent value for money."

Kimiidera Onsen Hana No Yu Garden Hotel Hayashi Hotels in Wakayama City

Kimiidera Onsen Hana No Yu Garden Hotel Hayashi

"I saw their hotel was cheap and decided to give it a try. It was a lucky find! Although it's a bit older, it's very well maintained, with a traditional hot spring hotel feel. It's located near Kisui-ji Temple, so it's very convenient to visit if you're passing by. The hot spring itself is quite nice; there's an open-air bath, and both the warm and cold pools are good. The only downside is the limited opening hours, from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM. It would be even better if it were open in the morning too."

Osakaya Hiina No yu Hotel Hotels in Wakayama City

Osakaya Hiina No yu Hotel

"Dishonest Hotel Staff and Extremely Poor Service – Avoid at All Costs I had an unauthorized double booking through Agoda, which I only discovered upon check-in. The staff — Nguyen Van Tu and 大島 — initially promised to help cancel the duplicate booking, but once Agoda reached out, they completely denied responsibility and refused to cooperate. Their dishonesty and unprofessional behavior caused unnecessary stress and financial loss. The hotel management clearly lacks integrity, and the staff cannot be trusted. In addition, the common areas were dirty, the service was appalling, and the onsen was hugely overrated. This is one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. Do not stay here — dishonest staff and zero accountability."

Hanayama Onsen Yakushinoyu Hotels in Wakayama City

Hanayama Onsen Yakushinoyu

"I stayed in July 2026. Kayama Onsen is impressive enough just for the power of brown water and precipitates covering the bathtub, but as a hot spring lover, I would like you to pay attention to "hot spring use" and take a bath. The source is a high-strength hot spring called 25.2℃, dissolved substance 17, 120mg/kg, and is a very individual source, including free carbon dioxide 2, 631mg/kg and iron 50.0mg/kg. What impressed me especially was not only displaying the numerical value of the source analysis book, but also investigating how much free carbon dioxide remains in the actual bathtub, unheated source bathtub 1, 100mg/kg, heated bathtub 1, 000mg/kg, It is open to the public as a large communal bath 500mg/kg. The "source" described in the hot spring analysis book and the "bath bath water" we actually enter are not always in the same state. I liked the attitude of trying to show the user to the difference. In the source bathtub, the source is injected from underwater to minimize oxidation such as iron as much as possible. The heated bathtub is also a heat exchange method instead of heating the source itself with a boiler. You can feel the ingenuity of delivering the source to the bathtub without damaging the individuality of this source, including carbon dioxide and iron. And if possible, I recommend staying instead of day trip. Around 5:30 am when guests can take a bath, in the source bathtub with few bathers, the relatively transparent source introduced from underwater changes to yellowish brown and brown with the passage of time. You can see did. In the open-air bath that was kept quiet at night, I was able to experience the best experience in the morning, taking a bath while breaking the calcium-derived film formed on the surface of the hot water. This is a figure of Hanayama Onsen, which is quite different from the crowded daytime. On the other hand, I would like to note that it is "crowded". It is a popular facility with many local regular customers, and the source bathtub during the day may be quite crowded. Some people used the vicinity of the source input section for a long time. If you come to Kayama Onsen, I would like you to stay and experience the best hot water in the morning before you can evaluate it without taking a bath only during the crowded time zone. It is also a fairly thick and high-strength hot spring. I think it is better to protect the bathing time guided by the facility and enjoy it while taking a break and hydrating without taking a long bath. For the meal, I had a Kumano beef sukiyaki course. The meat and vegetables are quite voluminous, so if you are a snack, you should check the amount when choosing a plan. On the other hand, I felt the chef's ingenuity in the small bowls. Breakfast was also lined up with Wakayama-like things such as Kanayamaji miso, new ginger, and tea porridge, and I enjoyed it as an accommodation trip. This time, I was grateful for the accommodation privilege of the pure hot spring supporters club. It's not that I recommend it because there was a discount. Rather, by staying at the hotel, I was able to see the change of the source of Kayama Onsen that I didn't notice only by day trip bathing and the ingenuity of using the hot water on the facility side. For unused members, I would like you to observe the differences between each bathtub and the change of hot water depending on the time of day, not only the first impression of "dark hot spring" that has become brown with precipitates. If possible, stay and go first in the morning. I think it's time to understand the fun of Kayama Onsen."

Hotel Granvia Wakayama ★★★★
"The hotel's location is excellent; it's a mere 2-minute walk from the JR station exit. Plus, there's a large mall right next door with a wide variety of restaurants, a supermarket, and plenty of shopping options. The rooms are clean and the service is attentive. I'll definitely stay here again if I'm in the area."
