Very convenient location right next to JR Wakayama station. Can catch city bus and taxi right outside of hotel. Clean room and comfortable bed. Smaller than American chain hotel rooms but comparable to a veranda cruise ship cabin without the veranda. Electric kettle, bottled water and tea provided. Hotel has system for room cleaning in which you choose how often cleaning is done. Located next to department store with food, beverage and grocery options. Also many delicious local restaurants are within walking distance.

Hiroko and Kazu (the owners) are amazing people that were very kind and ready to help. Hiroko even picked me up from the train station! They offered a lot of very helpful information for my stay at Wakayama. I'm very happy to have followed their advice as that made my visit a wonderful one! They speak English, French, and Japanse! Would definitely stay again and would very much recommend staying at this hostel!

Excellent choice of food for breakfast,especially if you like Japanese style…and fish.They even had fried whale meat on the menu. Free noodle service between 9.30 - 11.00 pm Beautiful onsen baths…the TV in the room will tell you how busy the baths are so that you can plan to go at a quieter time if you wish! An easy 5 minute walk from Wakayama station.

The location is perfect; it is only a 5 minute walk to the Kii Tanabe station where you would have access to all kinds of transportation. The guesthouse is actually a traditional Japanese residence which has a very authentic feel. The host is kind and multilingual. It is an excellent base to explore the southern part of Wakayama Prefecture.

Awesome hostel. Had possibly the best coffe I've had in Japan at the bar, as well as some crazy good basque burnt cheese cake. The bar is beatiful and the hostel itself is very nice as well. Rooms are super big. Location is very convenient, not far from the train station and close to Wakayama Castle and a lot of great restaurants.

The hotel was very close to the Wakayama train station. The check-in counter was on the ground floor which was very convenient. The lobby was spacious and grand. The hotel provided a complimentary Japanese newspaper. There were many choices, Japanese curry rice and Western style bread and butter, at the buffet style breakfast.

Lovely to stay and enjoy the delicious food and tranquility. I only wish we had stayed longer. Very interesting to hear Giovanni's story of developing the accommodation and preserving Japanese culture in Wakayama. Comfortable bed and space. We were nice and warm despite the freezing temperatures outside!

Lovely room, comfortable bed, bath and room had great view over marina. Friendly staff. Easy to get to by public transport. Good place to relax, an onsen nearby. However a bit far for seeing Wakayama castle etc. I think we were the only International travellers here.

A few stops by taking buses to the hotel, it's actually a walking distance for me if weather not hot and without luggage. Great location near Wakayama castle with castle night view. Warm and polite staff, spacious washroom, clean and quiet.

The location was great and the room and services were fantastic. The location was great and wakayamas transportation system makes it very easy to get around by bus. The staff was upset helpful and the common room was very nice as well

This apartment was amazing value for money! I only stayed a couple days, but it would be a great place to use as a base for exploring Wakayama. The apartment was clean and nicely decorated, and the kitchen was well equipped.

Very big and clean rooms! Near JR Wakayama station, so easy to reach. If you come by car, free parking spaces are available. Rooms had all we needed.

Great ametities, including free breakfast and drinks. The location was also good, walkable distance from the Wakayama station.

The location is great next to Wakayama Shi station, shopping mall and municipal library. The room is comfortable .

Stunning view of Wakayama Castle and grounds from the room.

I had so many expectations and Ekoin delivered everything. The temple itself is gorgeous, it is over 1.000 years, but so well kept, just impecable tatamis, garden, paintings, artwork. Also, it is so close to Okunoin cementery...i loved this part of town, so calm, feels like another time. The shared restrooms were a concern before getting there, but they ended up being one of the best of our entire trip - the bath is at the onsen, but is was ok for a day. Also, they provide a guide book to temple etiquette/schedules -just READ IT, do not go to morning service wearing yukata and do not arrive late. The monks are kind enough to let it go, but it is very disrespectful. The food is great, even though we are not vegetarians, we loved shojing ryori! And our favourite part was the morning service and the goma/fire ritual, do not miss it.

The onsen was incredible. The food for breakfast and dinner was incredible too.

Watching the sun rise in the room, excellent view!

Fabulous dinner, I left before breakfast, but the lunch box they provided was excellent to fuel me as I walked the Kumano Kodo. Spectacular location and views. Can’t recommend it enough!!!
