The location is just fine for seeing museums, it’s just for eating options (including supermarkets) that it’s a bit out of the way. Microwave and vending machines on the ground floor. It’s a good value and glad I picked this for my 3 night stay. I didn’t try the breakfast since it looked like it might be fully booked from the sign but I might have been misunderstanding what it was saying.

The smoking room is like hundreds of smokers in this room with you. It's super disappointing that the hotel doesn't take any air cleaning activities in this room and all the facilities are old.

Facilities and service rendered are at reasonable level. The location is just next to the Wakayama Castle. Reception is 24/7, which is appreciated.
