Guest Reviews

• Julia (8/5): - Wir haben eine Nacht im Guesthouse verbracht und waren mit dem geräumigen Zimmer inkl. Waschmaschine sehr zufrieden. Der Check-in war problemlos, die Lage super. Manches ist schon etwas abgewohnt und die Toilette roch nicht so gut, das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt aber und wir können die Unterkunft guten Gewissens weiterempfehlen. Es wäre fantastisch, wenn es Waschmittel für die Waschmaschine gäbe.
• Yang (7/5): 除了房間地板，一切都很棒 - 員工很親切，有幫助到我吃到想吃的食物 不太習慣廢墟風格的地板，總覺得還是有點沙沙的感覺
• Yu Ling (8/5): - 復古十足 隔音不優,盥洗室在外面,不方便
• Denis (8/5): - Bien situé par rapport à la gare et près de quartier commercial. Rien à signaler.
• Sara (10/5): - Very cute space with cool aesthetic and friendly staff. Great common spaces to hang out. Very nice local drinks. Loved that they had bike parking. Didn't realize until later that they have another branch that's a more dedicated bike hostel, but this place was more than great for a one night stop for us on our bike trip! Appreciated having a room with a private shower and bathroom for our group, and them giving us a whole private room (8 bunk beds) even though we were only 5 people. Really appreciated their guide for good spots around the hostel and in wakayama! Mattresses were a bit thin.
• Wu (10/5): - 謝謝
• wei chun (10/5): - 整體都很滿意，公共空間很愜意，房間很大很舒適
• DINNAH (8/5): - Value It’s hard to find.
• John (7/5): Essential staying in Wakayama - Great staff and good location close to the castle and good walking distance from JR station or reachable by bus.
• Takuya (10/5): -
• Liam (10/5): - perfect /
• Maria (8/5): - Ottima struttura, molto accogliente soprattutto nella parte comune al piano terra in cui si trova una bella cucina dotata di tutto il necessario e un ottimo caffè. Ho provato la loro cucina ed era squisita! Davvero una bella atmosfera. La camera delle donne è molto bella e ben arredata con tatami e letti comodi. Bagni grandi e abbastanza puliti. C'è un discount vicino ben fornito e con ottimi prezzi. La stanza mista è un po' più grezza, la mia tendina era troppo piccola e non c'erano tende alle finestre. La strada in cui si trova la struttura è un po' così, con locali per adulti, ma personalmente non ho avuto il minimo problema né mi sono sentita a disagio e sono una donna che viaggia da sola...
• Yi-Cheng (8/5): 偏商業型中規中矩的青旅，也許還有其他比較好的選擇，所以我取消了兩晚 - 我喜歡整體的風格，店家友善的態度 客房內的衛浴設備不是那麼令人滿意，淋浴間的部分泄水坡度沒有抓好，一樓的廁所有免治馬桶，但房間的卻沒有，甚至連上完廁所後沖洗的簡易裝置也沒有，睡覺時為了衛生，必須採用三明治睡法，對於房間內的衛生環境我是比較難放心的

• YUKI (10/5): -
• Iizuka (10/5): 良い - 雰囲気が良い ちょっと埃っぽいのとダニか分からないが数カ所虫刺された
• Fuh-Yuh (5/5): 沒有網路宣傳的那麼好，就是可以住。 -
• Nicholas (10/5): 10/10 recommend. It's an experience. - First "hostel" I've stayed at. I got a private room just to take it slow haha. But I was SHOCKED with my room and the building in general. The renovated apartment vibe is so cool. The rooftop was great hanging out up there at night. It was soo sick I'd recommend this place to everyone. The other people I met were so nice they were all like minded so dinner was cool.
• 直希 (8/5): - 若いスタッフさんも増えていて、今回のスタッフさんは明るく感じも良かった。 少しWi-Fiが弱い所がある。 客の問題だが、ベット横のハンガー台(おそらく本来、上下ベッドで一つのハンガー台使用が目安かと)を他の客が大きく使っていて使えなかった。
• Kumar (10/5): -
• sara (9/5): Welcoming and warm guesthouse. - Welcome staff, a modern guesthouse really welcoming. On the ground floor. A bar, Co-working space and shared kitchen. I really loved the simplicity of the room with BANK bed, shower and toilet in the room. Convenient location not far from the pier.
• Daniel (10/5): - Absoluetly brilliant place, super friendly staff amazing food and clean. Can't wait to go back after i finish the ohenro!
• Paul (9/5): Perfect place to stay in Wakayama - Really kind and welcoming Staff, the mood in the cafe was also great.
• Maria (9/5): - Ottimo ambiente in questa Guesthouse che spicca in un quartiere un po' atipico. La parte più bella è sicuramente il piano terra con l'ampia sala in cui si può stare fino a sera, con possibilità di fare colazione e di cenare per prezzi corretti. I piatti sono molto buoni! Le camere sono molto grandi e abbastanza silenziose, i letti comodi. C'è un grande bagno in comune oltre a doccia e bagno in ogni stanza. La cucina è dotata di tutto il necessario. Livello di pulizia buono. Staff molto gentile e che parla abbastanza inglese. Ho potuto lasciare all'interno la mia bicicletta. A pochi minuti a piedi c'è un ottimo discount. Le tendine non sono per niente oscuranti e nella camera mista non ci sono tende alle finestre.

• tim (8/5): - Really nice staff, good spot downstairs to chill and eat food, really good facilities The beds r abit small and creaky so I didn’t sleep too well and the lady under me thought she would keep her light on all night and was FaceTiming someone at 6am
• Nicholas (10/5): Thoroughly recommend. Great location & place to stay! - Great guesthouse, ambience & vibe. Great dinner menu served by friendly staff. Great bicycle storage. Nothing
• Elsa (10/5): -
• Wu (3/5): - 員工親切，環境舒適 房客素質差，也無人在意住宿規範，半夜3 點多在吵鬧聊天，只迎合歐美人士
• Gabrielle (9/5): -
• Denise (9/5): Friendly staff and quiet location - The open space in the living room; a dining area is also available to non residents.
• Ursula (9/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir konnten auch Velo mieten und sie empfahlen uns sympatische Restaurants. Der Bar/workspace hat uns richtig gefallen. Wir können nichts bemängeln
• MENG FONG (8/5): - - the staff were friendly and helpful - the staff offered a self-made map of nearby facilities, restaurants, groceries, etc... which is user friendly, clear and with heart
• 弘至 (8/5): -
• Alexandre (9/5): Très bon logement à Wakayama ! - Le logement est top, rien à redire sur la propreté, l’emplacement ou quoique ce soit d’autre. La nourriture du restaurant n’est pas top…
• Jack (10/5): -
• Kristien (8/5): - Toffe sfeer in de hostel. Vriendelijk personeel Muren waren nogal dun, zodat je de buren kon horen
• YUHSIN (10/5): -
• Olga (9/5): Comfy place, great funky room, good location. - Comfy place, great funky room, good location. Cold shower roo.
• Sita (10/5): One of the best hostels I've stayed. - One of the best hostels I stay in Japan. And I stayed in quite a bit of them! Female dorm room set up is so Japanese with tatami floor and only 2 bunk beds which makes it homey and spacious. Shower & bathroom also inside the dorm. Btw I tried their homemade Ume wine mixed with soda water. The use is from Wakayama area so it's very locally produced. Downstairs area is also a quiet bar with light jazz music. The whole ambiance is relaxing. The guesthouse is on 5th floor (haas elevator) so it's very quiet. good! Last but not least, all the staff are super friendly and accommodating. 5 🌟 stay overall! 😀 Nothing
• Melissa (10/5): Gorgeous, cozy place! -
• Lucy (10/5): A quirky and stylish guesthouse with fabulous facilities. - A wonderful guesthouse with fantastic apartment room and great facilities. Good food, lovely bar/communal area and fantastic staff.
• SAMUEL (10/5): -

• FDupont76140 (10/5): Great hotel in Wakayama - Great hotel in Wakayama! The rooms are great and very comfy! Same goes as the living room and the shared kitchen. I would absolutely recommend! Nothing!
• Thirza (10/5): Ik had langer willen blijven - Een hele leuke sfeer! De bedden waren wat hard
• Robyn (10/5): -
• YU FEN (10/5): -
• YUBO (10/5): - 非常开～放友善的环境，店员们都很年轻很有礼貌也很热情，没有任何让人不舒服的地方。公共区域非常温馨非常漂亮！还可以自己做手冲咖啡喝！有很多不同国家的人，可以看出是一个平等友好的地方。除了离和歌山站稍微有点点距离，整体的住宿体验都很良好～推荐来旅游的朋友们居住 没有

• LEI (10/5): - Spacious room and nice staff
• Jana (10/5): -
• Catherine (7/5): Pas mal dans l'ensemble. Bon rapport qualité / prix. - Personnel sympa. Cuisine correctement équipée. Auberge pas en très bon état général. Travaux à prévoir !
• Fu Min (9/5): -
• Yu Han (10/5): 復古感公寓，很有生活感的房間 - 電梯外觀有一點點恐怖，但很有復古感。櫃檯人員親切介紹周邊環境，一樓有餐酒館可以點餐。房內設備齊全，有廚房、洗衣機、沙發，讓人好想多待幾日。 可理解為了引導水流方向，浴室地板有設計斜度，但有一點點太斜。
• shihhan (9/5): - 四人房，空間寬敞，環境乾淨，餐廳備品齊全，每天都可以喝杯咖啡再出門 離車站有點距離
• Leo (8/5): - L’espace d’accueil et cuisine commune. Très belle chambre à ancienne. Les futons étaient trop fins.
• SATOU (10/5): - まず、立地。幸福湯のすぐ近くというのがいい。ゲストハウスで銭湯券を購入すると通常490円のところ450円で入浴出来る。またシャンプー、リンス、ボディーシャンプーも貸してくれるので買う必要がない… また外食場所も近くに多く、ゲストハウスのお姉さんが紹介してくれた定食屋さんぶらくりきっちんは量も多く安くて美味しかったです。 とくにありません。ゲストハウスとしてはコスパも高くおすすめの宿です。の

• Bin (8/5): - 格调简单朴实，
• SEAW (7/5): - the staff and the hostel design it quite good, just the location and facilities "laundry" service is not available.
• Sophie (7/5): Angenehm. - Netter Gemeinschaftsbereich mit großzügiger Bar. Alles sauber und nett. Die Bettdecke war zwar warm und kuschelig aber die Matratze war komplett durchgelegen mit einer richtigen Kuhle in der Mitte was mich in eine etwas verkrampfte Schlafposition gezwungen hat.

The room was tidy when we checked in and any amenities we needed were easy to access. Staff were so lovely and the bar/restaurant on the ground level were welcoming Nothing!
• い (10/5): おしゃれで落ち着いた雰囲気のゲストハウス - 外見も内見も凄く落ち着いた雰囲気でロックもしっかりしてたので安心でした。 なし
• hiroko (6/5): ミニマム - キッチンが自由に使えたので、便利でした。 洗面が一部詰まる
• Dror (10/5): -
• Toshimitsu (10/5): 和歌山市内ならこのゲストハウス一択 - ゲストハウスにcafeが併設されており、チェックインまでcafeでのんびり。今回は6人部屋を選んだが、部屋に入るとエアコンと加湿器が稼働しており配慮がありがたかった。水回りは清潔、シャワーの水量も十分、ベッドは木製なのでギシギシという不快な音もない。Wi-Fiも安定しており、zoomをする際にブースを使わせてもらった。すぐ側に幸福の湯というお風呂もあり、ゲストハウスでジャンプーやボディソープを貸してもらえたので凄くリフレッシュできた。スタッフは穏やかで笑顔の素敵な人ばかり。和歌山市内で宿泊するならココしかないと思った。 ありません
• OZAWA (10/5): -
• 沾Cu (10/5): -
• Chun Hsien (10/5): - 房間大小跟地點都超棒。附近就是商店街。雖然還有車站有點小距離，但是和歌山市區人好少，人行道很寬，走路很舒服。還有提供租單車服務，用單車閒晃和歌山市完全舒適。下次還要來這裡
• Camille (8/5): Très bien ! - Super appartement,.spacieux, avec tout ce qu'il faut (cuisine, machine à laver etc), café/bar qui fait aussi à manger en bas, staff aux petits soins. Pas de rideaux aux fenêtres + un peu de bruit de la rue, mais ça reste OK !
• YITONG (10/5): -
• Junlan (4/5): 入住体验，床边的位置是让人感觉总是不舒服，噪声大，不敢住 - 地理位置不错 需要改进
