Hotéis em Iwade

Old-fashioned Japanese hotel with good service and good environment. There are also supermarkets nearby and it is very convenient to take a car. Leisure travel is very good.

After landing on a night flight, stay at Osaka Airport for one night, which is cheap and affordable. If you bought the Kansai three-day train pass, remember to enter the gate and activate it the next morning, otherwise you will waste a day. Buy a one-way ticket at the airport subway counter for 500 yen. Remember to take the 3-stop [local train] to Ihara. After exiting the station, use Baidu or Google Maps to navigate a 12-minute straight road with dim street lights to get there. It’s a small European-style hotel, remember to ask about wifi at the front desk when checking in. There is even a bathtub and pajamas in the small room.

This hotel seems to be at least last +30years. Most of the facilities in the room looks old. We were very lucky to met up with a front desk customer service - Mr Cao whom originated China but worked in Japan for many years. He assisted us to the JR Line counter in reporting my missing phone, and we did retrieved it back!

Hotel is few steps from Rinku town station. Outlet Rinku town is very close to Hotel. Free shuttle service to airport for early flight in morning is great. It starts from 05.20am.

Not new, but clean enough. Looong corridors are a little bit “cattle class” and any view of the castle is unfortunately blocked by wire in the window panes (a fire code requirement I understand). Otherwise perfectly fine. Staff were helpful with secure road bike storage downstairs which was nice.

Directly connected to Wakayama Station. Because it was in front of the station, there was a CVS and so on. It was on the upper floor of ”Kino Wakayama” in the station building and dinner was done there. The building was clean and the bath was very comfortable with a view of the Kino River. There was also a menu with breakfast and it was delicious. However, it was a few dissatisfaction points that made the evaluation ”normal”. It is mainly a part of hospitality, not hard. First of all, I was guided to breakfast at check-in. Because it was a Bon Festival time, there was a paste that the breakfast time was early in the elevator, but it was guided at the front desk at the usual time. Under the corona, the locker of the bath was pulled out, but when the locker without the key was opened and asked the front desk whether it was possible to use it, it was answered that it did not get the point. When I used it for family ３ people and asked the front desk for breakfast tickets without a number of people and confirmed that it was okay and went to the breakfast venue, I was told that ”the breakfast ticket is not enough １ pieces”. I thought that the front desk was on the upper floor and it was surprising to go up to the upper floor once when I checked out. As a concept of the whole Candeo Hotels, it is called ”unique ４ stars”, but it has somehow lacking impression that it does not become ５ stars. It seems that there is a chain hotel nationwide, but what about ... It is a hotel that does not come to the top of the choice.

Very close to the station. The transportation is convenient. Quiet enough at the same time. Zhongyou has a Japanese room.

Because I arrived in Wakayama around 12 o'clock, I planned to store my luggage first after lunch. It takes about three to five minutes to walk from Wakayama City Station to the hotel. The female receptionist was very good and polite. There is no need to store my luggage in the lobby. You can check in as early as 1 pm. The next morning, the breakfast period is from 6:30 to 9:00. We arrived at the restaurant at 08:38 and most of the food had already been collected. The two aunts were making hot spicy rice balls themselves and waiting for the ingredients. The food is simple, but it feels so warm and delicious. Please note that in winter there is only heating supply, so you can open the window zzz at night, and everything else is fine.

Great hotel to stay at if you arrive late at night. It is a train ride away from the airport and within walking distance to the outlet. It took around 10 minutes to walk to the outlet. There is also Trial supermarket (5 mins walking distance) that is 24 hours so you can stock up on souvenirs or food. It has food, clothes, cosmetics, toys and electronics.

There was ointment in the car, but when I wanted to get on the car, the door was automatically locked and I couldn't get it. Thanks to this, it was itchy, even though I only slept for two hours, I woke up. It may be for crime prevention, but I hope that prepaid customers have a system that can be vacated, or even a little bit, so that it can be easily obtained even in an emergency.
