The view of the castle from the room was amazing! I also thought the new AC and air filter was good. The beds were decent too.

The shower (though affixed with a new controller/handle and shower head) was very old. If the shower units themselves were replaced then I would rate this place higher. Also, the backs of the curtains were all shredded up. You can’t tell unless you look behind it though.

Great Location right next to the Castle, though a bit far from the station. View over the castle especially great at night and during breakfast. Though windows cannot be opened and were a bit dirty.

Breakfast had good variety but taste was only decent. Bathroom was a bit tight and can get slippery so be careful not to fall into the bathtub like me. :) No big complaints in general.

Amazing view on the castle, unforgettable! Very good service from the staff, very professional, may be a bit "cold". Location : perfect for me, at this point of my trip.

vending machines running out of some products. the staf may be a bit "cold". the location might be a bit far from night life.

Stunning view of Wakayama Castle and grounds from the room.

Room with twin beds was too small and little room to store two suitcases. One of them had to be put on the bed. Japanese hotel rooms are generally smaller than other countries , but this room was cramped with twin beds. But we got used to it and the view was a great compensation.

Clean, comfortable room. Really nice buffet breakfast, reasonably priced, and the dining room has an excellent view of Wakayama castle. The location of the hotel is good for sightseeing at Wakayama castle and about 10 mins from Wakayamashi Station (Wakayama station is further away)

Overall, a fantastic place to stay for cheap, in an excellent location in Wakayama City. Great views from the 9th floor breakfast buffet, fairly comfortable rooms, and helpful staff made Smile Hotel a great fit for us.
