Hotel Granvia Wakayama

Guests who stayed here loved

“This was my soft landing after a journey of over 24hours from Europe, continuing by ferry to Shikoku. I had stayed at the excellent S3 in the same building before but the S3 was full, so I upgraded myself to this solid hotel next to Wakayama Station. With trains running until midnight, Wakayama is a great option if you are arriving in Kansai and want somewhere quieter to spend the night - especially when travelling to Koyasan. Room was comfortable, quiet, all one needs for a good night's sleep. I arrived too late and left too early to use any other facilities. I slept well, and checked in and out with great ease, which is all I wanted from this stay. There is a Lawson across the square and a decent 7-11 inside the station. Buses leave from outside the hotel the station is less than 50m away, and it is excellent if you need onward transport. The hotel is rated 5 stars but felt more like a good three-star. The lobby is impressive, my room was just a standard business hotel room, maybe comparable to a Dormy Inn or an S-Peria in terms of quality and decor. Decor felt a bit aged, the bathroom was very small and the unit bath - well, I very much struggled with it as a slightly tall Westerner. There is no public bath, which would be nice given the bathrooms are so tiny and it is rated 5 stars.”
