이와하시 치즈카 고분군 주변 × 만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

Ever since I happened to stay here on a trip to Wakayama, I’ve been coming back regularly. This is already my third stay. I get the sense it used to be a love hotel, but in any case, it’s extremely clean and comfortable. For this level of quality, the value for money is outstanding. Highlights: The Room is very spacious and spotless. The toilet and bathroom are separate, and the bath is large enough to soak properly in the tub. The bed is double-sized and roomy. Amenities are well stocked. I still haven’t found any downsides lol. I’ll definitely stay here again when I’m back in Wakayama.

We stayed here with our dog. The two-story detached villa-style Accommodation was spacious enough. Everything inside was thoroughly cleaned, making our stay very comfortable. Both dinner and breakfast were generous in portion, with a great variety of dishes, and everything tasted excellent. There were plenty of amenities for dogs as well; you do need to bring your own dog food, but we had no issues otherwise. The only downside for me personally was that there was no washbasin in the bathroom, but even so, it’s a very appealing Accommodation and we were highly satisfied. I would definitely like to visit again.

The breakfast was delicious. Our Room was on the second floor, and the large public baths were on the first and second floors, so they were very close and we enjoyed them both morning and night. We often stay at Route Inn in various locations. We appreciate that the price matches the service.

Everything exceeded my expectations—I was truly impressed. The welcome coffee was delicious. The ice cream after the bath was great, and they also offered complimentary late-night noodles. (I’d eaten a big dinner so I couldn’t try them—too bad.) The bath was spacious and relaxing, and the amenities were well stocked. Breakfast had plenty of premium ingredients and felt very luxurious. Next time, I’ll visit during the colder season.

It was a late check-in as I only used it mostly for sleeping. Although the room was small, there were drink bar services and breakfast included, making it very cost-effective!

When I visit my parents’ home, I stay here once or twice a year. I always book the Moderate Twin, and the Room is spacious and very quiet, so I can relax and rest well. Breakfast has a great variety and is very satisfying. This time (I don’t think it was available last time), there were options like shabu-shabu, steamed vegetables, and meat soup, all of which were delicious. Also, I love tea but watch my caffeine intake. They had decaf options I haven’t seen elsewhere, such as decaf Earl Grey, which was wonderful. They’ve also created a guest lounge using part of the breakfast restaurant area, where you can enjoy soft drinks anytime. It seems like a great place to unwind as well. The rooftop area is still open and remains a soothing space. However, they used to offer one complimentary drink including alcoholic options, and that service has ended, which was a bit disappointing (maybe it was replaced by the lounge?). In any case, I’d definitely like to stay again.

This was a wonderfully rustic Onsen that Onsen lovers will adore. The naturally gushing spring water flows abundantly, and you can truly feel the power of nature. It also gets very lively with day-trip visitors. We stayed with the conger eel (hamo) course, and what surprised us most—given the simple exterior—was how outstanding the cuisine was. It was like a high-end kaiseki meal: beautifully presented, with seasonal touches so refined it almost felt too beautiful to eat. The soup course even featured delicate dew-like droplets, and as we enjoyed an authentic kaiseki course, we were warmed by the chefs’ heartfelt hospitality. It was our first time having an all-hamo menu from start to finish in so many different preparations! Even delicacies like liver and swim bladder were included—proof of exceptional freshness. The hot pot ingredients featured white vegetables and tofu chosen to match the hamo’s translucent look; even that alone felt like early summer had arrived, and it was subtly garnished with fresh green maple leaves misted lightly for a dewy finish. We were truly moved. Our whole family agreed there’s no more luxurious hamo course than this. With spring quality worthy of being called a hidden hot spring and cuisine that delights both the eyes and palate, it felt incredibly indulgent—and we’re grateful it’s so close to Osaka. The staff were wonderful, and the Accommodation was impeccably clean throughout. This was the most impressive stay we’ve had in recent years!

The building is old, but it feels like it has been renovated as much as possible. The elevator is old, but the Room feels nice. The toilet is modern, and the bath is separate and spacious—great for relaxing. The water pressure is low, about two-thirds of what I have at home. For parking, you can choose either JPY 1,000 with free in-and-out access, or the JPY 900 lot across the street with a 24-hour lock-in system. I appreciated how the front desk staff tried their best to be kind, so I also made sure to use the Room as neatly as possible. As for the large public bath... well... yeah (lol).

The front desk staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming.

My wife and I stayed here together. For the past five years or so, we’ve been traveling out of the prefecture about once every month or two. We’re not the type to spend a lot on where we stay. New chain Hotels aren’t bad, but sometimes the cleaning isn’t thorough or the service feels a bit careless. This time, I thought it might be nice to stay at a slightly older Hotel, so we chose Business Hotel Katsuya. The Room (Japanese-style with a unit bath) and the shared bathhouse are a bit dated, but they are very well maintained, so we had a comfortable stay. The staff were courteous, and breakfast was delicious Japanese food (rice, salted grilled salmon, ham and salad, pickles, seasoned nori seaweed, egg tofu, small side dish with vinegar dressing, and miso soup). Coffee was also included as self-service, which we appreciated. Thanks to that, we were able to start the next morning feeling refreshed and enjoy sightseeing all day. I’d like to stay here again when traveling to Wakayama.

We stayed here when our grandchild competed in the Inter-High School Championships. Above all, the person who assisted us at check-in was wonderful. We truly appreciate how kindly and attentively they helped us because of the heat—bringing us plenty of ice and even lending us an umbrella when we went out. Of course, the Room and the bath were both spacious, and it’s a Hotel we would love to use again. Thank you very much.

Although breakfast is not normally provided, at check-in we received two sweet buns, a carton of milk, a boiled egg, and salt. In addition, from 7:00 a.m., you can try an onigiri service on a trial basis—said to be exceptionally delicious (they make it fresh and fill it with your choice of ingredients).

I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay of two nights for work and sightseeing. A typhoon was approaching at the time, so unfortunately it rained, but it was helpful that I could get to the nearby Don Quijote via the covered shopping arcade. If it hadn’t been raining, I planned to rent a bicycle and explore various places, so that part was disappointing—but there’s nothing you can do about the weather. The front desk staff will answer properly if you ask, but there were some differences from the information listed, so I’d like to share them. There are two washing machines on the rooftop: one is a standard washer (I was told it costs 300 yen with self-reporting; if it’s sunny, you might be able to hang laundry on the rooftop), and the other is a coin-laundry type machine that washes and dries up to 3 kg for 600 yen—so it wasn’t free at all. (I should have taken photos…) What I liked: ・Affordable access to a nearby public bath (closed on Wednesdays) ・Even solo travelers can enjoy a spacious twin Room ・A view of the river next door from the window ・Luggage storage available until 13:00 even after checkout Also, during a Multiple Night Stay, cleaning is done once every two days, and new bath towels and face towels are placed in a bag and hung on your doorknob. Overall it was comfortable, and I’d like to stay again if I have another opportunity. Thank you very much.

My work was at Wakayama Castle Hall, and the location was convenient, situated between the hall and the station. At first, I was a little unsure if I had the right place. The Room had a washing machine, which I made full use of. This time I stayed solo, but it also had a loft. The price was reasonable, so I would like to stay again if I have the chance.
