HOTEL CITY INN WAKAYAMA in front of Wakayama Station

I stayed for one night and two days. This was my third time. I used it on short notice before as well, but it’s affordable and the Room is clean—nothing to complain about! There is a large public bath for men, but not for women; instead, they provide bath additives among the amenities, which I felt was very considerate. Breakfast seems to have increased to 900 yen, but there were many healthy Japanese-style options, which was nice. I usually eat more Western-style food, so I wish there had been yogurt. I’m not sure if it was because it was a renovated Room, but the semi-double bed was spacious and I slept soundly despite being tired from traveling. It’s also convenient—about a 5-minute walk from the station. This is a Hotel that reminds you not to judge by appearances alone!!

It was clean and comfortable despite the exterior, and it was within walking distance of Wakayama Big Whale. One thing I noticed was that the washbasin was small, so when washing my face the floor got soaking wet.
