Location it's about five bus stop Price is very good Breakfast with a view Wakayama Castle Breakfast is a must ¥900 very good price and with a killing view The hotel offers bicycle for free , but the problem is only for one hour You cannot get to anywhere within an hour so we did not use the service at all My suggestion most of the people will come and use the free bicycle only once even though they stay for many days why not let the hotel guest to use the service with combine hours Bus fare is quite expensive in Japan for the short distance right taking a taxi is lot better

Very Good Breakfast! The only drawback of this Property is that you cannot open the window in your room. It is also a bit dated.
