Super cozy vibe, with dinner options in the Café best fries i have had in a long time, if not even ever. But also a separate kitchen shower and toilet in the room. Its very spacious and the beds are fully covered in a curtain. They provide information and a luggage "locker" where you can lock them with a bicycle lock until you leave after check out. There is also a cute Bird that "manages" the cafe. I cam totally recommend it. It is located between both stations and close to the castle by foot.

A great place to stay in Wakayama. I've been there the first day of my first trip to Japan and I felt easy. Thanks to all the staff.

Amazing facilities and amazing staff member! It's a pity we are only staying for one night. Their shower only open till 11pm, but we went to a nearby sento (440 yen) and it was great experience!

Honestly went to Wakayama city because this looked like a cool hostel (do I have too much time on my hands? Maybe!) but I was not disappointed. This little town was one of my highlights in Japan. Couldn’t recommend this hostel enough!

Loved the vibe downstairs, they had good cheesecake and the staff recommended some great beer. Felt a bit “hipster” which was kind of a turn off if that makes any sense. Overall really good but maybe just not my vibe totally. The bathhouse across the street was AWESOME and they don’t care about tattoos.

Mit sehr viel Liebe und Geschmack eingerichtet. Und sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Beim check-in habe ich eine Karte der umgebung gekriegt mit ihren Empfehlungen. In der Nähe hat es super leckere Cafés und Restaurants und ein öffentliches Bad.

Truly one of the best hostels I've stayed at. Excellent atmosphere, awesome bar/cafe in front that lots of locals go to, and run by some great people. I don't normally leave reviews but I highly recommend staying here.
