There is little space in the bathroom to store accessories; if there were shelves, it would be much more convenient!

Possibility of registration at any time! Very friendly staff! When I arrived, my room was already cool, as they prepared the room for me in advance, turning on the air conditioner! Free breakfast (although I did not use it, but this is a noticeable plus for people who are used to having breakfast. The rooms are clean, no smells! No curfew. Availability of yukata and slippers!

No food, but coffee and bread from 7:30 AM. Convenience store nearby. The bed was comfortable, but I would have liked a Smart TV that can stream at least Netflix, as I cannot understand most of the Japanese programs.

The property was in a secluded area off the main road, which made the room quiet during the evening hours. The room was nice, but a little small. It was suitable for a short stay.

There are no restaurants nearby.

The location of the hotel is not the best. It is really close to the first bus stop (3-5 min), but there is nothing far accessible in the area. No restaurants. Luckily, there is a Familly mart 10 minutes away. The room in the hotel is clean and just big enough for maybe 2 people. I don't even need a very big room because I am only in the room when I come to sleep, otherwise I am out all day. The staff is friendly, but no one speaks English, so we used Google translator to communicate the whole time. If you are looking for a quiet environment, then choosing this hotel is the right choice.

Nothing particular to say, I only have 2 observations that I have read in previous reviews that were confirmed during our stay. 1. The lodge is quite rigid with check - in time has in the website says until 21:00. We have arrived shortly after and kept the hotel informed, but they were very clear that they would not wait for more than 30 minutes past 21:00. So it’s good to take into consideration that when booking as there is not much flexibility. 2. The room smelled a bit like mould, but nothing very strong and when we turned the AC it got better. I

Good price-quality lodge. The place was clean and in the morning a small breakfast with bread and coffee is offered to the guests. The staff is nice thought the English is very limited and even helped calling a taxi on the next day. Still good value for money, one gets what pays for.

The room was great. It was also a bit small, but at least for me not really a problem. The beds were very comfortable. It's close to be beach, because you can get there in a few minutes by bus.

I didn't like how the duvet covers worked. It was annoying. The price was expensive per night. It was far from the beaches and the public transit stopped running at 5:30.

Friendly and helpful staff. The front desk worker helped us out by calling us a cab and letting us use their freezer for our ice packs. The rooms were decent for Japanese standards.

It's not close to major area where restaurants are located. No laundry facility.

Free carpark and close to Tore Tore fish market. We like the Japanese style room and futon beds.

So glad to be able to stay at RAN hotel, the room is clean and tidy, an izakaya is across the road to settle for dinner (reservations required), and 600 meters away there is an ONSEN and RAMEN by the locals, the experience was just fantastic!

The place was so clean, the staff was kind. And its just 2-3 mins walk to the nearest bus stop.I would definitely recommend this place to my friends visiting wakayama.

Room was bigger than usual for this price point! They provide you with indoor slippers to change into, which means the facilities indoors are squeaky clean all the time. Had a cozy stay for 2 nights.

We asked for cancellation due to the earthquake and alarm. All other applications later than this one were approved but this one was the only one not agreeing cancellation for free, which is very rare (We didn't intend to cancel but just in case). This is very unpleasant. We finally got on our trip but the Express JR was canceled so we arrive in late night. I sent messages in early morning to ask if I can check in later due to several delays of trains, or at least leave me the room key somewhere as we've already paid the room cost. The reply was very late in the afternoon saying the checkin should be no later than 9pm, and only agreed to wait to 9:30pm after I complaint that I've paid the room charge, but cannot checkin before 9:00pm without a room key left to us. In a word, they are hard to communicate for any change. Besides, every time I left message in English, the reply was in Japanese. I had to google translate the feedback. Be careful
