Candeo Hotels Nankai Wakayama

Lovely hotel right above Nankai Wakayama Station. (Not Wakayama Station.) Great location, with a gourmet supermarket right downstairs, along with a small food court. Great restaurants within walking distance. The 12th floor Sky Spa was great. The open-air ofuro (common bath) is like an infinity pool and has a relaxing view of the river and city. Breakfast was very good. Really appreciated the homemade tofu and some local specialties. Best hotel of my trip.

My room looked out over the station and I could *slightly* hear announcements and trains braking. This really wasn't a problem, since I love trains. A light sleeper might be awakened early, though. Overall, though, all the plusses more than make up for this minor shortcoming.

A great contemporary design hotel with excellent rooftop spa. Restaurants and train station nearby makes very convenient.

Great location - walking distance to major attraction and the team that worked there were very helpful and friendly.

Could only use the onsen between midnight and 4am because of tattoos. Would be great if access was at an earlier time.

A good stay in a central location of Wakayama. The breakfast was surprisingly very well stocked and tasty. The staff were friendly and accommodating as well. They answered all our questions clearly and quickly.

I wish they would've granted us a late checkout given our circumstances. They were very firm on charging us even with our extenuating circumstances. Overall, a small dampener but they were just working by the book.
