清潔感が、あった。
綺麗でした。

朝早くから、人の歩く音が気になり、目がさめた。

Unusual Hotel-in-a-Hotel with a Modern Feel
Pros:

The sleeping pods were comfortable and well furnished, including a lockable box, towels, pyjamas, TV, individually controlled lamps and ventilation, and a nice array of bedding. The pods appear to be individual units that are placed in one large room and just arranged into rows. Quite modern and slick design. Generally, it feels quite private, although sound travels easily as the only separation is a blind.

Men and women are segregated into two separate areas that each require a key card to enter. There are bathrooms within these areas and a shared communal seating area with microwave and kettle.

Centrally located just outside Wakayama station and very handy for train and bus links.

On balance, I'd stay there again.

Cons:

The profile desperately needs some more detailed instructions on how to find the place. Google Maps wasn't helpful for me. The hostel is on the 6th floor of the Hotel Granvia Wakayama and also shares a building with the Kintetsu mall. To access it, you must enter the Hotel Granvia lobby and take the elevator up to the 6th floor. There is no access from the mall, I believe.

Also, be aware that the bathing facilities are all shared, there are no private shower cubicles or baths.

Some of the shared spaces could also be improved, they felt a little like waiting rooms, not places to be comfortable and at ease.

Pros:

とにかく駅から近くて便利。寝るには全く問題がない、ドミトリーとしては少し割高かもしれないが、その分客層も良いから安心できる。

Cons:

大浴場が狭いので他のお客さんを見計らいながら入る事になる

交流などなくてもいいから快適な夜を求める方向け。
Pros:

駅に直結していて便利がいい。
施設が新しく、よく考えてつくられている。
快適なベッドを望むならとてもよく作られている。

Cons:

ドミトリーにしては、人間味に欠ける。
暖かいおもてなしは感じない。
クルマの場合わかりづらい。
あいさつもままならない冷めた感じのベッド群。
床材と、スリッパの衣擦れのような音が気になる。
