シンプルイズベスト
Pros:

駅からすぐ近かった。和歌山駅東口は西口に比べ静かで落ち着いていて過ごしやすい。良いカフェ。また近くのホテルでのランチもあり、西口よりもはるかに環境が良い。

Pros:

Close to station.

Cons:

My experience at this hostel was extremely disappointing. The room was freezing, and the atmosphere felt just as cold. There’s nothing around the hostel except the station, so the location isn’t convenient if you’re looking for food, cafés, or anything nearby.

The reception staff made things worse. The guy at the front desk was very unkind and unwelcoming. He refused to let me check in even three minutes before the official time, didn’t smile, and was generally unfriendly. There was also a phone number at the entrance for assistance, but when I called, the staff didn’t speak any English, so I couldn’t even ask about leaving my luggage.

There is no luggage storage before check-in, so I had to wait from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. with all my bags, which was very inconvenient.

Inside the room, there are signs saying quiet zone- “no sounds beyond this point,” but at 4 p.m. the same staff member came in blasting music and loudly cleaning the room, completely ignoring their own rules.
I had to tell them to turn it off.

If you’re traveling with heavy bags, be aware: you have to carry everything up the stairs on your own, as there’s no assistance.

To top it off, I didn’t even receive a towel, and the pillow was tiny and uncomfortable.

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this hostel. Between the cold temperature, the lack of basic services, the unfriendly staff, the noise, and the general discomfort, it fell far below expectations.

Convenient Location
Pros:

Location was very convenient if you need to be near the train station. There's also a 7/11 round the corner. Beds were comfortable and the showers were great.

Cons:

Didn't like the fact that you still had to rent a bath towel separately should just put it in the cost of the room and the common lounge is kind of small.
