Top Tanabe Hotel Reviews

Comfort Hotel Kii Tanabe

"The ryokan was very beautiful with a very inviting lobby. Staff were extremely accommodating and checked on food allergies. Dinner and breakfast were awesome, tasted so great and filling. There was some mold in the toilet so minus points for that."

Kisyu Shirahama Onsen Musashi

8/10 Good

"This was a really cool retro/traditional hotel. While very well maintained, the ambience is something out of the 1970s. The traditional room with tatami mat flooring and the sliding doors with rice paper were so lovely. I enjoyed sleeping on the futon, which the staff comes and lays out for you in the evening. Beach access to Shirahama beach is almost perfect. The sea view room did not disappoint for views. The breakfast and supper buffets were the most diverse and wonderful I have ever experienced. They can get very busy and chaotic, however. The staff were.soooo helpful. The baths were very nice and I did not experience any busy-ness in them. Overall, a great and super unique experience!"

Shiraraso Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good things: Excellent location - it just a few steps to the Shirahama beach, and a bus stop just outside the hotel. Great staff at the check-in counter, room is clean and okay. Bad things: It's a dated hotel, the room is clean but the hallway (3rd floor) is a little bit smelly. The traditional restaurant mostly serves local Japanese, I don't feel wellcomed during our dinner time. Also, there was nobody to open the sliding door at the restaurant exit when we leave, but they did for the local Japanese."

Mercure Wakayama Kushimoto Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I liked everything except the bathroom, which badly needed some new hardware, water pressure was excellent. It's on top of the mountain be aware if you're coming from grueling hike. Very spacious room. Raised beds. Vending machines on floor 2, and water filling centers on every floor. Laundry room. Yes it was great."
