Grand Mercure Wakayama Minabe Resort & Spa

“Love place highly recommend”

I have been in Wakayama serval times this is the one of the best hotel. Old name is Daiwa Royal Hotel. Last Royal family stayed here. we chose suite room so it was huge nice food and hot spring staff speak serval language helping but you need the car to move love to come again

“Just alright for 2 nights”

It's clean, remote but quiet. but pillows are too small and the beds are a bit hard. Got backache in the morning. They dont have any drinks inside the fridge but you can purchase from the vendor machine in the corridor.

“Comfortable one night stay”

My 70+ year old mother and I stayed at this hotel just for a night on 23 March 2018. We were part of a 20 pax tour group travelling around Central Japan so I’m not sure how much it costed us for that night (we paid a lump sum for the entire tour package).

My 70+ year old mother and I stayed at this hotel just for a night on 23 March 2018. We were part of a 20 pax tour group travelling around Central Japan so I’m not sure how much it costed us for that night (we paid a lump sum for the entire tour package). On first impressions, the room is very spacious and, the 2 beds in our room were each bigger than a single bed. The room also has an electric kettle to boil water and a mini-fridge. In the bathroom, toiletries were provided, which included shampoo, conditioner and body soap in large bottles next to the shower area. It also has a heated towel seat. However, there was no body lotion/moisturizer in the room (such lotion/moisturizer is provided at the onsen facility though). The hotel has a hot spring (onsen) facility which was better (in comparison to the other one we been at Loisir Hotel Toyohashi). This was because the changing area had individual lockers to store away your belongings and it was much bigger. The hotel room has yukatas for you to change into when you go down to the hot spring facility. The temperature of the hot spring water was around 40-43 degrees, it is not recommended that you stay for very long. Dinner and breakfast were provided but I’m not sure if it was the typical hotel breakfast prepared for the local tourists, as we were hosted in a very large banquet room with several other tour groups. There was a good variety of hot and cold dishes of international (bread, salad etc) and Japanese cuisine (sushi, miso soup etc), and even included fried noodles and hot rice. Overall, it was a clean and decent hotel. I’ll give it 4 stars!

“Great 1 night stay. Live the onsen”

I was a little worried when I read some reviews. So relieved and happy that we had a great stay. We had transport and stayed for one night only so location is not an issue.

We stayed at Kishu Minabe Royal hotel as 2 families in 2 rooms They had great views The rooms were big and adequate for 2 adults 2 kids but even thou there was plenty of space the bathroom was curiously small Unfortunately the rooms reeked of cigarette smoke which made being in them unpleasant I do not recommend this hotel to westerners The woman who served us at the desk was friendly enough but the rest of the staff seemed unwilling to help and we were given incorrect information about the onsen We booked this hotel primarily to use the onsen but were rudely turned away as we are tattooed This piece of information should be highlighted in the hotels information prior to booking This was very disappointing for us There is a games room which we enjoyed with the children of course it is not free however and takes coins The hotel is also very far from anything at all It required a taxi ride to any convenience stores and train station approx ¥1300 The cafe in the lobby only opens till 6 and they do not do take away or room service so there is not much available for children to eat outside of this time You also are not allowed to ordered any outside delivery to the hotel overall we perceived the hotel mainly caters to Japanese and we wouldn't recommend it to anyone or stay again
