Our take
This is the clearest pick on this list for anyone whose priority is proximity to Wakayama Castle itself, a one-minute walk that no other property on this list can match. Its exceptional 9.4 two-person location score reflects that positioning, and guests get real amenities like a coin launderette and a choice of pillows, though the eight-minute drive to JR Wakayama Station is longer than the pure station-block hotels elsewhere on this list.
- Walk to Wakayama Castle first thing in the morning before crowds build, since the one-minute distance makes an early visit genuinely easy.
- Use the coin launderette on site if staying multiple nights rather than packing extra clothing.
- Book a taxi or allow extra time for the eight-minute drive to JR Wakayama Station if catching an early train.

Why guests love itDaiwa Roynet Hotel Wakayama sits a one-minute walk from Wakayama Castle, and that location is the reason I would book it for a sightseeing stay in the city. The Western-style rooms come with free Wi-Fi and a choice of pillows, and six restaurants are close by for dinner. A coin launderette on site suits multi-night trips, and massages are available at extra cost. JR Wakayama Station is about eight minutes away by car, so rail-focused travellers may prefer a station hotel. Across 1,384 reviews it scores 8.9.
