I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it. The room was spacious, comfortable, and very relaxing. The bed was especially comfortable, allowing me to get a great night's sleep. I also really liked the newly renovated bathroom, and having the toilet in a separate room was a thoughtful and convenient design. The breakfast exceeded my expectations, offering a wide variety of delicious food with plenty of choices to suit different tastes. One of the highlights of my stay was the complimentary free-flow drinks available in both the morning and the evening. It was a very generous service and made the stay even more enjoyable. The onsen facilities were excellent—clean, relaxing, and well maintained. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. Although the hotel is a little farther from the main sightseeing areas, I found that the quality of the facilities, the comfort, and the excellent service made it absolutely worth staying here. I would gladly choose this hotel again on my next visit.

Thank you very much for staying with us and for taking the time to share your wonderful review. We are truly delighted to hear that you had such a comfortable and relaxing stay with us. It is especially rewarding to know that you enjoyed your spacious room, the comfortable bed, and the renovated bathroom. We are also pleased that the separate toilet layout contributed to a more convenient stay. We are thrilled that our breakfast exceeded your expectations and that you appreciated the variety of dishes available. It is also wonderful to hear that you enjoyed our complimentary free-flow drinks and found them to be a highlight of your stay. Your kind comments about our onsen facilities are greatly appreciated. We are delighted that you were able to relax and unwind during your visit. While our hotel is located a little away from the main sightseeing areas, we are honored that you found the comfort, facilities, and service well worth the stay. Your recommendation and your words, "I would gladly choose this hotel again," are the greatest encouragement to all of us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Wakayama.

The hotel had a wonderful view of the ocean and was generous with the happy hour duration and the variety of drinks and snacks. However the condition of junior suites can be improved with a renovation as carpets were stained and the room had musky smell. I requested for a change in room and refund of difference of room change have not been reflected in my credit card bills since 4 days ago. The timing for closure of dining hours at both breakfast and dinners were also not adhered to. both dining were closed 15 mins before actual verbal and written communicated timing.

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the ocean view as well as our happy hour offerings, including the variety of drinks and snacks. At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the condition of the Junior Suite and for any inconvenience caused during your stay. Your comments regarding the room condition have been shared with the relevant team for review and improvement. Regarding the room change and billing, after discussing the matter with you during your stay, we changed your reservation from the originally booked Suite Room to a lower-priced room category and completed the settlement based on the revised room rate with your confirmation at the hotel. Therefore, no separate refund transaction was processed, as the final charge reflected the adjusted room rate at the time of payment. We also appreciate your comments regarding the restaurant operating hours. We will review our procedures to ensure that the communicated dining hours are consistently observed and that guests can enjoy their meals without feeling rushed. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Grand Mercure Wakayama Minabe Resort & Spa

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the ocean view from our hotel. On the other hand, we apologize that the lounge area felt too crowded during your stay and that the variety of snacks did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your valuable comments and will share them with our team as we continue working to improve our guest experience. Thank you once again for your feedback. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Grand Mercure Wakayama Minabe Resort & Spa

Koji K. Business - 6/5/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

1. It was very awkward to keep facing a female staff sitting nearby the entrance of the men’s bath while I was walking toward there after I went through the first door. Why is she there?? I don’t think it’s necessary. 2. I felt extremely embarrassed when a female staff suddenly came into the men’s bath and talked to me (totally naked) reminding the closing time 30 minutes prior. It was unnecessary. If necessary, remind us just 5 minutes prior to the closing time. 3. A female staff started cleaning in the changing room 15 minutes prior to the closing time. Why couldn’t she wait 15 minutes?? 4. The front desk staff made an error in the date of the payment receipt.

Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the discomfort and embarrassment you experienced during your visit to the men's bath area. In particular, the presence of a female staff member near the entrance, entering the men's bath to announce the closing time, and beginning cleaning activities before the facility had closed were all situations that should have been handled with greater consideration for our guests' privacy and comfort. We also apologize for the error on your payment receipt issued by our front desk staff. We take your comments very seriously and will use them as an opportunity to strengthen staff training and review our operational procedures to ensure greater awareness of guest privacy, appropriate timing of facility announcements, and accuracy in guest services. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention. We appreciate your valuable feedback and will work to improve our service moving forward. Grand Mercure Wakayama Minabe Resort & Spa
