Wakayama Prefecture Holidays

We enjoyed our stay very much! The hotel is in a great location and was very quiet and comfortable. The staff was welcoming and friendly, and the bed was very comfortable. We were amused that the neighbor had a red Ferrari in the driveway! It was nice to stay in a local neighborhood with more schoolkids and less tourists. Easy walk to Nijo Castle and the Imperial Palace garden.

Our family of three really enjoyed our stay at MONday Apartment Hotel. There was plenty of space for the three of us and all our luggage (three large suitcases and three smaller bags). Beds were luxury firm and supportive. I especially appreciated the kitchenette, which allowed me to prepare simple breakfasts for the family each morning. There were also several convenience stores and a supermarket nearby with everything we needed. The location was good overall, although it was about a 7–10 minute walk to the nearest subway station, which could feel a little tiring after a long day of sightseeing. There also weren’t many restaurants within a five-minute walk, and it was about half a mile to the nearest family-friendly restaurant, such as Yayoi-Ken. We really liked the neighborhood’s hip, slightly hidden-gem feel, with independent coffee shops and bakeries tucked away in the surrounding streets. Kiyomizu-dera was also within walking distance, at roughly a 20-minute walk. The room itself was great, but my main complaint was an unpleasant, dirty-water smell coming from both the shower drain and the washing machine. The unit combines a washer and dryer, and the hotel provides detergent. The detergent worked well for our clothes, and we had no issues with skin irritation. However, the dryer was a different story. Although the clothes smelled fine after washing, using the dryer seemed to bake the smell into them. I just hung dry afterwards and didn’t use the dryer.

Very good hotel worth the price and cleanliness spot on

Good location two 24 hrs supermarkets (5-10 mins walk from hotel). Nice hotel and nice staff. Located very closely to shin-Osaka station so it makes traveling very convenient. There are large public baths for men and women on the second floor.
