Gran Hotel Reviews

Great stay! Delicious breakfast and free parking made it even better.

Facilities are a bit out of date, but clean. Location is good and the staffs are very helpful!

Choosing Shingu as the cross-regional travel for this Wakayama trip, the hotel selection should be said to be the most successful point. Although the Grand Hotel is relatively far from Shingu Station, it wins in its beautiful surrounding environment. A small river (Nishiichi River) is directly opposite the hotel. There is an Aeon store about one kilometer along the small river, which has rich items and can be visited. There is also a down-to-earth supermarket opposite the left side of the hotel, which is also very good. There are also many things to do around. The most attractive thing is a karaoke store mainly for students opposite the hotel, perfect 😍. The beauties and uncles at the hotel front desk are very gentle. It was a pleasant travel experience. The hotel scored 100 points. By the way, there is also a store selling Yakinshyo nearby, which is delicious 😋.

As a place to stay in Shingu City, it is a good place to stay. The distance from Shingu Station is acceptable. You can store your luggage to prepare for the next day's Kumano Kodo hike. You can take the bus line around the hotel to the starting points of the hike such as Kumano Hongu Taisha or Hoshinmon Prince, so you don't have to go to Shingu Station specifically. There is an evergreen large supermarket around the hotel, which has all kinds of fresh food and daily necessities. The hotel is clean and tidy, and the breakfast is Japanese standard.

The 3 out of 4 stars rating is also an objective evaluation. After all, it is an old hotel and the facilities are still a bit old. I stayed in a Japanese-style room and the bathroom is outside the room. I still want to remind people who want to stay here to pay attention to this. Also, the odor in the bathroom is still a bit strong. In addition, the hotel is not close to the JR station, and it takes a long time to walk there. Taking a taxi is not an option in Japan. In addition to the above, the hotel still has many advantages: (1) High cost performance (2) The Japanese-style room is very large (3) The service is very good (4) The surrounding area is considered to be a relatively lively area in Shingu, and there is also a large supermarket nearby, which is very convenient. So, in general, I personally recommend this hotel.

It is perfect for business use. There is a parking lot on the premises, which was very convenient. Although it is a little far from the station, there are many facilities nearby, so I think it is a very convenient location.

I stayed in a triple room, which was large and clean. But the toilet and bathroom are outside the room. Breakfast was very simple. Superior. There is a convenience store opposite. The price/performance ratio is acceptable.

The location is a bit far from JR. It takes 10 minutes to walk. It is close to a large supermarket and restaurants for shopping. The facilities are relatively old and the sound insulation is not very good. The door needs to be locked with a key. The service is good and they try their best to solve my problem. There is a free washing machine and no choice for breakfast.

The hotel is about 15 minutes' walk from Shingu Station, not too far or too close. I found out before checking out that there were free 28-inch bicycles available. The service staff was very friendly and basically answered all my questions.

The most comfortable hotel to stay in on the Kumano Koro Road. The location is very good, and it is very convenient to take a bus. There is a Family Mart and a large supermarket next to it. There are many places to eat nearby, and I especially recommend the barbecue next to the hotel! The breakfast is also very good~

The room was quite big, the service was very good. It was not marked as a non-smoking room when booking. When I checked in, there was only one night available, but I was still given a non-smoking room for one night. I changed it the next day. The hotel is a little far from the train station, 1.2 kilometers on foot. The breakfast is relatively simple, basically Japanese style. The partitions used in the restaurant during the epidemic are still there. The waitress was very persistent and would not let me in unless I put disinfectant on my hands.

The toilet is a bit leaky and not very busy. The room is big and you can rent bicycles for free. The breakfast is delicious.

When I booked, all the hotels near Shingu Station were sold out, and I didn't want to stay in a tatami-style B&B, so I chose Gran, which is a 16-minute walk from Shingu Station. There are fewer street lights at night. The hotel itself is quite old, and physical keys are used. There is only a large ceiling light in the room, but the hygiene is very good, there are enough sockets, and the service staff are very friendly. There is a microwave and two washing machines. The notice in the elevator said that laundry is free. You can get toothpaste and toothbrushes next to the elevator on the first floor, and there are also a few packs of Pola facial cleanser trial packs. The breakfast is very simple, sliced ​​bread, raw eggs, cooked eggs, rice, miso soup, potato salad, and brewed coffee. There are few restaurants nearby, but there is a large supermarket across the road, which is open until 9 o'clock. Sashimi is cheap, and I saw DHC lip balm for only 350, while other places are 699.

Because it was Golden Week, the breakfast area was hectic and some ingredients ran out, which was a bit disappointing. Other than that, it was a good hotel.
