Hotel Newpalace ★★★

"This hotel has a fantastic location as it is near to the Shingu station and the other key places of interests like the Hongu Taisha, Kumano Hayatama Taisha, Asuka Jinja Shrine and the Shingu Castle Ruin. Of course food and cafe are everywhere and some near the hotel. There is a nice cafe across the Jo to the left known as Tanpuku and a nice local Japanese home-cooked food restaurant know as Masaya. There are washing machines for use at 200¥. Some not so good areas are: 1. You can only have service or attention at 3pm. 2. No free coffee, tea or soft drinks (like Komenoi and Dormy Inn) 3. Drinking water is only from the tap. 4. Small Onsen pool that is rectangular in size for about 10-12 pax max. Check out my other reviews and you shall find some good recommendations for authentic Japanese cuisines. Ye"

Gran Hotel ★★★

"The air quality in the smoking room is very poor, even with the air purifier spray. The equipment is very old and all the supplies are of poor quality. Will not consider staying again next time"

Sunshine Hotel ★★

"Due to the age of the facility, satisfaction with the hygiene of the various facilities was low, but the staff were kind and polite, and the breakfast was better than expected considering the low cost of accommodation."

Shingu UI Hotel ★★★

"Good experience overall. The rooms are clean, well-maintained & comfortable though a bit dated. The city-center location is great and put us right where we needed to be."

Kokoyui Guesthouse Shingu ★★★

"Very pleasant stay experience, the room was clean and orderly, the facilities were complete, and we were impressed. Our 4 adults stayed just right, of course, we can live more people and make breakfast ourselves."

Takada Greenland Kumotori Onsen ★★

"This hotel is a good distance from the Kumano Kodo, but is really the only place to stay at this point in the journey. The staff were professional and kind, but did not answer the phone when we called to be picked up, so we ended up having to pay for a taxi ourselves. The onsen baths were also not working, but they gave us a discount for this and drove us to another hotel which provided a great experience. The village around the hotel is a beautiful place for a stroll in the evening."

Ajito Hostel & CafeBar ★★

"Completely self-service check-in, no front desk or staff."

MarketStay shingu ★★
