Stayed for 2 nights. The owner was very polite. The room and bathroom were very clean. The disadvantage is that the lobby is very small.

This store is close to the station and has a clean feel. The male staff was very friendly.It wasn't easy to unpack our luggage because the common space was small, but we were fortunate that there was only one other group of guests, perhaps because it was right after the typhoon.

I recently stayed at Kukuru, a charming capsule hotel conveniently located near Wakayama Station, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. The first thing that struck me was the affordability of the place, especially considering its prime location. Being so close to the station made it incredibly easy to get around, and I appreciated how many convenience stores and restaurants were just a short walk away.The hotel itself is a haven of peace and quiet, perfect for getting a good night’s sleep after a day of exploring. The capsules are modern, clean, and surprisingly spacious, offering all the essentials you need for a comfortable stay. Despite being in a shared space, the design ensures a sense of privacy and personal space, which I found quite impressive.Cleanliness is clearly a top priority at Kukuru. The bathrooms and common areas were spotless, and the staff was always friendly and ready to help with any requests. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is relaxed and inviting, making it a great place to unwind.If you’re visiting Wakayama and looking for a budget-friendly yet comfortable place to stay, I highly recommend Kukuru. Its combination of convenience, cleanliness, and tranquility makes it a standout choice for both solo travelers and those on a tight schedule. I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip!

Very well placed and very well located. Clean, spacious and cheap. The only thing is that the pillows are so thin that it's like having nothing. Keep in mind that it does not have a washer/dryer, but it does have a 24 hour 5'. Advisable.

The owner is friendly and the room is clean. However, when I woke up to see if there were mosquitoes, I got bitten on my leg. The number of showers and toilets is sufficient and comfortable! It's good haha. However, there are no shared rooms and only a very small lobby, so it's a bit inconvenient to bring food to eat. I quietly ate the food I bought at the supermarket next to a Japanese man who was working on his laptop, probably on a business trip.
