Good and clean accommodation
A very modern (almost German style) accommodation, very different than what you will stay at during the remainder of the trip. However it was a useful starting point in Tanabe in order to rest completely for the journey ahead.

Good location.
The accommodation is conveniently located, only a 5-to-10-minute walk from the train and bus stations. While breakfast starts at 6:00 AM, I would suggest or appreciate it if the start time could be moved up by 15 to 30 minutes to ensure guests can make the first bus heading to Takijiri-ōj

Perfect Location for starting the Kumano Kodo Trail the next day
The guesthouse is quite new, everything is very clean. It is near to different bars and restaurants, to the station and even to the beach.

comfortable & convenient stay before Kumano Kodo
The hotel is located just a short walk from the train station and our room was comfortable and convenient for a one-night stay before embarking on the Kumano Kodo. Breakfast was good with plenty of options.

Don’t let a bad photo fool you
I was not sure about this choice, it’s what was available. Turns out to be a very new, impecable modern accomodation. Comparable to a higher end Holiday Inn for those who are familiar with the US chain. It is only a three minute walk from the station and all the restaurants, and convinient to visit local shrines and the staff is very kind and helpful. Light breakfast provided: certainly not enough on its own for the day ahead, so make sure you pack snack for the hike ahead.

Great place to start your Kumano Kodo trip
We stayed here for one night before beginning our Kumano Kodo hike. We wanted a place with a private bathroom and easy access to Kii-Tanabe station, and this hotel fit both those criteria while also being reasonably priced. We also enjoyed the yummy breakfast they provided, which was great before a long day of hiking.

Arrived in Tanabe at midday and while check out not until later the hotel was kind enough to hold my luggage and take it to my room while I went out to discover Tanabe! Pleasant friendly staff, new neat rooms and a great location!

Great location
The hotel is a short walk to the station making it a good location for starting your trip. For a smooth commute, keep an eye out for the pedestrian / bike path on your way to the hotel. Once you leave head down the street for the station you'll see it on your right. This will save you from walking on the narrow street.

One night stay, for a Group of 7, the night before Kumano Kodo, Nakahechi route
The Hotel Kii Tanabe was very friendly, helpful and our one night stay was very comfortable. Access to the Ajikoji district, the JR station and buses, was very convenient. The free Breakfast was more than we expected, thanks 👍😀

Convenient and clean
Hotel Kii Tanabe is a new and clean hotel, located next to the train line and within five to ten minute walk from the bus station and train station. It doesn't have much character but is more than adequate and very convenient for the night before starting the trek. Our only complaint was that there was no way to control the air conditioning in the room. It was an unusually warm day so our room was very stuffy and we were not able to change the A/C controls to cool it down.
