Matsuyama hotels

Being a first time visit to Matsuyama, my first priority was location. Approx 10-15 min walk down the main street from JR Matsuyama station or short tram ride (160 Yen). Had a nice room overlooking the park with a great view of Matsuyama castle in the distance. Most impressive feature for a Japanese hotel is plenty of floor space for placing luggage. Experiencing Dogo onsen is a must (don't just take photo's from outside). The ropelift to Matsuyama castle is convenient though only a short ride. Trams are easy to ride and most places are walkable. Day passes for around 400 yen are good value as it is very convenient to catch trams around the city. There is a tasty izakaya style restaurant nearby called Kippei, featuring various bbq skewer items. Just ask for omakase (chef's selection). 10 skewers (or more) per person provides a sufficient meal. English is limited however the staff are very friendly and helpful.

There is enough parking area at the hotel. Staffs were very nice, comfy bed, convenience store just across the road. Though not much restaurant nearby!

Our room for 3 people can actually fit a family of 5 since there are two double beds. The facilities are up to date and look relatively new. The Matsuyama Castle and shopping area are just around the corner. We drove there (hotel covers parking till 10am for 1000 yen) so I am not sure about the commute from train or subway stations. But there is a train stop right outside that goes to Dogo Onsen which is just 10 mins away.

The hotel was within easy walking distance of the tram station at Dogo Onsen. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, as were many people around Matsuyama. We had chosen a Japanese style room, which was large and comfortable, resulting in a very good night's sleep. Little Things, such as the tea on arrival and late night snacks left in your room were a nice touch. The hotel Onsen was quiet, well kept and very relaxing. The following morning, breakfast was great. Plenty of food and drinks brought to your table, including a surprisingly good and very creamy scrambled eggs in an omelet. There are a few cosmetic improvements that could be made, but overall the hotel is very comfortable and good value, when compared to other onsen hotels. The location is good, the food good and it's very friendly. I would and will definitely return.

The hotel provides stylish yukatas and sandles for visiting the onsen, which is just across the road. Also excellent location for restaurants and shopping and is close to the tram stop. An English speaking staff member was especially helpful and reserved seats for us on the bus to Osaka. The hotel is smart and stylish.

Very good as a whole spacious room and excellent bath room
