Hotel Matsuyama Hills
Close to Matsuyama station and 10 minutes walk to the restaurant areas. A bit old but the internals have been renewed somewhat and it felt clean enough for us. Free breakfast and large public bath (as well as private bathroom) is also an added bonus.

Candeo Hotels Matsuyama Okaido
청결도에 예민한 편인데 객실이 불편함없이 잘 정돈 및 청소가 되어있어 3박 묵는 동안 편안히 지냈습니다. 성인 둘 아이 둘 지내기에 방도 좁지 않았습니다. 추가로 필요한 물품들 요청에도 잘 대응해주셨으며 친절했습니다. 대욕장도 넓진 않았으나 훌륭했습니다. 또 마쓰야마에 가게된다면 재방문 하고싶어요 ^^
