Find Mountain View Hotels in Matsumoto

Hotel is in the city center, right opposite to Matsumoto station. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Hotel is clean and has facilities. The bedsheets appear to be cleaned every day, but are not new. Rooms are equipped with AC, but don’t work as heater. Hotel being close to the station makes it very convenient for finding more dining and shopping options. Overall a very nice and comfortable place.

This hotel was booked as part of tour of Japan and we were there for only 1 night. As a solo traveller I was allocated a single room which was very small. It did however have a large bed which based on the space available was probably too big for the room. In order to get my case open to just get a small number of items I needed for one night I had to rearrange the chair and table so I could get the case open. The “closet” if you can call it that, was so small it only had 3 hangers and was probably only about 18inches wide right next to the door. I wouldn’t want to stay in this room more than one night. On the basis you pay a single supplement I find it poor that we solo travellers are given such small and inadequate rooms. In addition, as a tour from the UK, hardly anyone spoke English so it was hard to get the staff to understand when something went wrong, like my kettle which wasn’t working. In credit to the Reception staff, once I finally managed to get him to understand the problem he resolved it very quickly. Finally when we went to breakfast at 7.45am they were already full and we had to wait about 10 mins or so, then a number of the breakfast items had run out. There were 2 coach tours in and they didn’t seem to be able to cope or cater for the amount of people there. I did find the staff very friendly and helpful, so it certainly isn’t their fault. I wouldn’t recommend it for solo travellers.

Stayed at 2 Hoshino Kai resorts this trip and I would say the service at Kai Alps was much better than Kai Matsumoto. The food at Kai Matsumoto was very much better than Kai Alps though. So all in all, we really enjoyed staying at Hoshino resorts and cannot wait to explore more areas! When staying at Hoshino resorts, I really do recommend getting the special dinner and in room onsen.

We wanted to treat ourselves for an anniversary so booked in for a night. It is not cheap - we paid SGD 770 for the night, but it was a good experience all the way from check in to check out. The price includes dinner, which was plated beautifully and featured items like lobster sashimi, beef stew and bracken tempura. Breakfast was done buffet style and had both Japanese and Weatern dishes. There are onsens as well. We opted to pay 3000 yen for a private couple onsen for 45 minutes, but there are also public baths on the 4th floor. The bath on the 3rd floor, just off reception, switches between males in the morning and the ladies in the evening. The room was largish and I loved that the yukatas came in a variety of sizes. There is no room clean up till check out, but they do lay futon beds in the room. The room was well appointed and had a great view, small fridge, a safe, and coffee and tea making facilities. There was even a coffee bean grinder. There were ample power points. Wifi was okay though it did drop now and then. There are separate toilet and shower rooms. There is a souvenir cum general store in the lobby where you can even buy condensed milk ice cream. Staff are friendly and efficient. They do have a free shuttle bus from 5 pm at the Matsumoto train station to the hotel, and one the following morning at 9 am and 10 am back to the station.

The staff, service, facilities, and room were top notch. Once our stay was booked, we received an email questionnaire. We are both vegan and they accommodated our preference. asking for our preferences. You can select between Japanese and French cuisine. We both opted for Japanese. When we arrived, they staff greeted us kindly and it was a delightful surprise to be led into a room filled with Christmas decorations. We booked the ”Standard Zen Suite” and were not disappointed. It comes with your own private indoor-outdoor onsen. It was heaven. If you are new to onsen, they also provide helpful instructions upon arrival that you can read. It was my absolute favorite onsen experience. There are three different onsens for guests, each separated by gender. They also provide popsicles, hot/cold tea, in addition to the standard shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair tonic, skin lotion etc. When we were there they had two shuttles which ran from Matsumoto Station to pick you up. One at 3:15 pm and another at 4:30 pm. We would both love to return!

　Stayed on weekdays. It is a great inn with parking lots and hot springs. The day I stayed was ８ the view bath on the floor was assigned to the man hot water. On the ８ floor, there are open-air baths and jacuzzi, and during the daytime, the distant view is enjoyed, and there is a body in the hot spring. The next morning, when I asked for a departure, I brought the car to the entrance and prepared it. Next time I will come to enjoy only hot water slowly. Thank you for your care.

I chose this hotel on the return trip. The front desk staff was very enthusiastic and guided, leaving a good impression. ^_^

We stayed at a number of Ryokans of various price points throughout our honeymoon trip to Japan and this one was such a pleasant surprise. The decor has a throwback 70s-80s vibe that would suit a Wes Anderson film and the attitude is a nice mixture of traditional ryokan hospitality and modern style. The rooms are spacious for ryokans (which, warning to Americans, might feel smaller than western hotels), and the baths are just lovely. We used both the public and private baths, and enjoyed our time in both. If this hotel wanted to rebrand as a quirky, hip spot for young westerners they could, but you get the sense that they enjoy catering to their Japanese clientele and providing an affordable yet luxurious experience. We spent one night at a $600 a night ryokan and the experience between the two was honestly comparable. Furthermore, Matsumoto is a lovely town, and if you want to add a day trip to your Japanese itinerary do yourself a favor and stay at the beautiful Hotel Tamanoyu.

We stayed two nights in this Ryokan during our holiday in Japan. Matsumoto is a cosy and relaxed place, without the tourist crowds we experienced in other cities, staying in different hotels, who were all good, this Ryokan gave us a memorable experience. Everything was very well organized, the pick up from the station, the free bikes, the cleanliness of the place. The warm welcome from the hosts, the excellent way in which they took care of us during our stay. Making sure we could enkoy andrelax completely. Yesterday when we returned from our bicycle trip, during which we had a heavy rainshower and were completely soaked. The owner rushed out with umbrellas and his wife waited with towels and put newspapers in our wet shoes. This really felt as coming home! We tried both the Japanese and Western breakfast, they were both excellent. If you are staying in Matsumoto this the place we strongly recommend!

We stayed with our family, including our 3-year-old child. I was worried that it would be too difficult for children to stay at the hotel, and that children would be a nuisance, but we were very grateful that children were welcome. The room was spacious and the drinks in the refrigerator (beer, tea, juice) were free. The room was not cold and was a comfortable temperature. When you soak in the bathtub, your body warms up from the inside, so you don't feel particularly cold. The food was mountain vegetables and country cuisine, so I was worried about whether it would suit my taste, but it was all excellent. Even the mountain vegetables that I usually don't like were deliciously cooked and very tasty. I was also happy with the little thoughtful touch of the flowers picked that day that were served with the sake (sake tasting). The children were served rice and miso soup in the morning and evening, which was very helpful. The hot spring rice porridge for breakfast was excellent. The bath was, needless to say, the best. The milky white bathtub and the pleasant sulfur scent felt luxurious. There was also a diaper changing station in the large bath, so it was safe for children. The open-air bath can be reserved for 30 minutes free of charge. Unfortunately it was raining, but bathing under a hat was a memorable experience. It was a wonderful inn that was also child-friendly. I would definitely like to visit again.
