3-Star Hotels in Matsuyama

Since it was my first time traveling to a small town, I didn't have high expectations for the accommodation. I had heard that business accommodations are often small, so I booked this place intending to use it only for sleeping and showering. The toilet and shower were separate, and the kitchen facilities included a microwave, kettle, refrigerator, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, etc. It felt just like renting a regular house. It got plenty of sunlight and was located in a quiet area, making it a pleasant place to stay the entire time. I had such a great time that I would love to stay here again if I visit next time!

Amazing accommodation nearby key tourist sites and shopping areas in Matsuyama. It’s a 5-minute walk to the Okaido shotengai and 10 minutes to the ropeway/cable car station for Matsuyama Castle. Dogo Onsen is a 15-20 minute tram ride away. The rooms are clean, well-kept, and decently sized (by Japanese standards). The staff are courteous and professional. The breakfast is fantastic with many different options.

I stayed here on a solo trip. I felt that the rooms were very clean, compared to other local business hotels. The bath, toilet and sink were also very clean! The hotel is also located right in front of the JR station and the tram stop. The photo was taken from the hotel looking at Matsuyama Station. Dogo Onsen, Okaido and Matsuyama Castle are all easily accessible from the tram stop right in front of the hotel. Bicycles were available for free rental.

I arrived earlier than check-in time, but the two men at the reception desk were kind enough to let me check in in advance and store my luggage for me. The location was close to Matsuyama Castle and Dogo Onsen, and it was easy to get around by tram, so it was very convenient. I was alone, but I had a comfortable semi-double room. The breakfast was thoughtful, with vinegar drinks and curry.

Attention Henro sama! Perfect stay almost across street from T49. I had walked that day from T46. Onsen use included with hotel stay. Onsen water hot and alkaline slimy, my legs feel so much better after an evening and a morning soak.  Breakfast was of wide selection, very satisfying. Stand up shower stall a bonus! Drip coffee machine in room also a nice touch. Very smart, modern hotel.

Although the price is cheap, considering the guest room, the facilities are not very good. There are no individual lockers to put the suitcase, and you can't put the curtains on the individual bed and turn on the lights. The location is good and the facilities are clean.

The location is excellent, very close to the JR station, making it super convenient. While the room was a bit on the small side, it was impeccably clean. A really nice touch was the self-service amenity bar on the second floor, offering a wide variety of toiletries. Very thoughtful!

It was nice that the inside of the building had a white-based atmosphere and was clean. At check-in, I was recommended to take a ticket for a nearby hot spring facility, but I decided to use the bath in the room. The bathtub was deep and the bathroom itself was able to relax with a size that could not be considered in other hotels. The room was also large and comfortable! The wind was strong when checking out, so the front desk was worried about the wind and the response was nice

The hotel facilities are a bit old and the rooms are on the small side, but it was fine considering the affordable price, and I really liked that the front desk staff were incredibly friendly! They even showed me to a parking spot and waved goodbye all the way up in the elevator.

If you're a foreigner you might have some troubles communicating but the staffs will do their best so no worries. The hotel is a bit on the old side but overall still great. If you bring a car then parking is next to the hotel at 900 yen per night.
