Matsuyama hotels

Pros: Rooms are very large: more a suite. Wonderful onsen: wooden stools and bowls, no plastic here. Wonderful indoor and outdoor pools. Very helpful pleasant staff. Footbath in garden is gorgeous. On main tram routes and next to the Dogo Onsen so easy to get around town. Luxurious, sparkling clean and comfortable.

Cons: I do not like having to say the night before when I shall want breakfast (or, come to that, what I shall want): makes me feel part of a tour rather than an independent traveller. A very minor niggle. I think they have a fair number of groups so perhaps set up to cater for them. Friend in Western-style room said it could do with sprucing up a bit and was not as shiny as our Japanese style room.

Pros: Funaya is in close proximity of Dogo Onsen. It has a nice garden accessible from the hotel and through the exit gate one can go to Dogo Park. The twin room with tatami area was very spacious and a simply furnished balcony.

Cons: It was a little expensive.

Pros: It is a beautiful property with onsen and a garden. The emperor has stayed here on the past. The room was just lovely with a separate living area from the bedroom and a huge bathroom. Lots of amenities. It is very close to Dogo onsen. The staff were so kind and helpful in finding what we needed.

Cons: Can’t think of a thing!

Pros: Super clean and large rooms. Warm & welcoming staff. The onsen was really nice & clean. The garden is an oasis of tranquility. It was nice that we had a balcony and could open the windows. The location was right in Dogo Onsen and it was nice that one could walk around in the Yukata in the town and visit other onsen. The breakfast was really nice.

Cons: It was a bit expensive. One could expect that dinner would be included in the price.

The rooms are clean and even when you don't ask for a maid to fix your room that day they still give you a bag with clean towels. The tram stop is not even 2 min away, the same as the JR station. Matsuyama City station is also within walking distance if you prefer not using the tram all the time.

Cons: There was nothing I didn’t like.

Pros: This was our luxury stay from budget hostels and capsule hotels and it did not dissapoint. The moment you walk in you feel like you're in a luxourius paradise. The entrance is so pretty and staff were very friendly. They provided us with a abundance of information about using the Dogo Onsen next door (litteraly located right across the small street and it is tattoo friendly) The whole building smelt wonderuful with heaps of fresh flowers all over the place. There is a shopping strip nearby and lovely little restuarants. You had the option to collect a larger Yukata from reception. We utulized the option to have our traditional breakfast and that was an interesting experience. While it wasn't too my taste of a breakfast meal (I'm sorry, it's because I've grown up with bread and cereal) it was really great to try this new experience!!

Cons: We had some trouble finding a point for us to charge our phones. Some power points or USB ports near the bed would be good. I wasn't sure how to wear the Yukatah and I could have used a "How to wear a Yukata for dummies" (or I could not be lazy and google it)

Pros: Just a few meters away from the Dogo onset.

Pros: excellent location of 道後溫泉，also it owns parking lot (very important)

Japanese style ryokan traditional dinner and breakfast. great onsen both indoor and outdoor. we enjoyed very much our stay. while we had problem to get a cab to the train station the owner took us with his private car.

Pros: Nothing

Pros: Breakfast buffet was ok though entirely Japanese.

Cons: Rooms (we used two on different dates) were VERY 'compact'. We had three suitcases and had to step over them to go to toilet. There was in the smaller room, a rather useful washing machine on top of the fridge, though there wasn't one in the slightly larger room. Location was good but we had a terrible time finding it because nowhere on outside did it say "Hotel Sambancho" - the name on the discrete entrance was "Check-in"

Pros: The staff was very friendly and helpful, provided another pillow since I had allergies. Free coffee and a nice public bath for men. Conveniently located

Cons: The hotel is a bit old and sometimes not very clean, especially the ladies public bath doesn't feel clean with bad odors in the corridor going in. The room was clean but the little private bathroom could use a more thorough cleaning.

Pros: Allmost very gooood next time ,, 再豫约

Cons: ~ in room tea set (茶粉) bad taste think about another ~~ advice ,,,, tea bag type

Pros: The hotel is in the center of Matsuyama right next to the main shopping street. There are a lot of restaurants and izakayas around the hotel. The staff is very friendly, there is free coffee at the reception and there are free umbrellas (which is great in case of a typhoon).

Cons: There aren't any real windows in the rooms which makes it feel a little depressing.

Pros: Good location, Nice price breakfast, Free bath onsen on 10F.

Cons: Our room had 2 queen size beds. But room was too tiny. Toilet is tiny too.

Pros: have a good hot spring

Cons: twin bed room is very cramped

Pros: Free shuttle from Dogo Onsen station. Friendly staff though most don’t speak any English.

Cons: The furniture were old and outdated. The cupboard door was already broken. The hotel really needs some work.

Pros: The onsen facilities are good with a variety of pools. The water quality is also good.

Pros: Far from the city centre, but has a shuttle service. The Onsen is the best we have yet seen in Japan. The buffet has a wide range of delicacies.

Cons: Regular rooms are very much run down, take seriously the 2 stars. Extremely overpriced, both the rooms & food. Pictures do not represent the reality (except for the onsen) at all!!!

Pros: Clean and affordable

Cons: Slightly far to walk to the station

Pros: It was all about the people. English wasn't popular but every effort was made to properly communicate with us, make us feel welcomed and send us off on recommended excursions well prepared. I would be happy to return to this hotel some day. Hope I do!

Cons: More English. Offer a hard and a soft pillow for guest to select what they need for good rest.

Pros: Comfy bed and very good location.

Cons: Sadly no English but this was to be expected.

Pros: location is good， bathroom is clean

Pros: Staffs; good lights in toilet.

Pros: Staff were excellent. Located close to Matsuyama JR Station and streetcar stop.

Cons: Hotel is getting quite old, rundown and dated. In desperate need of a refurbishment. Bed was uncomfortable with creaking springs.

Pros: Convenient location, very close to jr station

Cons: The room is small and hotel is old fashioned

Pros: Only the position

Cons: Can’t even stand in the shower

Pros: Hotel Kajihara is a clean, value hotel across from Matsuyama Station and located on the tram line. It is walking distance to retail stores and an excellent grocery store. Matsuyama is safe, clean, and quiet.

Cons: My room could have been slightly larger. The common walls are thin - which could be an issue if the people in adjoining rooms were noisy.

Pros: Very helpful staff and very near to the JR station

Pros: Impeccable service, clean white sheets and signature white soft towels (I suspect made in the famed towel city of Imabari), daily housekeeping, complete breakfast meal, basic amenities one might need and just a stone's throw away from the JR Matsuyama train as well as the tram station is why I love Japanese business hotels. Definitely value for money for all these conveniences and the privacy it affords. Absolutely perfect for my needs!

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Good location and cheap hotel

Cons: Basic and small room

Pros: The hotel was pretty close to one of the street car stations, which made it comforatble to reach. Because the ropeway that goes up the the castle was in walking distance to the hotel, that was the first place I walked to. Even though the hotel is located at a somewhat busy street, I did not hear much of the noise.

Pros: Perfect for backpackers who want to occasionally stay alone. Friendly staff, free laundry and bike, microwave available at the floor I stayed. All worth to the money!

Pros: If you're familiar with the tram routes, it's pretty easy to get from JR Matsuyama Station to the hotel via tram, and it's cheap to travel to the various attractions in the city (the various shopping districts, the onsens etc). The room was a bit small, but comfortable, and was quite clean too.

Cons: I wanted to have breakfast on the day I was due to check out, so I work up early to head to the hotel restaurant, but it was closed for some reason... In addition, the lamp by the bed stopped working while I was out - it was fine when I checked in, but when I got back after a full day's worth of exploring (during which I gave the staff permission to tidy my room), it just wouldn't turn on.

Pros: I had a great stay in this hotel. Sure the room was very small but it was clean and with a comfy bed. You can rent a bike for free and anytime, which is so convenient in Matsuyama! Also enjoyed washing my clothes for free too. I think the location is pretty convenient, with the bike you can go anywhere, close to Okaido and Dogo Onsen.

Cons: I wish they would offer breakfast, even a small selection, as there isn't anything nearby for a proper breakfast.
