Best Matsuyama Hotels

"The room was clean and tidy, and the front desk service was excellent, especially the lady who spoke Chinese. Downstairs is a main street, making transportation very convenient. The streetcar goes directly to the JR station via the No. 2 express line. I visited many places like Imabari Castle, Baishinji Temple, Dogo Onsen, Matsuyama Castle, and Iyo-Ozu. I also stayed at a REI hotel in Takamatsu, which was quite good, just a bit smaller than this one."

"The REF Matsuyama City Station Hotel by VESSEL Hotels boasts an exceptionally prime location, right in the very heart of Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture. It's conveniently situated right next to Takashimaya department store and the city's iconic Ferris wheel 🎡, offering super easy access to both Matsuyama Castle and Shimonada Station. The room itself was quite spacious. This was my first time in Japan encountering a design where the washbasin was cleverly positioned outside the main bathroom area, which genuinely made the bathroom feel more expansive. The room also came equipped with a small table and two chairs, which was incredibly convenient. The breakfast was a particular highlight! There was a wide variety of delicious options, and everything tasted great. The sea bream sashimi, in particular, was incredibly fresh and succulent 😋. Among the five types of orange juice available, the 'Wenzhou Orange' was the sweetest – I highly recommend anyone visiting to try it! 🥳"

"This is my second time staying at this hotel and am extremely pleased to be a returning customer. I finished a big tour of Shikoku by bike in the last 13 days with a friend now just returned to the same hotel for a couple of relaxing days before heading back home. This hotel is at the heart of the Dogo district with great amenities, very friendly staff and top quality services. I’d like to thank two of the hotel staff, Medo Shuhei and Jay whom have been very helpful to assist our stay during our trip. I have no hesitation to recommend this hotel to my friends and would be more than happy to stay in the same hotel next time visiting Matsuyama."

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was exceptionally clean and offered a great view. It was also very quiet, which made it easy for me to relax and get some work done. Overall, a comfortable and peaceful environment, perfect for both rest and productivity. Highly recommended!"

"The bed and breakfast was satisfactory for this trip. The breakfast combines Japanese and Western styles, including curry rice, fried eggs, grilled fish, miso soup, etc. It is rich and delicious, bringing energy to the day. Although the room is not big, it is simple and clean in design, fully equipped, and the lighting and natural light create a comfortable atmosphere. The luggage was neatly placed, indicating a smooth check-in. The overall feeling is warm and relaxing, and it is a pleasant stay experience."

"The location is excellent, as it's right next to the Dogo Onsen Main Building. I was traveling alone, but the single room was larger and more comfortable than I expected, and it even had a massage chair that helped me relieve the fatigue of my travels. The hot springs were great, and the breakfast had a wide variety of dishes and was delicious. The all-you-can-drink mandarin juice was a nice touch. I was very satisfied with the hotel in every way."

"The staff at the front desk were efficient, though they came across as cold and reserved. The room was disappointing, with run-of-the-mill furniture/furnishings and a creaky chair. The lights were too dim. There was no view as the lower half of the window was blocked by a wall. On the other hand, the bathroom looked quite elegant and was kept clean. The location is great. There are plenty of dining & shopping options nearby. The hotel has a shopping mall on the lower floors and is next to Mitsukoshi Department Store and Okaido Shopping Street. The Okaido Tram Stop is down the street. The bus stop for the airport limousine is right in front of Mitsukoshi. Attractions such as Bansuiso, Saka no Ue no Kumo Museum and the cable car to Matsuyama Castle are all within walking distance."

"Location is a short walk from Dogo onsen station. The experience was amazing, rooms were huge and I was surprised to have a staff member show us around the room and explain the amenities available. The amount of hospitality is above and beyond any we've experienced at other places and ryokans. They also have a very beautiful outdoor garden, onsen and geta (traditional Japanese wooden shoes) and yukata to wear around the premises."

"Nice location. It's just like an ordinary Japanese hot spring hotel, the highlight is the hot spring pool on the top floor, where you can look up at the stars at night. The dinner was average (felt like a group meal). As other reviews suggested, if you don't have a meal package, you can go to the hot spring street to eat and you might have a better experience."

"The free shuttle from Matsuyama Airport provides easy access to the accommodation. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, which was a real treat. The welcome farewells upon check-in and check-out were delightful, with soap bubbles and a gong ringing. The sea bream sashimi and steak served at the buffet were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy the seven large public baths, nestled in the mountains, surrounded by nature. My wife was especially delighted by the anniversary specials, which included a private bath, a surprise cake, and a yukata. I'd love to bring my mother back for another hot spring bath, and if you're using the private bath, be sure to try the floating sake. It'll make for a romantic evening."
