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 ๐ก, 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 ๐. Among the five types of orange juice available, the 'Wenzhou Orange' was the sweetest โ I highly recommend anyone visiting to try it! ๐ฅณ
Very close to the station, just a few steps away without luggage. The hotel has free drinks, but the selection is relatively small. The hotel opened last year, so everything is new and the design is relatively modern. The bed and toilet are relatively large, but there is not much standing space in the room, and the suitcases are not easy to open. The bathhouse is also designed in a relatively modern way, and the water temperature feels about 43 degrees, which is quite hot. I was the only one eating this morning, and the waiter kept bringing the dishes to my side and asked if I wanted more, which was very enthusiastic. In the end, I really couldn't eat anymore. There are some local cuisines.
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 room was spacious and clean, so I was very satisfied. The bath in the building (additional charge) was also great. It's a bit disappointing that you can't use it if you have a tattoo. The bar on the top floor was also great. The breakfast was a buffet with a wide variety and was delicious.
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 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.
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. Iโd 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.
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.
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.

DDaily happyDuring my recent trip to Japan, I had the pleasure of staying at a hotel that also serves as a wedding venue and from the moment I arrived, the level of service was simply impeccable. The staff were not only gracious and professional, but also went out of their way to assist me at every turn, despite my lack of Japanese language skills. Their warm hospitality left a lasting impression and made me feel truly welcomed and cared for.
Though the room was compact, it was exceptionally clean and thoughtfully arranged. As a solo traveler, I found the space more than sufficient โ cozy, comfortable, and a fantastic value for the price. It truly struck the perfect balance between affordability and quality.
A special mention goes to the amenities: the hotel provides a well-stocked amenity station at the reception, where guests can freely pick up whatever they need a detail that reflects the hotelโs attention to guest convenience.
While the location is a little removed from the city center, this wasnโt an issue at all for me, as I had a rental car. The added bonus? Free parking on-site, which made my stay even more convenient and budget-friendly.
Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations in so many ways. With its blend of elegant ambiance, exceptional service, and thoughtful touches, it became a peaceful and comfortable base for my journey โ one I would gladly return to and wholeheartedly recommend to fellow travelers.
VVictorI was there at Jan 2024, and only stayed there for 2 days.
The staff there can speak English, and were nice. The second day I stayed there, the staff offered me to have hotpot with all the other people living in Fujiya, an unforgettable experience I treasured and will forever remembered. Even though it is a proxy of a Japanese family, it did feel like I have experienced the Japanese hospitality and friendliness. There were some interesting characters, who may or may not frequented Fujiya, whom I had the pleasure to have this hotpot together.
The facilities are not the best, but the basics necessities were there and no complaining from me, they have an AC there, comfortable enough for me.
The staff did explain that there is only one shower, so we might have to wait for the person to finish. However, since the location is so close to Dogo Onsen, they did recommend to go there instead, and after all, it was why i chose this location in the first place. Location is really close to the Dogo Onsen and the Yuzuki-Castle ruin, which was a lifesaver for me
I would say that all other sight-seeing locations are within walking distance as well since I did walk to all those interesting places. However, I do realize not all people like to walk like I do. To counter that, Fujiya is practically next to the tram station, which you can use it to go to many places in the city.
tldr, would recommend
CCHINOn New Year's Eve, I came to Nagahama and stayed in this hotel. When I dislocated the Sakamoto dragon horse, the last stop in the four countries was a must-visit place for travelers who loved the history of the end of the curtain and the restoration of Sakamoto dragon horse.
The hostess is very hospitable, and has a rich culture of history, fully appreciates the politeness, culture and introvertedness of the Japanese.
Breakfast is traditional Japanese food, I and my travel companions like it very much, because it is the New Year, the hostess also specially cooked the New Year's limited ใ stew.
Changbin town is a very quiet and beautiful place, rich house gold guard guard is the best memory in this town.
GGuest UserThe fresh fish was not simply served on a large platter, but was carefully cooked and served one by one, like in a small restaurant. I was able to enjoy my meal slowly and feel happy while sipping on some alcohol.
The room was also very clean and comfortable.
The staff were also friendly and kind, which made my heart feel fulfilled.
WwwhosambirThe 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.
GGuest UserThe staff was extremely friendly. It was a raining day. In case to get wet, he told me to park at their hall way and take the luggage in. I can either leave the car key to the front desk or park the car in the parking lot. It's so sweet of the staff. I do love their service so far.
Later on, when I got into the room, I found out that I booked a smoking room, the wrong room type of what I needed. I am allergic to the smoking room. I asked the staff to help out. He went to the manager and my room was swapped to โ301โ. So Awesome!! I was upgraded to a huge family room with 2 big beds and a big long sofa. I believe that was their last non-smoking room since that was a Saturday night. Thank you so so much. I do appreciate that.
The hotel is across from the JP station. It is so convenient to get almost everything.
What a wonderful experience to stay at Uwajima Terminal Hotel!!
Thanks a million!!
GGuest UserConventient location; 10 minute walk to nearest bus station, and about 30 minutes max travel time to anywhere we wanted to go!
Room was clean and compact; but the double bed is quite squeezy if you're fitting two people inside.
Buffet breakfast is 1300ยฅ if you inquire the day before you intend to eat. It is 1500ยฅ if you buy it on the day itself.
Accidentally booked a smoking room; but the staff were kind enough to change it for us once they had a room.
SSWEETI 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!
TTsuiWindyVery impressive arranegment and hospitality. I had a cycling accident in Seto inland sea and requested a delay checkin. The hotel texted me to offer assistance. Upon knowing my injury, the hotel upgraded me to a big private room for which i did not have to walk upstairs to my room and there was a private bath room inside. When i arrived at late night, all food were well prepared on table whilst fresh sushi were stored in the fridge. The hotel is a traditional Japanese hostel with warm hospitality and nice massage facilities. Surely will pick it when travel there again.
