Lovely hotel with fantastic rooms and amenities. Located in the heart of the city. The only down side was there are only two elevators and can become really crowded and slow.

We chose this hotel because of its proximity to Matsuyama’s City Station, a transportation hub served by streetcars and a train to the ferry terminal (from which we took a ferry to Hiroshima). It is literally on top of the train station. In addition to the usual tiny room, it offers a good breakfast buffet and an in-house hot bath. Lots of restaurants in the area, and the Matsuyama castle is within walking distance.

Good base for day trips
We used this as a base for several day trips in the surrounding region as well as within the city. It was right next to the Matsuyama City Station with a tram stop outside - and about 10 minutes by tram to the JR station. We’d stay here again

Convenient location at the center of Matsuyama, close to lots of shopping and dining options. Public bath was great for relaxing bath after long days. Breakfast menu was awesome with lots of local specialties, including 5 kinds of citrus juice. Highly recommend.

The room is not so big but updated very nicely, and clean. Everything is nice and clean. I like it very much. They have a great breakfast, great selection and reasonable price. The location is also very close of train station, bus stop and trolly stop. There is a big department store nearby, also lots of restaurants. Definitely I recommend this hotel!

처음 겪어보는 호텔직원 서비스
조식포함으로 2박, 불포함으로 2박 했어요. 체크인때 조식쿠폰을 하루치만 주더군요. 다시 내려가서 설명후 추가로 받긴 했는데 받는 과정이 매우 힘들었어요. 추가 2박두 같은층으로 해달라구 요청했는데 소통이 불가하였고, 룸키를 달라고 하는 직원의 소리를 못 알아 듣는다고 고함을 치더군요. 처음 겪는 호텔 서비스였어요
