“Excellent and great value for money”

Everything was perfect. Good western breakfast. Friendly staff.

Great stay

Everything, especially the friendly staff.

“I am very happy with the stay. I will introduce my friends to stay at this hotel whenever possible.”

The hotel is very clean and tidy. The staff are very polite and friendly. I am impressed with their friendly gesture.

“Lovely bijoux petit hotel - happy times”

Hotel is located a short distance from the towns main street (1Km) so close enough to access railway station, shops and restaurants but far enough for some peace and quiet. Staff were very accommodating, with some English spoken. Breakfast was an infusion of western and Japanese.

“Cozy rooms and lounge, kind staff, superb meals, and a convenient location for exploring Matsushima.”

The food was wonderful (particularly the course dinner), the rooms were cozy and there was a nice lounge with a fireplace to relax in. Along with an in-room shower, there are two private Japanese-style baths (cypress wood and eathernware tub) to enjoy a more relaxed bathing session. Location is a bit removed from Matsushima's main street, but it is only a 5-minute walk to the train station and the main sightseeing/shopping areas, so it is very convenient. Staff were very warm and attentive.

Beautiful hotel in the middle of a hill overlooking Matsushima. Staff was very welcoming and kind! Breakfast was amazing, would definitely like to come back and try their dinner too.

Excellent staff Good breakfast

“For a gastronomic stay over place”

The place is for a gastronomic sleep over with a delicious bistro menu. Was bit surprised that there isn’t really wine selection.

“A lovely and comfy hotel”

The staff member that welcomed us gave us many information. The hotel was really good looking, with an "old" vibe but I mean this in the best possible way. It was very clean and there was a functional AC. Tea and coffee with cast iron cups and cream + sugar was of great quality. The cypress bath we went to was awesome. I recommend stopping by if you come to Matsushima, great value for the price.

Staffs are all very friendly, the location is only 15 minutes walk to the attraction location of Matsushima. Nice ambient and great pleasant to stay here and will certainly coming back again in the near future.

Breakfast and dinner are excellent

“Nice place to stay despite hard bed and pillows”

A lovely old guesthouse with lots of ambience. The staff were super friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Free pick up and drop off at the station. A beautiful breakfast each morning. The onsen was also very nice. A short 5 minute walk to the centre of town.

Very nice staff, comfortable and clean!

“A cozy hotel with excellent dinner, but beware of bugs!”

The food was very good, especially the multi-course dinner with local ingredients. The owners are lovely and picked up and dropped us off at the train station. There is a cozy lounge with a fireplace for relaxing, and you can have private use of the two baths on the main floor. The tower provides a nice view of the bay.

Lovely breakfast. French style building with pigeonnier being the view point. Very good onsen/bathing facilities. Reasonably priced for matsushima. Matsushima has boat trips, elegant Temple and onsen to visit. Needs a minimum of 2 days. We didn't know they did evening meals - is worth reserving this. Good music in the background in the lobby area. A room for business activities

Very friendly staff.

“Relatively cheap with mediocre rooms. I definitely believe that a total renovation in the rooms is needed.”

Both the staff on day and night shifts are very kind and helpful. The breakfast is great albeit a little bit small in portion. There’s a loft that you can go up and watch the sunrise. I took very nice pictures from there during my stay.

“Fantastic experience and great staff!”

Nice Japanese hot tub on same floor. Helpful host.
