“An excellent hotel”
Very convenient location, close to train station. Tagashimaya store is just the next door. If driving, parking is in the building next to the hotel. Park the car first as there is no drop offs in front of the hotel. The room was spacious and everything in the room works well, including the light control switches. The green tea at this hotel is top quality and it is free. There are also free vanilla and Yuzu soft serve for guests. This is a nice touch.

A large selection from the breakfast buffet, although quite repetitive. Drinks and ice cream offered in the afternoon/evening. Shops and tram station right by the hotel.

“Great location, breakfast and onsen”
Great location and the shortest walk to Matsuyama Castle (note: this Hotel is part of the Matsuyama City Station near the Castle not the similar-named JR Matsuyama Station - a tram connects the two). With the trams, trains and buses almost at the front door, trips to Dogo onsen etc. are very easy. The best breakfast going, an internal onsen and free movies
