THE CELECTON Matsumoto
The hotel is very near to Matsumoto Castle and was quiet and peaceful. The public bath is small but sufficient. The decor can feel a little dim in the rooms but otherwise everything was clean, and staff were attentive.

Dormy Inn Matsumoto Natural Hot Spring
Below average by Dormy Inn's own standards. Great onsen as usual, but breakfast below par. The in-room motion-activated overhead light has to go!

Iroha Grand Hotel
This is an excellent hotel for one or two nights ( the rooms are small) but very clean, with helpful staff and in a very convenient location only 5 minutes walk from the station and 10 minutes walk to Matsumoto castle. The room rate was very good and this hotel offers good value.
