Daiwa Roynet Hotel Matsuyama
Perfect hotel situated within walking distance to Matsuyama Castle and many nearby restaurants. There is a Starbucks two blocks away, if you need a coffee fix. And the hotel is easily accessible from the train station by the trolley cars and the local bus depot is a block from the hotel.

Hotel Patio Dogo
Nothing particularly special about the room or the hotel, but it was clean, comfy, and convenient. Location is excellent if you are here for the famous Dogo onsen. Staff allowed me to park my bike for free near the front of the hotel. Very friendly staff.
