This I’d really an exceptional hotel and is also very reasonably priced. The onzen is very nice and was never over crowded. The breakfast was very much worth the price, and the 7:00 pm icecream is a very nice touch.

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.

Stort och opersonligt hotell. Check in i små automater vilket var svårt att förstå eftersom en del var på japanska och personalen ändå fick hjälpa alla när det hakade upp sig vid incheckningen. Hade gått fortare och smidigare med manuell check in. Små rum - trångt. Ingen frukost som passade vår smak.
