Daiwa Roynet Hotel Matsuyama
The room was spotless- not luxurious but more than enough to stay comfortably. There was a bathtub and a shower in Japanese style which is also a great plus for a hotel in this budget range. Highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for a comfortable stay, but not a luxury hotel.
