A great option for a solo traveller if you get a better deal from Booking on this accommodation. The prices can vary a lot, so that's also a reason why I didn't extend my stay. I love the shared baths – 2 baths in the female section and the water of the onsen one was just 36 degrees, which makes it bearable to stay for a longer period. Also, the room was huge enough to comfortably fit and open my luggage while still having some space for a morning stretch.

I had a piece of garbage left on the floor after the previous customer, but it was a bit "hidden", so I guess the cleaning service just overlooked it. Also, the bed is on the wheels and therefore can move a bit when you sit in it.

First of all, all has to be seen in the relation of the paid price. 16m2 room (the larger type) for JPY 5.800 plus a very modest JPY 950 for a set menu of Japanese breakfast is a bargain more than you can ask for. Therefore my expectations were not set too high. Bottom line, my expectations were exceeded in all aspects. Ofcourse this hotel is a business hotel meeting the Japanese standard in terms of check in / check out rulings, the standard set of rules and regulations, the nationwide common squeeze of a unit type bathroom, standard bed, desk, etc. What makes this hotel stick out of the mass, is its friendly and sincere personnel, the fantastic public bath, top notch location and last but not least an agreeable set of breakfast to an agreeable price. Different to my fellow travelers, WIFI was speedy, no set up nor connection issues. All top notch. Basically there is nothing to complain about. If I paid double, I would surely be shopping for complaints and petite issues. All in all, it was a nice stay, helpful and friendly staff, decent lodgings, prime location.

If I paid more, I‘d be nagging more.

I loved absolutely everything about my stay! The room was so spacious (the most spacious hotel room I've ever stayed in in Japan) and the onsen was incredibly comfortable. Everything that I could possibly need was provided and the tram stop to get you to the station and/Dogo Onsen is just a short walk away, making this very conveniently located. Would absolutely stay there again if I could and would wholeheartedly recommend that others do too!

The only thing that I can think of is that I wish that there was an option to decline fresh towels/pyjamas as well as room cleaning. I didn't need new ones every day and it felt wasteful.

Friendly staff and great value. Easily within walking distance of the Matsuyama arcade area and several tram stations. Many restaurants are also in the area and shopping is also easy to access for tourists at stores such as don quijote and other pharmacy discount shops. A hot spring is also available for those interested.

I was able to hear even the smallest sounds from the hallway and sometimes the rooms next to mine. I think the doors are very thin? Did not really cause any inconvenience, but if I had one criticism it would be that I had to be mindful of how loud I may have been to others as well. Elevator was also VERY hot and slow.

Very good hotel for the price. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Room was business hotel standard. Window could be opened. Located directly at the main shopping district. Public bath that was also accessible to the public at certain hours. As for the current construction work: the men’s bath was fully functional and open despite of one smallish hot pool.

Friendly staff, very clean and well equipped with all sorts of facilities including a hot spring bath. The location is great too, Matsuyama Castle is in walking distance and Dogo Onsen is a short ride by tram away.

The hotel has a bit of a weathered and old look, but that's okay!

Staffs are nice and helpful. Since I arrived earlier than the check-in time,they helped me to move my luggages inside the room. The hotel is next to the shopping area, also has the clean onsen area.

The check in time is 15:00.... so if you arrive before, you cannot enter your room.

I really liked the onsen and that you have the option to have a massage. Unfortunately, this was not in your room.

The smell of the room was a little bit weird.

We didn’t utilise it however there is an oncen at the hotel which might appeal to some. Rooms were clean, space was ok for two but I wouldn’t say spacious.

Bathroom was a little cramped for room

Close proximity to shopping, food and sightseeing places. tried out a few coffee shops nearly by and the department store is full of good food, items that I can shop till I drop.
