Lovely hotel with fantastic rooms and amenities. Located in the heart of the city. The only down side was there are only two elevators and can become really crowded and slow.

We chose this hotel because of its proximity to Matsuyama’s City Station, a transportation hub served by streetcars and a train to the ferry terminal (from which we took a ferry to Hiroshima). It is literally on top of the train station. In addition to the usual tiny room, it offers a good breakfast buffet and an in-house hot bath. Lots of restaurants in the area, and the Matsuyama castle is within walking distance.

Good base for day trips

We used this as a base for several day trips in the surrounding region as well as within the city. It was right next to the Matsuyama City Station with a tram stop outside - and about 10 minutes by tram to the JR station. We’d stay here again

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.

The room is not so big but updated very nicely, and clean. Everything is nice and clean. I like it very much. They have a great breakfast, great selection and reasonable price. The location is also very close of train station, bus stop and trolly stop. There is a big department store nearby, also lots of restaurants. Definitely I recommend this hotel!

재방문하고 싶은 호텔

역도 가깝고 대욕장도 있고 조식도 맛있고 너무 좋았어요! 특히 다다미 있는 방 진짜 편하고 넓어서 맘에 들었어요. 마쓰야마에 간다면 꼭 재방문하고 싶은 호텔이에요.

일본호텔같지 않게 아주 넓고 깔끔했어요~ 침구가 좀 딱딱했지만 가성비 호텔이다보니 만족했습니다,, 조식도 종류가 많았어요~ 시내구경하기에 좀 외곽에 있지만 걸어다니기 괜찮은 위치에 시내가 있어서 문제될건 없는것 같아요~ 베셀에 묵고 다음숙소는 방도 좁고 흡연룸으로 하는바람에 고생한기억이 있네요~ 베셀 추천입니다
