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

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!

깔끔하고 가성비 좋은 호텔
제주항공 무료셔틀 내리면 바로 앞에 있습니다. 다카시마야 백화점이랑 붙어있고, 1층에 도토루랑 패밀리마트도 있고, 몇발자국 걸으면 미츠하마야키 가게도 있으면서, 아주 번화가는 아니라 조용하고 좋아요. 무엇보다 마쓰야마성 뷰임. 창문도 그정도면 일본호텔에선 거의 통창?
조식도 맛있고, 대욕장에 스팀 사우나도 있어요.
가격대비 꽤 좋아용.
조식포함으로 2박, 불포함으로 2박 했어요. 체크인때 조식쿠폰을 하루치만 주더군요. 다시 내려가서 설명후 추가로 받긴 했는데 받는 과정이 매우 힘들었어요. 추가 2박두 같은층으로 해달라구 요청했는데 소통이 불가하였고, 룸키를 달라고 하는 직원의 소리를 못 알아 듣는다고 고함을 치더군요. 처음 겪는 호텔 서비스였어요

조식 맛있어요!
조식이 다녀본 일본 호텔 중 가장 좋았어요. 꼭 조식 드세요. 마츠야마시역 바로 앞이고 공항 리무진도 바로 앞에 서요. 교통 좋았지만 위치 자체가 시내가 아니라서 저녁 먹으러 가려면 오카이도 시내로 나가야만 했어요. 전차 버스 다 있지만 걸어서 다니기엔 날이 너무 더워서 힘들었어요. 지방 소도시라 너무 일찍 가게 문을 닫아서 저녁 식당 찾기에 힘들었어요. 비지니스 호텔 치고 지방이라서 그런지 방이 꽤 넓어서 좋았어요.
