Nice hotel, friendly and very helpful staff. Hotel is very close to the beautiful Matsumoto Castle. Further walk to the station (about 15 minutes), and to restaurants, but overall I liked it.

The room was lovely and more spacious than others we’ve stayed at. Staff was wonderful and the breakfast buffet had a nice variety of foods, Japanese curry, rice, scrambled eggs, sausage as well as croissants with butter and jam, pain au chocolat and the coffee was good 😊

Hotel staff was super helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Location is great for visiting museums and the gorgeous castle. The hotel has an onsen for relaxing after a day of walking. It is a bit of a walk from the station with suitcases so we took a cab on our way back. Overall a great stay.

Towels were thinner, the window in the room wasn’t much soundproof, but overall, it’s an average hotel. It would be nice to have more than one elevator. The hot bath was nice and clean.

Location is convenient being right near Matsumoto Castle and a short walk to the train station. Didn't find a lot of restaurants close by, but head towards the station or a couple block BH the Castle and you'll find something. Staff was attentive and had no problems. Room was quiet and typically claustrophobic, but served it's purpose.

Hotel is value for money. Has its own parking space but better if it can be given free to hotel guests. The train station and eating places are about 15 min walking distance. May not be ideal for those who take public transport.

A modern fairly new hotel which was very clean, safe and a 10 min walk from station. Literally 10 min walk to Matsumoto Castle. We had a view of it from our room.
Rooms in the small side (comm in Japan) but fine for us. Beds were very comfortable too.
A great value as well.
We would stay here again.
