Matsuno Vacations from NT$16,774

My favorite in Ehime

Has big bath on top of the floor

This is a newer hotel right next to the iconic Dogo Onsen building. Super easy to don a yukata (included use with room) and go to the Dogo original which has been recently restored to it’s prior glory, and the Dogo annex which features a cool projection system to bring the bath tile murals to life. Breakfast is a wonderful Japanese menu served at the sushi restaurant on the first floor. With the street car station, both Dogo and the rest of what Matsuyama has to offer is within reach.

Very nice hotel. I feel my hotel experiences have gone up a notch here. Reception was excellent, our luggage was taken to our room, we were shown some of the hotel facilities, lounge area with free coffee, orange juice and other non alcoholic drinks, plenty easy chairs and tables. Room very large, private bathroom but out in the rooms hallway rather than directly off the bedroom. Sauna and onsen freely available. This very smart hotel was excellent.

The Hotel Route Inn in Saijo was a convenient place to stay and was a resonable price. We had a rental car which made it easy to find and the parking was free. The beds were hard but the rest of the hotel was nice. My daughter and I went into the Japanese bath, which was very relaxing. They provided Pyjamas and slippers as well as basic toiletries. There was a good variety at breakfast which was buffet style and very filling. The staff were very helpful but I don't think anyone spoke much English. The hotel is close to the Asahi Beer Factory, which offers free tours! Saijo is a short drive to Imabari where we started the Shimanami Kaido Bicycle ride.
