Shikoku Honeymoon Vacations

First off, the location was great, about a 10 minute walk from Matsuyama station, and right next to Matsuyama Castle. While the hotel is older, the room and bathroom were clean. There were some stains on the carpet and wall paper, and the plastics in the bathroom are little yellowed, but still overall clean. The air conditioning worked well, and the the room was quite large, at least by Japan budget hotel standards. I paid slightly more for a castle view room, and the view was definitely worth the extra money. Overall, I think the hotel is a good value, personally had no regrets staying here, and would gladly stay here again.

The hotel is trying its best with the severely outdated property. Staff is friendly but the whole hotel just needs a top to bottom refresh. They’re trying to cater to weddings, but the place does not have the romantic or elegant vibe at all.

It is a couple hotel so the rooms are a bit unusual but this a clean, convenient hotel.

I’m posting this or my son who just stayed there. He said that he almost hesitated because of some of the bad reviews, but after staying there, he didn’t understand why they would have left them. He said it’s a very traditional Japanese place to stay which he appreciated. He is not in Japan to stay in American style hotels. Also, the price cannot be beat. He said he would absolutely stay there again and really appreciated everything about the place.
