Hotel berhampiran Kuil Ishite-ji, Matsuyama

Good location next to Matsuyama station, easy access to Okaido, big shopping street, and famous Dogo onsen hot springs by tram. 2nf floor is the front desk/lounge for free drinks and soft ice cream/breakfast restaurant. The public bath is on 3rd floor. Room size is the Japanese standard, more storage space under the bed. Breakfast offers various food, many local cuisine and food, and 6 different kinds of local orange juices from Ehime.

Staff is helpful with parking, parking charges is a bit on high side of 1200Yen as compared to those public carpark nearby. Additional charges for 1-2hr at 200Yen/30mins after 1100hr checkout, could have been waived as a service. Check-in / Check out process was smooth and room size was big. Location was great as just right next to shopping street. Overall, good hospitality from staff.

The experience was good enough the hotel and the food wasn’t too bad. The hot spring on the top floor is an absolute delight and we didn’t stay in the room much we were almost out, so it was just a place for us to rest our feet and get a good night sleep and that just did the trick. Everything was fine hotel staff were good. Everything was great.

Good location. The hotel locates near Matsuyama City Tram Station where is also the terminal station of airport bus. Matsuyama port is just 20 minutes train ride away. One may walk up to the Matsuyama Castle from the hotel within 40 minutes. The castle tram station and the Okaido shopping area are also within walking distance. Staff were friendly with satisfactory services and amenities. However it was always crowded at breakfast time. Be reminded it's Matsuyama City Station but not the JR Matsuyama Station (JR).

口コミなどで想像通りでした。 今回は、お安く泊まれるところを探していたので 申し分ありませんでした。 すぐそばに24時間500円のコインパーキングもあります。 お部屋が狭いため暖房の効きが早かったのでよかったです。 テレビを見ようとしたら元電が切れているのか？つけ方がわからず、結局見れないままでした。 せめて、元電をつけた状態にしていただけだらよかったです。 スリッパがありましたので問題はありませんが床が汚いのと、や壁がはげているのが気になりました。 とはいえ、全体的に清潔感を保っているので、1日だけ、お安く泊まりたい時にはとてもいいお部屋だと思います。 ドライヤー、鏡、歯ブラシ、タオル1、バスタオル1はありました。

We wanted to experience Dogo Onsen and this was a great choice (albeit expensive because it was a holiday weekend). The hotel is lovely and the service is beyond excellent. The staff was super kind as we are English speakers. Plus, we really enjoyed the hotels onsens better than the ones in town (the Dogo Onsen is being renovated and only one room was open for each gender; the same was the case with the Annex). The hotels onsens were lovely and the private outdoor onsen was a really lovely experience. We also took advantage of their convenient bus service into town although it’s only a 10 minute walk and we walked multiple times. Highly recommend!

A moderately sized hotel in a convenient location, easily accessible by car. Parking is available — just give your parking ticket to the front desk, and they will charge ¥1,000 per day. When leaving, present the ticket again and they’ll issue an additional pass based on the total parking duration. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room is of a standard size for Japan. The downside: the towels had a faint smell of cigarette smoke.

오쿠도고 이치유노모리에 2번째 방문이었습니다. 석식/조식 퀄리티 너무 좋구요, 노천탕도 넓고 잘 되어있어요 (약간 유황 냄새가 나긴함) 아침 저녁으로 온천하기 좋아요! 올때마다 좋은 기억 남기고 갑니다~ 프라이빗온천(유료) 예약할 수 있고, 오케자케도 가능해서 좋았어요! 라운지(4층)에 무료 커피 이용할 수 있고 얼음머신도 있어서 아이스커피 완전 가능!! 다음에 부모님 모시고 또 올 예정입니다. (도고온천-숙소 무료 셔틀 운영 중 / 프론트에 문의)

I was there at Jan 2024, and only stayed there for 2 days. The staff there can speak English, and were nice. The second day I stayed there, the staff offered me to have hotpot with all the other people living in Fujiya, an unforgettable experience I treasured and will forever remembered. Even though it is a proxy of a Japanese family, it did feel like I have experienced the Japanese hospitality and friendliness. There were some interesting characters, who may or may not frequented Fujiya, whom I had the pleasure to have this hotpot together. The facilities are not the best, but the basics necessities were there and no complaining from me, they have an AC there, comfortable enough for me. The staff did explain that there is only one shower, so we might have to wait for the person to finish. However, since the location is so close to Dogo Onsen, they did recommend to go there instead, and after all, it was why i chose this location in the first place. Location is really close to the Dogo Onsen and the Yuzuki-Castle ruin, which was a lifesaver for me I would say that all other sight-seeing locations are within walking distance as well since I did walk to all those interesting places. However, I do realize not all people like to walk like I do. To counter that, Fujiya is practically next to the tram station, which you can use it to go to many places in the city. tldr, would recommend

Location is great! Less than 5 minutes walk to Matsuyama JR station. There was no staff at the counter in the morning. Although you can contact them with phone call, it's inconvenience for foreigners. I arrived in the morning and needed luggage check-in. Ended up leaving my luggage by myself in the corner of the lobby where several other luggages were left. Good thing there is 24hr video surveillance pointing at the luggage area and one can chain-lock the luggage to the rail shelf. Suggest to bring a chain-lock if you need to leave luggage there. Check-in was easy and staff was friendly. Room is accessed via physical key, not RFID card like commonly seen today in hotels. I booked single room. There is no tea kettle, tea bags, coffee, or drinking water inside the room. All those ammenities are at the lobby. Hot/cold water is only available from a portable water dispenser. I was really surprised that it is not allowed to refill the water with your own bottle (or any resuable bottle). The staff told me it is for hygenie concerns. One can only use the provided tiny paper cup (50~70ml in volume) to get water or make coffee/tea. And it is not allowed to eat/drink in the lobby area. So you have to hold the tiny cup and go back to your room to consume it. Very inconvenient to me. They offer 2 kinds of set menu for breakfast: chicken congee and sea bream rice soup (Tai-chazuke). I had the later and it was delicious. Overall, the stay met my expectations with price I paid except for the inconvenience in getting hot water for making tea or coffee myself. If I ever travel to Matsuyama bymyself again, I'll definitely consider staying in this place again. But I won't recommend it for couple or family stay though.
