Hotel berhampiran Kasamori Inari Shrine, Matsumoto

Wonderful rooms and staff. The dining room and food is silver service. We felt under dressed as we had been hiking or two days and only had our back packs not our full luggage but that made no difference to the staffs attitude towards us. Very well placed and easily within walking distance to Matsumoto Castle and other attractions. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone but especially to travellers of European/American or Australian nationalities.

Hotel situado a cinco minutos de la estación de tren, cosa que facilita, como en todo Japón, el acceso a restaurantes, autobuses y otros servicios de necesidad. Exento de adornos se distingue por su carácter práctico, adecuado para una estancia no muy prolongada en la ciudad. Habitación limpia y aseptica, camas de 1,30 cm. Ofrece desayuno no muy atractivo para el huesped occidental. Estrictos hasta el rigor en cumplir la hora de entrada a la habitación.

今回のコロナ禍の中宿泊した。 場所はそこまで恵まれているわけでは無いが、それを補って余りある内容のホテルと言える。 まず宿泊費が安い。 街中で最近は増えて来たが大浴場が有る。 観光用に自転車を無料で貸し出してくれる。 最も評価すべきは朝食で有る。ビュッフェ形式で種類も多く、その殆どが出来合いで無く手作りと思われる。地域の特産品も多く、長野に来た気持ちに浸れる。ビジネスホテルでこの様な内容を持つホテルは最近本当に少なくなった。コスト重視の経営がそうさせているのであろうが、この様なホテルは心より応援したくなる。 次の機会が有れば必ずここで朝食を取るであろう。

~7min walk from Matsumoto station with many food options nearby, on usual days. We went on 31 Dec to 1 Jan and the streets were empty; shops were 99% closed, except for Parco / big malls. Hotel staffs were super helpful and friendly. I loved the shoe locker concept at the main entrance of the hotel; you lock your shoes and go barefooted around the hotel. Hotel staff assisted to check on available restaurant opening hours, as well as reservation on 31 Dec since we weren't sure if places were open. Onsen (both indoor and outdoor) was the best, coupled with complimentary laundry facility (dryer at 100yen). Shampoo and body wash were all available for use. There are vending machines at the common area outside the bathroom. Complimentary ramen at night (do check with the hotel on the timing). Soba over new year's countdown at midnight was yummy. Wonderful overall experience. Will explore Onyado in other cities in future!

This was a stopover hotel for our tour of Japan. It's well-located, walking distance to the railway station. The hotel carpark is small and we ended up in a garage about a 7-minute walk away. (10-minute if you have luggage.) We ended up in the executive floor. The rooms were all right in size. The major plus is the 14th floor executive lounge. We were there on New Year Day but ALL the restaurants that looked decent said they would only allow us in with reservations. We had not expected that. Fortunately, we had a good fill at the lounge, went to MacDonald's (across the road from the Railway Station) for a burger and then returned to the Lounge to top up with drinks. Although it was near the closing time for the lounge, still the staff topped up the food. Breakfast was pretty good. But the dining area is somewhat small. So we had to wait 10 minutes. They do have a picnic arrangement, which was pretty charming. Staff were friendly, things worked. Yes, I would recommend this.

This was one of the more ‘traditional’ hotels in which we stayed. It was on the older side. Our room was in what was described as the annexe. It was a Nice room of decent size. As is typical in Japan everything was provided plus the extra bonus of chargers and a blue tooth speaker if wanted. It was the only hotel during our stay to provide a Nespresso machine. . Very traditional pyjamas i Liked the room as there was a lobby area in which we could accommodate and easily access suitcases without falling over them. There was a Decent size bathroom with a small bath and shower. The whole room was very clean except for some mould on bathroom tiles. The Shower is good if your height is up to about 6’ 2”. Shower head holes needed bit of lime scale cleaning to flow better. Please note- the shower is in deep raised bath. This was Harder for a short person to get in and out. I Thought I would slip so installation of a grab handle or step would be very helpful. The Beds were very comfortable and the single beds are 4’ which is a good size. The Room did get cold but good heating provided. Plenty of plugs. Room was Very quiet. Breakfast mainly traditional Japanese but some limited western food available. Very good Japanese breakfast. Public baths are on site . There is free Shuttle departing at fixed times to the station which you pre book. Suggest you book the night before. There is a small Cafe attached to the hotel with a small shop. Good atmosphere. Very helpful staff. Location within walking distance of anything you want to see in Matsumoto and the station.

We wanted to treat ourselves for an anniversary so booked in for a night. It is not cheap - we paid SGD 770 for the night, but it was a good experience all the way from check in to check out. The price includes dinner, which was plated beautifully and featured items like lobster sashimi, beef stew and bracken tempura. Breakfast was done buffet style and had both Japanese and Weatern dishes. There are onsens as well. We opted to pay 3000 yen for a private couple onsen for 45 minutes, but there are also public baths on the 4th floor. The bath on the 3rd floor, just off reception, switches between males in the morning and the ladies in the evening. The room was largish and I loved that the yukatas came in a variety of sizes. There is no room clean up till check out, but they do lay futon beds in the room. The room was well appointed and had a great view, small fridge, a safe, and coffee and tea making facilities. There was even a coffee bean grinder. There were ample power points. Wifi was okay though it did drop now and then. There are separate toilet and shower rooms. There is a souvenir cum general store in the lobby where you can even buy condensed milk ice cream. Staff are friendly and efficient. They do have a free shuttle bus from 5 pm at the Matsumoto train station to the hotel, and one the following morning at 9 am and 10 am back to the station.

Stayed at 2 Hoshino Kai resorts this trip and I would say the service at Kai Alps was much better than Kai Matsumoto. The food at Kai Matsumoto was very much better than Kai Alps though. So all in all, we really enjoyed staying at Hoshino resorts and cannot wait to explore more areas! When staying at Hoshino resorts, I really do recommend getting the special dinner and in room onsen.

ツーリングの宿泊で利用しました バイクはエントランス前にあるスペースに駐車 スタッフの方は親切でとても心地の良い接客をされています！ 5階の一室に宿泊しましたが部屋から浅間温泉街や松本市内がよく見え夜景も結構綺麗でした☺️ 大浴場は時間帯で入れ替わるのですが 7階の展望デッキに設置されているサウナがめちゃくちゃ最高でした！
