Business Hotels in Ehime Prefecture, Japan

The staff at the front desk were efficient, though they came across as cold and reserved. The room was disappointing, with run-of-the-mill furniture/furnishings and a creaky chair. The lights were too dim. There was no view as the lower half of the window was blocked by a wall. On the other hand, the bathroom looked quite elegant and was kept clean. The location is great. There are plenty of dining & shopping options nearby. The hotel has a shopping mall on the lower floors and is next to Mitsukoshi Department Store and Okaido Shopping Street. The Okaido Tram Stop is down the street. The bus stop for the airport limousine is right in front of Mitsukoshi. Attractions such as Bansuiso, Saka no Ue no Kumo Museum and the cable car to Matsuyama Castle are all within walking distance.

Get off at Dogo Onsen Station and walk to the iconic Dogo Onsen Honkan. The hotel is just north of it. There is a butler at the door who will greet you warmly when you come back. The hotel has its own orange juice tap (pay attention to the time) and a massage chair in the room. If you go out to take a bath in the three famous hot springs, a basket with towels and a yukata are provided free of charge. The private hot spring is on the first floor underground, with one indoor and one outdoor pool. The quality of the hot spring is very good, and it feels unnecessary to queue at the door of the main building. A hot spring tax of 150 yen per person per day is collected when checking out.

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!

I am generally pleased with the hotel's facilities and breakfast, as they have met my expectations in many aspects. However, I believe that a more welcoming and accommodating attitude from the staff would significantly enhance the overall guest experience. Additionally, improving their English proficiency, particularly in customer interactions, would be highly beneficial in providing more seamless and professional service to international visitors.

Very close to the station, just a few steps away without luggage. The hotel has free drinks, but the selection is relatively small. The hotel opened last year, so everything is new and the design is relatively modern. The bed and toilet are relatively large, but there is not much standing space in the room, and the suitcases are not easy to open. The bathhouse is also designed in a relatively modern way, and the water temperature feels about 43 degrees, which is quite hot. I was the only one eating this morning, and the waiter kept bringing the dishes to my side and asked if I wanted more, which was very enthusiastic. In the end, I really couldn't eat anymore. There are some local cuisines.

The room is big, the food is great, there is a supermarket next to it, drive up to the 3rd floor, the hotel lobby is on the 3rd floor

I was very grateful that there was a large public bath, and although it was far from Route 11, there were places to eat nearby and a 24-hour supermarket, so it was perfect for using the car. The futon was not too soft and the duvet was fluffy and down-like, so it was very comfortable to sleep on. For breakfast, there was a buffet, curry, and about six types of bread and rice. I think there were. I was also happy that it was ponzu juice instead of orange juice. I also left something behind in the parking lot, but when I called, they found it right away and sent it to me! I was even more impressed when they said they would cover the shipping costs! Thank you very much😭 I think it's the best Route Inn for hiking and trekking in the Ishizuchi mountain range and driving/touring on the UFO Line. You can also go south on National Route 192 to Tosa on the Kochi side, or cross the UFO Line to Nagasawa, go a little north on R192, turn right, cross Kochi Prefectural Route 17, go north on R32, and continue on Kochi Road or Route 32 to Ooboke and Koboke. It will be a great drive to enjoy the deep mountains of Shikoku. If it is fully booked, there is also a hotel in Niihama.

Meals were not included. I arrived at the hotel after the front desk staff had left an envelope with the key in it for me, but it was a bit risky from a safety standpoint, but it was my fault for being late, so it was a very nice touch.

I stayed the night before climbing Mt. Ishigaki. It was very nice in a clean hotel. There is a convenience store around and it is very convenient. It's near the station, so it's good for business.
