Best Matsumoto Hotels

We spent a pleasant 2 nights in Tabino Lit Matsumoto. Special thanks to staff Yumiko, who was super helpful (she took initiative to fix my split soles that gave way suddenly), speaks good English, gives good advice on local information. Tabino hotel is fortunate to have such great staff. Breakfast was good with lots of healthy vegetables, Public bath was relaxing and not crowded during our stay.

The service at this hotel is excellent. From the concierge to front desk. Location is near Matsumoto station. I was directed to a multi storey hotel parking at the back of the hotel. It cost 1100 yen per day (multiple entry per day). Just exchange your parking ticket with the reception . They settle the parking fees when you check out. The hotel is rather old. Looks like you entered the 1980s zone. Rooms are renovated to some extend but I could see the wear and tear. Housekeeping a bit sloppy as the window bay area was dusty when we checked in and there was a musky smell esp the bathroom.

■There is a free shuttle bus from Matsumoto Sta.>>Hotel 16:00/17:00 Exit the station and walk to the right to wait for the bus near the police station. The bus will have a Shoho sign. From the hotel>>Matsumoto Sta. 9:00/10:00 If you want to stop by near the castle, tell the driver.

They will send it to us to pick up at Ace Inn. ■Free drinks from 15:00-20:00: Tea, coffee, fruit juice, beer. / Welcome drinks are tea and 3 types of pickles. ■The Panorama View Onsen alternates between men and women. / Another onsen is separated for men and women and uses the same time.

Experienced the secret soup white bone hot spring located in the deep mountains. This hot spring hotel is located near the bus terminal. There are not many rooms and it is very comfortable. You can make an appointment for two free private soups. Every half an hour, sulfur is full, milky white soup, very enjoyable

The facilities in an old hot spring hotel are a bit outdated, and the waiters are all elderly and can only use translation software to communicate. The size of the small suite is okay. The Japanese tatami is too hard to sleep on. There are not many public baths, but they are very hot. The most amazing thing is the private bath on the 6th floor. No reservation is required. It is first come first served. You can see the city view and the distance. Mountain The set meals for dinner and breakfast are so-so and can only satisfy your needs

Great place

The front desk was welcoming and there was a Chinese staff who gave snacks to the children. The room has a high and low bed, the children are very happy, climbed up and down N times. However, the room was really small and the Japanese breakfast was not very used. It is more convenient to walk from Matsumoto Station for about five to ten minutes. Overall, the holiday booking price is a bit more expensive.

Location Is good , customer service very good, very helpful, bathroom 24 hrs is true spa , room is big

I had a wonderful experience here at Cafe&Stay Castana. The room was clean and comfortable, a great find at this price! The location is great with a free parking lot available, and with a huge supermarket conveniently located beside. However, I have to especially commend the staff, they were so friendly and accommodating to our needs! As you know, sometimes travellers are disoriented and stressed, and their willingness to help is deeply appreciated. I also had to ask for directions to a doctor as I fell sick, and they went above and beyond to take care of me. I could have only experienced this humanity at a small enterprise like this, and am very grateful.
