Hot spring Hotels in Matsuyama

The hotel is in a very good location. You can take the tram to the main street and walk two intersections along the commercial street. It is also very close to the Matsuyama Castle Cable Car Station. There are many delicious restaurants nearby, such as Tai Fish Rice. I have always liked the large bath at Dormyinn Hot Spring Hotel and the free supper every night. I take a bath on the rooftop and have a popsicle every night. It is very comfortable. In addition, there is a free foot bath at the door of this store~

First Shikoku, first Dogo Onsen. The word of mouth has become very late. We stayed at 2023.1.17 １. Stayed in haiku suite. Since it was an early morning flight, I arrived quite early than check-in, so I stopped by the hotel to leave my luggage. A veteran man guided me to the front desk immediately. However, while disappointed by the expressionless and cold response of the young woman at the front desk, it was because of this that I arrived too early, so I asked her to leave her luggage and go sightseeing. And check in. It is not possible that the door of the cleaning tool box right next to the entrance of the room called haiku suite remained empty. (This place remains open all the time during my stay.) The room was clean and of course large, but I think the back of the amenities and the dusty details were not well cleaned. Dinner is at the restaurant. I stayed in a large room, so is it like this when considering the accommodation fee? It was delicious with elegant seasoning, but I have the impression that there were many similar seasonings. I chose Western food for breakfast. It was good to have an extraordinary feeling with the silver lid and an omelet on the white tablecloth. It was a private room-style seat, but there were two tables, the distance from the neighbor was close, and it was too quiet to hear the conversation, so I was uncomfortable. This might have been quite relaxing with room service. The man of the staff who guided me to the room on arrival checked out and told me what I casually asked. I was impatient, so I forgot completely, so I thought I could tell you by extension, etc., but it was probably the hospitality of the person who was not in the manual. I'm sorry that there is no hot water in the bath. Somehow, I wondered if it would be a good inn if I became a regular, but I won't visit again.

We stayed for 2 nights in Standard Twin. It was a parking view, but it was very clean, including the bathroom, although it was not large, and the USB port on the bedside was convenient for charging the smartphone. Also, the amenities dripping coffee and empty refrigerator were good. The room had slippers and snow dags, and I liked the beach sandals, and I was comfortable with snow dags that were not resistant to walking outside. The public bath on the top floor was healed with a clean open-air bath with a good view. I went to 6:00 for two days from 6:00 in the morning, but I think it was good to open a little earlier because it was quite crowded. Breakfast was the same for two days, but there were so many original options that I never got tired. Uwajima slices, tofu and French toast were especially delicious and I ate too much every morning. Access from the city is good and if you have the opportunity to stay at Dogo Onsen, I would like to choose it next time.

Stayed 2N. The property is locate next to the Dogo Onsen (Japan's oldest onsen) which is undergoing renovations. The hotel is equally old and is designed in a very elegant way. I was assigned a low floor room with a partial view of an ornate stage. I opted for the traditional Japanese room which was very large. The floor was tatami and the futon bed would be setup by the houskeepers in the evening and packed away in the morning. The room came with 4 sizes of yukata for you to choose. The yukata can be worn within the property and even for a walk into town. The room was well appointed and clean . The toilet had a bath and squat shower, and WC in a separate closet. The bed was very comfy. Wifi signal was strong. The AC was on the warm side, but fortunately, I could open the windows to let in fresh air. The highlight was the onsen with indoor and outdoor pools. Located next to the onsen entrance was self-service **free** sake and some sweets for children. Breakfast was served in a banquet hall and with an incredibly large array of choices. All the staff we met were hospitable. Will return.

The hotel and rooms were very comfortable and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful so feel a little guilty giving it only four stars but I did because we have stayed in other hotels which were a little more personable whereas this was a little commercial so not perfect for the holiday traveller. Next door there is an excellent French /Japanese restaurant I would strongly recommend. Please do not be put of by my review. The hotel is well located and you will have a very comfortable stay.

Stayed with breakfast. It is beautiful because it is renewed. Located in the downtown area, there are many shops such as Mitsukoshi and restaurants within walking distance, so you can eat while walking. The bath is free-flowing from the source, and you can put it in at any time. Check out at 11am was easy. It was comfortable and affordable at this price.

I applied for a plan with half board for two days and one night. The exterior looks old, but the interior has a modern and bright impression, including a restaurant. Many of the front desks were veterans and kind, and many of them were young like students because the restaurant was busy, but I had a good feeling including the first 々 feeling. The main dinner seemed to have been wrong with the advance request information, but it was helpful to respond immediately. I thought it would be nice to have a change in the contents of the buffet at dinner and the buffet at breakfast (shell pasta and pumpkin gratin that I only saw at the night buffet, etc. persistently It was a sloppy taste that wasn't too much.) Close to the shopping street and Dogo Onsen main building, I made a reservation for accommodation by seeing the word of mouth, but the parking fee was 800 yen / day, but it was a hotel that I could have a pleasant stay and wanted to repeat.

Before you go: it is good to speak some Japanese. I tried to book it directly with the ryokan so I could choose a menu plan but the English version of the website was not showing available dates and the Japanese version was not allowing to enter a non-Japanese phone number. I emailed them (in Japanese) and was able to get a reservation with the meal plan of my choice (breakfast and dinner and some special side dishes). We stayed at what I think is called superior Japanese room. It was very spacious. Besides the onsen on the first floor, the room itself has a large ofuro. Meals were served in our room. I liked this for breakfast but missed seeing people around dinner time. The onsen dowstairs has two large baths, one is closed and the other is open with rocks and vegetation around. A glass window separates them. After the onsen, there is self-service beer and/or ice-cream. The food was amazing! But I think I went overboard in ordering the special sea bream sashimi. We stayed two days there, relaxing at the onsen after climbing the Matsuyama castle ramp/steps or after cycling the Shimanamikaido in Imabari (about 40 minutes from Matsuyama) felt like heaven. The staff was extremely warmth and professional. In this place you will see the true Japanese hospitality ”omotenashi”.

I went after seeing the word of mouth for my family. The child seemed to like the ball pool and played for a long time. There was a color 々 service that children would be happy with, such as all-you-can-eat orange juice and popcorn in the lounge, and making udon noodles at night (treading with their feet). The meal was also a room meal, so I was able to spend a relaxing time without worrying. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the shopping street of Dogo Onsen, but it is uphill to the hotel. There was a shuttle bus between the hotel and the shopping street, but it was from 15:00. I was a little worried about the smell of the toilet in the room. There are many other hotels after the road, so I think there will be a repeat.

I hate Mammoth Hotels, but there were so few other people here that I couldn't believe they were accommodating a large number of people, and even when I ate in the private room, I hardly met anyone. What is especially noteworthy is the carefully designed tea room. The quality is so high that you can't believe it's inside a concrete building, and when you ask about it, you'll be convinced that it was made by a craftsman from Kyoto who stayed there for a long time. The inside of the hotel was decorated with Ohara-style decorations, giving it the feel of a high-class inn. However, it's a bit old so it's not shiny, but I was able to really feel the hospitality of the employees. This ryokan changed the impression that it was too big to handle. I will visit again.
