Matsue Excel Hotel Tokyu in Matsue

Matsue Excel Hotel Tokyu was our 5th hotel in this journey, and honestly, it set the bar pretty high.

The location was hard to beat — right opposite Matsue Station, and it could be easily reached through an underpass, which was especially helpful when travelling with big luggage or during bad weather.

One big surprise for us was the check-in experience. We arrived at the hotel at around 11.30am, fully expecting to leave our luggage and return later, but we were told that our room was already ready and we could occupy it immediately instead of waiting until the usual 3pm check-in time. It also seemed that they upgraded our booking to a Standard Double Room, which made the experience even better. Two thumbs up for this hotel.

Even though we had booked a Standard Single Room, the space genuinely surprised us. The room came with a queen bed and was more than comfortable for two of us. We were able to fully open our large suitcases without feeling cramped — something that is not always guaranteed in Japanese hotels.

The room layout was practical and well thought out, with a proper TV console and work desk with a chair, a single sofa with a small table, an air purifier, and a fridge. The TV model was a bit outdated, though it did not affect our stay.

The bathroom was also spacious, with a proper bathtub that allowed us to stretch our legs comfortably after long days out. The bed was very comfy, and they provided two pillows for each of us, which made our sleep even better.

Amenities and bottled water were provided at the lobby area, which we found convenient. We paid around SGD159 (JPY19,000) for two nights, and it was excellent value.

Overall, it was one of the best hotels in this journey, and we would gladly stay here again.

Comfortable stay - a spacious room for a solo traveller like me. Location is close to the JR station. As I stayed on the New Year's Eve, they even offered free toshikoshi soba, so I finally had a taste of this Japanese tradition.

Just opposite the JR station. Many restaurants nearby. Very convenient and clean!

A boutique local hotel under the Excel brand, it is what I can expect. Everything works, good Tokyu group facilities. Felt that the car park fee at ¥1,200 per night is a bit high in this kind of city.

Stayed at Tokyu for 6 nights, everything was very good. The room was very large, with dry and wet separation, and 2 large windows that could be opened. The breakfast on the first floor was rich with local specialty dishes. It was also very convenient to go to the attractions, and the surrounding facilities were complete. The only suggestion is that you need to take the underground passage from the JR station to the hotel. It would be better if you can note the walking route on the reservation.

Business hotel with standard Japanese service. Only down point is that they do not have coin laundry.

Room i stayed not spacious but clean, and comfortable enough. Breakfast was good. Very convenieng location.

I am happy with the hotel. No complain at all. I will stay there again if I visited Matsue again.

Here for a conference at the nearby convention centre.

Good location. Opposite JR. First atay in Matsue
