Hotels in Matsuyama

Stayed here with friends for a golf trip. Getting around wasn't an issue as we rented a car. What really stood out was the hotel's hot spring – the water was incredibly soft and felt amazing. Even softer than Dogo Onsen, I'd say? My only minor gripes were that there was absolutely no Korean or English spoken, and the pajamas in our room were quite old and too big. Overall, we had a good stay though

At approximately 5,000 yen per person, the hotel included hot springs and breakfast, which I felt offered excellent value for money. The hotel and guest rooms were clean, and there were no particular issues. The parking lot was spacious and easy to park in, which was convenient. Breakfast was delicious and satisfying. The hot springs included a sauna and an open-air bath, and the facilities were excellent...

Both the exterior and interior have been beautifully restored! The hot springs were also great ♪

The hot spring was great and there was a massage chair in the room, so I was able to relax!

The room was comfortable and the heating was excellent. The onsen, which is operated in conjunction with the hotel, is especially better than Dogo Onsen. Towels and linens are provided daily, ensuring exceptional cleanliness. The breakfast was delicious and varied, making it hard to believe it was a hotel breakfast. There's also a delicious yakitori restaurant in front of the hotel. Definitely check...

Guests could use the hot springs for free. It was a bit far from Matsuyama City, but the staff were friendly, and it was great to be able to enjoy the hot springs.

The staff were very polite and kind. Even though I had booked the same room twice through another website, they kindly processed the cancellation for me. However, it was disappointing to find clumps of hair in the shower and bathtub when I was bathing.

The hotel facilities are a bit old and the rooms are on the small side, but it was fine considering the affordable price, and I really liked that the front desk staff were incredibly friendly! They even showed me to a parking spot and waved goodbye all the way up in the elevator.

The sign said to take off your shoes, but I laughed when I saw someone who had already taken off their shoes in the hallway. It was nice to have a welcome drink; it was especially helpful on such a hot day.

I was impressed with how environmentally conscious the operation is.

This price is normal with breakfast included, but it would be nice if parking was free.

It was about a 10 minute walk to Okaido. I took the tram to Dogo Onsen and it was easy to find and convenient. The hotel staff were very kind. There were ample amenities and I didn't have any problems, and if I stayed multiple nights I got a free mineral water server. It was great. I'll definitely use it again when I go to Dogo Onsen.

Just 7 rooms and it should have 7 stars to describe this place. We enjoyed every minute in this magical place. The design is one of a kind. Thank you Tadao Ando and the entire team for creating this place.

This hotel is located on the top of a mountain and was designed by Tadao Ando. There are seven rooms in total, one per floor, including the new building and the main building. Because we arrived late today, the hotel left four staff members to serve us. They had been emailing us to inquire about the arrival time and whether we had food allergies. They were very caring and meticulous. We booked a semi...

Really the most wonderful Place to find to find out that your fiancé has been cheating on you for over a year! Only 7 rooms, the view was spectacular, and the food with ehime sake pairing was perfect. I really appreciated how the sommelier spent the time to go through all the details of the sake. The underground pool was so big and the sauna was great. In this time of year you get leaves and ocean...

Amazing stay in a beautiful hotel designed by Tadao Ando. Service, pool and breakfast were amazing. The room was really great but a tiny bit disappointed by the bathroom which was a bit weird and not so beautiful especially compared to the rest. Lunch was also so-so. We didn’t have dinner there but regretted the lack of simple options (only a very expensive one).

Staying in the hotel is like staying in an art museum. I really like the sunny restaurant. The breakfast and dinner are very exquisite and delicious. The cafe has many Tadao Ando books to read. I highly recommend the sea view room, which directly overlooks the Seto Inland Sea. You can enjoy it early in the morning. Watching the sea slowly grinding beans to make hand-brewed coffee, I really like the...

Extraordinary architecture, excellent service and good food. The in-room onsen has flat bed which is very relaxing I could stay there for a whole day. The hotel only has 7 rooms, very quiet and peaceful.

Nice location near JR Station. The room is kind old fashion, but clean. The staff are very nice and helpful.

Cleanish enough. Rooms were okay. Onsen baths cross the street for a fee (albeit reduced to 550¥). Easy access to everything Matsuyama city has to offer.... Buy a bit dated.

The hotel is located about a hundred meters from Matsuyama Station. The room was good size, looked recently renovated although the furniture was old and somewhat worn out. The room supplies are provided at the front desk and are available 24 hours. The room key must be used to turn the light by inserting it into a separate keyhole located on the wall panel.

Advantages: Located next to the JR station and the Matsuyama tram loop line, the transportation is very convenient. There are several restaurants downstairs next to it. Among them, the Japanese restaurant Tomiya, which is closest to the hotel, is recommended. It serves affordable home-cooked dishes. The owner is a kind old lady. Except that the food is a little slow, everything else is good. Disadvantages...

Located at the intersection of JR Matsuyama Train Station, buses and trams The transportation is very convenient. The hotel facilities are old, but very clean. The service staff are very nice, most of them are older sisters. Especially when the room is cleaned every other day, the service staff will not enter the room. The price is considered high value for money in Shikoku, Japan.

The breakfast buffet was delicious. There was also a hot spring nearby that was very affordable. The service was also polite and they kept our luggage both at check-in and check-out, so we were able to sightsee at our own pace. We could see a bit of Matsuyama Castle (*^^*)

If you are wondering where to board the bus, its right in front of starbucks at dogo onsen eki. The resort is not bad, worth the price, but nothing to shout about. If you dont want to take the bus, go up to the flight of stairs to the orange temple, the resort is abt 100metre from the carpark from the rear of the temple.

食事のお鍋のバイキングは初体験で凄く良かった。またデザートの種類が多く、どれも美味しくて大人も子供も大満足でした。 大浴場の露天風呂が素晴らしか った。

Best price and nice buffet dinner

The room is clean and comfortable. The hot spring is great.

Clean hotel and have lots of corner for relax time to use. If you want to Lawson Convenience store, u need spend 15 mins. Restaurant provide delicious food. Staff so nice

Super kind and passionate staffs. Room's clean and you can borrow Yukata in various designs. The onsen in the ground floor is great and well equipped and have nice open-air bath. It's on the top of the hill next to the Dogo onsen main building, but the hotel offers free shuttle bus from the hotel-Dogo onsen-Dogo station in every 30 minutes. I definitely would stay again if I go to Matsuyama.

Beautiful place. Surprisingly big. Highly recommended Very good dinner and breakfast has a very good variety too. Good hotspring with good variety - there are 2 floors with options to book private onsen too Friendly staff that is able to speak English There was shuttle bus to go to Dogo onsen. There were toys, toothbrush and yukata for kids too. Also ball pit and udon making for kids which was delightful...

High points: - Kid friendly Kaiseki meals: They actually make different meals for the kids. This was huge for my family. (Even though I personally have to apologize for the fact that one of my kids is a very picky eater.) - Large Bath Variety: They have two floors of baths, so about 6 different baths available at any given time, not including the private baths. - Sky Lounge for 12th floor rooms - A...

We didn't stay the night but went for the private onsen that are available to rent for 5,5k yen. The staff were friendly and helpful as we showed up with no reservation and were able to proceed to the bath right away. The after-bath drink was included, a refreshingly nice cold green tea. Very much recommended.

Very comfortable stay. The room is spacious and clean. staff was very friendly and helpful. At the dinner restaurant they adjust the meal plan for me even it’s the last minute information my food preferences. I couldn’t get his name but thank you very much. The shuttle’s very convenient and ran frequently.

It is a 50-year-old hotel, but it was recently remodeled and is clean. There are small events and the large bath is well-equipped, so it is recommended for families.

Staff are friendly and helpful.  Dinner is well served with a variety of delicious local dishes. The Onsen bath is clean and the facilities are good. It is very convenient to visit Dōgo Onsen and the shopping arcade as there is a free shuttle bus in every ten minutes. The rooms are tidy and spacious.

good location, right next to dogo bath house. the service is good and the amenities are outdated.

The service is very good. On site parking is provided. Location is easy to find. The staffs are nice and helpful.

The facilities are amazing and the onsen was super clean the food was great as it can be! I would totally go back. I just hope they have options for travelers with dogs. Where they have beautiful garden to walk around and if dog was allowed the stay would be more efficient and comfortable. Amazing place!

A very enjoyable onsen resort, the tatami room looks great and is very wonderfully designed.

Room is clean and comfortable. Their staff are generally friendly and helpful. The breakfast is fantastic. Onsen facilities is great.

Had an excellent stay here, and appreciate how the hotel is foreigner friendly. Japanese breakfast and dinner were delightful, a great selection of local food and fruit. Thoroughly enjoyed the onsen and the traditional Japanese room. Very close to Dogo onsen and the station Would recommend staying here!

The hotel staff were incredibly kind! I think I messed up dialing the phone and only my voice went through, but before I could figure out what to do, they came to my room to assist me. Both at check-in and check-out, they were just as lovely. Such great service for an affordable price!

While I felt that hotel prices in Matsuyama were a little on the expensive side, this hotel provided decent value for money. It's conveniently located near the tram station, and although the building isn't new, it was spotless. I had hoped to relax until the 10 AM check-out, but the cleaning of other rooms started, and it got quite loud. While some noise is to be expected, I really wish the staff wouldn...

The rooms are a decent size. On the first floor, there's a microwave and an ice machine for guests to heat food and grab ice. The hotel is located right behind Matsuyama Castle, with a hiking trail starting there that leads directly up to the castle, so you don't have to go all the way around to the front entrance. For transportation, it's conveniently close to Iyo Railway Shimizu-machi Station. If...

The location is highly recommended if you enjoy walking. However, even if you prefer not to walk extensively, there's a tram station and a 7-Eleven just a 1-2 minute walk directly outside the property, which is super convenient, especially for solo travelers. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the view from the property was fantastic. Being situated behind Matsuyama Castle, it's easily accessible...

The hotel is approximately a 20-minute walk from the bustling city center. Situated behind Matsuyama Castle and a nearby park, it offers a tranquil environment and pleasant views. The convenient tram system nearby also makes it ideal for exploring. If you enjoy walking and taking leisurely strolls, I highly recommend this place. The amenities are well-appointed, and both the hotel's hot spring (onsen...

The hotel is conveniently located at the foot of Matsuyama Castle Park. From the hotel, a convenient mountain path (walk left for a few hundred meters, then turn left again) offers a direct, pleasant 20-minute uphill walk to Matsuyama Castle, sparing you the ropeway trip. To reach the hotel from JR Matsuyama Station, take the Iyo Railway Loop Line (tram) from the front of the station (to your left...

Great room big and clean, big TV

this is a love hotel, and the room is super big，the bath room is super big too than you can spa inside

Room was spacious and very clean. Breakfast was good.

This really is the legendary couples' hotel, definitely not suitable for those with small children (you know what I mean!). But seriously, this is the biggest room I've ever stayed in in Japan!!! The room was so big we could open both our suitcases without them getting in the way. The bed was definitely a king-size. They also offer breakfast and free parking. All in all, for me, there are no downsides...

For the price it was a perfect stay and managed to relax and recover for our trip. Even if it’s a love hotel the fine garden chain has treated us very well.

Very good hotel with top tier equipment and food. I plan to use this hotel again.

Conveniently situated right next to Dogo Onsen. Rooftop Onsen has a lovely view of the city and is very clean.

Direct access to dogo onsen and shopping district from hotel lobby

Excellent location, have a "private road" to Dogo Onsen. Staff are really welcoming and helpful. Breakfasts are good. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone who visits the city.

Very nice hotel with Onsen included. Location excellent as well shopping and restaurants are very near.

Strongly recommend to book this hotel as the hotel staffs are nice, location is good and facilities are new.

The hotel is located very close to Dogo Onsen. It has a special path leading directly to the Onsen shopping street. There are a lot of choices for dinner and breakfast. It has all the facilities you are looking for.

I stayed here for 2 nights.. Very comfortable! Price as good. Location was perfect (near JR Matsuyama station and Iyotetsu station too). Staff was very friend and helpful!! Room was VERY Comfortable and spacious!!! I'll definitely stay here again!!

Room - passable. I got one which has mold on the window panes and curtains. Room smelt wet and the carpet very slightly moist. But the bed was comfortable at least and the temperature control worked. Unit bath was upgraded but tiny. Service - also good. Like in Japan, it's hard to go low. Like most biz hotels, they don't really encourage early check-ins but can hold your luggage if you arrive early...

It is very close to Matsuyama station but there are not convinience stores nearby. The building seems a bit old though, the rooms are OK. Breakfast was OK

Great location, close to Matsuyama station and streetcar. Room is not cramp and had good city view. I love the bed, have a great sleep.

The hotel is no longer called "NEW Kajiwara Hotel." The name is simply "Kajiwara Hotel." My room was clean and comfortable. Convenient location less than a five-minute walk from JR Matsuyama Station.

Great location - very close to the main JR station and the castle.

A beautiful place for an overnight stay - clean, new and the futon bedding was very comfortable. The public bath was quiet and peaceful and we also enjoyed the private bath in our room. We had dinner in our room which was delicious.

A perfect stay for an unforgettable birthday Everything was absolutely amazing! The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. The room was spacious, extremely comfortable, and well-equipped. We really appreciated being able to choose our own yukata upon arrival — such a lovely traditional touch. The private onsen in the room was a dream, and the public onsen was large and included a...

The hotel's location isn't great; it's in a relatively remote area, and the nearest convenience store is more than a 10-minute walk away. It's also about a 10-minute walk to the Dogo Onsen shopping street, which involves a rather steep incline. However, the onsen in the room is very comfortable, offers good privacy, has a large bath, and the room itself is quite spacious and comfortable.

such an amazing experience with excellent service relaxing and refreshing stay

Super nice modern Japanese-style hotel with first-class service.

As a Japanese hot spring travel enthusiast, I have stayed in more than a dozen hot spring hotels of various sizes with local characteristics, such as Boki, Noboribetsu, Hakone, Bessho, Misasa, Unzen, etc. It is no exaggeration to say that this Yachiyo is the most comfortable one I have ever stayed in. It is different from other old and outdated hot spring hotels. I booked a room with a private bath...

There is a large public bath on the 8th floor, but it is not that big. There is no jet bath or medicinal bath, just a regular public bath. The larger bath is about the size of 8 tatami mats, and the open-air bath right next to it is about the size of 3 tatami mats. There is a washing area for 4 people. It is not a fully equipped public bath, but it is much more relaxing than the small bathroom in the...

The staff were kind. Had some trouble communication using towels. (I don't ask for cleaning the room normally, so I wanted towels in advance. They said 'No', I need to charge for them. Even though I wouldn't ask for extra towels the following day. 🤷‍♀️ Nice location to stay. Nothing cozy or fancy. I liked the grand bath n ice candies on the 8th floor. The air purifier in the room needs to be cleaned

October 2025 I stayed in the Premium (New Wing). It's been a while since the hotel was renovated, but it's still beautiful. The elevator requires a key card, which may be more comfortable for women. There's a large public bath on the top floor, some of which is open-air. They also offer free ice cream. I'm a certified guide of the Shikoku 88, 20, and 36 Fudo Pilgrimage Sites Association. I mainly...

I appreciate the staff's polite service despite my late arrival.

The desk and chair in the room were nice, so I was able to work comfortably. Also, the large communal bath was nice.

The floor was dirty, there was dust, and the flowers were itchy.

Second time I stay there, very functional and near the station.

There were few amenities and there was no power outlet near the pillow so I couldn't charge my smartphone, which was disappointing. The bed was a little soft.

The hotel is great value for money, located right in front of Otemachi Station, and only a 5-minute walk from Matsuyama Station. The check-in receptionist was very friendly and made me feel very warm. Unfortunately, the lack of ventilation on each floor made it incredibly hot and stuffy. Even returning to the room at night, probably due to the western sun, it felt like a steamer. Even the peanut chocolate...

The hotel is conveniently located, just a 10-minute walk from Shin-Matsuyama Station, past the old station. Nearby options include McDonald's, ramen, udon, and donburi. It's also close to the city's train system (essential for getting to Dogo Onsen and Matsuyama Castle). The biggest issue was the hotel elevator, and even the room, which had a musty smell. Luckily, I brought some toilet water, originally...

I booked this hotel at short notice and was worried as the reviews on other sites were not very good, but my fears turned out to be unfounded. The front desk feels a little old-fashioned, but the staff are very friendly and were helpful even when I went out late at night. I stayed on the 8th floor, and the room was just retro-style but was clean everywhere. I don't know if some of the rooms have not...

The latest check-in is at 11pm. Fortunately, the hotel is very close to the airport. You can take the Airport Line bus and walk to JR Matsuyama Station in five minutes. The front desk staff is very friendly. Although they may not speak English very well, they still try their best to express the message they want to convey, which is commendable!

If you want a true Japanese experience amongst all the normal hotels then this is traditional and great.

Very good experience at the Dogoya hotel. The staf help me a lot to book New accomadation at shikoku. And the breakfast was super fresh and teastfull. Beautifull old house. I feel very welkom. I come back again. JOHANNES FROM HOLLAND.

It was my first trip to Japan with my friend. Wood house's mood was amazing. House Owner was so kind and nice. I really appreciate with his effort.

The Ryokan Dougoya was one of my best Japan experiences by far. The Dogo area is quaint but full of interesting shops, alleys, and restaurants without being wildly expensive or pretentious like can be found in some larger cities. The Ryokan itself is located just off the main street meaning it stayed quiet and comfortable the whole time while still having great access to everything nearby. Our host...

Beautiful little Ryokan with only 7 rooms in the Dogo area. We loved our 3 nights and really appreciated the host's style, advice and Hisa's japanese vegetable breakfast. All around are high rise hotels but you won't notice anymore once you're inside of Dougoya.

We stayed at Dougoya for two nights in late May and can’t recommend it more highly. - The property is a 90 year old factory that has been renovated and meticulously maintained. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with traditional tatami and futon bedding and some modern art touches too. - Bathrooms are shared and a kept to a high standard of cleanliness. There is a small onsen on site, which is...

Matsuyama was originally just meant to be a transfer stop on our way to Hiroshima, but in hindsight, I wish we had left Kotohira earlier and stayed two nights at Dogo Miyu instead of just one. When we arrived, our room wasn’t ready yet, but check-in went smoothly despite the limited English spoken. The staff still managed to give us clear guidance on what to see around town. After spending the day...

Here’s a refined and more fluid version of your review: Matsuyama was originally just meant to be a transfer stop on our way to Hiroshima, but in hindsight, I wish we had left Kotohira earlier and stayed two nights at Dogo Miyu instead of just one. When we arrived, our room wasn’t ready yet, but check-in went smoothly despite the limited English spoken. The staff still managed to give us clear guidance...

Excellent experience. Private soaking tub was amazing. Very gorgeous room. Meals were excellent. Miyu exceeded my expectation. I will book Miyu again next year. Its very high value prop. Since I saw miyu was a 2 star hotel, I lowered my expectation but I think this hotel should be a 4 star hotel.

Good service, clean environment, fantastic breakfast and wonderful smile :)

The staff were very friendly and the service was good. The comfortable rooms and facilities were also the best. The meals were also full of sincerity. This is a ryokan I would like to visit again.

A hotel with first-class facilities, including an indoor Japanese-style room with two double beds, an L-shaped sofa, an outdoor bath, a balcony with direct access to the bath and a balcony where you can enjoy the breeze. Breakfast is a set meal breakfast with rich variety and taste, including rice and miso. The soup can be replenished indefinitely. The only slight drawback is that you need to climb...

Because it was a last-minute trip, location was my top priority. It's right next to Dogo Onsen, making it a great location for strolling through the shopping district at night. We stayed in a tatami room for four, and aside from the initially unpleasant tatami smell, everything was fine. The large windows provided a beautiful view. Both dinner and breakfast were buffet-style, and I was very satisfied...

The lobby is very nice, but the regular rooms are old, the breakfast and dinner buffet is clean and varied, but there is nothing to eat, the hotel's private parking lot is 880 yen, but if you go a little further into the alley, there are private parking lots for 600 yen and 400 yen.

The open-air bath on the rooftop has a great view and feels great. The building is old but clean.

It is right behind the main building of Dogo Onsen, and it is close to the station and has easy access to everything. In particular, there are Korean staff members who are very kind and solve any questions or problems, which made me feel at home. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the hot spring is small but clean, and the open-air bath is on the rooftop, so you can enjoy the hot spring while...

Dogo Onsen Chaharu is a hot spring hotel that is full of modern style yet retains Japanese style. It is not far from Dogo Onsen Main Building and has convenient transportation. The rooms are stylishly designed with minimalist style, spacious and well-equipped. Some rooms also offer beautiful views, allowing you to relax. The hot spring facilities in the hotel are excellent, especially the glass-landscaped...

The location is nice. It is next to Dogo Onsen. The buffet dinner is also good, but the breakfast is so so. It charged 2200 yen for parking.

Its an old functional hotel that brought me back to the 80s. You can use the onsen located at reception level or walk across to the sister hotel for the onsen at level 11. Do remb to bring your towel from your room to the sister hotel onsen as they don't provide any but it does come with amenities inside. Also at the sister hotel, that is where u have your buffet breakfast and unlimited self service...

An Ok hotel but could be difficult for a big group checking in here especially when you are located at the extension branch because you need to go to another building with a very steep ramp though it also has stairs. Rooms in 01 series are huge while 02 is smaller. The staff at the breakfast and dinner restaurant are very kind and helpful. They have 2 onsen one at the main building and another one...

We reserved a room with meals set. The dinner served was so-so and it’s quite a surprise there’s a yakiniku dish available. However, the restaurant atmosphere isn’t decent at all, hygiene so-so and very crowded. BBQ smell everywhere. The Onsen in this particular resort was poorly decorated. You can also go to the partner hotel which serves a better Onsen. Both Onsen close early at 11pm. Be aware of...

I stayed here while visiting customers for business in the area. It is near the hot springs which is nice but was not really what I’d call a comfortable hotel room. I understand it is more of a traditional hotel near the hot springs and the focus must be the hot springs. It was not my cup of tea to go to the hot springs so I did not go there. The bed was pretty hard and the pillows were not very comfortable...

Onsen is tattoo friendly at late hours. Dinner was amazing with fish and tempura. Breakfast was also amazing. Rooms were spacious and comfortable.

Good price for the location and food, wifi only in the lobby and dinner/breakfast room. in house indoor onsen. cheap and safe parking. minutes away from the shopping street and convenient stores。。。

This is a famous onsen resort hotel. The room was spacious, and it came with a terrace and a private bath. The food was delicious too.

Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. The large public bath was practically empty, perhaps due to the time of day, allowing me to fully enjoy the hot springs and have a wonderful time.

We stayed here during the New Year's holiday, but the elevator was cold, and we had to go outside to use the laundry facilities in the basement. The entire building was just so cold. The dining room on the first floor was small, and we had to be considerate of the people sitting next to and behind us, which was disappointing. This room was also cold. We stayed as a family, but the room was small; it...

The front desk was completely uncommunicative, making the experience very disappointing. Furthermore, the wooden facilities were moldy. It was a shame that the room didn't offer a true onsen experience. I had come here specifically to enjoy the hotel.

The staff were very friendly and the food was luxurious and excellent, but the cleaning wasn't thorough. The air conditioning in the room hit the bed directly and it was cold. The hotel photos seem to be quite old. This may be due to Livemax's management policy, but the indoor bath was blackened and I didn't feel like taking a bath. I had high expectations, so I was disappointed.

The food is good, but the hotel staff don't speak English very well. They will try their best to meet the needs of guests. There is a table tennis room, but parking spaces are limited, so you may have to park on the street.
