Matsumoto hoteles

Ventajas: Very relaxing, nice Onsen that is easy to book privately, delicious Japanese food, spacious room. Hotel personnel will pick you up from the bus station (station name is Sawando, which google calls something else incorrectly). You will get a private dining room, and four out of eight total rooms come with a hot bath inside. Keep in mind that even though you have the hot bath, you won't have a shower in the room. You cannot use the hot bath to clean yourself. The only showers are the public ones, and one private that can be reserved. I initially found that to be inconvenient, but it really was not. Relaxation is about letting go of control! The bed is a Japanese futon, on the floor, but comfortable and warm even in the winter. They will put some kind of a hot-water filled feet warmer under the sheets, too.

Desventajas: Some amount of sake should have been included in the price of the dinner!

Ventajas: Fantastic traditional Japanese hospitality and beautiful food in an unusual location. Not for a second did they make us feel different or unwelcome due to our western/foreign background. We were here for 2 nights and was a highlight of our visit to Japan. A special thanks to Yuta Saitou for his patient help and support before and during our stay.

Desventajas: Very little not to like in this beautiful

Ventajas: The room is beautiful and comfortable. The staff is very helpful. I love to stay here.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: The ryokan is 5mins walk from Sawando bus stop, not big but super comfortable. I do like the hot spring and their lovely staffs. It’s a pity that I arrived one week before Kamikochi opened to public this spring. BTW, the starry sky view from the garden was really amazing.

Ventajas: We stayed here for just one night. It's our accommodation on the way we travelling from Shirakawago to Fujikawaguchiko. Hence, it's a wonderful stay with a lovely and relaxing environment. It's the ryokan that surouding by snowy mountains and provided supreme retreat. Staffs are very friendly and helpful even they don't speak English. Breakfast and dinner are fantastic. The portions were just right, not too much not too less.

Desventajas: We didn't expect there is no shower area in the room. Our room include the outdoor onsen, it's nice but the weather was too cold for bathing outside :-) However the private onsen that the ryokan provided was wonderful, we just need to book the time.

Ventajas: Excellent service. Very comfortable

Desventajas: The location close to a big road and parking lot was unappealing but easy to forget in the calm of the interior surroundings

Ventajas: In general the hotel is average; location is good for catching the bus at Sawando Bus Terminal for going to Kamikochi, it is less than 5 min walk.

Ventajas: A staff member picked us up and dropped us off at the bus stop which was so nice!

Ventajas: Really nice staff , really cool location

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: This is not one of these hotel-like hostels, but more than a private house. Take (I hope it is written in the correct way) was very nice and a good host. The house has a nice common area where it is easy to communicate with others. Thanks for hosting!

Desventajas: Hm, the weather?

Ventajas: Staff was super nice, the common area is very cosy and the location is perfect! They also have free rental bikes which was excellent.

Desventajas: The dorm got super warm during the night.

Ventajas: The staff is very kind and nice. We can be very easy and comfortable like our house!

Desventajas: No

Ventajas: Really close to Matsumoto castle and nice shops or cafes. About 10 minutes walk from JR Matsumoto station. Quiet and cozy place with really kind owner. Small kitchen where you can prepare own food or make tea/coffee for free :). Wooden lockboxes for each bed separately.

Ventajas: Free bike and laundry Castle

Desventajas: There was no sunshade at all in te room.

Ventajas: Location is great near the Matsumoto castle and the staff helpful. I'll back someday.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Free Protein shakes!

Desventajas: The mattress was a little thin

Ventajas: Super cozy and rustic look to the place.

Ventajas: Very homey and cozy comfy space. Helpful staffs. Great location. Free bike rent. Lugagge storage before and after check in/out. Cooking space. Washing machine and shoes dryer. Matsumoto is tourist friendly, not-so -touristic city.

Desventajas: Shower shared with many guests.

Ventajas: Personal amable. Te dejan bicicletas. Justo enfrente del castillo

Desventajas: Dormitorio enano, nos tocó uno que daba directamente a la cocina

Ventajas: Takeru nos ayudo mucho con un problema que tuvimos. Fue muy atento y de gran ayuda!! Gracias Takeru!! El alojamiento esta muy bien, buen ambiente y muy cerca del castillo. Bicis de alquiler gratis para clientes, y todo tipo de facilidades. Cocina, nevera.. etc!! Fue la opcion perfecta!

Ventajas: Everything - the staff. The ambience. The bed. The kitchen. The whole place was warm and exactly what I needed as a solo traveller. The owners were wonderful and up for a good chat :)

Ventajas: Wonderful place to stay, with so many thoughtful little touches! Great location close to the castle. Staff gave great advice on places to eat and visit. Loved our stay and would definitely stay again.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: La bebida gratis se cortesía, un buen sake.

Desventajas: Considero que estuvo bastante bien.

Ventajas: Very well thought out, attention to detail with bathroom accessories etc. (Free ear plugs, nice shampoo/soap etc.). Nice decor. Bar and kitchen we'll set out. Nice drinks at bar. Free welcome drink.

Desventajas: No windows into the room for fresh air at night. Very few showers, but never had to wait. Kitchen could do with some bigger bowls for noodles and breakfast.

Ventajas: Clean, comfortable, cosy and great value for money. We stayed in one of the private Japanese-style rooms which was quiet, comfortable and immaculately clean. There was every facility and amenity we could need with many thoughtful details. The atmosphere in the whole building was friendly and warm. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Great location for transport and for seeing the many beautiful sights of Matsumoto. Excellent recommendations from the hosts for restaurants, cafés etc. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Ventajas: Really kind people working there, I had a lovely time! The bed was comfortable and the shower convenient as near the dorm. The common space is also big and spacious.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Tabi-Shiro was very welcoming, with lovely staff, charming design touches and a real sense of community. They promoted local crafts and suggested independent cafes etc to visit, and the location near the castle was great. Also, the staff even phoned a local sento to see if guests with tattoos could go - they really went above and beyond to help us enjoy our stay.

Desventajas: The only problems were things like some sound getting into our bedroom, and light through the thin blinds - but it's an old-style Japanese building, so this isn't unusual. And they provided eye masks and ear plugs for free, as well.

Ventajas: Tabi Shiro is hands down the best accommodation I have found in my travels. I only intended to pass through Matsumoto but after finding tabi shiro three days ago I am still here! Tabi-shiro is incredible. A wonderful young family owns Tabi shiro and restored and renovated an old style Japanese home into this incredible lodging and lounge. Every detail has been thought through and the place is welcoming, comfortable, impeccably clean, has a great bar, delicious and cheap breakfast, the most comfortable beds I've found in Japan, fast wifi, great common space, laundry, nice bathroom facilities (with lavender scented body products!!). Unlike so many other hotels/hostels Tabi Shiro is clean, comfortable, has a perfect location AND has so much unique character while still being affordable. In my experience if you are looking for lower budget affordable lodging you don't expect to find places that are clean, cheap AND have character (usually you get one out of three or at best two). Bikes are also available to rent and you get a free drink at the bar when you check in! Tabi shiro also has a custom map of the city that they made for guests to use. As I have explored Matsumoto for the past few days I have only gone to stores, attractions and restaurants that Tabi shiro recommended and they've all been wonderful. The people at Tabi shiro make it the most special, they are so welcoming, kind and friendly. The family that owns it is lovely and everyone they employ is as well, I made friends immediately and simply don't want to leave. If you do anything at all in Japan stay at Tabi shiro, it's been the absolute highlight of my three week trip!

Ventajas: You get a free drink when you arrive and the accomodation is very close to Matsumoto castle and public transport so is great for sight seeing :)

Ventajas: I love the design all around , It mad me feel like living in cozy Japanese home Staff were very friendly , He help me to carry a heavy luggage to my room Appreciated !!

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Nice common space

Desventajas: A little bit stuffy in room

Ventajas: La planta baja: zona de estar, cocina

Desventajas: Las escaleras de acceso a la planta primera. Estrechas y empinadas. No había espacio si se extendian los futones. La mesa y las dos sillas estaban dentro del armario por falta de espacio. El olor de la habitación por el material del suelo.

Ventajas: Excellent stay in the mountains. Very friendly and helpful host. Real Japan Experiance!!!!

Ventajas: Such a lovely host family. We had only breakfest and it was delicious. Home made bread. Our hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcome and their english was very good. We had a great stay.

Ventajas: Great home style inn, cosy atmosphere, hot tub in bathroom a nice surprise. Good breakfast with homemade bread. Lovely helpful couple and son. Beautiful forest surrounds.

Desventajas: Bed could be a bit softer but that is western preference.

Ventajas: The hosts were exceptionally helpful. And the river outside made a beautiful sound.

Desventajas: Travelling by bus was OK but better to have a car for this location if yo book without breakfast/dinner :)

Ventajas: The friendly staff, helped us with recommendations for sightseeing around the place. Food is really good.

Desventajas: only two shower rooms at the facility.

Ventajas: Mozushiro is a rare experience that combines all that's best about Japan. Amazing hospitality, great food, fantastic location in the amazing alps with a ton of things to see around (And a great Onsen nearby) and spotless accommodation with everything you need for a very good price.

Ventajas: Clean and charming, Mizushiro is wonderful. The staff and brilliant and friendly, and the food was wonderful. The bath is also the icing on the cake!

Ventajas: La ubicación es excelente, está cerca de muchas atracciones de la zona. Situado en el bosque, provee de hermosas vistas al exterior. Nosotros contabamos con auto, lo cual fue muy bueno para tener autonomia y poder recorrer la zona. El lugar está en medio de las montañas, un lujo! El hotel está atendido por una familia muy amorosa y atenta. Nos informaron sobre la zona, las atracciones, el clima, los caminos para hacer trekking, etc.. muy buena atención y muy dedicados. La comida es riquisima y casera, el desayuno y la cena estilo japones, una delicia! Disfrutamos mucho de la estadia ! Ojalá pronto volvamos! Gracias por todo!

Ventajas: Delicious breakfast ,great location, beautiful surrounding, and the awesome and kind host

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: It was such a cozy, peaceful and warming place with loving hosts. The shared bathrooms were incredibly clean and spotless, So were the toilets! We instantly required takeaway breakfast bentos because we needed to leave the place early, Mrs. loving&caring Sueko prepared us delicious bentos with her original homemade cookies. Also, Mrs.Sueko’s dinner was one of our best meals in Japan. We definitely recommend this place to everyone we know. If there is opportunity, we will visit again.

Desventajas: We wish we could stay there longer !

Ventajas: The View around is very beautiful. There’s very warm and lovely inn. The staffs are very nice and helpful. Dinner and breakfast are great.

Ventajas: Extraordinary views. World class service. Easily accessible to Kamikochi, Matsumoto, and Takeyama. Breakfast and dinners are so exquisite. The onsen facilities are well kept and super relaxing after a long day. I am looking forward to coming back here again, the experience was unlike any other mountain retreat I've ever had.

Desventajas: It would help to read up a little bit on ryokan and onsen etiquette, or else you will be gravely confused.

Ventajas: Great experience, awesome place to stay if you want to stay in a authentic ryokan. They if you get in contact they will pick you up from Matsumoto train station and take you to the property and then next day drop you off at kamakochi. If your a fussy eater you will not like it here / go hungry as there’s no western food and even no option what you want to eat. I found the traditional meals good but had to try it once. The onsen was also one of the best. Great experience

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Excellent Breakfast and dinner. Hotel staff make our stay very comfortable. Onsen was great and relaxing. Appropriate free shuttle to Kamikochi.

Desventajas: Not outside private onsen. Not easy to arrive there if you don’t have car.

Ventajas: Impecable experiencia Ryokan. Baños interiores y exteriores con una vista maravillosa. Las comidas fueron deliciosas y se adataron a un pedido a ultima hora de comida vegetariana. El personal muy atento y apasionado por el servicio. Fuimos al festival de Takayama con un rental car y el camino al hotel ( 1 hr ) es tan bonito que pasa volando el tiempo.

Desventajas: Perfecto

Ventajas: Very friendly staff, did their best to speak English. Private onsen, so you can join with your partner. Very Nice diner. Close to Kamikochi. Provided shuttle bus from Matsumoto station and to Kamikochi.

Desventajas: Mattress was to thin for me Japanse breakfast not my cup of tea Not cheap, but compared to other Ryokans in neighborhoud reasonably priced

Ventajas: La ubicacion, al lado de la entrada del parque natural

Desventajas: Limpieza y la comida “excesivamente japonesa”

Ventajas: We really loved our stay here and wished we could have stayed longer. We drove a hire car which was fine so no issues getting there. Staff were really friendly and helpful and spoke English when needed. Dinner was excellent (traditional Japanese) and breaky good as well. The view was fantastic from the room and the lobby / restaurant. Would highly recommend staying. Very peaceful. The baths were nice as well - one outdoor and two indoor.

Desventajas: WiFi only in lobby not rooms.

Ventajas: Not enough words to describe this magnificent ryokan in the middle of nature. This has been my best stay so far- it exceeded all expectations . The service is at its highest - it is a lifetime experience. The all place will leave you speechless. It’s worth every cents. One night was not enough for sure. I suggest 2 nights if you want to explore the area to enjoy - recommended to nature lover. You won’t be disappointed

Desventajas: There is absolutely nothing I didn’t like - the staff did their best to meet my needs.

Ventajas: Very friendly staff, free tea in the room all the time, free transfer to Kamikochi and Matsumoto. Onsen is very nice, especially the male one, where you get a direct view on the mountains. Plenty of food for Breakfast and Dinner, changing daily.

Desventajas: The pillows were insanely hard - to an extent that they were uncomfortable. Private Onsen needs an overhaul - it's way overdue. Located in the middle of nowhere, there are no other options to escape but with car. Fish, tofu and misosoup may not be your first choice for breakfast, when you are used to european (continental) breakfast. Although very good, it might not be for everybody's palate.

Ventajas: Friendly and helpful people. They speak English really well and explain everything to you. The food was fresh and really great, but eating fish at 7 in the morning might not be for everyone. A shuttle gets you to the next bus stop and pics you up. Great place and Kamikochi is cool too.

Desventajas: The building seems a bit old and the room is small. Price is a bit high, even with the great food. The orange juice for breakfast is horrible.

Ventajas: The location was good.

Desventajas: The Onsen was not clean, as well we the private bath.

Ventajas: The staff offered five star service through our stay. They helped us plan each day, the rooms were cleaned as soon as we left for breakfast and the waits for the shuttle bus were very short. The area is stunning but the staff really made our trip.

Desventajas: Although we enjoyed it, the private onsen could do with a refresh. However, the outdoor baths in the public onsen more than made up for it.

Ventajas: Just a positive experience. The staff is a family who owns the location, and they are very welcoming and kind. They were very hospitable, and me and my traveling companion want to return soon and stay in this area again, because of how kind the staff was, how interesting and comfortable the location and surrounding wilderness were, and how we were able to get to many interesting places without too much of a difficult drive. Ice cream was also terrific. There is also an area where guests can talk and play music. It was very nice. Furthermore, breakfast was delicious, I would recommend you get it in addition to your stay.

Desventajas: At night, the drive can be a little scary and disorienting. So be sure to have your path picked out.

Ventajas: - Wonderful family that owns the b&b - great location - varied and tasty breakfast - easy to feel relaxed after the hustle and bustle of the cities

Ventajas: The cake shop inside was the top. Fabulous ice cream. It was so confy and cozy. Good selection of music. Staff super helpfull

Ventajas: It is right in the beautiful mountain area. I did lots of walks trough the woods to waterfalls and ponds! And the bus stop is right in front of their house and brings you to Katayama, Kamikochi, Matsumoto and other places! You can enjoy their delicious cakes too, as they have a bakery!!!

Desventajas: enjo

Ventajas: This guesthouse B&B really feels like home! Really warm welcome, super information and tried everything to make our stay as good as possible. Owner lent us warmer clothes for a bike up the mountains. View and experience on of the highlights of Japan for us...WOW!

Ventajas: The most Lovely people, beautiful surroundings. Nice room en good breakfast. Definitely would suggest it!

Desventajas: Nothing. It was wonderful!

Ventajas: amazing staff, very cozy

Ventajas: Delicious breakfast with fruits and salat. Cosy lounge and a nice hot spring in the basement. Very helpful and easy going hosts.

Desventajas: Could have been cleaner

Ventajas: Its my first time in a capsule hotel and this hotel meets my expectation. The capsule provides a lot of privacy even though its better if each capsule has door as I realized I needed to put my things in the locker, anyone can enter my capsule.

Desventajas: It's quite noisy at night when people take shower because my capsule is near the bathroom. The noise was shut out if I stayed in my bed and closed the curtain though. It's a bit difficult to find the hotel as its in the 6th floor of a building but its very near the train station which is a plus!

Ventajas: Location was very good! Literally one street away from the trainstation. And also nice to have your own little room.

Desventajas: The lady at the front desk was not very welcoming and the hotel didn’t have a good vibe/feel to it. Good that i only stayed one night.

Ventajas: Clean and spacious room by Japanese standards. Good value for money.

Desventajas: Although not far from the station, it's a little isolated down a little street. Also, the hotel starts on the 6th floor of a building, so it's a little strange when you arrive for the first time.

Ventajas: Great location and facilities also the staffs very kind and helpful. There will be my first choice to stay at Matsumoto.

Ventajas: very clean and good location

Desventajas: very poor breakfast option

Ventajas: Ubicación a 3 minutos estación JR. Comodidad camas. Habitación muy grande. Desayuno correcto por 500yens.

Desventajas: Todo perfecto. Lo único es que no reponían lo que se terminaba en el desayuno.

Ventajas: A very close walk to Matsumoto Station, it was very nice. Free Onsen for the men. Also, when I thought of a capsule hotel, I thought that it would be very cramp, however there was plenty of sleeping space. Free tea is always nice. I'd like to go again, but also get their breakfast. It's a pretty good deal. Also I read a bit of One Piece manga there, but all the manga is in native Japanese, just to warn you if you are not familiar with reading in Japanese.

Desventajas: I can't really think of anything to be honest.

Ventajas: Everything is perfect.

Desventajas: No

Ventajas: Friendly and helpful staffs

Desventajas: -

Ventajas: La ubicación, al lado de la estación de tren y cerca del castillo y de la zona turística. Descubrimos un mercado escondido dentro el edificio a la vuelta de la esquina buenísimo para cenar.

Desventajas: Las camas son horriblemente incómodas, duras como una piedra, como si durmieras en una tabla. El día que dormimos en otro sitio en futones me pareció mas cómodo. Dolor de espalda terrible. Pagamos muy cara la noche y esperabamos más. Hablo de la habitación privada doble.

Ventajas: La ubicación, muy cerca de las estaciones, que era lo que buscaba. La limpieza y utensilios para baño que ponían a disposición.

Ventajas: Hotel con cabinas para dormir correctas. Baño surtido con todo tipo de productos. Ceca de la estación de tren.

Desventajas: un poco lejos del castillo y de la zona mas céntrica.

Ventajas: Uso de opciones privadas gratis fue de lo más destacado. Por lo demás, una opción limpia y cómoda, con buena comida y entretenimiento nocturno.

Ventajas: High quality and good location The staff were welcoming and the highest level of professionalism I have experienced. A fantastic experience.

Desventajas: It was excellent

Ventajas: The hotel staff were so lovely and welcoming. We were greeted with tea and cake on arrival. We had a great check in experience, they explained everything very well and spoke good English. Our room was set up with a couple of tatami seats first and they made our beds during dinner. The private onsen was amazing (you can book it on arrival, it’s free to use for 40 minutes and it’s 500 yen for extra 30 minutes) - the view of Matsumoto downtown at night was stunning. Our traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast were such an amazing experience - we were sat in a private dining area and the dinner had three courses with around 15 different little dishes on the table! We will definitely stay here again if we are ever back in Matsumoto. In terms of location, it was easy to get to/from the hotel from/to Matsumoto train station - a direct bus was around 300 yen and taxi was around 2,200 yen.

Ventajas: A great family run hotel. All the staff were so helpful, nothing was ever too much trouble

Desventajas: If I were to be picky, I would have like slightly thicker futon

Ventajas: Elaborate Japanese breakfast... Private hot tub rooms... My limited Japanese language skills were not an issue, but much staff spoke little English

Ventajas: The traditional decor. The 3 outdoor baths for couples and families. The indoor baths. The restaurant. Quality of the dinner and the free after dinner concert. The free shuttle into town at ten in the morning.... The good English of the staff and their friendliness. The convenience store right outside.....

Desventajas: You have to take a taxi everywhere.

Ventajas: Friendly staff and cosy environment. Nice & sumptuous dinner & breakfast. There is an evening free cultural performance at the hotel. Onsen was great too!

Desventajas: Located in an Onsen area, so be prepared for little or no evening activities. But there's a convenient store just around the corner. Need transport to city or tourist attractions. The trade-off for a nice quiet night.

Ventajas: The food provided was excellent both breakfast and dinner. The western bed and futons were hard but after asking for three futon beds it was quite comfortable. The staff were very polite and helpful and the hot spring spa was relaxing.

Desventajas: Hard beds and pillows

Ventajas: Lovely people. Very calm and traditional

Desventajas: Unfortunately, the room next to each mine quarreled loudly. The wall wasn’t soundproof.

Ventajas: Todo. Ubicacion (buena para nosotros aunque en las afueras de Matsumoto) facilidad de aparcamiento, amabilidad del personal, experiencia de baño onsen privado, desayuno, cena con concierto de arpa, tienda de recuerdos... creo que no se me escapa nada. Para volver.

Ventajas: The private Onsen are amazing and free of charge. The dinner consisted of several courses with many attention to details. Everything we had was excellent, especially the home made Soba noodles are great (best ones we had in Japan)! The japanese style rooms are quite spacious and very clean. Although the hotel is a bit older, everything is in a very good condition.

Desventajas: The WiFi connection is bad. Especially in the room.

Ventajas: Breakfast was traditionally Japanese and had freshly cooked omelettes which I enjoyed.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Hotel is easy to find and easy to get to the castle from it. Room was basic, but the bath room was just exactly what we needed after few days of walking. And it has plenty of amenities and a beer vending machine on top floor.

Desventajas: Nothing much to complain about. Just an odd thing - After check in, if you want to go out, you have to hand in the key at the reception and upon returning to hotel you get it back.

Ventajas: Near to main train station, nice onsen area in hotel, has nice little gestures like free ramen service for supper.

Ventajas: Great brrakfast Free ramen Free water and coffee Free onsen Nice room Confort pyjamas Good location

Desventajas: No

Ventajas: Great location near the train station and castle. Clean and large room. Good breakfast

Ventajas: Very good in general (convenience location, clean room, nice staffs). Extra bonus (onsen with natural water, free ramen at the evening)

Ventajas: La cercanía de la estacion. La habitacion comoda y limpia. El desayuno exquisito, y por la noche sirven una sopa gratis buenisima

Ventajas: The onsen was nice!

Desventajas: Room was small.

Ventajas: Location Laundry Evening noodles

Ventajas: Very convenient for railway and bus stations. Free coffee and juice available all the time and ramen late at night. Casual garments were provided for use within the hotel, particularly when using the onsen. Location in centre of city, so convenient for visiting local sites. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Plenty of restaurant options close by and hotel provided some discount vouchers to sample a variety of local food.f

Desventajas: Can't think of any dislikes.

Ventajas: Location was excellent, near to the train, all interesting places especially the Matsumoto Castle. Staff are respectful and always smiling. Breakfast was excellent and you can always get coffee anytime....Really a good place to be

Desventajas: None

Ventajas: The dinner and breakfast were excellent. The baths were fantastic and the staff were excellent.

Ventajas: Absolutely outstanding attention to the customer 4 Different Onsens Traditional Japanese experience Tranquil/remote location

Desventajas: Wine selection somehow limited Lounge only open 15:00 to 19:00

Ventajas: Amazing Japanese style room — actually several rooms — with our own private, outdoor onsen bath. From the highly professional staff and personalised check-in to the stylish fine dining evening meal, the experience was amazing. Everything was very well organised and slick, down to our room being set up for sleep (!) while we were eating dinner. The bus service that got us there was easy to find and comfortable. Even the corridors smelt amazing. This feels like a truly Japanese experience.

Desventajas: The bathroom itself — not the onsen — could do with an update and a better shower. It slightly took the sheen off an otherwise gorgeous room. Our air conditioning also didn't appear to work, or at least we couldn't figure it out and there were no instructions.

Ventajas: Beautiful Onsen in the mountains

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: We loved our stay. We stayed for four nights, and we were worried that was going to be too long, especially when a typhoon hit which meant we couldn’t go outside for our whole stay. However, a combination of the amazing meals, our private onsen and relaxation area, massages and other perks meant we didn’t get bored at all. In fact, we loved it. It’s pricey, but worth it for the quality you’re getting.

Desventajas: More hooks and hangers in the room!

Desventajas: They didnt have kids menu for dinner, everything charged the same as adults, eventhough kids couldnt take it.

Ventajas: Absolutely loved our stay and only wish we had stayed longer! Staff were so lovely and welcoming, from our pick up at the station through to our check in on arrival. This was by far one of our most memorable places for our entire 2.5 week trip though Japan. As this was our first stay at a Ryokan and experiencing an onsen it did not disappoint and exceeded our expectations. The included kaiseki dinner was well worth it and they even personalised our dessert to wish us a happy anniversary. Wonderful attention to detail and Japanese hospitality at it's finest!

Desventajas: Very minor, toilet/bathroom smelled a little. However this may be due to the location of the accommodation?

Ventajas: Food was great, the atmosphere look more like a high class French restaurant.

Desventajas: We reached there around 6:30pm, it was a bit late due to traffic, it was not easy to find, it located on top of a mountain. The room that they gave, not same as the room I reserved on booking.com, we complained and has to pay extra 4000Yen to upgrade.......it wasted us almost an hour handling this! Onsen in the room not up to standard, and I feel it may be not real hot spring, Because of the temperature and lack of certificate.

Desventajas: Japanese dinner took way too long. Became an enjoyable.

Ventajas: The staff were very friendly and extremely caring

Desventajas: The public bath too small and not hot

Ventajas: Our twin room was spacious and comfortable with a small refrigerator, good shower and tea and coffee provided daily. Reception staff excellent and English spoken. Cleaning staff friendly and obliging. Buffet dinner on 2 nights had a mix of Japanese and Western food. French dinner was very good. Location of hotel right opposite Kappabashi bridge and river and a few minutes walk from bus station.

Desventajas: Not a thing.

Ventajas: clean

Desventajas: food

Ventajas: Location is good, easy find.

Desventajas: Too commercial. Definitely overpriced. Basically no service at all. Staff just introduced every necessary information, and watched me to carry my heavy luggage myself. Facility was just like a budget hotel, while price is close to a 5 star. Service was even worse than a budget hotel. Breakfast and dinner was buffet style, very limited choices.

Ventajas: Location and view

Desventajas: Food

Ventajas: In the center of the trial

Desventajas: The spa is not classics

Ventajas: Incredible view from the room

Desventajas: Dinner was lovely but felt like you were rushed through the courses a little bit

Ventajas: The hotel is nice with friendly staff. It is convenient to get to the town by bus.

Desventajas: Would be nicer if we could have choices for meals instead of being a set menu.

Ventajas: Everything. From the staff welcoming us to the Ryokan through to the room, the food (!!!), the onsen and finally one of the staff running after us to hand us an umbrella as we checked out and left Matsumoto.

Ventajas: Friendly staff, very good food, nice room, very nice small gardens with fish. You can taste local wines by glass (to pay additionally). Private hot tub can be rented and it is quite good - with huge inside and small outside tub. Though outside one is too shallow.

Desventajas: There was an old smell of smoke in the room. There is no hot tub in every room like in some other ryokans for the same price. Location is not great.

Ventajas: Breakfast nice and varied, though very strict in the (no)choice of time.

Desventajas: No shower in the room in a 4-star ryokan! They told us rooms with shower only assigned to occupancy by more than two people. Quite discriminatory/unacceptable.

Ventajas: We have higly appreciated he kindness of the staff. The check-in and the check-out procedures were well organised The rooms and the dinner were really nice. We love the Onsen, free tea, coffee and sweet cakes. We were served as Queen and King. This ryokan is highly recommended.

Desventajas: It was perfect

Ventajas: The whole experience. The staff, the onsen, the food, the room all of it

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Fantastic staff and fantastic food

Desventajas: Everything was just perfect

Ventajas: The onsen was very nice. The dinner as yummy, consisting of many nice dishes. We liked the little treats at the evening as well as the bus transfer they organized to visit the Sakura festival viewing of the Kumamoto castle at night.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Everything was just awesome. It was really a dream to stay there.

Ventajas: Free bike, amazing staff very helpful, the location was good near the castle(if you take the bike you can go out to the center at the evening), the bad was comfort, the lounge.

Desventajas: The WiFi wasn’t so strong, nosy as usual to a doorms, the shower a bit strange but nice.

Ventajas: My dad stays here for 3 nights and the staff are really nice and helpful. They can speak in English and it helps my dad a lot during his stay here. My dad get to explore Matsumoto with free rental bicycle and he really enjoys it. I'm really happy that my dad enjoyed his stay here.

Desventajas: When we booked this place, my dad stays alone in this guesthouse for a 2 nights and it is a little scary at night as mixed bed dormitory is at the back of the house. The ceiling is pretty low and my dad knock his head a few times ^^;

Ventajas: Great meal downstairs

Desventajas: Earlier check in

Ventajas: I only stayed here for a night and luckily I booked this accommodation as I didn't receive any futon in my room at International House. When I was here, me and my dad is the only people in this place and it is really cool place as it was a miso factory previously. This guesthouse is the closest and cheapest accommodation to Shinshu University, I recommended this guesthouse for people who their family coming to visiting. The staff are friendly and helpful as well.

Desventajas: There's only one bathroom and it might be a little crowded if there's a lot of people in the guesthouse.

Ventajas: The guesthouse has a vintage feel, there is free coffee and tea as well. The staff were friendly and the bedsheets were nicely folded. There are two areas you can sit and relax in. They have many matsumoto brochures and information availiable.

Desventajas: The outside door is locked at night, the keypad is a little difficult to use so i struggled with it for a few minutes. Keep in mind if you go out late that the floorboards do creak and thr lighting is a little dim. So set up your bed and things before you go out!

Ventajas: very nice staff very interesting house nice common area kitchen with free snacks and tea was available

Desventajas: common area and mixed dorm are only seperated by a curtain so light hit me in my bed from outside

Ventajas: Great straff, awesome people. Definetly would reccomend staying there.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Short and nice stay, very helpful staff.

Ventajas: El trato del personal es muy amable y salva un poco el guesthouse.

Desventajas: Solamente había una ducha. No tiene aire acondicionado y el wifi no iba del todo bien. De 11 de la mañana a 4 de la tarde no puedes estar en el alojamiento.

Ventajas: 1. Location (close to the castle); 2. Knowledgeable staff with great recommendations around the city

Ventajas: Me senti muy comodo en este guesthouse. La manera de explicar cosas y las reglas de rutina son perfectas. El staff, en este caso Kuri, da mucha alegría. Muy amable, contento, con ganas de ayudar y dar consejos. Zona de lounge y de comer super guay. Daria 12 puntos si se podía

Ventajas: Fácil de encontrar desde la estación de tren. Incluye desayuno. Limpio y cómodo. Sin duda me alojaría allí de nuevo.

Ventajas: Everything. Comfy beds, good breakfast, helpful staff.

Ventajas: Great location near the station.. Plenty of cheap eats eats around the area.. Good size comfortable room.

Desventajas: Nothing really except we were unable to check in 30 minutes early....claimed the room wasn't ready...

Ventajas: Great location next to the station, very impressed by facilities and staff. Very good value for money!

Ventajas: La habitación más grande de todo nuestro viaje en Japón! La cama comodísima y muy grande, las amenities, todo. Nos encantó. El baño, por otro lado, también muy espacioso a diferencia de otros hoteles. El desayuno estilo bufette muy variado y abundante, en los bajos del hotel, tenía opciones occidentales.

Desventajas: Nada. Todo perfecto.

Ventajas: Loved the space, amenities, and location. Wished I had booked our room for an additional day!

Ventajas: Excellent location midway between Matsumoto Station and the Castle. The room was larger than is usual in Japan and very well appointed. There were also a number of small additional touches, such as bath salts and slippers we could keep, that were very nice. Staff were very courteous and pleasant to deal with.

Desventajas: Nothing we didn’t like about the property.

Ventajas: The hotel was a close walk to both the train station and Crow Castle. There was a convenience store nearby, and it seemed like a nice area if we had scheduled more time.

Desventajas: The rooms and the hotel overall were a bit dated.

Ventajas: Good service

Desventajas: Very expensive for what you get - there appear to be better priced options around the same area.

Ventajas: Clean.

Desventajas: No.

Ventajas: We loved it. The staff were very helpful and the amenities were terrific. We were able to do our Laundry which was handy as we had been on the move for a week. Also we could heat up some food in a microwave if we didn’t feel like eating out after sightseeing all day. Great place

Ventajas: The hotel was generally clean and in an excellent location. It was an easy walk from the train station. The staff was super friendly and went out of their way to help.

Desventajas: My only complaint was my fault, not theirs. I somehow reserved smoking rooms and the smoke was so bad even with air purifiers running we had trouble sleeping. If you are not a smoker, be careful not to make the same mistake.

Ventajas: Parking justo al lado del hotel. Desayuno muy completo. Lavandería para clientes. Habitaciones amplias (en términos japoneses).
