Albergues en Matsuyama

Ventajas: The place is new and very nice, the dormitory is spacious and every bed has curtain, plugs and personal light. I appreciated the free tea and coffee available on the first floor and the availability of electric bed warmer, since i'm always cold. The staff is friendly and there is a nice atmosphere. The location is great, only 5 minutes from Dogo Onsen and the tram stop.

Ventajas: I liked that the guesthouse was close to the Dogo Onsen and how the owner explained the history of the place!!!

Ventajas: Very friendly owner, worried from the photos it would be shabby but it was actually very clean and chic. Fantastic location for dogo onsen and the surrounding area and no curfew

Desventajas: Not a problem for me but some people might not like the fact that there’s no laundry

Ventajas: Nice and clean guesthouse with a common area for relaxing. Since we arrived on the last flight in, the owner waited for us to arrive and checked us in. The rooms were spacious, there was plenty of room to put your luggage and not disturb other guests. The location is close to the main walking street, by the famous onsen and tram station.

Desventajas: Minor thing, but the rooms were on the 2nd floor and the washrooms were on the 1st and 3rd floors. However, it was nice that the mix room had 8 beds, the female room had 6 beds and there's 1 private room, so you're only sharing the facilities with ~15 other people at most.

Ventajas: The hostel is in a perfect location, just behind Dogo Onsen and a few steps away from basically all the attractions. It's cozy and very well furnished, comfortable, clean and super fair price. Shimpei's availability and kindney is definitely a big plus!

Desventajas: Lights in the dorm switch automatically on at 7am, that might be a bit annoying if you're still sleeping. I was awake already, so not a bother at all, but just a tiny detail if I have to find a small negative point.

Ventajas: Quality guesthouse. Owner Shimpei moved to Matsuyama to live with his wife and sorta just built this place to live out an old dream of his- to own a hostel. Location is top quality being right next to dogo onsen and there's a great hand drawn map you get with some lovely places to eat- brilliant little coffee shops an local restaurants. Had a nice time here, it's a simple place but the kind staff, friendly guests and free tea and coffee made the stay very comfortable.
