Southern Cross Inn Matsumoto

“The location was phenomenal. It was less than a 5-minute walk to Matsumoto Castle. We loved that the hotel had parking at a heavily discounted rate compared to public parking. Breakfast was a hot breakfast which we enjoyed. Also, the room and bathroom were clean and astoundingly, we had a room large enough for our family of 5 and probably one or two pieces of luggage if we had had any. That's amazing. Typically we can barely turn around in Japanese hotel rooms.”

“Very clean, friendly staff.”

“They did a great job with COVID precautions, everything was clean, we could see the castle from our room, the 24hr coffee machine was a lifesaver and helped us further reduce our exposure. Nicely sized bathrooms and, as a family of 4 with two small children, the room was an excellent size and great value. Plenty of nearby parks (including the castle grounds) for the kids to walk and the hotel was on a nice quiet street. We would definitely stay here again if we end up in Matsumoto!”

“Breakfast.”
