Matsuyama Tokyu Rei Hotel

Good value for money. Great location, close to everywhere.

The front desk should be more warm welcome.

Location

Small room.

Best location Quality of staffs

Not really

The hotel is at a central location close to the main shopping street, plenty of restaurants and Matsuyama Castle are all in easy walking distance. The breakfast on New Year's day was especially good, with lots of traditional food that is only eaten on that day. The room was a fairly standard business hotel layout, but less crowded than most.

We were driving, and Google guided us to the wrong side of the street. This main road in Matsuyama has trams running down the middle of it, so you can't just do a U-turn. I ended up driving all the way around the base of Matsuyama castle trying to get to the hotel entrance. When I eventually succeeded, we couldn't park in the hotel car park anyway, and had to navigate around even more narrow and busy streets to get to a commercial car park, then drag the luggage back to the hotel. Suffice to say that parking is a problem. On the bright side, the hotel provide a voucher for the parking station which makes paying for parking easier.
