Matsuyama hotellit lähellä Ninomaru Historical Garden

Plussat: Funaya is in close proximity of Dogo Onsen. It has a nice garden accessible from the hotel and through the exit gate one can go to Dogo Park. The twin room with tatami area was very spacious and a simply furnished balcony.

Miinukset: It was a little expensive.

Plussat: Delicate and excellent dinners, and very attentive staff members

Miinukset: In order to reach the pavilion where we stayed, which had beds and the great baths, could not be accessed without using a flight of stairs. Hot spring bathing facility was nice but unimpressive.

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Proximity of noisy road

Plussat: Rooms are comfortable.

Miinukset: Dinner is not outstanding and service is average. Overall too expensive for what it is.

Plussat: The location and the large room.

Miinukset: Probably I just had a high expectation for this type of accommodation. Expected the bath would be a lot better but was just okay. Outside bath was very small. And the room equipments were kind of old. The breakfast is served at the restaurant, not in the room. Hmm I think if this was an average hotel, I’d be fine, but since I heard it is one of the best traditional hotels in the area, I was a bit disappointed.

Plussat: The room is very comfortable and cannot hear the noise of heater if operated.

Plussat: Just everything

Plussat: A ryokan in hotel scale. Friendly staff, v spacious room (my toddler could run around), nice view from room, good food, good onsen facilities, lovely foot bath outside breakfast area. Right next to Dogo public onsen and shopping street. Half an hour walk to Matsuyama castle.

Plussat: Rooms

Miinukset: Staff do not speak English

Plussat: Prime location There is a Noh performance at a theater at the restaurant itself which is free and scheduled to be started at 5:30pm (every evening?not sure) which I had missed as I didn’t have this information beforehand.

Miinukset: The quality of the in-hotel onsen water is very ordinary. It seemed not mineralised at all.

Plussat: food is really good, beef top grade, fish top grade stuff really helpful, they have 1-2 stuff who can speak Chinese to help us. NOH show is good and short HOT SPRING is relaxing and good really close to DOGO hot spring and shopping area

Miinukset: the glass museum is not so good

Plussat: Very close to the Dogo shopping street.

Plussat: It has everything you need at the base of operations for Matsuyama but especially for Dogo Onsen

Miinukset: It is a medium large hotel so you won’t feel the intimacy of the small ryokan

Miinukset: It's very tiny room and very noisy from the next room when they use toilet.My room is on the fourth floor very loudly from compressor behind the room.I could not sleep all night.

Plussat: Very clean. Staff were very helpful. Dinner was excellent.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Room is clean, good onsen, very central location. The dinner was superb, must try. Staff are nice and helpful

Plussat: The room for 3 people is spacious and it is just opposite to the Dogo Onsen.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Dinners and breakfasts were fantastic!

Plussat: Stayed in the traditional Japanese room. The tatami and futon were clean and nice. The room was quiet. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The kaiseki in the Japanese restaurant “Hanakoji” was wonderful as well. Overall highly recommend this place.

Plussat: Location is awesome. The staffs are friendly and nice.

Miinukset: The breakfast are all the same for three days.

Plussat: The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The location and local amenities were very good

Miinukset: There was nothing I didn’t like.

Plussat: This was our luxury stay from budget hostels and capsule hotels and it did not dissapoint. The moment you walk in you feel like you're in a luxourius paradise. The entrance is so pretty and staff were very friendly. They provided us with a abundance of information about using the Dogo Onsen next door (litteraly located right across the small street and it is tattoo friendly) The whole building smelt wonderuful with heaps of fresh flowers all over the place. There is a shopping strip nearby and lovely little restuarants. You had the option to collect a larger Yukata from reception. We utulized the option to have our traditional breakfast and that was an interesting experience. While it wasn't too my taste of a breakfast meal (I'm sorry, it's because I've grown up with bread and cereal) it was really great to try this new experience!!

Miinukset: We had some trouble finding a point for us to charge our phones. Some power points or USB ports near the bed would be good. I wasn't sure how to wear the Yukatah and I could have used a "How to wear a Yukata for dummies" (or I could not be lazy and google it)

Plussat: Very good location and very clean~~

Plussat: The location of the hotel was excellent and very convenient as it was right in front of Dogo Onsen. In addition, the shopping street is next door, so there are various restaurants and you can enjoy the famous "Taimeshi".

Miinukset: Nothing special.

Plussat: Just a few meters away from the Dogo onset.

Plussat: Small but comfortable hotel literally in front of Dogo Onsen and 5 metres away from the commercial/tourist area. Room a bit small but had every comfort and even geta and yukata for the onsen. Breakfast was not exciting, but included.

Plussat: Location was exceptionally strategic and parking facilities being included makes it more convenient.

Plussat: Food was excellent

Plussat: Nice Business Hotel in the middle of Downtown. Big room (in comparison to other Hotels we stayed during our 3 weeks in Japan) Excellent breakfast on the top floor with amazing view over the Town. Would certainly stay here again.

Plussat: excellent location.

Miinukset: room was very small. no place to hang clothes.

Plussat: excellent location.

Miinukset: room was very small. smaller than any other hotels I had stayed.

Plussat: The booking itself was extremely cheap compared to other hotels and therefore perfect for a short stay. The location was very convenient as it was in-between Matsuyama Castle and Matsuyama Station. Lovely view outside. Spotless room and hotel. I would stay here again in spite of the issues.

Miinukset: Troublesome parking. Staff pleasant but substandard during check-in/valet service. Master key problematic. Details below. The parking procedure was safe but overlong. Whilst staff did give us an email about the parking procedure/valet service in Japanese, it would have been good to have received an English version. Even so, there was no one to greet us at the parking facility - we had told the hotel we would arrive between 9pm-10pm. (We arrived at 9:45pm.) After some confusion, we decided to leave the car on the manoeuvrable wheel and checked in. Staff apologised and after checking in we went back outside. They enabled the automation process and the car was ushered in through to private parking. Lack of courtesy during check-in. So far in Japan when I have checked in with my girlfriend, the process has been identity verification and room confirmation. This was not the case with APA. After confirming my identity, the lady went on to confirm the room. I confirmed that it was a room with two people (women) sharing a double bed. I confirmed this twice with her. The lady then asked if we booked a separate room. No we didn’t. Then we were asked if we would like two separate beds. No we wouldn’t. All she had to do was read out the room description, if we wanted to make any adjustments we would have. During the valet service, a man at the desk thought we were trying to check out. He addressed my girlfriend who is Asian-American despite the room being booked in my name as I tried to address him in Japanese stating my name and the car. He continued typing anyway and then addressed her as “Sugimoto-san” before finally listening to me and realising what we wanted. The master key/light in the room needs to be turned on for everything to function. This is all well and good during the daytime but problematic during the night. At night we wanted all the lights off but we also wanted to have the AC on and our phones charging overnight.

Plussat: Excellent location and very good facilities. Breakfast - excellent.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Conveniently located in the city center, beautiful view of the castle from our room, walking distance from tram lines.

Miinukset: The room was a bit smaller than we expected.

Plussat: Bed is extra comfy and bath tub is wide

Miinukset: Room is small

Plussat: Location is good, close to 高松城. Rooms are big and bathroom is big too. Most vintage APA I’ve ever seen.

Plussat: room with double bed was really big (when compared to the small ones in japan). also a spacious toilet.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: A PERFECT LOCATION, quiet rooms, very spacious for Japanese hotels.

Miinukset: The hotel is very old so all fittings and furniture is old, too. No big deal.

Plussat: Everyting

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Basically a couple of steps from Dogo Onsen, just a short walk from the Dogo Onsen Station. There are direct connections to Matsuyama Station and Matsuyama City Station as well, so goes to Matsuyama Castle (then it's about 4-5 minutes on foot to reach the cable car station). Showers were clean, rooms cozy, the staff super friendly and helpful!

Miinukset: The lounge was a bit small for bigger gatherings, otherwise everything was pretty good.

Plussat: Not much

Miinukset: Poor sitting area and kitchen Insufficient showers for the number of people In the dorm.

Plussat: The location is great, almost right next to Dogo Onsen with plenty of shops and restaurants to walk around and shop. The staff was also friendly.

Miinukset: The hostel building itself is pretty dated. As such there is no AC in the hallways, which makes for a warm walk to the showers and up to your room. The bunk beds were also a bit uncomfortable as there was just a thin mattress on a wood frame

Plussat: The location was very good. It was very easy to find! The rooms were very clean and spacious. The locker was huge to store your belongings in and each locker had a charging plug!

Plussat: Plenty of showers, the beds were comfortable, and they gave one complimentary pack of detergent for the washing machines. I also like that they had dryers. They also had big lockers for you to put your luggage in.

Miinukset: There was only one outlet and it was located in your locker. A bit inconvenient to charge if you have many things like a phone, a battery pack and a camera. Hard to use your phone and charge at the same time. The rooms are made of traditional wood though so might be hard to put outlets in in other places. I brought my backpack so it was fine but there's no elevator. So if your handicapped or have big luggage it might be difficult.

Plussat: The location is convenient

Miinukset: The rooms were old and dirty. I found a toothpick and chopsticks on the floor.

Plussat: Bed was comfy, location was pretty accessible. You can store your luggage before check-in and even after check-out. There’s a restaurant within the facilities that serves breakfast and lunch, and a rooftop beer garden is also available.

Miinukset: The pillows could be more comfortable. It’s pretty close to the station so you could hear the trains coming and going, but I didn’t find it troublesome.

Plussat: Near the station Friendly personal Clean room

Miinukset: Room to small and old stuff

Miinukset: Aircon is very noisy Old hotel

Plussat: very close to JR Matsuyama station and you can hop on to the city circling train to Dogo hot spring, Matsuyama Castle, museums etc.

Miinukset: No air or heating ｃｏｎｔｒｏｌ．

Plussat: the location. very close to JR station and airport buses.

Miinukset: the rooms are tiny and outdated/rundown. we unfort. had smoking rooms. maybe non smoking are better looking.
