Hot spring Hotels in Matsuyama

Like the location, in the middle of shopping centre. Difficult to find first but once you have located it, its super convenient. Enjoy the hot springs and the little treats they provide (free coffee, icecreams etc). Will come back if I come to Matsuyama.

First Shikoku, first Dogo Onsen. The word of mouth has become very late. We stayed at 2023.1.17 １. Stayed in haiku suite. Since it was an early morning flight, I arrived quite early than check-in, so I stopped by the hotel to leave my luggage. A veteran man guided me to the front desk immediately. However, while disappointed by the expressionless and cold response of the young woman at the front desk, it was because of this that I arrived too early, so I asked her to leave her luggage and go sightseeing. And check in. It is not possible that the door of the cleaning tool box right next to the entrance of the room called haiku suite remained empty. (This place remains open all the time during my stay.) The room was clean and of course large, but I think the back of the amenities and the dusty details were not well cleaned. Dinner is at the restaurant. I stayed in a large room, so is it like this when considering the accommodation fee? It was delicious with elegant seasoning, but I have the impression that there were many similar seasonings. I chose Western food for breakfast. It was good to have an extraordinary feeling with the silver lid and an omelet on the white tablecloth. It was a private room-style seat, but there were two tables, the distance from the neighbor was close, and it was too quiet to hear the conversation, so I was uncomfortable. This might have been quite relaxing with room service. The man of the staff who guided me to the room on arrival checked out and told me what I casually asked. I was impatient, so I forgot completely, so I thought I could tell you by extension, etc., but it was probably the hospitality of the person who was not in the manual. I'm sorry that there is no hot water in the bath. Somehow, I wondered if it would be a good inn if I became a regular, but I won't visit again.

We stayed for 2 nights in Standard Twin. It was a parking view, but it was very clean, including the bathroom, although it was not large, and the USB port on the bedside was convenient for charging the smartphone. Also, the amenities dripping coffee and empty refrigerator were good. The room had slippers and snow dags, and I liked the beach sandals, and I was comfortable with snow dags that were not resistant to walking outside. The public bath on the top floor was healed with a clean open-air bath with a good view. I went to 6:00 for two days from 6:00 in the morning, but I think it was good to open a little earlier because it was quite crowded. Breakfast was the same for two days, but there were so many original options that I never got tired. Uwajima slices, tofu and French toast were especially delicious and I ate too much every morning. Access from the city is good and if you have the opportunity to stay at Dogo Onsen, I would like to choose it next time.

Dogo Onsen is the first time this time, but I chose this inn based on the location advantage and reputation, as a result, it became a very good stay. The good points are described below. It is just next to the soyu and shopping street. Even if it rains, you can go without getting wet. We were able to prepare a corner room on the top floor of the cherry blossoms. It was spacious and clean and comfortable. (There was also an air cleaner.) It was also a good memory to overlook the Dogo Onsen soyu from the top (although it was under construction). The meal was delicious in both evening breakfast. Especially the dinner burning ”shochu no sake tailoring” was exquisite. The daughter of the accompanying person who doesn't like sake cherry blossoms was also a compliment to the good condition. I want to go next time for this. Of course the amount was sufficient. The dinner hall was very nice in the place where the Noh stage was seen with a bonfire. The cherry blossom bath feels good because it draws the same hot water as the total hot water. It was comfortable with a large rock bath. The sake bar and the sweets bar on the bath were good. I felt that the employees were always careful. Next, if you go after the road, it is an inn that you want to use.

The hotel and rooms were very comfortable and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful so feel a little guilty giving it only four stars but I did because we have stayed in other hotels which were a little more personable whereas this was a little commercial so not perfect for the holiday traveller. Next door there is an excellent French /Japanese restaurant I would strongly recommend. Please do not be put of by my review. The hotel is well located and you will have a very comfortable stay.

The size of the room is really big. It’s really big in the hotel room in Japan. The hot springs on the 1st floor are very spacious and very comfortable, all with massage water flow. I especially like the colder springs of 35 degrees, which can be soaked for a long time. And although the overall facilities are not very new, they look very clean, not bad. Downstairs is Rosen, and it is always open, very convenient, and the experience is very good.

I applied for a plan with half board for two days and one night. The exterior looks old, but the interior has a modern and bright impression, including a restaurant. Many of the front desks were veterans and kind, and many of them were young like students because the restaurant was busy, but I had a good feeling including the first 々 feeling. The main dinner seemed to have been wrong with the advance request information, but it was helpful to respond immediately. I thought it would be nice to have a change in the contents of the buffet at dinner and the buffet at breakfast (shell pasta and pumpkin gratin that I only saw at the night buffet, etc. persistently It was a sloppy taste that wasn't too much.) Close to the shopping street and Dogo Onsen main building, I made a reservation for accommodation by seeing the word of mouth, but the parking fee was 800 yen / day, but it was a hotel that I could have a pleasant stay and wanted to repeat.

Before you go: it is good to speak some Japanese. I tried to book it directly with the ryokan so I could choose a menu plan but the English version of the website was not showing available dates and the Japanese version was not allowing to enter a non-Japanese phone number. I emailed them (in Japanese) and was able to get a reservation with the meal plan of my choice (breakfast and dinner and some special side dishes). We stayed at what I think is called superior Japanese room. It was very spacious. Besides the onsen on the first floor, the room itself has a large ofuro. Meals were served in our room. I liked this for breakfast but missed seeing people around dinner time. The onsen dowstairs has two large baths, one is closed and the other is open with rocks and vegetation around. A glass window separates them. After the onsen, there is self-service beer and/or ice-cream. The food was amazing! But I think I went overboard in ordering the special sea bream sashimi. We stayed two days there, relaxing at the onsen after climbing the Matsuyama castle ramp/steps or after cycling the Shimanamikaido in Imabari (about 40 minutes from Matsuyama) felt like heaven. The staff was extremely warmth and professional. In this place you will see the true Japanese hospitality ”omotenashi”.

There are two types of baths, a large public bath and an open-air bath, both of which are comfortable. The orange juice from the tap after the shower is delicious. Four consecutive holidays are over, so there are not many people, I can spend a relaxing time. The food is delicious, there is a massage machine in the room, so it will be nice if you are tired

It's a large inn and the prices are reasonable, so I think it's whether you can enjoy the standard specifications rather than customization. For example, the person who served us dinner was probably a young man working part-time as a student, but it was refreshing, and we could see that he had put some effort into making a large amount of food at once. I was told that room cleaning would start around 9:30 when I checked in, but it started earlier than that. It was amazing to see so many staff cleaning at once. As mentioned above, as mentioned in some reviews, perfect hospitality is not provided, but I got the impression that individual staff members were making various efforts based on the manual, just like at a large theme park. . Overall, this is a ryokan that you can fully enjoy.
