My mother stayed here recently and the breakfast was so good that she wanted me to try it too, so she requested this hotel and we stayed together. It was very convenient, about 1 minute from Matsuyama City Station. First, after checking in at the front desk on the 2nd floor, we had a welcome drink in the lobby, which had a natural atmosphere and a soda and juice machine, a coffee machine, and an ice bucket with ice. Then, when we came back from eating dinner, there was a soft serve ice cream service, so we made our own soft serve ice cream (tangerine, vanilla, mix) and ate it. We were given a room on the 12th floor, and the view was great, with Matsuyama Castle visible. The room was clean and had a nice atmosphere, and there were plenty of outlets and a place to charge USB devices, so it was very convenient. I wanted to try the Mirable shower in the large public bath, so I was glad I could try it. There was also an open-air bath and a mist sauna. I wanted to try the Dyson hair dryer, so I was glad I could try it. I thought the facilities were very well-equipped. And the next morning, we had the famous breakfast. There were five kinds of mandarin orange juice, so we tried them all. The Kiyomi was delicious! There were various local dishes such as sea bream rice, fried sardines, potato simmered fish, sweet miso soup with Matsuyama age, boiled whitebait caught at Sadamisaki, and Yawatahama champon, which were all fun and delicious. There was also mandarin orange dressing for the salad. There was also tuna, yellowtail, and sea bream sashimi, which was delicious and I thought it was rare to see sashimi. There was also local pure rice unfiltered sake. There were also various sweets such as small sakura mochi, roasted green tea pudding, fruit jelly, dorayaki that you can make by choosing the filling, and strawberry and mandarin orange sorbet, so it was fun to try various things. It was also nice that the plates and bowls were Tobe ware, a specialty of Matsuyama. My mother and I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the breakfast. I'm glad I had a great time staying here. Thank you very much!

#MarchTravelSupportEvent ##Matsuyama I was really satisfied with my meal at the yakitori restaurant in Matsuyama. A variety of skewer dishes were carefully prepared, and there was a wide variety of skewers, from chicken to various fried skewers. In particular, the chicken skin and tsukune (chicken meatball) skewers were really delicious, with a rich flavor that came out the more I chewed them. The crispy fried skewers were also light and not greasy, so I could enjoy them without feeling burdened, and the egg porridge I ate at the end had a deep soup flavor, making it the perfect ending to the meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy, and I could feel the unique Japanese atmosphere, so I recommend stopping by if you visit Matsuyama.

If you are having trouble with Matsuyama hotels, I recommend REF Matsuyama City Station by Vessel Hotel. I heard that the breakfast was delicious among Koreans, so I made a reservation including breakfast, and it was just as good as the rumors said. And don't miss the hot springs at the large bath in the morning and evening, and the tram stop is right in front of the hotel, so you can move anywhere conveniently. I think the biggest advantage is that you can eat tangerine juice ice cream for free from 7 to 9, so be sure to eat it. A glass of juice outside costs over 3,000 won 😅 Anyway, eat well and sleep well. It was a trip that was even better because Matsuyama was quiet and fulfilling. #Japanese small city travel #Matsuyama travel destination recommendation #Matsuyama hotel #Matsuyama hotel recommendation #REF Matsuyama by Vessel

ref Vessel Hotel Great location! Great facilities! View from the hotel A delicious ramen restaurant nearby. There are a lot of really delicious foods in the food court in the basement of the department store When you get off the free airport bus, the hotel is right in front of you

I was worried a lot about the Okaido side... but it was the best choice. The tram runs in front of the hotel, and Matsuyama City Station is right below, so it's good for going to the suburbs. The public bath is clean and the facilities are good. The staff is very friendly, and the breakfast is delicious. The Mikan soft serve ice cream is free in the lobby from 7-9 p.m., and it's really delicious. There's a convenience store on the first floor, which is convenient, and there's a department store right next door, so there's a lot of freshly cooked food on the first basement floor, so it's fun to choose and eat... If I visit again next time, I think I'll stay at this hotel without a doubt.

I had to go back to Ehime again, so I stayed at the Ref Matsuyama City Station. I requested a room with a good view, and they prepared a room on the 13th floor with a view of Matsuyama Castle. The room was modern and very clean, and the slightly hard bed was very comfortable. The breakfast menu was a little different from the last time I stayed there, with local dishes and desserts. This time, there was a set to make nabeyaki udon, and you put udon, your favorite ingredients, and soup stock in an aluminum pot, put a tabletop stove on your seat, and you could eat piping hot nabeyaki udon, which was fun and delicious. I enjoyed my breakfast slowly while watching the street where the trams were running. After the meal, I borrowed a bicycle from the hotel and walked around the nearby area. It seems that you can borrow it for free for up to three hours. After returning, I took a bath in the large public bath and relaxed in the hot water. Once again, I had a relaxing and comfortable stay at the hotel. Thank you very much!

The hotel location, bathhouse, and shuttle bus are all great. There is also a convenience store and breakfast is the best!!!! If you go to Matsuyama, this is the place to stay.

The view from the accommodation is the best. You won't regret choosing it, and the way to Okaido can be done without rain. You can think of it as going from McDonald's to McDonald's Okaido branch. Have a nice trip.
