Convenient location, just couple minutes walk from Matsumoto station exit. Plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby, in neighborhood and station. 15-20 minutes walk to Matsumoto Castle. Staff was welcoming and friendly, capable enough in English without reticence. Room was typical Japanese business hotel -- even a bit smaller (at least with our double bed); not much floor space or space for bags/luggage. Although well-appointed, bathroom also on small side -- watch your elbows in the shower! No counter or much space for your bath toiletries.

“Convenient to get food and it is in the central”

We drove and need the staff to guide us to the car park which is a distance away. The young man was very helpful and can speak English. We found our room was stuffy as aircon only provides heater.

We drove and need the staff to guide us to the car park which is a distance away. The young man was very helpful and can speak English. We found our room was stuffy as aircon only provides heater. The same young man that speak English came to our room and help us to open the window and taught us how to open and close the window so that we control the cool air circulation. Thumbs up for the service. As for the sound of the train sound, the track is just behind our room. The sound was still bearable.For the first night we walk to eat Ippudo (ramen), which was very good and nearby. The hotel public bath with hot water was also very good, which is at 7 floor. Would recommend.

“Roomy but lacks sunlight and climate control”

We selected this because it was near the station, moderately priced, and most importantly it had a room for the night we needed it. Walking into the room was a pleasant surprise. It had more space than places that cost a good deal more. The negatives were the window covers - blinds that we could not pull up but only adjust the angle to get more or less light. That was a shame because there was a nice sunset visible (striped). Windows did not open. The climate control was not effective (or we did not use it correctly) so that we got too much warm air for good sleeping. I would stay again but probably would look elsewhere first. It is very handy to the train station, and they were good about keeping our luggage both before we checked in and after we checked out. This might qualify as a budget hotel, though I have rated it mid range. It cost half as much as most others we visited during two weeks.
