Lovely hotel with fantastic rooms and amenities. Located in the heart of the city. The only down side was there are only two elevators and can become really crowded and slow.

We chose this hotel because of its proximity to Matsuyama’s City Station, a transportation hub served by streetcars and a train to the ferry terminal (from which we took a ferry to Hiroshima). It is literally on top of the train station. In addition to the usual tiny room, it offers a good breakfast buffet and an in-house hot bath. Lots of restaurants in the area, and the Matsuyama castle is within walking distance.

Good base for day trips
We used this as a base for several day trips in the surrounding region as well as within the city. It was right next to the Matsuyama City Station with a tram stop outside - and about 10 minutes by tram to the JR station. We’d stay here again

Convenient location at the center of Matsuyama, close to lots of shopping and dining options. Public bath was great for relaxing bath after long days. Breakfast menu was awesome with lots of local specialties, including 5 kinds of citrus juice. Highly recommend.

The room is not so big but updated very nicely, and clean. Everything is nice and clean. I like it very much. They have a great breakfast, great selection and reasonable price. The location is also very close of train station, bus stop and trolly stop. There is a big department store nearby, also lots of restaurants. Definitely I recommend this hotel!

일본호텔같지 않게 아주 넓고 깔끔했어요~ 침구가 좀 딱딱했지만 가성비 호텔이다보니 만족했습니다,, 조식도 종류가 많았어요~ 시내구경하기에 좀 외곽에 있지만 걸어다니기 괜찮은 위치에 시내가 있어서 문제될건 없는것 같아요~ 베셀에 묵고 다음숙소는 방도 좁고 흡연룸으로 하는바람에 고생한기억이 있네요~ 베셀 추천입니다

新しいホテル。部屋に入って室内に洗面台があるのは、コロナ禍で手洗いを重視していたためか？実際便利だった。よって、トイレが広いのが大変良い。大浴場も温泉ではないが広くて気持ち良い。

松山市駅隣接の素晴らしいシティホテル
フロントは2階にあり、エレベーターで上がる必要がある。セルフチェックイン方式だが、難しくはない。チェックインが終わると、あらためてスタッフからの説明があった。特に案内もないホテルが多い中、その点は丁寧な対応で良いと思った。ウェルカムドリンクとソフトクリームのサービスがある。ソフトクリームをいただいたが、愛媛らしくミカンとバニラ、ミックスが用意されていた。非常に美味しく素晴らしいサービスだった。 客室は清潔感があり、冷蔵庫、ポット、上下の部屋着、客室および館内用スリッパといった快適に過ごすための準備がある。3階に大浴場があるが、そこには部屋着とスリッパで行けるのは便利である。大浴場は広々とした内風呂だけでなくサウナもあるほか、同じ階には自動販売機コーナー、ウォーターサーバー、喫煙所、コインランドリーがあり、充実した施設だと思った。 また、このホテルは朝食の内容が素晴らしい。愛媛の郷土料理を一挙に集めていて手軽に味わうことができる。鯛めしは炊き込み鯛めしと宇和島鯛めしの両方があり、得した気分だ。飲み物やデザートも充実している。特に5種類のミカンジュースの飲み比べは説明書きも丁寧で、思わず全部味わってみたくなる。サラダ類がやや少なく感じたが、料理の種類は多いので全体的には十分だろうと思う。また、すごいと思ったのは、お皿や器の多くが砥部焼だったことである。料理だけでなく食器まで地元のものにこだわっている姿勢には感動した。朝食は6時からで、この時間から朝食をオープンしているホテルはなかなかないが、おかげで混雑する前にゆっくりと食事を味わうことが出来た。 エレベーターが2基しかなく、混雑時はなかなか来なくて移動が面倒に思うこともあったが、2階から1階に下りる場合は階段でのルートも用意されていてホテル側の工夫も感じた。チェックアウト時は時間がなかったので、私はたいへん助かった。 国内のホテルでは久々に大満足の滞在ができ、このホテルに泊まってよかった。

좋은 숙소, 한명의 불친절했던 직원,,
숙소 자체는 정말 좋았어요 방도 깨끗하고 대욕장 있는거랑 잠옷도 주고 조식도 맛있었어요. 뷰도 고층뷰 희망 얘기했는데 딱 원하는 뷰로 주셔서 좋았습니다. 다만 한명의 직원 태도가 너무 기분 나빴어요 자전거 3시간 무료 대여 서비스가 있어서 자전거를 너무 잘 타고 다녔는데, 반납시 직원이 시간 착각하고 추가요금 받으려고하셨어요. 10시 55분에 빌려서 13시 10분쯤 갔는데, 반납기한을 12시 55분이라고 적어두시고 3시간이 지났다고 하시더라고요! 직원에게 당신이 잘못적은거다 3시간 지나지 않았다고 설명하는데 저희에게 오히려 시간 지냈는데 왜 돈 안내냐며 화를 계속 내시더라고요. 나중에 착각한거 알면서도 쏘리라고 하긴 했지만 정말 형식적인?.. 전혀 미안한 태도를 보이지 않으셨어요 진짜 숙소는 너무 좋았는데 그 때 기분이 너무 상했습니다
