"I never saw an image of the exterior of the building in the advertisement on Expedia. I never read that access to the upper floor was via a steep staircase which made carrying two suitcases to one’s room difficult. The place appears to be managed by the Wat Hotel next door but without access to the Wat’s facilities. The walls between the rooms were such that one could plainly hear conversations next door. The room was fine but the experience frankly disappointing."

"This was my favorite accommodation in Japan. It was very cozy and made me feel home. We had the Sennari room. There were 4 beds in two rooms but we only used two. There was a microwave, fridge, kitchen sink with dishes/soap, washer/dryer, kitchen table, sofa. It was two levels with bedrooms upstairs. We never saw our host. It was self check in with a code. It was located in a great area. We were able to walk to and from the train with our luggage. There were several restaurants and shopping very...

""I absolutely loved my stay here! The apartment is brand new, spotless, and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The check-in and check-out process was incredibly smooth. Best of all, the location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the train station and Nohi Bus Center, yet it remains very quiet and peaceful at night. I would definitely stay here again!"

"I spent a few nights here to use as a base while exploring the area. I really appreciated their onsen, a lovely oasis. It was also very convenient to the train station for coming and going on day trips. Staff were great and the hotel was very comfortable."
"Hotel is a 5 to 10 minute walk to Matsumoto Castle and a 15 minute walk to Matsumoto train station. My partner and I stayed here for 5 nights. This is a large western style hotel that receives many tour groups. 1-2 buses were hogging the entrance 4 of the 5 nights. Other than that, it never felt crowded. The women's barh was good, and it appears to ration entry with a card. I never had to wait, bathing 9-10pm. Breakfast was buffet and offerws some western breakfast options. A point off for claiming to have laundry facility but restricting hours to 9am to 8pm- it was usless to us. Staff exceptional, providing us with useful map of the northern alps and quickly dealing with noisy neighbors. We used this hotel as our base for exploring the alps and Takayama. The drivers were longer than ideal but very scenic."
"Great location. Very close to the train and bus station and 10 minutes to historical and shopping.
Staff was very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was good too"
"Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The property was clean and has most amenities needed during travel. The breakfast had a wide selection mostly toward Asian style."
"The hotel is very clean and our breakfast was lovely. They have both Japanese and European options, a very nice onsen on the roof top. Everyone working there is very kind and helpful, they go above and beyond for a guest. Strongly recommend."
"Easy checkin and plenty of close paid parking (1000 yen/day). Staff were helpful and several spoke English. The twin room non smoking was small, like many Japanese hotel rooms. We found the beds were hard. The hotel is easy walking distance to the castle and station and other main tourist attractions. Experienced some road noise on the 6th floor but not excessive. The hotel "hot spring bath" was very small. Overall OK for an overnight stay due to its location."
