Richmond Hotel Matsumoto

Richmond Hotel Matsumoto

8/10 Good
"Richmond Matsumoto is good value for money. It is just 5 mins walk to the train and bus stations, modern and clean, and walking distance to Nawate and the castle. My only gripe is the breakfast, which is delicious but unchanging. I visit Matsumoto yearly, and hope they switch up the offerings to make it more interesting for guests who stay a few nights."

"Convenient location just 8mns from the train station. We also found good restaurants just minutes away and the Matsumoto castle is close by as well as the YAYOI KUSAMA Museum. Rooms are on the small side and plastic shower cabin adjacent to the toilet are not typically associated with hotels in this price range. Breakfast had a good array of Japanese food choices and some western options too. Staff is very friednly an helpful. Onsen is quite nice with a hot bath inside and another outside. There is a cold pool and a sauna."

"Booked very last minute and paid more than i planned but it was actually worth it. Its a traditional Japanese style hotel. Slippers / socks only once arrive. Free ramen at night and soft drinks. Rooms are exceptionally well equipped with no noise disturbance. Staff very helpful and welcoming and only 5mins walk from station and a wide variety of restaurants. Didnt use the pool or breakfast but both seemed very popular. And you get traditional pj’s to wear whilst in public areas and your room"
