It's in a great location, near Matsumoto Castle and Yohashira Shrine, near Aeon Mall Matsumoto, one of the largest in Nagano Prefecture, and near Asama Onsen. I also stayed here.The building may be old, but the rooms are well-maintained and clean.There is a morning service (¥700) in the morning.Welcome drinks include coffee and tea bags.There is a system where you can bring your lotion, facial cleansing foam, toothbrush, etc. on the first floor.If necessary, the refrigerator can be plugged into an outlet.You can also rent bicycles for free, which I think is convenient for walking around the area.The parking lot is about 2.3 minutes walk away (¥800)The cost performance, including the location, is too good for use on weekdays.

Good place for discovering Matsumoto. The Castle is really 5 minutes walking, same for the shopping street and the riverside. Clean, quiet, but comfy.A little bit outdated, but everything is in good working condition.

Although the building is old, it is well kept and I have no complaints.Breakfast has also been improved without raising the price.I'm really happy with the free parking plan even though it's right near Matsumoto Castle.The best part is that there are twin rooms available at a low price.It was a very nice hotel.

I used it for business.It's an old hotel, but if you're just staying there, you'll be satisfied.I'm also happy that coffee is available 24 hours a day on the first floor.The only complaints I had were that the outlet at my desk was broken, my laptop wasn't charging, and the desk light was out, so it was dark when I worked.

First of all, I'm satisfied. I was able to stay there very cheaply. I think it's best if you choose a location near Matsumoto Castle. There was one parking spot available and I paid the fee at check-in. The price is rising. It's 800 yen. However, when I requested to go sightseeing after checking out, they allowed me to wait until 11am, so I was able to take my time to tour the castle.
