The construction is questionable, but there is a washing machine in the room! Perfect for long-term stays! A large bath is also available!It's also great for going out to eat.Reasonable price for Matsuyama.Working in a room is difficult.

Used on a business trip to Ehime.I booked this hotel because of its good location near the main road and the low price of 7,000 yen, which includes breakfast.First, at the entrance? The location on Google Maps has a check-in hotel.When I asked inside, I was told that Hotel Sanbancho was also in the same building.The lobby is clean and check-in and check-out are all done at your convenience, so there is no need to go to the front desk.It's fast and convenient.When you get on the elevator and go to your room, it's like a maze, and when you get home drunk, you're not sure if you'll make it to your room.The room cannot be described as clean. It's quite old.There is a washing machine, so this room is suitable for staying for several nights.It looks like there's room for another bed, so it's spacious, but the layout is different from a normal business hotel, so it feels a little uncomfortable.

5/5
We stayed at Hotel Sanbancho for 2 nights after completing the Shimanami Kaido to rest and visit Matsuyama. It is a large and luxurious hotel with onsen baths, but has rooms at affordable prices. The late check-in (from 16:00) is very convenient for arriving late.We stayed in a room with a comfortable double bed. The hotel provides pajamas, face and body towels, a safe, a kettle with cups, small plates, tea, and coffee, a laundry machine, a mini-fridge, and a TV. The bathroom has a bidet toilet, a shower, a bath mat, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and face/hand wash.There is a men’s bath and a women’s bath. There are small lockers, drinking water, showers with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. There are two hot baths and a cold bath (not very cold).In the hotel lobby there is a counter with free amenities such as coffee, tea, face and body lotion, bath salt, hair bands, sunscreen, razors, etc.There is a shopping gallery with many restaurants and a Don Quixote (open until 2AM) just across the street. It is a 10-minute walk to the moats of Matsuyama castle, and a 6-minute walk to the bus stop for Matsuyama Airport Limousine. It’s a 5-minute walk to the nearest tram station Otemachi.
