Check In Matsuyama
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a cheap, central room near Matsuyama Castle with a large public bath and sauna to use after a day out. Skip it if you need a roomy private bathroom, as guests describe the in-room units as small and dated.

Budget travellers who want to be in the centre will get the most from it. The reference price was €42.12 a night, 56% below the sample median of €94.83, and guests rate it 8.2 out of 10 from 2,238 reviews.
Guests mention a large public hot spring bath and a sauna, which adds something unusual at this price. A restaurant, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning are also listed.
If a spacious, modern bathroom in your room matters, look at our other picks. Reviewers say the private units are small and dated.
Location and getting around
The address is Sanbancho 2-7-3. Guests say it sits in a shopping arcade near the castle, tram stops and restaurants. The location score is 8.2.
Matsuyama Castle is about 0.9 km away, roughly 11 minutes on foot. The Miyoshi Mononoke Museum and Taisan-ji are each about 7.3 km away, around an hour and a half walking. Those two are far, so you will need public transport or a taxi.
Walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
Value for money comes up often. Guests feel the low rates are fair for the central position and what the hotel provides.
The location gets praise too, mainly for the arcade setting and the short walk to the castle and to tram stops.
Bathing gets a mixed verdict. The large public hot spring and sauna are a plus, but the private bathroom units are described as small and dated.
Price and what you get against our other Matsuyama picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was €42.12 per night, about €84 for the two nights. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Hotel Vista Matsuyama, was €101.75 a night with an 8.7 score. Our Luxury pick, Daiwa Roynet Hotel Matsuyama, was €155.46 with 8.7 and four stars.
That makes this hotel less than half the price of the next pick. You give up half a point of guest score and get a smaller bathroom, but keep a central base and a shared bath and sauna.
