Daiwa Roynet Hotel Matsuyama is worth booking if you want a clean, central base a short walk from Matsuyama Castle and the shopping arcade. Do not expect five-star extras: this is a four-star (estimated) city hotel, and our Best Value pick scored the same for about €54 less a night.

This is our Luxury pick for Matsuyama, though the city sample had no five-star option, so it is a well-rated four-star rather than a resort. It suits couples and solo travellers who want a tidy room, a central address and easy access to the castle and the tram. Guests rate it 8.7 out of 10 across 2,399 reviews.
Skip it if you want a spa, pool or gym: none are listed. Those who care about breakfast variety should also note guest comments about a small venue and limited choice at times.
Location and getting around
The address is Ichibancho 2-6-5. Guests describe a central setting near the castle, the shopping arcade, a tram station and the airport shuttle. The location score is 9.0.
Matsuyama Castle is about 0.7 km, roughly 9 minutes on foot. Taisan-ji is 7.1 km, about 89 minutes, and the Miyoshi Mononoke Museum 7.4 km, about 93 minutes. These are straight-line estimates. Both of those are far, so take public transport or a taxi.
What guests say
Location is the most praised point, with the castle, arcade, tram and airport shuttle all close by. Cleanliness is the other: guests describe tidy, well-kept rooms with no unpleasant smells.
Breakfast gets mixed comments. Guests like the Japanese and Western dishes, but the venue is small and the selection is sometimes limited. Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed.
Price and how it compares with our other Matsuyama picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults, one room) was €155.46 a night, about €311 for two nights. This is a reference price, not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
That was well above the sample median of €94.83. Our Best Value pick, Hotel Vista Matsuyama, was €101.75 with the same 8.7 score, and our Budget pick, Check In Matsuyama, was €42.12 with 8.2. So the extra money here buys the fourth star and the central spot near the castle, not a higher guest score. That is worth weighing honestly.
Facilities listed by the property are a restaurant, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Breakfast is a buffet, but inclusion in your rate is not confirmed.

Before you book
Compare it with Hotel Vista Matsuyama, which matched its score for less on the reference dates. Check whether breakfast is in your rate, and consider eating early if the small venue concerns you. Ask about the airport shuttle schedule, as guests mention it but times are not confirmed. Parking is not listed, so drivers should ask in advance. Read the cancellation terms.
