Matsue Excel Hotel Tokyu
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.
It is worth booking if you want a reliable four-star near shops and restaurants with a strong local breakfast. Note that in our reference prices it cost more than our Luxury pick, so compare both for your dates before you commit.

This is our Best Value choice in Matsue. It suits travellers who want a straightforward city hotel with a restaurant and a well-reviewed breakfast, close to convenience stores and a shopping mall.
Skip it if you want a hot spring stay: both of our other Matsue picks offer one and this hotel does not list a spa. Budget travellers who drive should also note that guests complain about daily parking fees.
Location and getting around
The address is Asahi 590. The location score is 8.3.
By our straight-line estimates, Shimane Art Museum is about 1.2 km away, roughly 15 minutes on foot, and Matsue Castle is about 1.6 km, around 20 minutes. Sada Shrine is about 7.1 km away, close to 89 minutes on foot, which is far, so you will need public transport or a taxi. None of these times has been verified.
Guests say restaurants, convenience stores and the nearby Aeon Mall are within walking distance.
What guests say
The score is 8.2 out of 10 from 727 reviews, joint 2nd of the 3 eligible hotels we compared.
Breakfast is the highlight. Guests describe a buffet with local Shimane dishes, fresh smoothies and a live omelette station.
The complaint is cost. Guests find the stay comfortable, but say daily parking fees and breakfast prices push the total up. Factor both in if they are not part of your rate.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults came to about €341.69 per night, above the sample median of €282.64. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Green Rich Hotel Matsue Station Across - Artificial hot spring Futamata Yunohana, a three-star hotel, scores 8.0 at about €224.95 per night. Our Luxury pick, Onyado Nono Matsue Natural Hot Spring, a four-star hotel, scores 8.9 at about €282.64 per night.
In this sample, the Luxury pick was cheaper and better rated. That is unusual, and it may not hold for your dates. Compare the three on the same night before you book.
Why it made our top 3
We compared only 3 eligible hotels in Matsue, so the choice was narrow. The Best Value slot balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price; it is not necessarily the cheapest.
Listed facilities are a restaurant, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. That is a short list, so do not expect a spa, gym or pool.
Before you book
Room size, noise levels, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check whether your rate includes breakfast, since guests say it adds to the bill.
If you are driving, ask for the current daily parking fee. Opening times and any fees for the restaurant are not confirmed either.
