Find Hotels in Ehime Prefecture, Japan

The location is good as there is a speed bus stop outside the hotel. It is good for people who wanna hop from one prefecture to another. Located near Mitsuyama castle, it is in the city center that the tourist spots can be accessed easily. What surprised me most were the massage facilities in the room. They were just perfect for fatigue relief after having a hot bath in the bath tub in the room.

Candeo Hotel Matsuyama is sited along the main shopping street where other hotels are sited. I've never tried them so I can't compare but I can tell you that Candeo Matsuyama is an excellent choice. The entrance is a bit hard to find. You share the same lift with the other mall guests because the hotel is only from the 5th to the 13th floor. The main lobby is on the topmost floor and so is the dining room and the community baths. they have their concept done right letting everyone of their users get the best views at the dining room (they have an excellent breakfast) and the common baths! The rooms are very clean and very comfortable and the service is impeccable. I got help with an air cleaner without hesitation. they market themselves as an eco hotel and it is indeed true. They let you choose your amenities instead of just giving it to you without question. Downstairs is a bookshop and then into a really lovely mall with a large grocery shop, a very good bakery and a foreign goods shop. Not to mention a large Onitsuke Tiger shop. There's food everywhere and Matsuyama castle's cable car entrance is just 10minutes walk away along a very cool street. I would stay there again if I visit the city for sure.

My wife and I stayed in a Queen Bed room for two nights on a Shikoku self-drive tour. This hotel is new and very nice. I am a fan of the Dormy Inn's as they are usually new, modern, located centrally, have free onsen and coffee, and ramen in late evenings. Our room was the usual smallish, but everything was new and clean. The bed, aircon, wifi were very good. Staff was very helpful. Onsen was a bonus - outdoor and indoor pools. Breakfast was standard and ok. It is located inside the pedestrian-only shopping street, and super convenient. Walking to the Castle ropeway took less than 10 minutes, and the tram stop to Dogo 3 minutes. But since the hotel is located in the pedestrian-only shopping street, you cannot reach the front door by car. We later found out that there is a door at the back where you can park for couple of minutes to drop off your luggage. Also, the hotel is so new that it is not registered on GPS, and the hotel associated carpark (not onsite) is not easy to find.

It's the first time I attempt to book a love hotel room for sightseeing in province. We stay two nights and I was afraid to be charged extra fees like love hotel usually do when you exceed their standard time. We didn't encounter any issues and all we pay was what agoda charged us. The amenities have nothing to compare with a business hotel. Spacious room, King size bed, video projectors, video on demand ( free too) , jacuzzi, etc... And such at a night fare cheaper than any business hotel. Parking is just there and also free, location was not center of the city but close enough from everything if you travel by car. Highly recommended.

I have stayed in many business type hotels throughout Japan. This was my favourite to date. The room was very clean, and modern. It was a good size for Japan. The staff were vert friendly and made check in and out very easy and pleasant. Finally, the location is great. You are a few minutes walk away from the Okaido shopping street which is quite popping at the weekend. In terms of accessing other major sites the walking time to Matsuyama Castle (15 mins), Dogo Onsen (25 mins) and Ishite-ji Shrine (35 mins). I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

Very consistent, APA chain of hotels usually don't give any surprises. The room was very clean with a bunch of amenities, Yukata, slippers, toiletries etc....but also tiny, which is the norm, in Japan. If you book in advance, you can get good deals. Unfortunately my airbnb host was a female crook, so I had to leave the apartment and book with APA at the last minute. It was expensive, but they saved my life as it is very hard to find last minute accommodations, in Matsuyama. The only tiny down side is the location. It is accross from a beautiful park, but you will need to walk 15/20mn to/from Matsuyama JR station. But besides that, the staff was wonderful, very helpful and everything else was just perfect.

We were there but one night. The staff did not have strong international language skills but they were excellent, courteous and responsive. I heard guests speaking English, French and Hindi. I gave the staff the rather difficult task of providing ferry departure times from another city and they easily were able to do so. The morning paper, in my native language was delivered; a very good touch. The wifi was responsive. The Hotel French Restaurant's food was of very high quality and a pleasant surprise. Off-site parking available for a reduced charge. Several retail shops, also of high quality, adjoin this property. The room was a little warm and I could not control the temperature.

The inn is a little hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for - it's very close to the Dogo Onsen but up a back street and signed only in Japanese. Once we knew what we were looking for it was easy to spot, though. The inn is very small and calm compared to a lot of the large hotels in the area. A traditional Japanese inn, our room (we stayed as a couple) included roll-out futon beds, a gorgeous wooden stand/shelf unit, a connecting room with an ornate wooden low table and seats, a side area with wood flooring rather than tatami mats where we could leave our bags & four electrical outlets, a third small room off the end with a bench and screen windows, and a vestibule leading to the garden outside. A free breakfast was provided, once again Japanese style, which included rice, two varieties of seaweed, miso soup with tofu, and green tea. We had an amazing time at the inn, the staff who checked us in and out were friendly and extremely helpful and both spoke enough English so that we didn't have to muddle through in basic Japanese. The only issue we found with the hotel is that since the walls are thinner than modern/western buildings, we could hear the other guests carrousing in the common areas until late at night despite the hotel policy for guests to speak quietly after midnight. Between the two of us one is a light sleeper and the other is not - the noise did keep me awake. We weren't able to use the hotel's baths since we only stayed one night and spent most of our time exploring the city, but a hotel employee told us that they're the only hotel in the area that, like Dogo Onsen, does not add extra chemicals to their water, which comes from the same local hot spring that the famous Dogo Onsen draws from. We did visit Dogo Onsen twice, which was a fantastic experience and I recommend it to anyone visiting Matsuyama - as long as you read up on onsen etiquette beforehand, you'll be fine. They provide English pamphlets explaining things as well.

It is just 1 minute walk from the JR station. If your plan is to take lots of trains, this hotel is the only best option. It is though far from the city center, you have to take 30 mins tram to the onsen and 15 mins to the castle. If your plan is to explore inside the city, it is better to stay in town. If your plan is to explore other nearby city by JR, this hotel is the best. Room is clean, staff is helpful, value for money anyway.

Can’t beat this location right across from Dogo Onsen Honkan (Main Building), so easy to hop in to have a bath experience, Dogo Beer next door, hotel amenity is efficient and convenient to sleep in bed, (If you like to experience traditional ryokan style, you may book those around in this area). Japanese breakfast (included in my reservation) was served at restaurant next door was okay, not exceptional. Overall great value.

Yukai Resort Dogo was a pleasant surprise and had everything we can ask for - good location, great indoor and outdoor onsens, and great dinner and breakfast with a large variety including sashimi, which is not common in a hotel. It was also a fun dining experience especially for families with kids since it has a cotton candy machine, a mochi-making session, and pots for grilling at every table. Although the hotel is up on the hill, the walk to Dogo Onsen was easy and relaxing and the hotel has a bus shuttle that runs frequently throughout the day. We highly recommend this place and will definitely book it again in the future.

5 mins walking from JR station, Not much shops nearby , have a Macdonald and convenience shop (which fresh fruits available, so cool) within 10 minutes walk.. can walk around 20-30mins to downtown with many shops(bus and light rail also available) .. However, facilities and room a bit old , but acceptable, can find everything I needed in the room, just cannot reach any wifi in room... Recommend if likely to travel mainly by JR.

At first i was a little bit disappointed because the dinner didn’t served in the room coz we arrived hotel around 6:30pm. Anyway after we had arranged to have dinner in their restaurant and the staff there Machiko san was very kind and friendly. She recommended and explain every dishes of the meal with her excellent English. We appreciated her great service. For the room was very spacious and the onsen also great!

We had trouble booking a double room here for 3 nights in a row - somehow the place was nearly booked out! But when we arrived, the staff were really helpful, swapping our booking for two single rooms to stay in the same double room multiple nights here as there had been a cancellation. They also stored our luggage for a few hours after check-out. Great location not far from the train station and near a few interesting spots. It's probably catered to business travelers but the bed was a decent size and the place was clean. TV a bit out-dated but that didn't matter much. It's a standard hotel but there is nothing wrong with it. There is also a combini just next to the lobby which is super handy. Gave facilities an average score just compared with some other hotels which had free bottled water and bathroom items like hair brushes in the room and refreshed every day. NB you can pick up bathroom things from the lobby.

This hotel was in every way a positive surprise. Most hotel rooms in Japan are very small to international standards, but the rooms in this hotel are spacious. The bathroom was bigger than usual too, with a nice tub. The view of Matsuyama castle added to the pleasure of staying in this excellent hotel. The city tram stops just outside the hotel and takes you to the Dogo Onsen and other places of interest in a few minutes.

Not many tourists will go to Niihama. I used this hotel because it was between the two days' activities more so than convenience to any local tourist sites. If you're walking, it's a good 15 minutes from the station, and Niihama is pretty far from Matsuyama, Marugame, or any other major tourist cities. That said, I was pleased with the room, as it was clean, fresh, and larger than many business hotel rooms I've stayed in in Japan. Plus, they had a nice breakfast buffet in the morning, with sausages, boiled eggs, rice, and some other things. The mattress is firmer than most, but I found it comfortable.
