Great staff and room. Clean and quiet, perfect for a few nights. Breakfast buffet was delicious and totally worth the ¥700. Beware, it is not super modern and the beds are a bit stiff, but I was still captured by the charm and the great location :)

ロケーションがとても良い

歩いてすぐの所に飲食店、居酒屋がたくさんあり大変便利な立地です。サービスは必要最低限ですが、コストを考えると不満はありません。エコの観点から掃除は頼まないと来てもらえず、2回頼んだが両方とも使用済みタオルが床や風呂に落ちていたりして不十分だった。しかしフロントにコーヒーサービスがあったりと、建物は古いが頑張っていて、何かと好感を持てるホテルでした。また利用すると思います。

四柱神社と松本城メインの旅行だったので両方とも歩いてすぐのところにあり、駅までも歩いて行ける距離だったのでとてもは便利でした。 今回初めてあり得ないくらい安い料金で泊まれたのに朝食も付いており、また、他所の低料金のホテルより部屋も広くて快適に過ごせました。松本がすっかり気に入ってしまったのでまたぜひこちらのホテルも利用させて頂きます。

宿泊日の前日、残室1だった禁煙のシングルルームを予約していきました。 最近、某ホテル予約サイトでの「予約が入っていなかった」というトラブルを目にしていたせいか、もしかして私の予約も入っていないかも…という不安を感じつつチェックインしました。が、そんな心配は杞憂でした。 アサインされたのは、なんとツインの部屋！ バスとトイレも別々で、広々しており、とても快適に過ごせました。 部屋は、最上階の5階でしたが、無料Wi-Fiは夕方と夜はサクサク繋がりました（早朝は接続が少々、重くて途切れることも）。 ホテルのスタッフさんの対応もとても良くて、松本城やナワテ通りなどへもすぐ。松本駅からは徒歩15分ほどですが、道もわかりやすいし、街並みを見ながら歩いていったら、すぐでした。また松本に行くことがあったら利用したいホテルです。
