Top Matsumoto Hotel Reviews

Richmond Hotel Matsumoto

8/10 Good

"The mechanical parking lots were quite limited and takes a while to access your cars. There are plenty of open air parking lots nearby the hotel which has a tie up with the hotel so that was a good option, if it was not raining. Laundry room information and availability shown on the TV is really helpful for planning a laundry run."

Matsumoto Marunouchi Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A charming hotel with spacious, comfortable rooms and a perfect location — just two blocks from the castle and within walking distance of plenty of restaurants and charming little shops. The only downside is that the breakfast doesn’t offer many Western options, but overall, we really enjoyed our stay!"

aduminoyu onyado nonomatsumoto

10/10 Excellent

"I truly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable and authentic experience. What impressed me most was the incredibly welcoming staff, who made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. Their genuine hospitality added a personal touch that made all the difference.The experience felt authentic and thoughtfully curated, with so many small details carefully considered to make guests feel special. From the atmosphere to the little touches throughout my stay, everything contributed to a unique and memorable experience. It was clear that a lot of care and attention went into creating such a wonderful environment. I left with great memories and would happily return in the future."

THE CELECTON Matsumoto

8/10 Good

"The Celecton is a nice, standard Japanese hotel. The rooms are small, but they are practical, very clean and amenities are good. If you want a hotel that is close to the Castle then this is a good one, but it is 10-15 minutes walk to the train station, restaurants, and the other attractions in Matsumoto. My room was facing the Castle but directly above a busy road, so it was quite noisy."
