Independent Chikuma hotels

"Room was clean and service excellent . Provision of free coffee, sake and bread in lobby area was a very much appreciated extra. "

"Breakfast buffet was totally worth it, great selection of European and Japanese dishes"

"Convenient location."

"Great staff! Friendly and very helpful. Food (in the restaurant) was awesome! The “Western” style dinner in particular … i know you’re in Japan, but the chef is great… ya gotta try while you’re there. Castle is nice. Not a lot to do in Matsumoto, but walkable. Location of Hotel is good (bread place around the corner and castle is vey close). Note: the hotel itself is not new, but it is clean."

"Staff was amazing but compared to other Mercure hotels this one is very outdated (a lot of furniture was outside so they may be renovating) but wallpaper was peeling, there were marks on the walls and carpet where paintings/furniture used to be) and the beds we had were hard as rocks. As were the pillows. That said the staff and food were exceptional"

"Excellent. The room was tiny (as expected for Japan) but the hotel was clean, bright and modern. Breakfast was good."

"Everything we needed"

"Chambre petite mais confortable. Nous avons apprécié le onsen. Le personnel est extra!"

"My husband and I stayed 1 night at this hotel. The check-in was simple and the staff was friendly and helpful. We speak very little Japanese and there was no problem. We were offered the opportunity to change our room, but declined and stayed in the standard double room. This room is very small but was okay for us for one night. It would be challenging for those with more/larger luggage than the two small carry-on sized pieces we had. Those with full sized luggage should get a larger room (over 18 meters squared). The room was a bit dated but clean. It was reasonable given the price. The hotel offered a good amount of amenities for those needing toothbrushes, razors, tea etc. We just needed coffee which they had. We didn't have breakfast. We didn't need parking. It is close by the train station for easy access to transportation and there was a convenience store within 100ft/50meters. The hotel allowed us to leave our bags with them while we explored after check out. Overall a great, basic accommodation at a reasonable price. "
