Hiyori Hotel Matsuyama

The location was fantastic, right in front of the shopping arcade and tram station, with plenty of restaurants all around. The room was quite spacious and, being relatively new, was kept very spotless. I also loved the plumbing and bathroom setup—the bathroom felt just like home with a separate toilet and wash area. You could see Matsuyama Castle right from the room window. With the welcome drink, the complimentary nighttime ochazuke (rice in green tea), and a fully satisfying breakfast, it was truly a wonderful hotel.

This is the first time I've given a full 5-star rating; absolutely no flaws! The location is fantastic, and the ¥2,500 breakfast is incredible value for money. I loved the 9:30 PM complimentary late-night snack and the daily complimentary drink. It's also the first time I've ever seen a foot massager in a hotel room. You can catch the airport limousine bus right across the street, and Okaido shopping street and the Mitsukoshi department store are right there too. Matsuyama Castle is just behind the hotel—less than a 10-minute walk—and the tram stops right out front for easy access to the train station and Dogo Onsen.

The staff member who spoke Korean very well made check-in and getting information very easy. The facilities are great, and the price and location are excellent. The window in the room opened easily, making ventilation very convenient!👍 I was also very satisfied with the free drink service (including alcohol) of one per person starting around 6 PM. The hotel is right in front of the tram stop and Okaido street, and the path to Matsuyama Castle is next to the hotel, which was great. If I visit again, I think I'll book Hiyori Hotel again😁 I had a comfortable stay and am leaving now~~~

This hotel offers good value for money. I usually hear it's quite cheap. There were mostly Japanese guests. If you don't mind walking, you can stroll to Matsuyama Castle behind the hotel. Just a short walk across from the hotel, you'll find the Kiyomachi tram stop, making it convenient to get to Okaido. However, the hotel is very old, and the furniture is dated, so the old smell is unavoidable. But it has everything you need, haha. It's great for those who just need a place to sleep. If you walk out of the hotel and turn right, you'll reach Taihei Honkan Hotel in about a minute. They said breakfast is served there. It was around 1100 yen, nothing special.

The location is great! Right in front of the tram stop and at the entrance of the Okaido shopping street. The airport bus drops you off nearby, and the pick-up spot is just across the street. The rooms facing the tram line can be noisy. The breakfast, at 2500 yen, felt a bit expensive for the limited variety. While they refilled the food promptly, it wasn't always hot. However, they did offer seabream rice and unlimited fresh squeezed juice, plus complimentary Ochasuke in the evening, so it might be worth trying once. Even in the smallest room, the bed was surprisingly spacious – even bigger than the one at Hotel Vista next door! All the staff, both Korean and Japanese, were incredibly friendly. They were the kindest among the three hotels I stayed at in Matsuyama. As for whether I'd return... I'm not sure.

The breakfast was excellent, truly incorporating Ehime's local specialties. They even had a Mikan (tangerine) juice tasting, which felt like a great value. The 'Happy Hour' event offered a free alcoholic drink and a Tai Chazuke (sea bream over rice with broth) service, showing their commitment to hospitality. The hotel's location is, needless to say, superb. You can easily return to the hotel multiple times during the day from tourist spots to rest and recuperate, and Dogo Onsen is within walking distance if you fancy a stroll. This is definitely a hotel I'd want to stay at again.

The hotel is less than 30 seconds away from where the airport shuttle drops you off. The amenities are good, they offer welcome tea and even a late-night snack. The breakfast buffet is also decent. If I go back, I'd probably book here again. Plus, it's right in front of Okaido, which is great for walking around at night. The accessibility is just top-notch.

This hotel is located right in front of Okaido. It's also quite close to Matsuyama Castle. However, if you're a fan of shopping at places like Uniqlo or Kaldi, it might feel a bit far. Be sure to try the hotel's complimentary drink service, sea bream rice, and sake – they're definitely worth experiencing.

This is a great hotel! All the toiletries, including facial toner, lotion, facial cleanser, and makeup remover, are from Pola. On top of that, the first floor offers complimentary Korean face masks and mouthwash for guests. They even provide a curling iron in the room! Many Koreans choose this hotel; I heard Korean spoken everywhere inside.
