The hotel is conveniently located, just a 10-minute walk from Shin-Matsuyama Station, past the old station. Nearby options include McDonald's, ramen, udon, and donburi. It's also close to the city's train system (essential for getting to Dogo Onsen and Matsuyama Castle). The biggest issue was the hotel elevator, and even the room, which had a musty smell. Luckily, I brought some toilet water, originally for mosquito repellent, which helped significantly. I also sprayed the bed with AQ spray before I could sleep peacefully. However, there's no power switch or USB power supply at the bedside, so you need a long enough cable to use your phone or tablet in bed. The hotel's Wi-Fi connection was completely unavailable, and I even forgot to provide the password slip on my first day. I searched the room for documents, but there was nothing there! The luggage storage area was small, so I had to abandon the desk for my suitcase and use the space for daily necessities. It felt like I was time-traveling back to a hotel I'd stayed in twenty years ago. The room was reasonably clean, but the towels were dark blue and very stiff, so I had to use the spare disposable towels I brought with me (I'll always bring them on future trips, as I might need them).
The rest of the design was quite neat, even the area between the bathtub and the sink was spotless.
For breakfast, you can go to a 7-11 or a store inside Matsuyama Station; otherwise, you'll have to go to a tourist attraction to get breakfast.
