ANA Crowne Plaza Matsuyama by IHG

I liked everything about this hotel. The level of service and friendliness of staff impressed me the most but everything else was also top-notch. Breakfast was delicious Japanese fare (I think they also offer American-style but I didn't partake), the room was very comfortable and the location was good for me and my plans. Yeah, I reckon I'll stay here on my next visit to Matsuyama.

Hotel is adjacent to a shopping mall in downtown Matsuyama. Had a good nights sleep, quiet rooms. Tram station nearby to get to sightseeing Dogo Onsen, Ropeway to Matsuyama Castle only a few steps from the hotel. Very nice place to stay to discover Matsuyama and surroundings.

This hotel is very centrally located in Matsuyama, and everything is in easy walking distance. There is a large department store next door that has a food hall in the basement with lots of options for eating. The staff were great, and had even set up our luggage that we'd sent ahead in our room for us. The bar on the top floor has gorgeous views of the castle. Our room was compact but functional.

Room temperature is nice under good control. Bed n pillows are nice. I had good sleep. Location is good.

the hotel is located amongst multiple other hotels in the area and is thus close to bus and tram stops, and is close to various shopping and dining options (including two family marts within a 5 min walk from the hotel). the rooms are compact but the amenities and complementary items were a nice treat. the private bathroom was surprisingly spacious in comparison to the photos provided. staff were also very kind and helpful in answering questions i had about transport.
