A very short $7 taxi ride from Matsumoto Station found us outside the Harmonie Bien and, my word, didn't the outside look stylish. Entry is via a large reception room which is part of their wedding business and it's through that to reception. The reception area is small and as they have no wifi there's a PC there for your...

This hotel was the most well appointed and luxurious hotel that we had in Japan. It is well situated just a few hundred meters from the castle. It appeared to be new and the fit out and furnishings were extremely comfortable, luxurious and tasteful. There was a separate toilet which is a bonus and the toilet was fully automatic. The... More

Lovely hotel - very clean, nicely decorated rooms. Close to the station - 10 minute easy walk or catch a taxi if you prefer. Close to the castle and river so nice location overall. Only negative is no wifi in room - only a pc in the lobby that you can access Internet.

My husband and I traveled to Matsumoto to trip down to my husband's memory lane as he used to live there in his univ. days. He wanted to visit and try all the restaurants and bars in old downtown area where he, a young and poor student, was offered nice foods to fill himself up. Unfortunately some of them were... More

We love this hotel because everything felt new and clean. The bed and the pillows were very comfortable (not the kind that sinks to the ground when you lie on it) and the twin room was big enough for our family of 3. Matsumoto castle was a short walk (3 mins) away and food was easily accessible. We discovered a... More

We were very pleasantly surprised by the hotel - the rooms are modern and spacious, the staff helpful and the buffet breakfast is a great option. There were a number of interesting dinner options close to the hotel and the reception staff helped us to get a last minute reservation. Matsumoto Castle is a short stroll away and we did... More

We booked at short notice due to a change of plans in our trip. We decided to spend a night in Matsumoto, and because we were arriving late we didn't want an expensive ryokan-style hotel with inclusive dinner that we would likely miss. This is a simple, comfortable and clean western style hotel about 10 minutes walk from the JR... More

This is the closest to a 'boutique' hotel I came across in Japan, most being larger business type hotels. That said the rooms were similar but that's no bad thing as all Japanese hotel rooms seem to be extremely comfortable and well equipped. We were lucky enough to get a free upgrade on arrival which was lovely as we had... More

The first night I stayed here I arrived dead tired, non-smoking room smelled like smoke. They apologized and quickly put me in a different room. Bathtub lifesaver and great bed. Then a week later I called to stay another night, since I had such a good experience, the guy said no sorry they were full, and I had a hunch... More
