Richmond Hotel Matsumoto
Convenient location, very walkable. No dedicated drop off points which can make loading and unloading of suitcases difficult.

Iroha Grand Hotel
Loved the staff, the customer service was great. However the bed was very very uncomfortable. If you need a bed with more cushion this isn’t the place for you. However, the location was close to Matsumoto station and the restaurants around the hotel were awesome!

Matsumoto Hotel Kagetsu
Nice hotel we used the Japanese style room with futon and in room shower. My GF had her period so it was good she didn’t need to use the onsen. Room was nice and big and very close to Matsumoto castle. Only thing I was disappointed was parking fee. It’s far from tokyo so I assume many would drive ...
