Hotels near Bocchan Wind up Clock, Matsuyama

I really had a great stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and simple, with separate bath and toilet, a sauna, and the bathtub was so relaxing I could stretch my legs out for a long time. I really respect the architect who designed this hotel. I think it was the best hotel I've ever stayed at. The breakfast was Western-style and excellent. It was delicious. It was so comfortable that I relaxed right up until the last minute before check-out. It's in the Mitsukoshi building, and it's conveniently located along Okaido. I'll go again.

Good location next to Matsuyama station, easy access to Okaido, big shopping street, and famous Dogo onsen hot springs by tram. 2nf floor is the front desk/lounge for free drinks and soft ice cream/breakfast restaurant. The public bath is on 3rd floor. Room size is the Japanese standard, more storage space under the bed. Breakfast offers various food, many local cuisine and food, and 6 different kinds of local orange juices from Ehime.

Since it was my first time traveling to a small town, I didn't have high expectations for the accommodation. I had heard that business accommodations are often small, so I booked this place intending to use it only for sleeping and showering. The toilet and shower were separate, and the kitchen facilities included a microwave, kettle, refrigerator, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, etc. It felt just like renting a regular house. It got plenty of sunlight and was located in a quiet area, making it a pleasant place to stay the entire time. I had such a great time that I would love to stay here again if I visit next time!

Staying in Comfort Hotel Matsuyama was one of the best experiences I had for my trip in Shikoku. Here are what I like about it: 1. Spacious room and new facilities (the hotel smells good as well haha) 2. Excellent location with nearby tram & train stations and 7-11 stores. 3. Great breakfast & friendly staffs. I will definitely stay here again if I ever come back to Matsuyama.

We wanted to experience Dogo Onsen and this was a great choice (albeit expensive because it was a holiday weekend). The hotel is lovely and the service is beyond excellent. The staff was super kind as we are English speakers. Plus, we really enjoyed the hotels onsens better than the ones in town (the Dogo Onsen is being renovated and only one room was open for each gender; the same was the case with the Annex). The hotels onsens were lovely and the private outdoor onsen was a really lovely experience. We also took advantage of their convenient bus service into town although it’s only a 10 minute walk and we walked multiple times. Highly recommend!

Stayed at HOTEL MYSTAYS Matsuyama as a solo traveler and had a very pleasant experience. The location is convenient, with easy access to JR Matsuyama Station, trams, and major attractions like Matsuyama Castle and Dogo Onsen. My room was larger than I expected for Japan, clean, and comfortable. The staff were helpful and check-in was smooth. The hotel has useful amenities such as Wi-Fi and self-service laundry, which are great for solo travelers. Breakfast was very good, with a good variety of Japanese and Western options. Overall, it's a good-value hotel and an excellent base for exploring Matsuyama. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone who visit the city.

The hotel is not close to Dogo Onsen street and you will need to drive or get a taxi if you want to go there. There are no restaurants or shops nearby the hotel. There is a walk nearby the hotel you can take which offers nice scenery in the woods. The hotel looks a bit dated particularly the bedrooms and the corridors. I asked for a quiet room facing the mountain instead of one facing a busy road and had to pay an additional 2200 yen. The hotel has a number of onsens and I like the outdoor ones best. The buffet dinner and breakfast offer good selection and I particularly like the dinner which offered nice teppanyaki beef and sushi. The hotel reception staff spoke very little English and the hotel did not reply to an email I sent them asking for transportation information to get to the hotel. There are buses near the hotel which go to Matsuyama and Imabari but they run infrequently.

Friendly and helpful staff. Allow to leave luggage before checkin time. Bike parking area in hall. Close to 4 convenience store and Okaido shopping street. Paid breakfast which has good variety.

I was there at Jan 2024, and only stayed there for 2 days. The staff there can speak English, and were nice. The second day I stayed there, the staff offered me to have hotpot with all the other people living in Fujiya, an unforgettable experience I treasured and will forever remembered. Even though it is a proxy of a Japanese family, it did feel like I have experienced the Japanese hospitality and friendliness. There were some interesting characters, who may or may not frequented Fujiya, whom I had the pleasure to have this hotpot together. The facilities are not the best, but the basics necessities were there and no complaining from me, they have an AC there, comfortable enough for me. The staff did explain that there is only one shower, so we might have to wait for the person to finish. However, since the location is so close to Dogo Onsen, they did recommend to go there instead, and after all, it was why i chose this location in the first place. Location is really close to the Dogo Onsen and the Yuzuki-Castle ruin, which was a lifesaver for me I would say that all other sight-seeing locations are within walking distance as well since I did walk to all those interesting places. However, I do realize not all people like to walk like I do. To counter that, Fujiya is practically next to the tram station, which you can use it to go to many places in the city. tldr, would recommend

Location is great! Less than 5 minutes walk to Matsuyama JR station. There was no staff at the counter in the morning. Although you can contact them with phone call, it's inconvenience for foreigners. I arrived in the morning and needed luggage check-in. Ended up leaving my luggage by myself in the corner of the lobby where several other luggages were left. Good thing there is 24hr video surveillance pointing at the luggage area and one can chain-lock the luggage to the rail shelf. Suggest to bring a chain-lock if you need to leave luggage there. Check-in was easy and staff was friendly. Room is accessed via physical key, not RFID card like commonly seen today in hotels. I booked single room. There is no tea kettle, tea bags, coffee, or drinking water inside the room. All those ammenities are at the lobby. Hot/cold water is only available from a portable water dispenser. I was really surprised that it is not allowed to refill the water with your own bottle (or any resuable bottle). The staff told me it is for hygenie concerns. One can only use the provided tiny paper cup (50~70ml in volume) to get water or make coffee/tea. And it is not allowed to eat/drink in the lobby area. So you have to hold the tiny cup and go back to your room to consume it. Very inconvenient to me. They offer 2 kinds of set menu for breakfast: chicken congee and sea bream rice soup (Tai-chazuke). I had the later and it was delicious. Overall, the stay met my expectations with price I paid except for the inconvenience in getting hot water for making tea or coffee myself. If I ever travel to Matsuyama bymyself again, I'll definitely consider staying in this place again. But I won't recommend it for couple or family stay though.
