The room was quite small, and the view from the window was a messy cityscape. You couldn't even see Matsuyama Castle from the room. Both the bedding and breakfast were of mediocre quality, which meant it wasn't great value for money.
However, the location was excellent. From Matsuyama Station, you can take tram line 3 or 5 to Okaido, and the hotel is just a two-minute walk from the tram stop. The hotel is surrounded by various dining options and is very close to department stores.
Excellent location, very near Dogo Onsen and Shopping Street. Just need go via elevator, which is exclusive for hotel guests and well-connected. Hotel onsen is also good for use, no need to go with the crowd at Dogo Onsen.
If you're traveling with family, especially with your parents, this is a place I definitely recommend!! The size of the place is so huge that even if there's nothing nearby, just playing around inside the place is so much fun! The quality of the breakfast, dinner, and buffet is amazing... There's a massage shop, table tennis table, bar, and more, so there's nothing you can't find. The hot springs are amazing, and it was perfect to enjoy the hot springs while looking out at the forest. ㅠㅠ If I go to Matsuyama next time, this is a place I'll definitely be visiting again!!
Vessel Hotel Matsuyama is conveniently located right next to Takashimaya. A special thank you to Shibagaki at the front desk for her exceptional help, which significantly enhanced my positive impression of Vessel.
I booked two superior rooms a month in advance, and the room size was very comfortable. There's also a large public bath on the 3rd floor, featuring a hot spring and a semi-outdoor warm bath. In the lobby, time-limited self-service beverages and Ehime ice cream are available (ice cream from 7 PM to 9 PM), which were a big hit with the kids. The hotel breakfast was excellent; the DIY udon noodles and five different flavors of orange juice were particularly my children's favorites.
There were many Korean tourists at the hotel, but surprisingly few Chinese guests. The Ferris wheel on the 9th floor of the adjacent Takashimaya offers a discounted price of 500 JPY if you show your passport. Additionally, Takashimaya's B1 level has a Mini One bakery with freshly baked goods that's definitely worth a try.
Nice location. It's just like an ordinary Japanese hot spring hotel, the highlight is the hot spring pool on the top floor, where you can look up at the stars at night. The dinner was average (felt like a group meal). As other reviews suggested, if you don't have a meal package, you can go to the hot spring street to eat and you might have a better experience.
The room was clean and tidy, and the front desk service was excellent, especially the lady who spoke Chinese. Downstairs is a main street, making transportation very convenient. The streetcar goes directly to the JR station via the No. 2 express line. I visited many places like Imabari Castle, Baishinji Temple, Dogo Onsen, Matsuyama Castle, and Iyo-Ozu. I also stayed at a REI hotel in Takamatsu, which was quite good, just a bit smaller than this one.
A good 5 mins walk away from the hustle and bustle of Imabari Station. That is a pro because the noise in hotel is less when you want quiet sleep.
I had a wonderful time here. Very clean and sanitary. Everything you need to have a comfortable stay. Netflix capable tv was a huge plus!
I will definitely stay again.
This is a hotel with history and stories. The Japanese emperor and the great Japanese writer Natsume have stayed here. The hotel service is good and they will help deliver the luggage to the room. Check-in is at 3pm. We arrived at noon and could only go to Dogo Onsen Street for a walk and wait until after 3pm to go back to the hotel to rest. The kaiseki cuisine for dinner at the hotel is good, and the steak is very tender. There are Western and Japanese breakfast options, and we chose Japanese breakfast. The hotel's hot springs are average, on the second and third floors of the South Building, and the third floor is a cypress hot spring. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from Dogo Onsen Station, which is quite close, but it is uphill from the station. We took a taxi from the hotel at Matsuyama City Station for 1,630 yen.
Very helpful at checkin.
Our tandem-bike could be parked inside the hotel at the lobby.
The hotel is good for cyclists.
Standard bikes van be taken to the room where a device is mounted on the walk to hang the bike.
The hotel's location is excellent, right across from Dogo Onsen Honkan. You step out directly onto the shopping street, and Dogo Onsen Station is just a 3-minute walk away. There are buses to the train station, JR station, airport, and ferry terminal. The staff are very friendly and greet you every day with great enthusiasm. The breakfast is simple but nutritious. It offers great value for money and is highly recommended.

Mma-kuIt is located in the area ahead of the track of Dogo Onsen Station.
I don't recommend it very much because the road is narrow in the residential area to go by car.
Overall, the lighting is dim, but the price is reasonable, so there may be no way around.
I thought there was a plan to rent a bed in the room at the time of booking and stay.
GGuest UserThe overall environment was great. However, there’s one thing I’m extremely dissatisfied with—the walls! The wall between my room and the next is incredibly thin, and it even shakes. I have no idea what kind of ******* is staying next door, but around 12:30 a.m., they suddenly started banging on the wall multiple times. My bed is right up against that wall, and it shook violently three or four times, waking me up in shock. After that, about every hour, they kept hitting the wall again, making it shake like it was during an earthquake. I honestly never expected a hotel room at ANA to have walls of such poor quality! Even now, thinking back to that night still frightens me.
全体的な環境はとても良かったです。ただ、一つだけどうしても納得できない点があります——それは壁です!私の部屋と隣の部屋の壁が非常に薄く、揺れるほどです。隣の部屋にど*****泊まっているのかわかりませんが、夜中の12時半ごろ、急に何度も壁を叩き始めました。私のベッドはその壁にくっついているため、壁が激しく揺れ、3〜4回ほどで目が覚めてしまいました。その後も1時間おきくらいに壁を叩かれ、まるで地震のように壁が歪むような感覚でした!まさかANAのホテルの壁がこんなにひどいとは思ってもみませんでした。今でもあの夜のことを思い出すと、怖くなります。

EEugeneJYHighly recommended for solo or couple. Owners are very friendly and welcoming, they can speak english and also taught me abit Japanese words. Convenient location for nearby ammenties (by bicycle) like family mart (24hr), bakery, bathhouse, restaurants. I do not mind staying for longer nights but unfortunately I had to leave early to catch the express bus at Imabari for Fukuyama station as I reserved my Shinkansen tickets too early by mistake.
Note: You can checkout anytime. It gets very dark early around 5.40pm, and there is not much lighting around the streets so be careful when cycling.
GGuest UserThe best central hotel you'll find. Fantastic value for money, the hotel is very clean and the staff is very friendly. It's only a few streets away from a massive shopping district including restaurants, so you won't have to go far when you're hungry. There's a tram station very nearby so you can get to Dogo Onsen easily.
The internet in the room is a godsend. Most hotels skimp on the internet so you can only load one webpage an hour, and it makes looking up day trip ideas and booking things a huge pain. At this hotel I had no issues with it. This made it the best hotel for a 'home base' to plan day trips from.
Beware Google Maps getting here, it points you to the southern side of the block, the entrance to this hotel is on the northern side of the block.
RRob LeblancAn excellently located hotel for touring the city. It is right across from the main shopping street. Located on the tram line with short rides to most tourist attractions in Matsuyama.
The rooms are well appointed and the parking is accessed from the rear of the hotel site. It is an automated parking system which requires you to drive it into and out of the elevator before it is whisked away.
I’d recommend this property to anyone looking to visit Matsuyama.
AayutripA Perfect Business Hotel! The rooms are new, clean, and compact but very functional. The bathroom was spotless and shiny. Personally, I really liked the library café in the lobby — a cozy space available to hotel guests even before check-in and after check-out. It offers free drinks, Wi-Fi, and power outlets. Breakfast had a limited selection, but everything was delicious.

GGuest UserWe 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!
