Hotel dekat Stasiun Murai, Matsumoto

Great Stay at Hotel Courtland, Matsumoto! Just wanted to drop a quick review for Hotel Courtland in Matsumoto—what a pleasant find! The location is absolutely fantastic. Seriously, it's about a 5-minute, worry-free walk from the station. This was a huge plus, especially since we had luggage; no need to struggle or look for a taxi. Adding to the value, the price at the time of booking was very cheap, making this a fantastic deal! As for the hotel itself, I have to say, it's exceptionally clean. Like, super clean. It made our stay feel very comfortable and relaxing. What really stood out was the amazing hospitality. We arrived after a 4-hour ride from Tokyo and were pretty frozen from the winter shock. The staff kindly offered us a free early check-in, which was incredibly thoughtful and exactly what we needed to warm up and refresh. It really saved the day! We didn't get a chance to try the breakfast this time, but based on everything else, I imagine it's great too. Highly recommend this hotel if you're ever in Matsumoto!

Staying at Shoho in Matsumoto was an unforgettable experience that truly deserves five stars. Nestled amidst the serene landscapes of Nagano Prefecture, this hotel seamlessly blends traditional Japanese elegance with modern luxury. From the moment we stepped into the lobby, we were enveloped by a warm and inviting ambiance that set the tone for the rest of our stay. Our room was a perfect sanctuary—spacious, meticulously clean, and adorned with subtle touches of Japanese artistry. The panoramic views of the Japanese Alps from our window were nothing short of breathtaking, especially when the mountains were bathed in the soft glow of sunrise. The traditional tatami flooring and comfortable futon bedding provided an authentic experience without sacrificing comfort. One of the standout features of Shoho is its exceptional onsen facilities. Soaking in the natural hot springs while gazing at the picturesque scenery was incredibly rejuvenating. The rotenburo (outdoor bath) offered a tranquil escape where the stresses of daily life simply melted away. The hotel's attention to detail extended to these spaces, with beautifully crafted woodwork and stone elements enhancing the overall atmosphere. Culinary delights awaited us at every meal. The kaiseki dinner was a masterpiece—a multi-course feast that highlighted seasonal and local ingredients. Each dish was artfully presented and demonstrated a profound respect for Japanese culinary traditions. The breakfast buffet was equally impressive, offering a wide array of both Japanese and Western options to suit all palates. The staff at Shoho went above and beyond to ensure our stay was exceptional. Their genuine hospitality was evident in every interaction, from assisting with our luggage to offering insightful recommendations on local attractions. Despite any language barriers, their kindness and professionalism shone through. The hotel's location is ideal for exploring the rich cultural heritage of Matsumoto. We were just a short drive from the iconic Matsumoto Castle, one of Japan's most beautiful original castles. Strolling through the historic Nakamachi Street with its classic white-walled storehouses turned boutique shops and cafes was a delightful way to spend an afternoon. In addition to its proximity to cultural sites, Shoho serves as a great base for nature enthusiasts. The nearby Kamikochi Valley offers stunning hiking trails that showcase the unspoiled beauty of the Japanese Alps. Returning to the comfort of the hotel after a day of exploration was something we looked forward to, especially knowing a soothing onsen soak awaited us. In summary, Shoho encapsulates the essence of Japanese hospitality. Every aspect of our stay was thoughtfully curated to provide comfort, relaxation, and cultural enrichment. We left feeling deeply refreshed and with a greater appreciation for the wonders of Matsumoto. Shoho is more than just a place to stay—it's an experience that lingers long after you've departed. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an authentic and luxurious retreat in Japan.

Hotelnya kecil, tetapi memiliki sauna, ada ruang makan, rak besar berisi manga, sangat bersih, lokasinya bagus - tidak jauh dari kastil, di sebelah stasiun kereta api dan bus. Ada juga supermarket besar di dekatnya, ada konbini di dekatnya, banyak kafe. Kamarnya kecil, tetapi ada ketel dan lemari es, mereka membagikan piyama. Kami sangat menyukai semuanya

Lokasinya dekat, tetapi bisa dibilang jauh untuk berjalan kaki dari stasiun. Lokasinya sangat jauh dari jalan setapak/kota dan kastil (sekitar 1 km atau sedikit lebih). Bus/transportasi tidak bisa berhenti tepat di area tersebut, jadi Anda harus berjalan kaki. Jika Anda ingin tetap dekat dengan stasiun, ada pilihan yang lebih baik dan lokasinya lebih mudah dijangkau dari stasiun. Hotel Buena Vista tidak semudah itu. Stafnya masih junior dan belum berpengalaman. Saya mengalami masalah data telepon dan meminta bantuan Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi di lobi sangat lemah sehingga saya tidak bisa terhubung. Akhirnya saya kembali ke stasiun JR untuk meminta Wi-Fi publik agar data saya diperbaiki. Staf hanya menatap saya tanpa menawarkan solusi apa pun. Tetapi seorang staf ramah dan dia berdiri di lobi. Dia menyerahkan peta Matsumoto untuk saya jelajahi sebelum check-in pukul 15.00. Hei, saya kira ini yang dilakukan oleh petugas di konter, bukan pria yang berdiri di lobi hotel! Ketika disebutkan Hotel Buena Vista punya kafe yang bagus, dll., ternyata tempatnya sudah ketinggalan zaman dan tidak ada yang istimewa. Namun, keuntungannya adalah memesan slot dan mengunjungi hotel saudara yang lebih dekat ke gunung dengan bus antar-jemput yang disediakan untuk fasilitas onsen mereka. Itu luar biasa!!! Harap pesan lebih awal sebelum kehabisan. Namun, slot yang tersedia adalah waktu makan malam. Jadi, mohon pertimbangkan.

The hotel has a weird smell in the lift and lobby when you entered the building. Room wise is ok. staff are friendly and helpful. they offer drinks including alcoholic drinks till 8pm every night. Hotel breakfast is fresh and good. location is good as it is close to the JR station and the price is reasonable. but the hotel needs to improve the smell in the building. people who are budget conscious can go for this choice.

The front desk Nepal staff is helpful. It’s quite far from the station. Unfortunately, I came there on a snowy day, and it was terrible to walk to the station. It's an old building and there is no room for nonsmoking and the lobby has a bad smoking smell.

Honestly, I can't praise this place enough. The owners are a really lovely couple; very welcoming and extremely helpful. The rooms are great - plenty of space and all the amenities you need for a short stay. The onsen is just the best - it's a private one that you can lock the door to and have to yourself for as long as you can cope with the hot water! But the *food* - wow! The food is absolutely fantastic and expertly cooked. Honestly, I've eaten in Michelin starred restaurants with food that wasn't as good as this. On top of that, at our first evening meal, we found that the message hadn't been relayed about my wife being a pescatarian. Anywhere else that might have been a problem, but within twenty-five minutes an entire new fish meal had been prepared and served - and was absolutely amazing. We were SO impressed. Also, what a truly beautiful location. Oh yes, and they have *monkeys*!! They wandered past the property in the evening and wandered back the next morning. I'm trying to name anything negative and I honestly can't - the closest thing I can think of is that the property is hard to locate and you definitely need a car to get there, but if you can get there, do - it was one of two equal-best places we've stayed at in Japan. Thank you to the owners (sorry, I never asked your names) for a wonderful stay in your home.
