Top Sawando Hotel Reviews

Dormy Inn Matsumoto Natural Hot Spring

8/10 Good

"Typical Dormy Inn, clean with efficient staff. Not too far from train station and the major attractions in Matsumoto. Took about 10 minutes to walk to the Castle and shopping streets. Public bath was clean and never crowded. Building is a little worn but we'll maintained and of course clean."

Toyoko Inn Matsumoto-eki Higashi-guchi

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was very good but very crowded Staff was friendly and very helpful. Unfortunate we couldn't store luggage at the hotel after checkout and had to rent a storage locker at the train station until 3pm."

Takumi no Yado Miyama Ouan

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel delivered exactly what we were seeking: top end but traditional experience of J. Alps, with gorgeous natural spring baths. Way more than expected, the Kaiseki dinners were outstanding, and staff went over and above to help (we even needed an MD). I would very highly recommend this onsen inn."

10/10 Excellent

"Traditional hotel well placed for local sights."

Iroha Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely hotel with nice decor. Ozuwa (apologies if I spelt her name wrong) was very very kind, welcoming and helpful in our check in process. She was amazing. Fantastic extras include a welcome drink, and the option of Ramen or ice cream between 8 and 10 PM. A memorable addition to the hotel stay!"

Alpico Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Small room that was a little tired, but clean. Had 2 rooms, so next to our teenage kids but no connecting rooms at the hotel. Amenities were at the reception to help yourself if needed. Free hot and cold soft drinks available every afternoon in the restaurant."

Kamikochi Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The food is super good."
