Chikuma Hotels

"No A/C made the stay very unpleasant. Especially because the temp outside was warm also. Very disappointing."

"Great place to stay. Short walk from the station with plenty of shops and eating opportunities nearby. The hotel was great, clean, good sized room and an excellent breakfast in a Japanese style restaurant on the top floor which had great views. The hotel had free saki tasting in the evening along with free bakery items. Staff were excellent and we would definitely stay here again. Bikes were available to hire from reception. "

"Richmond Hotel Matsumoto was a wonderful surprise. As a budget-friendly business hotel, we weren’t expecting much—but it turned out to be far nicer than anticipated. The room was spotlessly clean, with a comfortable queen bed and a divan-style sofa that made for a perfect little reading nook. The breakfast buffet was simple but satisfying, with enough variety to suit even a finicky Western palate. Its location is excellent—convenient to the train station, restaurants, and shopping—making it an easy base for exploring. Matsumoto itself is a lovely city that feels a bit under the radar for international travellers, yet it offers so much charm. It’s also an ideal staging point for trips into the Japanese Alps or the Kiso Valley. All in all, a great option if you’re looking for something budget-friendly without feeling bare bones."

"Absolutely terrible I highly recommend not staying. Everything broken and old, destroyed furniture and walls, mold growing out of the vents, terrible water pressure, beds with broken springs, over crowded, no nearby restaurant options, terrible quality, extremely overpriced. "

"Clean, quiet, nice views of the city and surrounding mountains. Good breakfast, friendly staff. Beds are hard."

"Nice hotel, love the ramen and ice cream for free at night "

"Very good location, nice room, I loved the massage chair . "

"Clean room . Nice view"

"Amenity choices are wide. The frontdesk staff is super polite and efficient. The location and parking area is closed to main train station which is very convenient. The parking fee is ¥800 which is even lower than some smaller city. Good deal!"
