Chikuma Hotel Guide - Joyama Historic Park and Arata-Jo Mountain Castle hotels in Chikuma, Japan.

"clean and well-connected"

"Laundry service area was perfect. Staff was super friendly and helpful!!"

"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."

"Room was very small and the bed was placed at the corner that one side doesn’t have bedside table or any space, it was hard to get out of the bed. The breakfast was great and at the higher floor with a view. Wished it was open for dinner or drinks as well. "

"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. "

"Great value for the price, location is ideal and the staff were exceptional "

"You have to try their savery salad and the authentic pizza. Just a dilicious meal. The staff was always very kind with me. All great!"

"Baths were strange, very deep but very short. Was different, but not necessarily bad. Good budget hotel for a couple nights stay. Would stay again 4/5"

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