Iโ€™ve stayed in a couple of Smile Hotels in Tokushima and Hakata. However, the one in Matsuyama did not do as well as the above 2. 1. Location: About 10mins walk to Okaido if you walk thru the alley of bars & pubs, 15mins to avoid the above 2. The AC is only in heating and fan mode. Have to utilized the in-room humidifier to cool down the room or to open the window (but itโ€™s noisy) These are the 2 points that took away the 2 stars. The rest, ie. facilities, amenities and staffs are good.

Twin-bed room, one-night stay, 13/02/2024 - 14/02/2024. This hotel is super clean and comfortable, like most hotels in Japan. Service was excellent and unthinkable for European standards, compared to the room price (36,30 euro including taxes). Two unique aspects: 1. Smell: the corridor on the second floor had a wonderful, indescribable scent of clean like the one one you sometimes smell on clothes. It was so enjoyable! 2. Smile: As the hotel name suggests, staff members had a large smile which I liked a lot (although they looked a bit tensed during check-in). By mistake I had booked a smoking room, but the staff kindly changed it to a non-smoking room right away. I only had a small breakfast; nonetheless I liked much the variety of Japanese food available. Suggestions for improvement: Curtains were too thin and let light filter on day time, which disturbed sleep. It would be nice to have completely light-blocking curtains.
