The waiters and other staff are dressed in very formal cloths and the hotel has the English feel and look to it. The service overall was good though breakfast was a little strange and a bit to formal. An example of strange is you could have two bacon strips or two sausages but not one of both? Strange. we had lunch there as well as we just arrived and they had lets us check in early which was nice, food was good though be warned kids will find the restaurant way to formal. the rooms were a very good size with a nice couch to relax after a hard days walking. There is a park very close by and I used this for my morning walk. The baths were real nice and clean and modern and the hot water soak was just as good as any in the area. this place was more geared for tourists and we did quite a bit of shopping with very helpful people. the one strange thing was you have to take your washing down stairs and also pick it up down stairs another unusual point. ||||There are trams that run all day and if you get the all day pass it works out real cheap especially if you are doing a lot of sight seeing.||||Avoid the museum of glass, waste of money and time.||||Overall a good hotel and we would stay...

Most of the hotel guests are Japanese. Hotel staff are a little...
Read moreIt is a super quirky hotel with teddybears and other British paraphernalia scattered around the hotel.
The staff is friendly but the restaurant is super slow. Both mornings I got my tea 25 minutes after it was ordered and I had finished the rest of my breakfast.
The western breakfast was mediocre at best. No beans and no toast (it’s an English themed hotel…). The 2 fried eggs had a been cooked so the yolk was hard and the bacon had hardly been cooked at all and limited to one rasher.
Rooms are clean, basic and beds are very hard.
Location is 5min walk from the old Onsen.
Coming back to Matsuyama, I would find...
