Matsue Hotels with Breakfast

The hotel is located near Matsue station. The front desk agents were very polite and did their best to talk to me, despite my very broken Japanese. Guests are given a locker, protected by a keycard. The locker itself was good enough for me, who took only a conventional backpack and a pair of shoes, but might not be enough for those who are not traveling light like that. The bathrooms were shared and quite clean, fully furnished with amenities for showers and personal hygiene. WiFi was included and it was quite decent for general use, even when inside the shared bedroom. The bed capsule had a pillow and a blanket, lights and power outlets for phones. I had more space than I imagined, enough for me to sit on the bed. The only downside of this room type was air circulation, probably due to the hot climate that's been the standard here in Japan lately, but I think the fans could work more efficiently or the capsules could use an AC outlet. Other than that, I recommend this location and will certainly stay with them again.

Near Songjiang Station, you can take buses to nearby attractions. There is a LAWSON supermarket 100 meters outside the hotel.

I checked in in the evening, but due to construction work on the parking lot, I was redirected to a different lot. There was no explanation, so I didn't know how to get in and couldn't enter the parking lot. Also, there was no explanation when I checked in at the front desk, so I had to ask each time about whether breakfast was available, etc. The bath was also a little far away, so I went to get a ticket, but they simply told me it was across the bridge and that if I didn't know, I should look at the QR code. When I went there, I couldn't find it at all, and returned drenched in sweat without even taking a bath. I looked at the map at the front desk, but it was in a place I couldn't find without being told. One man at the front desk that night was awful, but the other man just ignored me and simply handled the paperwork. It was a terrible night. I was disappointed that even Kyoritsu had employees like that.

It feels like an old inn that has been renovated for individual guests. The building may be old, but the interior is nice. The single private room is extremely small with just a bed. It's fine if you want to lie down and look at your phone, though. Even though it's a private room, you can hear everything from the next room, including snoring and the sound of someone opening a bag. It might be a good idea to bring headphones. But there is an indoor bath, the location is good, and considering the price, I was quite satisfied.

I was driving myself, so I'm not sure about other public transportation options. The service at check-in was excellent. Being from Hong Kong, I specifically requested a ********* staff member to serve me during meals. They were incredibly attentive, explaining each dish meticulously. On another day at breakfast, this same ********* staff member also arranged for friends and family staying in different rooms to sit together. As for the hot springs, there were different areas and types to choose from. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay and would definitely come again.

This is considered quite stingy for a budget hotel in Japan. Laundry costs extra, dryer costs extra, and laundry detergent costs 100 yen. They don't provide skincare sets, bottled water, or disposable slippers (I asked the front desk, and they said the hotel doesn't provide them). Even the public bath lacks skincare products, and there were unidentified stains on the curtains. The facilities, however, are very new and clean. Except for the curtains and slippers, everything else is very well cleaned. Check-in is self-service; you can complete the process without speaking to the front desk.

The building is old, but appears to have been renovated. Depending on the room, the view from the window may not be great. The origami and other things show the hospitality. As for the food, I was satisfied with both the quantity and quality. There were no problems with the customer service either.

The room is large. The hot spring is good, but the water temperature is not too hot enough. Free parking, keep key at the front desk. Breakfast is generally the same, Japanese and Western styles have D, but there are no expectations.

One of the most comfortable mid-range hotels I have ever stayed in after at least 80 nights in hotels in Japan. And the extensive breakfast buffet is the best I have ever had.

The hotel staff are very polite and will introduce tourist attractions in Songjiang. The hotel facilities need to be improved and the carpet needs to be updated. The breakfast is acceptable, including fried eggs with herring, etc.
