Business Hotel Akayane Reviews

Location is great! Less than 5 minutes walk to Matsuyama JR station. There was no staff at the counter in the morning. Although you can contact them with phone call, it's inconvenience for foreigners. I arrived in the morning and needed luggage check-in. Ended up leaving my luggage by myself in the corner of the lobby where several other luggages were left. Good thing there is 24hr video surveillance pointing at the luggage area and one can chain-lock the luggage to the rail shelf. Suggest to bring a chain-lock if you need to leave luggage there. Check-in was easy and staff was friendly. Room is accessed via physical key, not RFID card like commonly seen today in hotels. I booked single room. There is no tea kettle, tea bags, coffee, or drinking water inside the room. All those ammenities are at the lobby. Hot/cold water is only available from a portable water dispenser. I was really surprised that it is not allowed to refill the water with your own bottle (or any resuable bottle). The staff told me it is for hygenie concerns. One can only use the provided tiny paper cup (50~70ml in volume) to get water or make coffee/tea. And it is not allowed to eat/drink in the lobby area. So you have to hold the tiny cup and go back to your room to consume it. Very inconvenient to me. They offer 2 kinds of set menu for breakfast: chicken congee and sea bream rice soup (Tai-chazuke). I had the later and it was delicious. Overall, the stay met my expectations with price I paid except for the inconvenience in getting hot water for making tea or coffee myself. If I ever travel to Matsuyama bymyself again, I'll definitely consider staying in this place again. But I won't recommend it for couple or family stay though.

Wonderful and delicious breakfast.

Located right outside Matsuyama JR station and the tram station for Iyotetsu. Also connects nicely with the airport limousine/local bus to Matsuyama airport. Located right next to an entertainment complex with an arcade, spa and a couple of restaurants.

Very proximal to jr station. Next to convenience store. Good choice if you need to travel around with Jr.

Near JR Matsuyama Station. Service is basic but prompt. Good value for money.

It was incredibly clean. The restrooms, in particular, were super spotless!! Definitely great for solo travel

It's right across from the JR station, very close by walk and convenient for transportation. The single room isn't big, but there are many restaurants and convenience stores nearby. You can store your luggage and do laundry at the counter on the first floor.

Breakfast is separate (there may be plans for busy periods). There are two options available in December 2025, each priced at 800 yen. Advance reservations are required. Breakfast is served on the 7th floor with a great view. There is a slight tram noise in the morning, but it's not too noticeable. For those who like to go back and forth between the hotel and the hotel frequently, you can keep your key until check-out, which is convenient. The price is just right for those who prefer a small private room over a capsule hotel. The smoking room was cheaper, so I booked that. As a non-smoker, the smell bothered me a little when I first entered the room, but I got used to it after a while. Since it's a business hotel, the bathroom is small, so if you want a large bath, there's a hot spring nearby, so it's fine. Personally, I preferred this over Dogo Onsen.

The rooms are private and have a bathroom and toilet, and are equipped with basic amenities. Located in front of JR Matsuyama Station, it's a great option for those looking for an affordable private place to sleep.

Superior location right next to the station, easy access to Dogo Onsen. It's perfectly fine to stay overnight. There will be no employees until after 3pm.

The hotel is in a good location, just a few minutes away from Songshan Station, and it is very convenient to visit surrounding attractions. Although the hotel is relatively old, the rooms are clean and the basic facilities are available. It is recommended.

Although it's a relatively small hotel, the front desk staff are very welcoming, and the rooms meet basic needs, making it a hotel with a high cost-performance ratio.

A pleasant hotel right next to the train station. Although all rooms were booked, it was very quiet. Breakfast offered a choice of two dishes, both really delicious and regional. The room had everything you needed for a comfortable stay.

The biggest selling point is undoubtedly its excellent location right in front of JR Matsuyama Station. Even if you arrive on the last train from Okayama, it's perfectly manageable. If you have time, you can even go to a hot spring for a day trip, and there's a convenience store within walking distance. Even without the hot springs, this is the only place I would recommend staying in Matsuyama.
