Hotaka Hotels, Azumino

"They serve free ramen or ice cream every day from 8-10 and it was extremely convenient getting back from a day of exploring and having that option at the hotel instead of having to look for food."

"Great staff! Friendly and very helpful. Food (in the restaurant) was awesome! The “Western” style dinner in particular … i know you’re in Japan, but the chef is great… ya gotta try while you’re there. Castle is nice. Not a lot to do in Matsumoto, but walkable. Location of Hotel is good (bread place around the corner and castle is vey close). Note: the hotel itself is not new, but it is clean."

"Perfect location to visit the castle and a wonderful view of it from our room. Clean, large and well kept room, with a very useful laundry machine in our room. Perfect for a long trip when you need a refresh."

"Everything we needed"

"Chambre petite mais confortable. Nous avons apprécié le onsen. Le personnel est extra!"

"Staff and front desk where ok! The room was clean but had a light stingy smell. The breakfast was a bit 'poor' when it came to verity, but did the job "

"It’s a very simple hotel, yet everything was clean and functional. Thank you all for your service."

"Book the loft room for a family of 4 Room: table has a hole at the bottom (not lighted) and was not very visible. Was quite a hazard for us as we tripped over that same hole twice. Stairs for the loft may not be suitable for people with knee problems as it’s a bit narrow with no handle. Keep in mind before you book that you have sort your trash into the way they want it to be sorted (burnable and non burnable) or else you may be fined 15,000 yen. Food: food was not as impressive as another outlet of this chain. Breakfast options are Japanese or western, with the same menu everyday. So if you’re staying for more than 2 days, you will have no third option. Staff: rigid and not understanding. We booked this accommodation 9 months in advance but did not receive any message about meal plans or schedule, was put to a 7am slot of breakfast 5:30pm slot for dinner with no option to change as they were fully booked. We were definitely not too pleased with this arrangement. There is no coffee served during breakfast, yet we were prohibited to bring our own coffee into breakfast. We were told to get coffee from their lounge instead. When we did this on the second day, they confiscated our drinks that we’ve gotten from the lounge. Quite ridiculous honestly. We were not given the best attitude from the staff when this coffee incident happened. The staff rolled eyes at us, wow. "

"Excellent hotel in a very good location. The room was large, beautiful and well equipped. Great amenities and breakfast, friendly staff. "
