Hotel Patio Dogo

I chose this hotel because of the location, right beside the famous onsen in Matsuyama. It was also easy to visit the main castle and the museum by cycle (I had cycled from Imabari after doing the Shimanami Kaido route) . The onsen was fabulous and a big drawcard for the mainly Japanese tourists. The hotel staff were professional and courteous, the breakfast was fine. The room was comfortable and clean with a view of the city.

I asked for a room with a view of Dōgo onsen, which I got, so it was perfect. Very good noise insulation, eventhough the street was quite loud with people and I was practically the first floor above the restaurant, I did not hear a thing when I closed the windows. Spotlessly clean. Typical japanese breakfast, really good, little bit small portion. It is very convenient location, sice you can walk to onsen in your yukata and slippers. Staff is really nice, I was also allowed an early checkin. Checkout is at 11, which is definitely better than 10, like in most other places.

The room was comfortable, well maintained and cared for. The hallways and common areas have an understated classiness, while although ageing gracefully, lose none of their charm or utility. The laundry service is exceptional; each item returns individually wrapped. And one more thing - perhaps the most important point left until last, the 24 hour concierge staff went above and beyond to ensure I was either warmly greeted or farewelled, each and every time we crossed paths. A truly wonderful rest experienced at the mid-point of my trip, literally next door to the famous Dogo Onsen.

The hotel is located right next to Dogo Onsen. Its a lovely area to walk around in with restaurants, shopping area close by. The hotel and room were nice and we had a very comfortable stay. It was also reasonably priced. Staff was good and we had no problems. Easy walk to the tram station and airport limousine.

The hotel is in a very convenient location. The staff were also very kind. It was just a short walk from the hot spring town from DOGO Onsen station. There is a hot spring in front of the hotel, and the people who took the hot spring were very kind. In particular, the staff from Taiwan was an interesting person. The grandmother who came every day was also very energetic. like that It was a natural place to meet people. I thought that the view was very good when I went upstairs. This hotel is famous for Natsume Soseki was staying. Security is very good, when you leave your valuables at the hotel, They put my valuables in a paper bag and taped it tightly and kept it for me. I think it's better to leave it in the front desk when you go to the hot spring. My family says that the breakfast was the best meal they have ever had.
