Pensions in Suwa District

"I'm sorry to say that this experience was not at all what we expected. The lobby is beautiful, however the rooms show signs of significant deterioration (water damage). The bathrooms are old and use water from the hotspring - though commendable from an eco perspective this means smelly showers (sulfur) which is an unpleasant experience. The staff were very kind, however training needs improvement as the service was disjointed and awkward. Last but not least our "balcony" room overlooked the roadway and several dilapidated buildings used for staff parking. I can deeply appreciate the historical significance of the location, however the facilities are not worth the price and require significant investment to bring them up to standard. "

"Clean"

"Great location! Excelent condition and breakfast!"

"It was our fourth time at the hotel and the buffet always surprises us with new items on the menu. Everything was on point. "

"Nice room and love the natural hot spring"

"It looks more modern than the current picture on Expedia. The single room has lots of space, very close to the station, convenient. They provided everything you need, bath salts, even PJs ! Would definitely recommend and go back again."

"Room was cleaned everyday. The facilities were a bit old. Great location, close to the station"

"Richmond Hotel Matsumoto was a wonderful surprise. As a budget-friendly business hotel, we weren’t expecting much—but it turned out to be far nicer than anticipated. The room was spotlessly clean, with a comfortable queen bed and a divan-style sofa that made for a perfect little reading nook. The breakfast buffet was simple but satisfying, with enough variety to suit even a finicky Western palate. Its location is excellent—convenient to the train station, restaurants, and shopping—making it an easy base for exploring. Matsumoto itself is a lovely city that feels a bit under the radar for international travellers, yet it offers so much charm. It’s also an ideal staging point for trips into the Japanese Alps or the Kiso Valley. All in all, a great option if you’re looking for something budget-friendly without feeling bare bones."

"Very friendly. Very comfortable. "
