Onyado Nono Matsumoto Natural Hot Spring

The hotel was a modern facility with lots of international and Japanese tourists. Clean and efficient. We were in transit to the national park in Kamikochi, and the hotel was a good "no worries" spot on the journey. We had to deposit our shoes in lockers on arrival - my first and only experience of that on this trip. Breakfast was good although the breakfast room was somewhat crowded with some guests eating alone on a "bar"-type counter on the side. The food quality was good. The hotel is well located for night-time access to the restaurant and bar district. We had a great meal there. The next morning, we quickly walked to the Castle which was not far. It's also an easy walk to Matsumoto JR station for our trip to Kamikochi.

Beautiful hotel, very clean, traditional style with tatami on the floor you should leave your shoes when entering this may be an inconvenient for foreigners but it’s like habit when done it’s comfortable and cozy. Breakfast is one of the best tried in Japan. Very nice onsen. Room is nice and clean. Staff very kind and English speaking. Free drinks during your stay.

Great location, an easy walk from the train station, even with luggage. The hotel is very clean, but beware you do have to remove your shoes at the entrance, leave them in a locker, and walk to your room in your socks. Our room was small, but workable and very clean. The bathroom and shower were very small, but the shower pressure was fantastic, as we found in most Japan hotels. They know how to do showers right! The bed was comfortable. We walked all over Matsumoto from the hotel. It was about a 20-minute walk to Matsumoto Castle, good exercise after a long train ride. We were able to walk everywhere we went, including the miso factory for a tour and to a fantastic Neapolitan pizza restaurant for dinner, Pizza Verde Matsumoto. Onyado Nono is a great option for our one-night stay in Matsumoto. Easy walk back to the train station early the next morning.

The Japanese breakfast buffet was simply exceptional. Many traditional dishes were served, & good quality ingredients were used. If we return to Matsumoto again, we may book this hotel again only to savour its great & good Japanese breakfast spread. The other feature that we like is the onsen - balanced lighting, quality shampoo & bathing wash, & most importantly, a clean place to shower & onsen in peace.

The facilities and the service were exceptional. Very helpful and friendly staff provided necessary information and even brought luggage to the room. The natural hot springs were beyond expectations; including the guest amenities (sleep/loungewear and toiletries provided). Breakfast was on of the best breakfasts at a hotel I have ever experienced. Fresh and traditional Japanese food for anyone to enjoy. Highly recommend this place for a pleasant stay near the train station and within walking distance of several landmarks.
