Hotels near Diamond Cross in Matsuyama

The front desk was really helpful, even preparing a map to introduce us to food spots around the hotel! Despite the language barrier, they also managed to solve the payment error for us (thank you!!) It is a bit of a walk from the JR station but it is right next to the tram station.

The location is excellent, very close to the JR station, making it super convenient. While the room was a bit on the small side, it was impeccably clean. A really nice touch was the self-service amenity bar on the second floor, offering a wide variety of toiletries. Very thoughtful!

The hotel is clean and tidy. For self-check-in, staff are available to assist. You can pick up skincare products and toothbrushes at the front desk on the 2nd floor. Guests can enjoy the hotel's hot spring for free. It's very convenient for shopping, with Takashimaya right next door and two convenience stores downstairs. Transportation is incredibly convenient. Please note, it's right next to Matsuyama-shi Station (not JR Matsuyama Station). If you need to go to JR Matsuyama Station, there's a tram stop downstairs that also provides direct access to Okaido, the Matsuyama Castle Ropeway, Dogo Onsen, and more. From Iyo-Tetsu Matsuyama-shi Station, where the hotel is located, you can also directly reach Baishinji Temple, a popular spot for fans of 'Tokyo Love Story.' Additionally, there's a highway bus terminal nearby, offering more economical travel to places like Takamatsu, Tokushima, and Osaka compared to taking the train, just for your reference. The buffet breakfast is indeed excellent; the five types of orange juice and the sea bream rice bowl alone make it worth it. Every afternoon until evening, welcome drinks and coffee are also available for self-service on the 2nd floor.

Good location. The hotel locates near Matsuyama City Tram Station where is also the terminal station of airport bus. Matsuyama port is just 20 minutes train ride away. One may walk up to the Matsuyama Castle from the hotel within 40 minutes. The castle tram station and the Okaido shopping area are also within walking distance. Staff were friendly with satisfactory services and amenities. However it was always crowded at breakfast time. Be reminded it's Matsuyama City Station but not the JR Matsuyama Station (JR).

Conventient location; 10 minute walk to nearest bus station, and about 30 minutes max travel time to anywhere we wanted to go! Room was clean and compact; but the double bed is quite squeezy if you're fitting two people inside. Buffet breakfast is 1300¥ if you inquire the day before you intend to eat. It is 1500¥ if you buy it on the day itself. Accidentally booked a smoking room; but the staff were kind enough to change it for us once they had a room.

This hotel is very conveniently located. It's within walking distance of the ropeway to Matsuyama Castle and very close to trams going in both directions around the city center. My wife and I would definitely stay here again; it's less congested than the Dogo Onsen area. The staff are all very kind. The bed was very comfortable.

The facilities are a bit old, but the room was very clean. The front desk staff were friendly and professional, making for a pleasant stay overall.

While the location might be a drawback, considering the cost, I thought it was a wonderful hotel. Initially, I planned to stay for one night, but I liked it so much that I extended it to six nights. I enjoyed the welcome drink of sake every day. I also appreciated the various amenities such as the drink bar (including alcohol), snacks, ramen service, and free use of the washing machine. I've stayed in many hotels both domestically and internationally, but I felt the attention to detail and thoughtful service everywhere. It's not a luxury hotel by any means, but everyone was kind and the environment was very pleasant. I will definitely stay here again when I come back to Matsuyama.

The hotel room is quite large. Although the equipment is a bit old, the transportation is convenient. There is a shopping mall opposite where you can buy fresh food and lunch boxes. The taxi ride to the station does not cost more than 1,000 yen. We stayed here and went to the next one. Watch the sunset at the beach 🌅 We also took a taxi to Dogo Onsen to soak in the hot springs. Although it is difficult to complete these attractions in one day, we took advantage of the taxi to overlook Matsuyama Castle and took photos as a souvenir. We will slowly visit Matsuyama Castle next time Play.

It is a 15-minute walk from the city center (Okaido) and a 15-minute walk from the station. It is very accessible. I am also very satisfied with the facilities. I would like to use it again next time I come to Matsuyama.
