The Celecton Matsumoto

I think the hotel is great value for the price.

Good location, 10min walk from train station, 5mins walk to castle, 10mins walk to shops along Nakamachi and Nawate streets. 7/11 5mins walk. We stayed on the top floor, our room was clean, quiet, had a window that could open, aircon, comfy bed, good shower, mini fridge. View of mountains was lovely from window. Staff were friendly. Microwave and drinks vending machine on ground floor. 300Y washing machines. Hotel is new. We didn’t choose the breakfast option.

No reply regarding guests enquiries on booking.com hotel room requests. Only replied regarding car parking facilities. Greeted by a helpful staff, Mr Billah who is very patient to explain checkin information and car park lots to us. Room is superbly clean and new. Room interior design is mainly wood and has a homely feel. Spacious for 4 adults. Superior Twin sharing bed has 2 double bed (slightly smaller than a Queen bed, may be more suitable for small size Asians) and a sofa bed. The room is 28 sqm. It has a beautiful Matsumoto ball (Temari ) encased in a piece glass. The bathroom is nice, clean and spacious, like a mini Osen bath. A separate room with door for toilet, a bathroom (shower area with stool, a bathtub). A notice indicated that the door needs to be closed when bathing as steam will activate the fire alarm. The sink has a full glass mirror and lighting is perfect for makeup. It even has a vanity stool for make up like in an onsen. It has an automated sensor tap. There’s a humidifier and air freshener. Room comes with complimentary use of UCC coffee/earl grey/green tea pods machine in the room. We were given coffee & earl grey pods. Daily bottled drinking water.

We were so lucky to have a room with a view of Matsumoto Castle. The hotel is within easy walking distance of Matsumoto train station, Matsumoto Castle, and Nawate shopping street making it great for getting around. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a good variety of food so whether you prefer Western or Japanese style breakfast you should be able to find something. I was also able to enjoy the communal bath facilities and would recommend trying them out.

The place was comfortable and worth the money. The room was clean with necessary amenities.
