Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were practically soundproof, but too small for 2 people with luggage, albeit being larger than usual for Japan. The service was excellent overall, despite some language barriers. The location was convenient, overlooking the park and castle but a bit far from some attractions. The dining options were varied, with some positives and negatives. The facilities were adequate but could use improvements.

Staying at Matsuyama Castle grounds was truly a unique experience. The room offered a good view, and the bed was nice, even though they were a little small, reminding me of cabins on ships. The service, although staffed by individuals who may not fully understand English, was accommodating and competent. The location, while fantastic with its proximity in front of the castle of Matsuyama, required a bit of a walk to reach the castle entrance and the city's restaurants. The dining experience at the hotel was enjoyable with a good variety of Japanese and Western food options. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory during my stay.

The location was not the perfect spot, as it was a bit of a walk from the castle entrance and city center restaurants. However, being close to the park and major train stations was convenient.
