Hotel M Matsumoto

The bedrooms are really cozy, the private toilet/shower is a big plus and the facilities are very clean private and well organized. The free rental bikes are a really fun way to discover the city (we recommend to everyone to try them). They serve tea and coffee refills throughout the day as well and they seem to have cheap and tasty meals (we didn't try them during our stay but it looked delicious).

We stayed in the ladies’ capsule section and it was excellent- aside from the capsule bed, you also get a tall locker, desk, and some floor space with a curtain so you have privacy and space. It’s really nicely done. The bathrooms were clean (little mould on the shower ceilings, but it is Japan after all and things go mouldy here quickly) and the common lounge area was open and welcoming. There were lots of amenities to use, for those who needed them, and free coffee and multiple types of tea. We didn’t use the public bath owing to small tattoos- they might want to review this, I don’t think they’ll have too many gangsters to worry about, somehow! Staff were very kind, all spoke English (even when I started in Japanese) and overall it was a great experience.

What a great surprise. Excellent location, few minutes walk from both bus n train station. We could store all our luggage before check in with ease n come back later. Bedrooms were surprisingly big for a Japanese budget hotel. Enough space even for our snowboard bags. Note that im talking about Japanese standards. Double bed was small but enough for me n my husband ( we are not super big n tall). Everything worked fine and they also have free bikes for rental which is very convenient.

This was an awesome base for exploring Nagano area! Super close to the train and bus (easy walk to both), plenty of nearby restaurants and convenience stores. The highlight was the free bike rentals, which are available first come first serve, for 3 hours per person per day. The receptionist did not speak English but was very patient with Google translate and generous with an extra pillow. Hotel was quiet and clean. Beds were firm, but our room was far bigger than in Tokyo!

Hotel was incredibly clean. Capsules were nicer than I was expecting and the bathrooms had all the toiletrees one needs - they even provide loungewear. Free bike rental for 3 hours was a great way to quickly explore Matsumoto. Location was convinient and it was helpful that the desk was open quite late.
