The Hotel The Celecton Matsumoto offers a very comfortable room with a large bed. The location is perfect, right in the city center and only a few minutes’ walk from the famous Matsumoto Castle.

On the negative side, the “parking” was a big disappointment. The website mentions parking availability, but in reality, that’s not the case. The parking area is small and, when we arrived, it was occupied by local residents. This made it impossible to park for free, forcing us to look for another paid option, which was not cheap. This is especially frustrating because the number of parking spaces does not match the number of rooms.

Clean and cosy room. Good quality of breakfast. Perfect location near the castle.

Lack of hot beverages (espresso, hot milk, cocoa) at breakfast

Rooms were nice and for the amazing price, spacious. Staff were very helpful with luggage forwarding questions. The hotel has 2 laundry+drier machines. Very close to the castle.

There was always a bit of a wait at reception. Next time I'll try the auto check in machines but they were in the corner and didn't know whether i was supposed to use them!

Good location not too far from the station and close to the castle. Good breakfast.

Very expensive in comparison to what we have paid throughout our stay in Japan. We assume because it was the weekend

We enjoyed our stay. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. It is very clean and the bed was quite comfortable.

It is close to the castle but a bit far from everywhere else.

Wry good breakfast and friendly staff

Small room but standard for Japan. The window did not open and the handle was on the outside.

I think the hotel is great value for the price.

I stayed for three nights, and the lack of decent lighting in the room slightly bothered me.

Location was good, bed was comfortable, good Aircon in the summer. Amenities bar was good and complete (you can get anything like toothbrush/paste, combs, pyjamas, lotions, razors, etc), and staff were very welcoming and friendly. Showers were great! Very good water pressure, good toilet, and the bath tub was godsent on the day we spent hiking in Matsumoto and Mt Noridake (32,000 steps)! Such a nice treat to soak tired feet in hot water especially. We pretty much spent the entire day out on all days, and only slept there at night. We felt very comfortable though.

Parking lots were all spread in different small places so if you're driving, come earlier during check-in hours to snag a parking lot nearer to the hotel! Ours was a 3min walk away, which was a bit annoying if we had to carry things to and from the car. We also had to pay ¥1,000 per night of stay for the parking. Some other Celecton hotels don't charge for it and had free parking right outside the hotel building. Room rates for Matsumoto were a bit high as we booked only 3 weeks out, but I really can't complain about the amenities and service.

We booked Hotel Celecton Matsumoto at the last minute, and it turned out to be a great choice. The hotel is modern and very quiet, perfect for a restful stay. It’s within walking distance to both the city center and the Matsumoto Castle, which makes it very convenient for exploring. We had no trouble finding a parking spot just behind the hotel, which was super practical. The staff was friendly, and overall, the experience was smooth from check-in to check-out. Honestly, for the price, it’s hard to beat the value – highly recommended for a short stay in Matsumoto!

Staff professional and helpful, especially the young lady - I forgot her name- Aria, Erea, ?. who gave me restaurant suggestions. Typical excellent business hotel facilities, room good size. Windows double glazed, so street noise not an issue. nice views of the snowy mountains, if room facing west. Breakfast buffet sufficiently varied and tasty. Short walk to the Castle.

Keep in mind the location. bit of a hike to/from the main station and general restaurant/bar area (but Kita-Matsumoto station is a short walk away, that might work better for some guests with luggage?).
