Dogo Miyu

Wonderful stay and love the in-room onsen

Reviewed By Lunasolhk

We stayed for a night and dinner in here and love it totally. The location is great, just a few mins walk from the Dogo Onsen, Dogo Station and the nearby shopping area/restaurants. They also offer onsite parking. Staff are friendly and speak okay English and fluent mandarin. They do not have a lot of rooms but every room is very spacious and all rooms have in-room onsen. The dinner is very delicious too. Although it's a bit pricey, we really enjoy our stay.

Good mix of Japanese and Western

Reviewed By Marjo1187

The visit started with a disappointment, the main reason for selecting this hotel was the rooms with a balcony facing the garden. When we arrived we did get a room with a balcony, however facing the busy road next to the garden. When complaining we got moved one room closer to the garden, with a view of the garden but still could hear and see the road. The room is a combination of western, beds, and Japanese, the tatami sitting area. Quite spacious, good size bathroom and seperate toilet. Breakfast has choice of Japanese or western, both come as a set menu, which were good. One night we opted for the japanes kaiseki diner, an elaborate selection of japanese dishes. Very good quality, which comes at a price. Service is top notch. Location is just around the corner from the onsen, and there is a tram stop close by.

Open onsen

Reviewed By Robert I

Nice, clean, relaxing hotel right across Dogo Onsen and shopping area. Great location. Onsen on roof was great place to relax, both day and night. Rooms were average size but very comfortable and food in restaurant was outstanding. Loved the specialty onigiri. Wrapped and ready to go.

Reviewed By Disignas

It was my first time travel to Dogo, although I visited Japan more than 30 times. I reserved a non-smoking room at Dogokan for 3 days in Nov, 2019. On the evening of the second day, I smelt secondhand smoke, I asked the reception is it a NON-Smoking floor, they said IT IS a SMOKING floor, but MY ROOM is NON-smoking. I asked if they have non-smoking floor, they said yes. They did nothing to solve this issue, and I suffered secondhand smoke for more than 12 hours. I think it is ridiculous in Japan, not a "Japanese service" anymore.

Not bad hotel can enjoy the hot springs enough

Reviewed By MrJackFrost

道後温泉駅から徒歩5分程度の距離にあり、建物は若干年季が入っているが、一部リノベーションが入っており気にはならない程度。 部屋は和室で広く、昔の日本のホテルといった印象。大浴場は広く、コロナの影響か入浴している宿泊客がいなくて独り占めできた。朝食も松山特産の料理も使われ、かなり満足。 It is about a 5-minute walk from Dogo Onsen Station, and the building is a little old, but it has been partially renovated so it doesn't matter. The room is Japanese-style and spacious, giving the impression of an old Japanese hotel style. The large communal bath was large, and I was able to monopolize it because there were no guests taking a bath due to the influence of the corona, perhaps. Breakfast is Matsuyama's specialty dishes are used, and I am quite satisfied.

航空券とのお安めのパッケージで利用しましたが、バスタブに髪の毛、バスルーム天井カビ、シャワーカーテンにもカビ。ベッドのヘッドボードには綿ぼこり蓄積。他の好意的なレビューが信じられない。 部屋のグレードによって清掃にも差をつけているのでしょうか? 節約した自分が悪かったのかもしれませんが、今後滞在することはないですね。 Just stayed one night. In-room bathroom was in terrible condition. Bed was also dusty. Far below average. Avoid!

Dogo Saichoraku

Refurbished rooms and good onsen

Reviewed By aichii

This is one of the nicer Yukai resort properties. There is a shuttle service every 30 minutes from in front of the Dogo Onsen station (behind the taxis) and it also stops at the side of the Dogo Onsen Honkan building. Staff were very friendly.Room was recently refurbished with a mirrored bamboo feature to make the room seem much larger (and make up for the lack of a proper window which is fine for a one night stay if you are not claustrophobic!) The indoor hot spring baths was large and clean and there was also a small outside bath and sauna which were very nice.The baths were available until 11am. The selection of food was good and the staff even put on a mochi making demonstration to introduce local foods.Also the English signage in the restaurant was much better than in other Yukai resort properties I have stayed in the past. All in all great value for money as always.Ask for a room with a full window and a view.

Auberge Dogo

Perfectly located in historical area of Matsuyama

Reviewed By cocuye

Located just a stone's throw from Dogo Onsen, this hotel is just far enough from the hustle and bustle of the historic centre. The room is on the cosy side so may feel a little cramped if you have large suitcases. Japanese style breakfast is sumptuous and the service in general was great.

Good Hotel at reasonable price

Reviewed By bkpkwok

Hotel was located behind Dogo Onsen and there were two blocks of building, we got to stay at the old wing (lower block), spacious Japanese room with mountain view in separate sitting area. They had onsen facilities in both buildings and guests were allowed to use both + one-time entry ticket for Dogo Onsen (which was within 3 mins. walking distance). Our dinner and breakfast were served in the same dining hall, traditional Japanese food with nice presentation. Food was average. Paid parking was available on site.
