Richmond Hotel Matsumoto
Convenient location, very walkable. No dedicated drop off points which can make loading and unloading of suitcases difficult.

Hotel Buena Vista
Incredible value. Made is feel like special guests. Two people showing us to our rooms. A shuttle driver running after us to offer a ride to the train station (we didn't know there was one). Fantastic open bar cocktail hour. Delicious breakfast buffet.

Matsumoto Hotel Kagetsu
Nice hotel we used the Japanese style room with futon and in room shower. My GF had her period so it was good she didn’t need to use the onsen. Room was nice and big and very close to Matsumoto castle. Only thing I was disappointed was parking fee. It’s far from tokyo so I assume many would drive ...
