Matsue Excel Hotel Tokyu was our 5th hotel in this journey, and honestly, it set the bar pretty high.
The location was hard to beat — right opposite Matsue Station, and it could be easily reached through an underpass, which was especially helpful when travelling with big luggage or during bad weather.
One big surprise for us was the check-in experience. We arrived at the hotel at around 11.30am, fully expecting to leave our luggage and return later, but we were told that our room was already ready and we could occupy it immediately instead of waiting until the usual 3pm check-in time. It also seemed that they upgraded our booking to a Standard Double Room, which made the experience even better. Two thumbs up for this hotel.
Even though we had booked a Standard Single Room, the space genuinely surprised us. The room came with a queen bed and was more than comfortable for two of us. We were able to fully open our large suitcases without feeling cramped — something that is not always guaranteed in Japanese hotels.
The room layout was practical and well thought out, with a proper TV console and work desk with a chair, a single sofa with a small table, an air purifier, and a fridge. The TV model was a bit outdated, though it did not affect our stay.
The bathroom was also spacious, with a proper bathtub that allowed us to stretch our legs comfortably after long days out. The bed was very comfy, and they provided two pillows for each of us, which made our sleep even better.
Amenities and bottled water were provided at the lobby area, which we found convenient. We paid around SGD159 (JPY19,000) for two nights, and it was excellent value.
Overall, it was one of the best hotels in this journey, and we would gladly stay here again.

Anonymous UserThe hotel is located near Matsue station. The front desk agents were very polite and did their best to talk to me, despite my very broken Japanese. Guests are given a locker, protected by a keycard. The locker itself was good enough for me, who took only a conventional backpack and a pair of shoes, but might not be enough for those who are not traveling light like that. The bathrooms were shared and quite clean, fully furnished with amenities for showers and personal hygiene. WiFi was included and it was quite decent for general use, even when inside the shared bedroom. The bed capsule had a pillow and a blanket, lights and power outlets for phones. I had more space than I imagined, enough for me to sit on the bed. The only downside of this room type was air circulation, probably due to the hot climate that's been the standard here in Japan lately, but I think the fans could work more efficiently or the capsules could use an AC outlet. Other than that, I recommend this location and will certainly stay with them again.

The facilities, including the room, were clean and had all the basic necessities, which was great.
If I had to say something, it would have been nice if there were towels in the room to dry your hands, since if you take a towel into the bath, there will be no towels in the room.

Nicely situated in the centre of one of the two main streets in Yunotsu. I stayed in the bottom capsule which is much more spacious than the top capsule since you get space to put your belongings. Kitchen was equipped with basic condiments like soy sauce and cooking oil. There is a coin laundry facility in the adjoining building - 500 yen for wash and 100 yen per 10 mins of drying.
The only concern I had was with the check in process, which luckily for me I was informed about before by reading the reviews. Check in is at Kazeto, another hotel around 5 mins walk away from Watowa. This can be troublesome for guests arriving by foot as you’ll need to backtrack to Kazeto if mistakenly arriving at Watowa first. Staff at check in were helpful and friendly (English speaking) and provided ample information about the facilities and attractions in Yunotsu and surrounds.

I checked in in the evening, but due to construction work on the parking lot, I was redirected to a different lot. There was no explanation, so I didn't know how to get in and couldn't enter the parking lot. Also, there was no explanation when I checked in at the front desk, so I had to ask each time about whether breakfast was available, etc. The bath was also a little far away, so I went to get a ticket, but they simply told me it was across the bridge and that if I didn't know, I should look at the QR code. When I went there, I couldn't find it at all, and returned drenched in sweat without even taking a bath. I looked at the map at the front desk, but it was in a place I couldn't find without being told. One man at the front desk that night was awful, but the other man just ignored me and simply handled the paperwork. It was a terrible night. I was disappointed that even Kyoritsu had employees like that.

It's a very small place. There are few young Japanese people. They are all local middle-aged and elderly people. The hotel staff can hardly speak English, but we can communicate smoothly by gestures. It costs about 50 RMB to take a taxi from the JR station to the hotel. There is no hotel email address when booking through Ctrip. It may also be that the hotel does not have it, so we can't contact the hotel to pick us up. We can only wait for an empty car at the station. When leaving, it is much more convenient to get a free drop-off. There is a drop-off schedule in the picture. Please tell the hotel front desk in advance.

The hotel staff are very polite and will introduce tourist attractions in Songjiang. The hotel facilities need to be improved and the carpet needs to be updated. The breakfast is acceptable, including fried eggs with herring, etc.

This Showa-era business hotel is right outside Matsue Station's South Exit. The lobby is sunken, which might be a bit inconvenient for those with heavy luggage. The room facilities are quite old, there's no outlet by the bed, and power is activated by an old-fashioned key card system (or rather, a key). The large public bath on the top floor wasn't open, and the elevator is also very small. When you go out, you need to hand your key to the front desk, and when you return, you show a card with your room number to retrieve your key and meal voucher. They offer free breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is a buffet with limited options, and for dinner, you can choose between a curry set meal or a daily Japanese-style set. All in all, for just over 200 a night, including breakfast and dinner, what more could you ask for? If it doesn't mind my budget, I won't mind its age.

Except for the sense of distance of a little ”Busan wading”, everything else is quite good. JR was delayed that day. I got off Odada Station. I couldn't get a taxi and didn't find a hotel in advance. The two people walked three kilometers before arriving.
It is best to order one berth and two meals, and it is enough to eat two meals a day.
A little original animal crawls in occasionally, it is not a problem.

Because the Jr time shift was not optimistic, it was forced to stay at Yitian Station. Fortunately, this is a relatively large station, and there is a hotel next to the station. But the house is full. The house said that you can see this one, very close. Check Trip.com there is a room, hurry up and book, hurry up and check in. I was very pleasantly surprised at the first sight, a bit of a MUJI hotel in Shenzhen. There is also a hot spring bath. Better than the hotel next to my original Mizi Station. Very fashionable design hotel. An accident, I licked Yitian and licked this hotel. Surprise during the trip.
