Romantic Hotels in Matsuyama

The location of the hotel is just amazing. Right next to Okaido station and a beautiful shopping street, full of shops and restaurants. The ropeway to Matsuyama castle is also a short walk away. The hotel is stylish, the staff were really helpful and the ofuro is a nice bonus.

Location is great and clean. I like the drip coffee, taste good.

Nice hotel next to the park. We had a room with a good view.

Right across the street from the Onsen. Room was nice and clean

The massage chair in the room and the big bath outside

The presentation of the property was immaculate. The room and furnishings were spotless, the onsen and sky bar were very special. The kaiseki meals served were exceptional and a credit to the chef's skill and creativity. Ehime cuisine and local ingredients were front and centre. Highly recommended. The property is also literally adjacent to the Dogo Onsen. Fantastic location.

I would rate Funaya an 11 if I could. I have stayed in some nice onsen ryokans before but this place is next level in every aspect. Everything about my stay here made me say "wow". The visual aesthetic and atmosphere of the building is super charming, a bit dated some might say but to me it just spoke to the long history of the place. The staff are friendly, helpful, and the service was impeccable. I found that their manner was a little more human than other high end ryokans I've stayed at where the staff can be a bit robotic sticking to their script all the time. Our room was massive, literally the biggest ryokan room I've ever seen. 12 tatami mats for the main room, another 8 off to the side in another room - plus the sitting alcove by the window, meditation/writing room, not to mention the bathroom with double sink, separate adjoining washroom with wooden Japanese bathtub, a separate toilet, and a substantial hallway linking it all up. Oh, that was just the "standard Japanese style room" too. We also had a nice little balcony with a view of the garden and the castle in the distance. The garden is a real highlight, beautiful, tranquil, there's even a foot bath. I really wish we'd been able to spend more time in it but it rained the day we were there. Meals were fantastic. Set kaiseki for dinner, which I don't normally like, but my partner and I just swapped things we didn't like and we were able to really enjoy it. Breakfast we had the choice of western or Japanese style - we had one of each and both were great. Nice not to have to deal with cold food at the buffet for a change. The actual baths are top notch, probably equal best I've used. Lots of space to wash, a couple of separate baths for soaking, and outdoor baths as well to cool off on the night air. Water temperature was perfect. We were able to leave our car with them for a bit after checking out to go for one last wander in Dogo.

Big room. Very spacious and value for money. But do note that is good only if you drive. There is basically nothing around the hotel. Breakfast was a big portion.

This was such a great place to stay, the room was cozy and there were many extra items available to borrow, like soap for the onsen. The owner was super friendly too. I loved walking around in the neighbourhood and how conveniently close it was to the famous onsens. Defiantly worth the price.
