Guest House Ichiyama Shukuba

It is close to Matsumoto station. The room looks like a storage space converted to hostel dorms. The female dorms only has 4 beds and they are split by partition. Clean bathroom and toilet. There is a lounge area with kitchen.

The mattress is quite thin so it was quite uncomfortable to sleep. When i key in the name in google map, it took me to the other end of the street. Be sure to follow the direction from booking.com app. The hostel is located above a restaurant. You will need to go into the restaurant and take the lift on the right hand side, immediate after the entrance, in order to get to reception.

There are no beds, there is a futon in a large room.

The location

Staff was really nice. We told the resturant staff on the first floor we wanted to check in (Check in office was on the second floor and no one was waiting there for us). One staff member rushed upstairs, apologised profusely and we checked in without a hiccup. He walked us all the way to the room, showed us where everything was and how to use the utilities. Very wonderful guy. 10 minute walk from matsumoto castle and 5 minutes from frog street. 5 minutes from Matsumoto train station and bus terminal. Close to lots of resturants too

Photos show exactly what you get. It's nothing fancy. Walls are cracked and plaster is broken. But, it doesn't really matter. The beds were very comfortable and the room really only operated as a cozy nook in between bouts of exploration and food runs.

Well located, quiet, clean.

Nothing really. Good value for money but not more.
