    Nothing in particular

    Everything was amazing, from the mikan juice in the lobby, the Tai meishi at night, the yukata, towels, everything was just perfect, thank you. Special thanks to the young man in the lobby staff who offered to help us at night.

    Windowless bedroom and small high windows elsewhere (no view out). A bit cramped for 3 with luggage. Would be fine for 2.

    Location near Dogo onsen and providing yutaka and towels for the onsen. Three types of orange juice in the lobby. Ample car parking. Helpful staff.

    Be mentally prepared if you are coming by car - it's really a bit hard to get in there but you just need to carefully brave some very narrow streets. It would be great of the hotel could give folks a suggested route for getting in.

    I was really impressed with this hotel. It is hard to get in there to park, but otherwise, it is walking distance from most of the main attractions in town as well as public transportation. I also just adored our room - which was a tatami mat room. I felt that it was a very warm and welcoming space. I enjoyed being there and loved the overall vibe of the hotel. The staff was also VERY kind to us.

    "What is this, a room for ants?!" Shower seemed a bit old and dirty, and the whole space seemed a little dingy and claustrophobic.

    It's difficult for me to come up with a rating for this place. It felt to me like Yaya was a former business hotel that was bought out and renovated to try and become something a bit more upscale... The room is absolutely tiny and if you have large luggage you will have difficulty placing and opening it inside. The window was small and frosted, making the space feel even more cramped. The shower seemed a bit dirty and old, but I think the intention here is that you're going to go bathe at Dogo Onsen. But whatever was lacking in the room was made up in the amenities -- the mikan juice on tap was a nice feature and we certainly drank our money's worth over the time we stayed here, and the breakfast buffet was excellent, with far more choices than I expected. You have a whole salad bar, hot food made to order, curries, hamburg, breads, soups, fish, fresh orange juice, coffee, etc etc etc. So, if you're staying in Matsuyama to visit Dogo and that's it, this place is a great place to be for a night. If you're visiting for a few days, I would go elsewhere, or see if they have larger rooms available.

    Discounted tickets to Dogo Onsen, which is only a few minutes walk from the hotel. Towel bar and orange on tap in the reception. Amenities bar includes face masks and mouthwash. Free supper of rice with dashi. Very clean hotel. You are required to remove your shoes before entering the room. Love the depth of the bathtub in the room.

    The room was lovely with comfortable mattresess but it was very small.

    DogoYaya was excellently located walking distance to the two main onsens in town. There is a delightful shopping strip which includes lovely restaurants nearby and heaps of parking on site if you are driving. The hotel itself had great staff who did their very best to speak to us in English. The have a nice resting space in the lobby where you can have tea and coffee and free champaign during happy hour on the evening. They also provided yukatas complete with tabi socks and shows for us all to wear when we went to the onsen.

    I hope the kimono set was overlapping better. It's very pretty but we couldn't wear them because they would split when we walked and showed our legs.

    Very nice accommodation closed to Dogo Onsen. Very good breakfast and plenty of orange juice.

    the room was smaller than I expected but we just slept for 2 nights and most of time was we were out so that was enough! about the shower, it was more simple and easy one compared to Onsen- Yado(Japanese traditional style hotel)but most of guests who use this hotel take a bath at Dogo-Onsen and we olso did so that is also not a problem.

    All the staff were amazing! We went to earlier cuz we wanted put our lagguage and they were so kind to us.Even if we din't checked-in on that they told us that we can have free orange juice. and you can have choose Towel every time you go Dogo-onsen to use it! So you can try which IMABARI TOWEL you like! that was amazing!

    Our first night we had no neighbors so it was an absolutely perfect night of sleeping. The second night, the neighbors checked in at 11:30 pm. They made terrible noise through the wall even when speaking normally. Unfortunately their bathroom was next to our bed such that every time they would flush the toilet or run water it wakes you up, loud!

    Fabulous location just a few minutes walking to onsens and shotengai, smoke free, great staff, perfect choice of breakfast selections, very nice beds, standard twin room includes toilet and shower and is not at all too small of a room. But the catch is if you have anyone in the room next to you…

    The air conditioning doesn’t work properly, so in my room (606) the air conditioner and humidifier had to be on if not the quality of the air was so poor without. And it was really loud.

    It’s so central. And easy to navigate around. The staff is amazing and the breakfast is really good, you should try the toast and honey tea! The double room is big enough for one person :) (but really small)
