Kur and Hotel Shinshu

Since it was the weekend, places around Matsumoto Station were expensive!!I searched for somewhere cheaper even if it was a bit farther away, and this place came up.It was my first time, so the front desk staff explained things to me, but they spoke a bit fast and there were parts I didn’t quite understand.I didn’t eat inside the building—I bought food outside and ate in my Room.There’s a supermarket within walking distance.If you go late, some items are half price, and bottled drinks were cheap too.The baths... there were so many different kinds.After coming down from a hike, I was able to relax and take my time.They also lend out shampoo and other toiletries.However... the lockers for guests are small.The Room has a bed and desk, a TV, and a toilet.

This was my first time staying here.Baths: There were many types of tubs and saunas.Meals: We ate in the large hall; there was a wide menu selection, service was quick, and everything was delicious.Room: It was a clean Hotel. The air conditioning is centrally controlled, so you can’t fine-tune the temperature—something to note if that bothers you.Staff: Everyone was courteous and helpful.If I had to be picky…1) Ordering meals in the large hall can feel a bit inconvenient for some people. A smartphone and LINE are required. After selecting one item, the screen returns to the home page, so you have to choose again from the categories. It could be tough with a larger group.2) The lockers for overnight guests in the bath area are quite small, and their location is tucked away, which made them inconvenient to use.I really liked how relaxed it felt as a Hotel attached to a health spa—easygoing without being too formal. I’d love to visit again.
