Lock in a great price for Buena Vista – rated 8.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

Great location! Gopod Hotel ambience and staff are very friendly and helpful. Bonus... shuttle service comes in so handy espeically after a tiring day out

Winnie, Singapore

Great value and service. Excellent base for exploring the region. Executive lounge access.

Mg, Australia

The staff were friendly and even when the shuttle to the train station was not going to arrive for me to make my train after waiting the porter grabbed the keys to the bus and personally drove me there and even though I missed the train by a few minutes she tried to get me there

Earl, United Kingdom

Great location, just a walk away from the center of the town and train station. And also close to the hospital which as just 10 minutes’ walk away. Excellent hotel staff and service.

Jennifer, Singapore

Comfortable stay. Excellent services all round. Staff go out of their way to please us. They quickly change rooms for us when we complaint about sigarett smell in the room. Bonus- Excellent view from breakfast room on 14th floor. Parking is very convenient and easy to access. Best stay in town.

Kousouma, Australia

Buena Vista is located very close to the train station and the hotel has a shuttle service that picked us up. The view from the top floor of the hotel (where the French restaurant/Breakfast and the Bar are located) was wonderful with a brilliant view of the Cherry Blossom hill. Most attractions are located within walking distance of the hotel with the Matsumoto Castle a definite highlight of the trip. The room was small, but clean and comfortable. The hotel was well priced for what it offered.

Offering beautiful views of the Japan Alps from its top-floor French restaurant, Buena Vista is located in the heart of the city. It features 5 restaurants, a beauty salon and bright rooms with free WiFi throughout the entire property. The nearest station is only a 7-minute walk away, and the property's shuttle bus service from Matsumoto Station can bring guests to the property in 2-minutes.

Decorated in light natural tones, the spacious rooms come with a seating area, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a mini-bar.

Guests at Vista Buena can get refreshed with a massage treatment, or rent a bicycle to explore the city. The hotel’s shop offers tourist magazines and souvenirs, as well as fresh breads and pastries.

Fresh croissants from its own bakery are part of the breakfast buffet at restaurant Sorpresa. Japanese specialties are served at Fukashiro, while a Western lunch or dinner buffet can be enjoyed at La Cafe Terraza. Local ingredients are served at the property's restaurants.

Buena Vista is just a 3-minute walk from the bus terminal where buses depart for Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya and Takayama. The historic Matsumoto Castle is a 15-minute walk away.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.5 for a two-person trip.

Good thing is it’s close to the train station but the downside was you can hear the train passing by. The other thing was that there wasn’t any phone directory for in house dialling eg I couldn’t find a number for the reception, when the in-room safe latch was locked. I had to go down to the reception in person.
Very nice Morden hotel. Friendly staff. I got the room with lounge access for the same price on promotion. The lounge serves afternoon tea and alcohol with nibbles at night. There are four restaurants in the hotel. Unfortunately the Japanese restaurant was closed on Monday when I was there.

Not the friendliest staff, at breakfast they insisted we don't sit in one section by the window that had empty tables but upon questioning them they let us sit. At check-in we we arrived at 1:30pm and were told before even they had checked on their computer that checkin time was at 2pm. We had to request for an early check-in and then he went through his computer to check if there were any rooms ready and luckily there was one. Both these cases could have been done in a more friendlier manner which we have come to expect in Japan and at other hotels.
Great views, location was good, close enough to the castle and town.

The door to the bathroom which opens inwards. it would have been difficult to rescue a person who might have fallen and was unable to get up. Potentially dangerous.
Great location, just a walk away from the center of the town and train station. And also close to the hospital which as just 10 minutes’ walk away. Excellent hotel staff and service.

Breakfast was a bit limited and although it didn't happen to us, I did see a very long queue of people waiting to be seated for breakfast. Large tour groups use this hotel so this may have been the reason. Although the food at the Japanese restaurant was very nice, the ambience was bland.
Buena Vista is located very close to the train station and the hotel has a shuttle service that picked us up. The view from the top floor of the hotel (where the French restaurant/Breakfast and the Bar are located) was wonderful with a brilliant view of the Cherry Blossom hill.
