Hotel Buena Vista far exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning I was greeted right away and checked in with ease. My room was not huge but for just me (or a couple), it was perfect. Breakfast was perfect and I loved that they had both western style breakfast as well as Japanese. Location is right at the heart of Matsumoto and maybe a 8-10 minute walk from Matsumoto station. I did not know how to get the shuttle upon arrival but when I checked out, the shuttle drove me and my bag right to the station. On my second day, I asked about the best way to get to Snow Monkey park and was given detailed step by step instructions which all worked out perfectly. Huge thank you to the staff for the amazing stay and working with me through my limited Japanese language skills. I will most certainly be back!

Oliveto United States of America

Location was convenient. It’s a quiet area but still within walking distance to the train/bus stations and most sights. Small but lovely bar on the top floor has a nice view. Friendly and helpful staff.

Tamara United States of America

The breakfast was superb. There were many recipes to choose from. Excellent!

Marlyn Japan

We did not go to the breakfast buffet. We had a pastry and coffee in the lounge which was fine.

Kathleen United States of America

The staff was great. We had access to the executive lounge and we made good use of the snacks and drinks throughout the day. Really lovely property.

Ralph United States of America

The breakfast was very good. Staff very helpful. Shuttle to station very kind and efficient.

ולרי Israel

Located several blocks south of the train and bus stations, transportation is simple because of the shuttle bus that constantly circulates between the hotel and the stations. I never had to wait more than five minutes for a bus to come along. The staff is fantastic, the hotel itself is classic, and the room (I had a superior single) was good sized. I had a very good stay.

Logan United States of America

The breakfast location was good. The staff was friendly and had good situation awareness.

Lim Singapore

Staff was too good, very helpful and kind. Also cared to arrange special sweet at breakfast for my wife’s birthday 😊

Anonymous Japan

An upscale hotel, albeit an older hotel. The hotel offers a luxurious lounge, restaurant and lobby in addition to its other pleasing features. The staff at the front desk were warm and courteous. The double room was spacious and the bed comfortable. Though I reserved a room for one, the bed came prepared with two soft pillows, which was very nice. There are other amenities and services, some free, and I’d like to stay here again in the future so that I can enjoy these.
