Small double rooms are VERY small, would recommend a larger room for 2 people. Would have been lovely to have a bar on a high floor to enjoy the amazing views that the hotel name suggests it has.

Short walk from train station. Clean, helpful staff.

No pool or traditional bath at the hotel, cafeteria close very early

Good location, walking distance from the train station and taxi service available at all time, nice room, great breakfast with a lot of choices and a very helpful staff.

Beautiful decor, large rooms for Asia, great staff!

This is a wonderful property with exceptional staff. Wonderful amenities with sell of tickets to the castle and to Kamikochi, with free rides to the train station, although it is a very short walk. Our only complaint was that they do not have central air and we were very uncomfortable 🥵They gave us fans and with the window cracked at night, it became a little more bearable. I’m sure in the middle of winter the rooms are very comfortable as they do have heating. Not sure if they have central air that at some point in the year they switch to cooling, but this is 3rd week of April and during the day can get quite warm in Matsumoto.

Some fresh fruit would be a nice addition to the otherwise very extensive breakfast buffet.

The small executive room came with the unexpected benefit of access to the executive lounge for complimentary drinks and nibbles at cocktail hour. Our rooms (perhaps all rooms) also included an optional entirely free excursion to a very luxurious onsen hotel in the hills just outside town. Strongly recommended.

We were in a smoking room and it stank. Normally we don't mind too much, but this room absolutely reeked of smoke. As you can't open the windows far we had to prop open the door to get some cross ventilation. Also, the hotel does not have air conditioning, only heating. It was quite warm, so we needed to leave the window open. However, the room was almost hermetically sealed. Differences in air pressure (between inside and outside) resulted in the air whistling loudly through cracks around the door frame for most of the night. Parking was available, but cost Y1,100/night, which we did not realise before arriving.

Location was quite good - a bit of a walk to the railway station, castle and restaurant area. Comfortably furnished room and excellent laundry facilities. Helpful staff with pretty good English.

Staff very helpful.

The room is so dusty, probably because it had been cleaned a long time ago.

Late check out would be available with extra payment after 11am. But I guess this japanese standards like every other hotels.

They have shuttle service to onsen at their sister hotel. That was really nice. Staffs were friendly.

Rooms small, not enough space to open more than one suitcase at a time.

Excellent location - can walk from the train station in a few minutes. Friendly staff.

Nothing. Everything was fine.

Stayed in a twin room the first night. Was refurbished, modern and large. Stayed in an executive room on the 2nd night and it wasn't as good as the twin, but decent. Hotel is quiet and away from the main road. Friendly staff. Breakfast more geared toward Japanese clientele. Some self service laundry facilities available. Would stay here again.

Place is a bit old and it wasn’t the cleanest I have seen but still pretty clean! Location is close enough to station, but not super close

Staff was really nice. The breakfast was really good

Stayed in August 2023

The breakfast was a bit underwhelming. The hotel have placed a smoking area right next to the elevators.

We only spent two nights in Buena Vista hotel, but we can recommend the hotel to others. It is a clean central place to stay when you enjoy the fabulous city of Matsumoto. The hotel reception can help you buy tickets for the castle, and you shouldn’t cheat yourself from experiencing that gorgeous site when you are there. The employees are exceptional service minded and positive towards you.

If you want to park a car there is a paid parking lot next to the hotel and 7/11. As opposed to the hotel's own parking which is more expensive and further down the road

Everything is perfect except there is no hook to hang clothes in the toilet

We stayed 3 nights on the executive floor with access to the lounge that provides light refreshment and drinks. Our room is spacious, comfortable, and very clean. Breakfast spread was very good. Excellent service from all staff in the hotel.

No free parking, although public parking is available nearby.

Location was close to the train station. Breakfast spread was good. Just that the hotel didn't have its own hot bath. Guests had to make reservation for an external facility, which is a hassle if you don't plan in advance.

Not sure, we only stayed one night and didn't have any issues.

Large high-end hotel with clean rooms in a location convenient to the train station.
