Since it's being used for touring you could set it up for a more aero stretched-out position with lowered bars and perhaps it would still fit okay. With a frame on the too-big side you might have difficultly getting the bar low enough for a roadie position. I am biased towards a roadie position even on my mtb but I'm pretty tall and thin so that works for me.
You can check out the photo of my bike here:

As you said, frame looks like a mountain bike frame but I don't know if it is really intended to be used with 26" wheels. When I check out the photos of hybrid bikes I see similar frames with mine.
