Biwako Hotel
4.7/596 Reviews

Biwako Hotel

Otsu|1.51km from city centre
Environment: Every room has a lake view, and the fried chicken is great! On a sunny day, the scenery is so beautiful, you can go for a walk in the garden and by the lake; during the day, there are kindergarten children playing games on the lawn by the lake; Facilities: The room is wood-colored and visually comfortable; the bed faces the lake, and it is very comfortable to get up and lie down every day to see the lake view; the hotel is equipped with a hot spring, and the hot spring also faces the lake. It is recommended to go to the outdoor hot spring at night for a more comfortable soak. . (The hotel does not provide combs and toothbrushes) Service: The service is very good. The front desk staff are very experienced and have a good attitude in helping us call taxis and carry luggage. What is impressive is that our suitcases are very heavy, but when we checked in, the waiters helped us The luggage is put in the room, which increases the favorability value; the hotel has a shuttle bus to Otsu Station, which runs every 20 minutes. It is at the same bus stop as the Prince Hotel, so don’t be confused (the bus at Lake Biwa is a minibus; the bus at Prince is a bus) car) Overall, the price/performance ratio is very high. Ctrip’s price is too beautiful to stay at Lake Bipa Hotel at 600 yuan. Great! Lake Biwa Hotel is not as new as Prince Hotel, but the service staff of the old hotel are very experienced and well-educated, and Lake Biwa Hotel has hot springs. If water sports are arranged, I think it is good to soak in the hot springs to ward off the cold; when we stayed there Most of the people in the surrounding area are Japanese; there are a lot of delicious food nearby, and they are all within walking distance. If you are not dining at the hotel, it is good to open google map and explore Otsu with your taste buds; it is very close to the Michigan, and you can arrange a ride Boat trip on the lake~

Yumotokan

Yumotokan

Otsu|8.5km from city centre
Came here with family during the Sakura season. It's easy to get to the onset hotel. After arriving at the Ogoto Onsen JR station, towards the south exit you will find a cell phone attached to a board with explanation how to use the phone to call one of the onsen hotels. After the call, their shuttle bus will then come and pick you up between 2pm to 6pm I think. The hotel staff in general are very welcoming. Our family scored a deal with their penthouse suite with private indoor and outdoor onsen. Four of us stayed in the suite and the price is only slightly more than four of us staying in 2 regular rooms. It also came with a beautiful fruit platter for you to enjoy. The suite is very spacious with 2 separate toilets. The bath area has 2 sinks, a shower stall as well as a japanese style bathing area connected to the 2 onsen baths (indoor one is a hinoki wood tub and the outdoor one is a stone one. The outdoor onsen does have a slight privacy issue as there are some residential buildings in a distance. While my mom was a bit too modest to use the outdoor one (which I am not and fully enjoyed it), she did take full advantage of the indoor private onsen. Of course the hotel also has a public onsen for the guests. In fact they have two. One in each towers. I used the one on the top floor in the morning and it was a bless seeing the sunrise while soaking in the hot onsen water. Our package also included both dinner and breakfast that were served at their private dining room. Both meals were done in kaiseki style. We were particularly impressed by their dinner. Not only was it cooked with high quality ingredients and with beautiful presentation, they did not skimp on the quantity as well. Often after eating dinner at other onsen hotel, I would not feel full and actually felt a bit hungry later at night, at Yumotokan the courses kept coming and I was completely stuffed at the end. In fact I did not finish the rice even though it was so yummy (cooked from scratch in front of us with a flamed mini-stove). All in all, a very satisfactory experience. I can recommend anyone who comes to Kyoto/Osaka and wants an excursion and experiences the traditional Japanese onsen.

Otsu|8.6km from city centre
2 In early morning, we interrupted you on a lunch course with a bath on Sunday. The location is located on the height of Yamate in Yukoto Onsen hot spring, and there is an entrance from the national route to the back street, so if you don't pay attention, you will pass by. There is a building at the top of the slope of the steep slope of the exclusive installation road. It was a car use, but when you arrive at the hotel, the staff will meet you. It was only lunch, but it was a care. Once I received tea service in the lounge, the staff here is a blonde woman, Japanese is ok. Just came up the steep slope, and the view from the lounge is very good. When I moved to the restaurant because I was called ready, only I 々 a pair in a wide space. I was wrapped in a sorry mood. The lunch you received was a Japanese dish with a small pot. I felt so much because I heard that there were many dishes that were served a little bit on a small vessel, and it was a popular course for women. However, there was an impression that the small bowl dishes had many things to make, and it was said that this area was suitable for the price. After lunch, the next bath. The black clothes male staff at the front desk gave us a guide to the public bath. The bath consists of a large inner bath and an open air surrounded by a wall, a sauna for 4~5 people, and the hot water is wet overall. I think the quality of the spring is weak alkaline spring, but it seems to be a hot water that can feel a little wet. The sauna is a general dry sauna and has a small water bath. 1 I enjoyed the bath for about an hour and was seen by several staff as well as when I came and left the hotel. It was a stay of about 3 hours in total, but it was more than meals and baths, and it was a concern for each staff. It is never a cheap inn, but considering the quality of the service, I think most of the guests are convinced and returned. I think there are few opportunities to use at the accommodation because the house is close, but I feel like staying once. Thank you.

Lake Biwa has been here before, so it is not on the lakeside, but I used this inn with a good evaluation of Cospa. There is no elevator in the building and the stairs are a bit steep. Clean Japanese modern room, Wi-Fi can be used in the room. I was happy to have a sofa chair. The bath is only an inner bath, so I also used the bath at the Yugenkan next door (600 yen for use). You will go to Yuyuankan and walk through the corridor on the lobby floor. The bath in Yuyuankan was large and very splendid and there were several types. There is a guide in the building so it is easy to understand. The garden open-air bath is a beautiful and elegant bath with waterfalls and moss. Also, from the open-air bath on the 11th floor, you can see the wonderful view of Lake Biwa overlooking 180 degrees. It was good that there was a washroom and a washroom area with a dryer in the open-air bath. The inner bath and open-air bath on the 8th floor were also large and good. I didn't enter, but there is a bath in one place later. If it is not a rainy day, I recommend using a bath in the sister house even if you pay 600 yen. Very clean bath area is also equipped with amenities, so I am especially happy for women. Well, it was dinner, but every item was delicious. The curry round fried and the scallops were especially delicious. It seemed a little unfortunate that there was no sashimi, but it was too much quantity and quality in any case. However, although it was a reasonable inn, alcohol was high in a luxury inn, and it was a little for us. The bottle of sake and shochu was from 3900 yen. If you offered 300cc of local sake at least 1000 yen, I think I tried various things (after all, I made it a shochu bottle that was not local sake). Breakfast was also a delicious Japanese food, rice, juice, etc. were Viking forms. No coffee (there was a paid coffee machine in the lobby). It is an inn with a reasonable price setting by omitting the service, but especially from the front desk male staff, I felt high hospitality. I was happy to be polite and kind.

Hotel Koo Otsuhyakucho

Otsu|1.4km from city centre
Style. Converted traditional machiyas scattered throughout town, Japanese Nordic fusion Setting. Otsu, Southern end of Lake Biwa, only 20 minutes from Kyoto by car or two stations away Explore. Otsu is a quiet languid town with lots of interesting historical buildings. I was here a week before the ”Otsu Festival”, 1 of the three major festivals in the lake country and an important intangible folk cultural property designated by the country. 2 of the 13 Hikiyamas floats were being assembled near the Hotel’s reception (Ohmiya) & it was fun to listen to the kids practice their music for the festival. Hotel Koo also offers local tours for free and really encourages guests to eat out, shop etc. to revitalize Otsu. I quite enjoyed the walk and visit to the Mitsuhashi Setsuko Museum of Art, and just strolling Otsu. Rooms. I booked the entry level room which was 32 sq meter only. They have rooms/villas that are up to 100 square meter. My small but immaculate room had no closet but a clothing rack. No slippers either and only two tea bags were provided. I was happy with the bathtub but next time I’ll book a bigger room/villa @ the hotel. The day checking in I had trouble reaching the hotel by phone. Once there, staff were nice and helpful. Refreshing chestnut parfait at checkin and free sake provided in the evening. Food & drinks. Hotel booked Kasen for me, where I had a very satisfying hyperlocal meal. Prices. Value for money @ $174 Rating. 4/5

Hotel Biwako Cerisaie

I was scheduled to stay on September 18, 22, but the typhoon No.14, which called for maximum vigilance in the news, was approaching, and when I returned to the next day of the stay, the traffic was paralyzed and I could not return home I canceled from the front desk. When I checked at the time of cancellation, I will be able to pay the cancellation fee as prescribed, and when I enter the storm area on the day of the stay, If you cancel, you will be paid for the cancellation fee on the day if you cancel it, but if you cancel it, you will be paid for the cancellation fee on the day. . Such cancellation policy may be common, but I felt that it was a cancellation policy that only considered the convenience of the hotel side without considering the convenience of the customer
Kotoyu
4.7/51 Reviews
It is a hotel located on the top of Shiga Prefecture and onsen. The building itself is old, but the room is renovated and new. The super public bath Agaryanse is available here. It is convenient because there are convenience stores and ramen shops in front of the hotel. Mineral water was also available for people. The room on the Lake Biwa side is large and the scenery is good. Depending on the plan, you can use the next day's ayakanse for free. I think it is a style that you can enjoy the ayakanse slowly and stay.

The front desk is very kind and makes me feel very relaxed. Restaurants are clustered around the station, but is the walking distance appropriate? The fork of the tram that you can see from under the window stimulates your trip.
Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel
4.5/5164 Reviews
The Prince Hotel was the most satisfying hotel in our trip to Kyoto. The hotel is located beside Lake Bipa with first-class scenery and comfortable environment. In particular, the hotel's dedicated bus pick-up service and the luggage delivery service at the Kyoto Station counter bring great convenience to guests, allowing us to arrange our itinerary as we wish. The hotel's breakfast is also very good. When you enjoy breakfast in the restaurant on the 37th and 38th floors, you can enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Biwa through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows! The only dissatisfaction is that check-in is required at 5 pm. If we arrive after 3 o'clock, if we want to check in in time, we will have to pay an additional 2,000 yen; it seems too inhumane.
