Biwako Hotel ★★★★★

📍 2-40 Hamamachi, Otsu

"The views are absolutely stunning, but this hotel has quite a few downsides. First, the good points: The scenery is incredibly beautiful, and you can see Lake Biwa right from your window. The public bath isn't crowded, and the views from there are also lovely during the day. This was the hotel with the best views during our entire trip to Japan. The room itself is huge, with plenty of space for multiple suitcases. Now for the cons: 1. It's an 8-minute shuttle bus ride from Otsu Station. However, the shuttle bus is a mid-sized vehicle, and I always felt bad for the driver struggling with luggage, especially when it was full during peak hours (packed, with just enough seats for everyone). The bus's air conditioning wasn't very strong, so it got quite hot when there were a lot of people in summer. It would be great if they had a larger bus, similar to the Biwako Hotel. 2. The hotel has a very strong, unpleasant odor, almost like body odor. It lingered for several days and was really off-putting. I'm not sure if all rooms have this issue. 3. You absolutely cannot open the window at night. They should really put up a warning sign, because if you do, a swarm of small, light-seeking insects will fly in, and you won't be able to get rid of them all. On our first night, we didn't realize and didn't close the window tightly, and we were incredibly bothered by bugs all night. Even though it's an older hotel, I really hope they can address these issues."

Biwako Ryokusuitei ★★★★

📍 6 Chome-1-6 Ogoto, Otsu

"This is a Japanese onsen hotel. The service and food were great, but the rules are a bit rigid. My husband came to drop us off and was planning to leave the same evening without staying. We just wanted to chat as a family of three in our room for a bit. To our surprise, the staff told us we could only talk in the lobby. They said only the person who made the reservation could enter the room, based on how many people were booked. I offered to pay extra so my husband could rest in the room before leaving, but they still refused. Then, to ensure I didn't take my husband into the room, the staff watched us all the way as we put our luggage in, making sure he didn't enter, and then politely escorted him back to the lobby. Alright, I guess we have to follow the rules of Japanese onsen hotels."

"This is the Kyoto machiya I want to know most! I almost canceled because it was too far, but after thinking about it I decided to go and found that Otsu is a treasure~ Looking at the big lake that looks like the seaside, it’s very, very comfortable! This accommodation is very nice, nothing wrong with it, the boss is very chatty (in English) but it’s a pity that I didn’t order breakfast in advance, everyone must order it! It’s also good to eat Omi beef nearby."

Pension Lakeside

"Suitable for people who want to enjoy summer barbecues and splashing around in the water. There are no restaurants nearby, but there are no shops nearby. There are restaurants one stop away from the JR station. People who need to eat should check beforehand. The bath, toilet and washroom are shared on the first floor. The bed was comfortable, but the room was small. There is no manager on site (perhaps just behind?), so it may be good for people who value privacy. It is better to use it for a large group barbecue or similar, rather than staying as a regular hotel."

"The front desk staff was friendly and smiley. The room smelled of cigarettes, but the smell disappeared after I sprayed the provided deodorant. When I tried to take a shower, the hot water didn't come out, so it was cold until it came out. There were many outlets and an air purifier, so it was comfortable. I thought the breakfast buffet could have been a little more varied, but it was delicious."
