Yuzanso ★★★★

📍 1-chōme-9-28 Ogoto, Otsu

"Overall a fantastic Ryokan experience! Great friendly staff who were kind and helpful! Very clean. Not many options for lunch / dinner if you don’t pre book. Nearest shops/ restaurants are 20 min walk away. We paid extra for the hot spring and it was well worth it! Just gorgeous views."

J-Hoppers Lake Biwa Guesthouse ★★★

📍 931-1 Kitahira, Otsu

"This was not the best capsule room I booked. But this guesthouse has their own kitchen so you can cook and barbecue and washing machine. Good view from the lake.It also have a hot bath. Mr. H**aru is so approachable. As a solo traveler, I felt I had left a friend there. From my 4-day solo trip I am glad I went there on my last day. I will come back there. 👍"

Le Lac Hotel Otsu Ishiyama
8.4 (41 reviews)

Le Lac Hotel Otsu Ishiyama ★★★

📍 9-21 Awazucho, Otsu

"The room facilities were a bit old, but the hygiene was still very clean and tidy. We got a free room upgrade from a double to a triple. The hotel is close to the station, which makes getting around very convenient. Overall, it was pretty good."

Ofuro Café New Biwako Hotel
8.3 (18 reviews)

Ofuro Café New Biwako Hotel ★★

📍 1-chōme-9-18 Tsukinowa, Otsu

"I traveled from Fukui and checked in late at night. The hot spring itself was good, but I only had about 30 minutes to soak in it, so I wish I had come earlier. It would have been even better if there had been a special offer to enter at a discount after checking out the next day."

Biwako Grand Hotel Kyo-Ohmi
8.8 (45 reviews)

Biwako Grand Hotel Kyo-Ohmi ★★★★★

📍 6 Chome-5-1 Ogoto, Otsu

"This hotel is located near Lake Biwa, offering absolutely stunning views. Inside, there are two large public bath areas for both men and women, each featuring both an outdoor and an indoor bath. Private onsens are also available for guests to rent. The breakfast buffet offers a fantastic variety of dishes, and the taste is excellent. The hotel is exceptionally clean and tidy, and there's a large Lawson convenience store right inside, which is incredibly convenient for guests. They also provide a thoughtful complimentary shuttle bus service to and from the JR station. This hotel offers great value for money and is definitely highly recommended."

Maikoya ★★
"The location is truly amazing, you definitely have to take a walk by the lake during the day! It comes with hot water, a fridge, and a microwave, so you can buy some food and heat it up. It's a simple, no-frills guesthouse with the vibe of an old Japanese-style house. Even though we couldn't understand each other well, the lady boss was genuinely very polite and welcoming."

Ogoto Onsen Yunoyado Komolebi ★★★
"I doubted there was a hot spring until I stayed there. It was the best hot spring at the end of my trip around Lake Biwa. I thought the bedding was dirty because it was old. I was very satisfied with the hot spring and the food.^_^"

"The ryokan is not very traditional. The personnel speak some English but they try their best. The kaiseki dinner and breakfast were very good although not the best we had. Nice cypress bath tub in the room."

Le Lac Hotel Otsu Ishiyama ★★★
"well, i mistakenly choose the smoking room which made me feel very uncomfortable whole night. It's my fault, I don't blame, but the ventilation is sooooo bad that I could always smell the smoking from my next-door neighbor. Others were ok. If you don't mind it's a bit old and you would just stay for a night, this is a good choice."

Ofuro Café New Biwako Hotel ★★
"Please note that rooms without baths do not also have toilets. The hotel itself is old, but we were able to enjoy the hot springs and magazines at the bath cafe next door until midnight, so we were able to spend a fulfilling time there. Breakfast was also delicious."

Biwako Grand Hotel Kyo-Ohmi ★★★★★
"It's been a while since I stayed in such a large hotel. There's not much around, so the Lawson convenience store inside the hotel was a lifesaver. Just be aware that it closes early. The hot spring was nice, but it's a shame that even though it's by Lake Biwa, the open-air bath doesn't offer a great view. The breakfast had everything, it was truly wonderful. The staff were also very attentive and polite."
