Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel ★★★★★
Scenic lakeside rooms with panoramic views of Lake Biwa, pools, kid-friendly activities and easy access to the attractions of Otsu.
Inase Otsu Machiya Bed and Breakfast ★★
"The small town of Otsu is a place I really love. It's quiet, not crowded with tourists, and right next to Lake Biwa. The tea room in the common area is beautiful, with a small garden, and the public bathroom is very clean. The only downside is that the all-wooden townhouses have almost no sound insulation, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who have trouble sleeping."
Yuzanso ★★★★
"Executive Ocean View Western-Style Room"
Biwako Ryokusuitei ★★★★
"Very good service. Nice and quiet place. Food was really good too. Love to stay with family next time. Also the air bath was amazing, you can look at the view. The greatest time ever at this hotel. Thank you so much!"
Yumotokan ★★★★
"Friendly , nice and helpful staff. Food is good. Will back again next time."
Smile Hotel Otsu Seta ★★★
"This hotel is super convenient, just 50 meters from the Seta Station exit on the Biwako Line, making it incredibly easy to get around by car or train. While the hotel is a bit older, it's well-maintained. The views from the window are expansive, the price is reasonable, and breakfast is also available."
Biwako Hotel ★★★★★
"Facilities: A bit old-fashioned but very clean and well-maintained. Cleanliness: Very clean, even cleaner than Mitsui. Environment: Having a balcony is amazing! The air is fresh, the scenery is unbeatable, and taking a walk by the lake during the day is simply blissful. Service: The staff are mostly Japanese and don't speak English, but check-out was super fast and the shuttle bus was very punctual. I hope to have the opportunity to return to this hotel again in the future. It has a large room, a balcony, is very quiet with few people, and the environment is exceptionally beautiful."
Toyoko Inn Kyoto Biwako Otsu ★★★
"The old couple traveled independently, and the hotel provided breakfast, which was rich and delicious. It was very close to the lake!"
Hotel Tetora Otsu Kyoto ★★★
"Convenient for getting around; otherwise, everything was fine."
Explore Accommodation Types in Otsu
View Lodge Biwa
"Booked this stay to explore the areas around Lake Biwa. Reception was warm and friendly with an English-speaking host who provided us with the information for the stay. We booked the western style room as we preferred an attached bathroom, however the room condition was outdated and needs refurbishment, like peeling surfaces. The Japanese style room looked better when we caught a glimpse during check-out time. Nevertheless, location and amenities were great. Location is near major eateries and commercial centres by a short drive."
BIWAKO HANAKAIDO
"I'm grateful that they prepared a vegan menu. It was fun."
Iza Oumimaiko
"Even with eight people inside, there was plenty of space, and we really felt close to nature."
Ayaha Lakeside Hotel
"It's a shame that there is no internet connection in every room."
SUPER HOTEL Otsu Station
"This is my first time to stay in this super hotel. The hotel is very close to the station and easy to access. The room is big enough for one person and I really like to the big square table in my room. The service is nice and you can select your own pillow. Free soft drink is available in certain period. The variety of the breakfast is not much as other hotel I stayed before. However, the breakfast is good enough for me since it offers the food style I like most - salad, Japanese style egg, different kinds of cooked vegetables, and miso soup. I plan to stay in the same hotel next time."
Biwa-Lakeside Cottage B B Dylan
"The hotel owner was incredibly warm and friendly. The rooms were impeccably clean, and enjoying breakfast over Lake Biwa was a truly special experience. The hotel bathroom had a heated bathtub – a very luxurious experience. I highly recommend it! 😍"
APA Hotel Biwako Seta Ekimae
"Very close to the seta station and it worth the price."
Hotel Koo Otsuhyakucho
"Best: design, facilities, privacy Staying at Hotel Koo’s KOUJIYA was such a treat! The place is like a dream – elegant, cozy, and those designer furniture pieces are everything. The lighting? Super hygge, giving off the warmest vibes. This Machiya suite is a total surprise package. From the outside, it's low-key and so unassuming but inside, it's a luxury haven. The kitchen is a personal favorite, connected to the dining area where you can see the mini garden. Actually you can view the garden from the bedroom and bathroom too, thanks to some clever glass magic. Amazing design!! I think it’s perfect for couples/duo. It's not just a hotel; it feels like a real home, and the local vibe of the neighborhood is the cherry on top. Can't wait to be back and try out the other machiya suites."
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."
Holiday Afternoon
"Very nice. The owner is very nice and helpful. He is able to speak English. Moreover, the private Onsen room is really impressive. Hope I can go next time."
KKR Hotel Biwako
"The hotel is well located, right on the shores of Lake Biwa"
Dantokan Kikunoya
"The service attitude is excellent, and they try their best to meet the needs of me and my friends. If we bought a cake, we asked them to get the plate and knife. They will be more considerate and give their friends a surprise without letting them know. Quietly give me the plate and knife."
Ogotoso
"The soundproofing was a bit poor, and the fact that the toilet wasn't in the room was a little inconvenient, but the staff were incredibly helpful. I'd definitely come back if I had the chance. Waking up this morning to see snow falling was fantastic!"
J-Hoppers Lake Biwa Guesthouse
"Near to the beach, a 10 min walking distance from train station, Spacious room, and bike rental Service"
Hotel ab Shiga
"Ok. First of all leave your expectations at home expecting hotel level service. Once you've done that if you want a cheap but clean place to stay this is it. This is a seinenkan - a facility for youth and youth-related organizations to conduct independent study and recreational activities, many of which have basic accommodation facilities but higher grade facilities than youth hostels. They are located all over Japan. I stayed in a tatami mat room on a floor with shared toilet facilities. The ground floor has a large communal bath - obviously separate for male and females. They have lights out at 11 p.m. and guests must return by the same time. There is a very modern cafe onsite serving cheap breakfasts (see photos) but the cafe closes by 6 p.m. There is a convenience store 10 minutes walk away so I suggest you buy snacks and beverages en route from JR Ishiyama station. For dinner, there is a family restaurant - good value and okay food - about 6 minutes walk away. The seinenkan is located on a small island by a historic bridge. The views of the river inlet flowing into the main Lake Biwa is relaxing, lots of bird wildlife, and lots of rowers (the seinenkan is a water sports facility too). and the sunrise and sunset views are lovely. The staff are very kind. It cost me ¥5,500 for one night and I will stay there again if I have the opportunity."
Guest House Chalet Sielu
"It was very helpful that I could stay at the facility with my dog on my way home from a trip home."
