Stayed with family · For friends and family

The room was clean and quite large, much larger than the typical Japanese hotel room. We were on a high floor, and the view was beautiful. The breakfast buffet is fine but not that extensive. For us, the highlight was the front desk staff, which made several calls for us to work out an unexpected difficulty (we don't speak Japanese). They were absolutely fantastic. We can't thank them enough.

The staff provided amazing service, and the lake view was stunning. The room was spacious with enough room to open at least three large suitcases. The bed was comfy, with good amenities; I must mention the high quality hairdryer. Although the bathroom is a bit old, it is still very clean and equipped with everything you need.

The staff was phenomenal, the breakfast was delicious and the view of the lake was breathtaking. The shuttle to the statiion was on time clean and convenient.The only things that were missing is ice machines, laundry and maybe a spa. They do sell ice in the convenience store.

Great views of the lake. We even got to see multiple fireworks shows on the lake during our stay. It was a super convenient location for us to explore Kyoto, Uji and Lake Biwa. To clarify, we had a car. My only complaints would be, I wish the rooms were a bit bigger and the AC a bit stronger.

Rooms and fixtures were rather outdated, but experience was very good. Appreciated free shuttle to/from Otsu station. Great view from room, but limited dining options nearby. Hotel restaurants were adequate.

Solo stay

Beautiful views and location but an older hotel that shows some signs of wear. The bed was very comfortable even being a 6'3 American and the extra space and seating felt more like a hotel at home rather than the tiny hotel rooms in Tokyo. You cannot beat the view, you tower above any other hotel and the windows are gigantic and clean. The views of the city are available in the restaurant lobbies on the top floors and are more limited but still stunning. The only issue was the room being dated. The plumbing for the toilet dripped a little when flushed and the hot water tap on the sink let out a loud whistle when turned on. The walls had small scuffs from furniture being moved but overall it is an exceptional hotel on a beautiful lake.
