Hotel Boston Plaza Kusatsu

8/10 Good

"雨の日でしたが、駅から殆ど傘も使わずにホテルのドアまで行ける便利さが嬉しかったです。ただ設備が少し今のニーズに合っていないように思いました。例えば最近のホテルには備えられているUSBのチャージポートがベッド傍にも見当たらないようでした。利用したお部屋がある貫"

Biwako Hotel

8/10 Good

"room fine bathroom a bit dated as is the rest of the hotel. overall good location right on lake all rooms have view of lake pool is free for resident but very over clorinated which gave us all bad rashes. so only used once which was a sham as reason we stayed there. station close and hotel has shuttle bus to station 3 times an hour which was good over all hotel ok probably not to my taste but very popular with locals we were only english there and a good place to stay away from hustle and bustle of kyoto but easy access as only two stops on train. stayed there 20 years ago and it hadn’t changed since then"
