Top Otsu Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic stay. Location, service, food, rooms, the total package. Cant recommend it enough. Having an on site bakery made a great place even more unique. You won't be disappointed."

Apa Hotel Biwako Seta Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"This is our home away from home when we visit my family. We get a twin room so that we have some extra space. Proximity to the station is great, and there are two grocery stores within walking distance. Laundry facilities are good, and the rooms are always clean. The bed is a bit soft for my liking, but my husband loves it. We will be staying at APA Seta Ekimae again in the future. We did not have their breakfast."
