Top Otsu Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"NOHGA hotel was absolutely amazing! We’ve stayed at 3 hotels across Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. While the other ones were great, NOHGA was by far the best hotel of the three, and perhaps the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The hotel is beautiful inside, smells great and has wonderful staff and amenities. Kyoto is a city where tourists walk and hike and having a laundry room was lifesaving. I received 5 1000 yen vouchers and with the Bakery, coffee shop, and bar (all inside the hotel) they went quickly! The bakery was amazing by the way. I eat a LOT of Asian bread and I had some of the best ones I’ve ever tasted here (try the rock seaweed bread). On top of the wonderful amenities, you can ask for pretty much anything you need from the front, and the rooms had clean water dispensers (another amazing feature that most don’t have). The showers and toilets are also very modern and amazing to use. Everything down to the cups, kettles and coffee were perfect. The location is great as well, located near Kiyomizu-Dera which was the first few hours of one of our days. The hotel also offers baggage transport services through both Yamato and Airporter (same day airport delivery and currently has our bags). I may update depending on how that goes, we are in Osaka now and flying tomorrow. This is the kind of hotel that makes me want to go into the hotels business. I proposed to my girlfriend at Fushimi Inari Taisha. Thank you NOGHA for being a wonderful place to return to!"

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the cross section of tradition and modern during my stay. The onsen (natural hot springs) was very therapeutic. The staff was very friendly and made the check in/check out process very smooth. My group and I arrived with our luggage two hours before check-in and the hotel staff were very accommodating with holding our belongings allowing us to free up our hands to explore and grab a bite to eat."

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"
