Very beautiful lake scenery from a room. Very close to the lake side being able to see amazing sunrise view, which is one of my favourites. Room and facilities are excellent and staff is really professional and kind. A bit far away from sightseeing places, though.

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.

A very traditional Japanese hotel. The hotel room smells badly, in particular the carpet. Great view and convenient location.

Great value. We probably visited during the off peak season as the entire area was quiet. The hotel is conveniently located by the lake with a supermarket just down the street and a shuttle bus which brings guests to and from Otsu station. Rioms were clean and we got upgraded to a bigger room which was good for our family. View from the room was great too!

What a view!

It’s a beautiful hotel, lakeside with an amazing view. The room was spacious with all the amenities we needed. All the staff was helpful, friendly and professional. The breakfast was yummy with a wide selection. They seemed to be understaffed at breakfast for the volume of guests which created waiting to get in for breakfast.

A great hotel, nice big rooms. Took us a day to discover there was a shuttle bus to and from Otsu Station, but when utilised it was easier, as it's a 20 minute walk to Zeze Station (closest JR station). Was disappointed to hear there was no laundry facility for guests.
