Top Otsu Hotel Reviews

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

10/10 Excellent

"Great facility and location."

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"

Biwako Ryokusuitei

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed one night, but if we ever go back to Japan we will try to book for longer. It is a bit out of the way and if you miss the last shuttle the walk back is about 20 minutes. But the traditional room with the bath on the balcony was amazing. And the buffet breakfast was fun. One night just wasn't enough time to truly enjoy the pause in our trip."

Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient Transport: An easy 5-minute walk from Kyoto Station, making sightseeing and transit incredibly hassle-free.Excellent Facilities: The hotel is pristine and fully equipped. The smart TV lets you check laundry status from your room, and the lobby offers a premium amenity bar with ReFa products. Staying here also grants free lounge access at their Shijo sister property!Rich Dining Experience: The food is phenomenal. The complimentary guest lounge offers afternoon sweets and unlimited evening sake/beer. The breakfast buffet is an absolute must-try, featuring live-cooked Wagyu beef shabu-shabu."

Toyoko Inn Kyoto Biwako Otsu

10/10 Excellent

"Toyoko Hotels are usually great. They are clean, convenient, and affordable, and they tend to have lots of useful amenities or people who might have forgotten to bring something like a toothbrush or razor. This particular hotel has a really convenient location that's a short walk from several train stations and from a couple of very charming and pleasant shopping arcades. Miidera (三井寺) and Lake Biwa (琵琶湖) are also manageable walks. Otsu is a lovely and underrated city, and this hotel is in a really nice part of the city."
