Hot spring Hotels in Hikone

Hikone is good for a day trip from Kyoto. But if you prefer to stay for a night, then this hotel is a reasonable option. I drove. Needed GPS to help me find its location because its signboard was not that obvious. But you’ll find it, anyway. I opted the half board option: dinner was good and breakfast OK. Typical of an onsen hotel: nice hot spring and a delicious dinner. Not an upmarket choice. But decent and served its purpose. I was happy. The public bath itself was a big small. I went there in the evening and morning. I was the only person around near 7:00 am. Enjoyed both the hot spring and its quietness.

We interrupted at the best time of the cherry blossoms. We stayed in the Castle View twin room on the 5 floor. Hikone Jo castle came from the window of the room, and the sky was clear without a cloud, and I spent this unbelievable bliss. Dinner was made of seafood iron plate. Color 々 arranged, fun and very delicious. Breakfast buffet was good. It was boiling hot water, but there was a large bath, so I could relax.

I used it for a long time, but the cospa was very good. Surrounding: Despite the good access in front of Hikone Station, it is quiet and comfortable because there are few car streets at the east exit, which is the opposite exit of the station exit in the downtown area. Since the nearest convenience store is opposite the station, some people may feel a little distance ... There are taverns and Italians on the lower floor, and Chinese and Japanese, Western and Chinese restaurants just outside the hotel. If you go to the opposite exit of the station, there are many Al Plaza and bars. On the east exit side of the hotel, there are drugstores, ion town, Lawson, comeda, sushiro, bronco Billy, ramen shop, etc., about 10 minutes walk from the hotel. Room: 13m2 with 140cm beds. There is a white-based wallpaper, a large window, and you don't feel pressure. The window is closed because many insects come in. There is a humidified air purifier in each room, and if you put water in automatic mode, you don't have to dry it. There are air conditioners, TVs, refrigerators, desks and chairs. There are two outlets on the desk and ２ next to the bed. The desk is large enough to put a computer on and work, and the lighting is bright and easy to work. The bed has a booklight and the mattress is also advertised, so it's comfortable to sleep in. Another pillow can be borrowed at the front desk. The shower is a type that switches to the washbasin when water is supplied. You have to adjust the two faucets, warm and cold water, by yourself. Breakfast: from 6:30 to 9:00 on weekdays and 9:30 on Saturdays and Sundays can be eaten in the lounge on the second floor. The staple food is several kinds of bread and toaster such as croissant, waffle, milk bread, and two kinds of corn flakes, and pilaf. There are daily side dishes, seasoned boiled *, scrambled eggs and sausages. The daily side dishes were chicken ＆ avocado and ginger chicken, and there were two types depending on the day. Drinks include daily soup, local miso soup, smoothies, coffee, orange juice, etc. There is also a take-out box where you can eat in your room. At the end of my stay, I renovated the lounge space, and I placed desks and chairs in a place where I could work and spend time slowly except for breakfast. I think I will use this hotel again if I have a chance.

Location is excellent. Very easy to find and very close to the station. It is a nice hotel with nice friendly staff. Water is provided and service is great. The only shortcoming is the room and bed is too small even though we have made it clear during booking the number of persons staying. This is the only thing that could make our stay more comfortable. There are lots of restaurants around. It is also not far from the attractions.

I was afraid that the chair in the room was broken, and it was like a twist when I was just behind it. The room is a comfortable room, the route inn that has been in the past years is black. There was a grocery . I was a little impressed ＾＾ Open the door and the left hand is the closet. It was convenient to be able to put clothes without doors on the right side. The next day's change was extended in the closet! The clothes worn for a day were used without a door and once dry. I arrived early, so I could choose a parking lot, but I wonder if all the holidays will be over, and there's a convenience store and a snack shop nearby, and it doesn't matter if there's a car, but it's like that within walking distance. Breakfast service to public bath and free parking It was generally good because it was the biggest point to choose the route inn.

Although the hotel is quite old, it is very clean and hygienic. The front desk grandfather is very enthusiastic. The hotel is a little far from the station, but fortunately, it takes about ten minutes to walk, which is generally good.

It is cold in winter and the food is average. If you don’t have an obsession with Japanese hotels, you can avoid it.

I recently stayed at AB Hotel Hikone and had an exceptional experience. The location deserves a solid 5 stars—it's conveniently situated at 5-9 Daitocho, Hikone, Shiga, offering easy access to key attractions. The cleanliness of the hotel is commendable, earning another 5-star rating. The staff was friendly and accommodating, though a slightly higher rating for friendliness would enhance the overall experience. The value for money is excellent, with top-notch facilities that deserve a full 5 stars. The breakfast exceeded expectations, earning a perfect score. Overall, AB Hotel Hikone provides a fantastic stay with its prime location, cleanliness, value for money, and outstanding facilities. I highly recommend it to fellow travelers seeking a delightful and comfortable accommodation experience in Hikone, Japan.
