Biwako Hotel

Biwako Hotel ★★★★★

📍 2-40 Hamamachi, Otsu

"The hotel offers a shuttle service to Otsu Station every 20 minutes, which is very convenient for getting around. The room was great, with lake views, and there's a public bath. There's also a fantastic ramen shop right next door, highly recommended!"

Le Lac Hotel Otsu Ishiyama
8.7 (35 reviews)

Le Lac Hotel Otsu Ishiyama ★★★

📍 9-21 Awazucho, Otsu

"It's a nice hotel; if you plan your travel carefully, it's a good place to stay. Now for the downsides: the nearby drugstores close quite early, and the only places to go in the evening are izakayas and convenience stores."

Biwako Ryokusuitei
9.4 (460 reviews)

Biwako Ryokusuitei ★★★★

📍 6 Chome-1-6 Ogoto, Otsu

"We visit hot spring hotels every six months, and this renovated old establishment is quite good. The hotel doesn't have a washing machine, but there are many laundromats about a 5-minute drive north. We picked one next to Sushiro, so we could eat while waiting for our laundry."

Calendar Hotel

Calendar Hotel ★★

📍 Kasugacho, 1−3 ビエラ大津, Otsu

"Excellent location, right at the station. Check in 16h00. No wifi offered. Hotel access via public restaurant - feels weird to walk between diners to go out / return. Lockers far too narrow even for airline carry-on. Bathroom is clean, shower has small dry area, and water pressure varies. Capsules are spacious with power socket, lights, shelf, etc. The mattress is a few cm thick piece of soft foam and is so worn that it feels like a slab of concrete wrapped in a sheet. Very uncomfortable! And I am 77kg, not overweight. The pillow is a bag filled with what feels like gravel stones. Breakfast comprises one hot / cold drink, a small pile of lettuce leaves with dressing, a thick slab of white bread that is scored about half way deep into a small chessboard and very lightly toasted, and a thimble-size serving of sweet fruit yoghurt. They do offer to hold luggage until 16h00 after check-out, and collecting it is easy and fast."

"The hotel is located by Lake Biwa, and the room was decent. We booked a private onsen room with breakfast and dinner included. The food was excellent, the hot spring was great, and the hotel's service was also very good."

Biwako Hotel ★★★★★
"The views are absolutely stunning, but this hotel has quite a few downsides. First, the good points: The scenery is incredibly beautiful, and you can see Lake Biwa right from your window. The public bath isn't crowded, and the views from there are also lovely during the day. This was the hotel with the best views during our entire trip to Japan. The room itself is huge, with plenty of space for multiple suitcases. Now for the cons: 1. It's an 8-minute shuttle bus ride from Otsu Station. However, the shuttle bus is a mid-sized vehicle, and I always felt bad for the driver struggling with luggage, especially when it was full during peak hours (packed, with just enough seats for everyone). The bus's air conditioning wasn't very strong, so it got quite hot when there were a lot of people in summer. It would be great if they had a larger bus, similar to the Biwako Hotel. 2. The hotel has a very strong, unpleasant odor, almost like body odor. It lingered for several days and was really off-putting. I'm not sure if all rooms have this issue. 3. You absolutely cannot open the window at night. They should really put up a warning sign, because if you do, a swarm of small, light-seeking insects will fly in, and you won't be able to get rid of them all. On our first night, we didn't realize and didn't close the window tightly, and we were incredibly bothered by bugs all night. Even though it's an older hotel, I really hope they can address these issues."

Le Lac Hotel Otsu Ishiyama ★★★
"The location is excellent, right next to JR Ishiyama Station, making it convenient to visit places near Lake Biwa. The rooms are also clean. Bicycles are available for rent at Ishiyama Station for 500 yen per day, so you can rent one to go to Lake Biwa."
