3-Star Hotels in Shiga Prefecture, Japan

We didn't know that this is a love hotel and only realised it the day before checking in, as the check in is only from 6pm. The room is very spacious and we didn't mind the ****, condoms and lots of beauty products it came with. :D However, I didn't know that hotel rooms in Japan can allow smoking, so the strong cigarette smell in the room was very off putting. We put up a 'do not disturb' sign because we don't need cleaning daily. The second day I noticed some of the **** from the hotel were gone in our room but the room wasn't made (bed wasn't made, trash not emptied). I asked the staff and they said they removed it because they thought it bothered us. This was a bit weird to me, I'm not sure where they got the idea from and I don't know why they entered the room. It's also important to note that the train only runs once per hour most of the day (during some hours twice).

Another good fine hotel chain. Rooms are big and if you are driving, this is a great choice with the parking available…

What surprised us most about this hotel was the amazing breakfast! There was so much variety! It's very close to Hikone station. It seems that it even offers bicycles for (free) use. We thought of going for a short bike ride in the morning but didn't have enough time--needed to get to Kyoto (only an hour away) quickly. This hotel makes an overnight trip to see beautiful Hikone castle very feasible.

It was better than expected. The breakfast was more than expected and the taste was delicious. About 4 minutes by car from the station. I think it is convenient for people with cars. I was surprised that the water pressure in the shower was too strong, but it is better than weak.

It was very clean, had all the amenities, and I especially liked that the basic skincare products for women were DHC products. There was a wide variety of rice balls for breakfast, and I was very satisfied. I would like to stay here again if I have the opportunity.

The room is spacious, clean and tidy. The breakfast is exquisite. The best is the ninth floor Omi beef teppanyaki. The meat is tender and the appetizer is paired with salmon dishes. The dessert strawberries are amazing.

This is a **** hotel. They probably weren't too welcoming of a solo driver like me. I was in a rush from Kyoto and saw free parking, so I happened to book this place. There was no one in the hotel. There was a phone at the main entrance (probably for communication). Japanese people book rooms knowing which one they want and go straight to their rooms (without locking the door) because they want privacy. When I arrived, I tried to find someone, but an elderly woman who didn't speak English came out and talked for a long time before finally letting me in... But then I think they probably asked for two of us. I nodded randomly, and only then did I understand why I was there. There was a ************ rental price list on the table. I wouldn't have made any money going alone. I have to say, the Japanese really know how to have fun in this area!

The American atmosphere spread across the whole hotel with the help of design. It was quite classic. The room setting is a bit too liberal. The bathroom and toilet are in see-through form.The hotel, by the way, is conveniently located by the train station and the discounted parkings are right next to the hotel .

The twin room is larger than other hotels in Japan, and is very close to JR Kusatsu Station, within walking distance. There is a shopping mall nearby where you can go shopping. There are also many searches for restaurants in the surrounding area. Overall it’s pretty good.

Check-in is only possible at the designated time. You need to use the self-service check-in machine, which was slow due to lack of familiarity. It's convenient to walk to the station.
