Best Hotels in Otsu

Very good, the room was spacious with a pleasant view from the window. Personally, I felt the breakfast on the 36th floor was better than on the 37th.

Aircon in room wasn’t that cool as it could get stuffy with 4 people in the room. Little dated hotel but good for staying a night or 2. Parking was free when signed up with their free membership program

About a ten-minute walk away, there's also a sushi restaurant with excellent value for money and incredibly fresh ingredients

The lakeside room is incomparable to general street view or building view hotels, giving guests the feeling of exceptional value. It is difficult to find such spacious rooms at the same price in other hotels in Japan

This hotel faces Lake Biwa directly, offering fantastic views. It's conveniently located near a supermarket and a popular duck meat soba restaurant by the lake. The hotel's shuttle bus is also very convenient

Hotel Otsu Biwako was absolutely superb in terms of both facilities and service. It was the most satisfying hotel stay during my entire trip to Japan. We were given a high-floor room with a delightful view

The location is excellent and the hygiene is great. The only minor issue was some pipe noise at night. Overall, I was very satisfied and would definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Kyoto.

Excellent location, right in the heart of the shopping district, and convenient for visiting all the attractions. Although the room was small, it was clean and tidy

Clean hotel at good location with delicious breakfast, nothing more you need to ask for ;-)

Plus, there's a free cup of sake and coffee in the lobby every day! The only downside was that my room faced the street and was a bit noisy. Still, I'd choose this hotel again next time

I stayed here for New Year's Day and found it incredibly convenient for getting around. It's perfectly situated between Daimaru and Takashimaya, making it a top choice for shopping

The hotel lobby has a seating area where you can enjoy complimentary coffee. Plus, there's a direct entrance from the lobby right into the subway station, which is super handy

The buffet breakfast is on the 17th floor, offering lovely views of Higashiyama and the Kamo River. The breakfast spread is quite extensive and the quality is good

We recommended this hotel to all kinds of travelers from nearby beautiful places and shopping areas spacious room, delicious meals and good services

Top end hotel of all we tried while traveling around Japan. Large room, spacious bathroom, good quality beds and pillows

Traveling to Kyoto with my family, choosing to stay here was definitely the right decision. The hotel offers a shuttle service to and from Kyoto Station, which is incredibly convenient

The hotel staff were incredibly welcoming; we weren't sure how to get to the lobby for check-in from a shop in the mall, and a staff member from the shop actually escorted us there

The hotel staff, just like in a standard five-star hotel back home, helped us with our luggage, which is quite rare for the five-star hotels we've stayed at a few times in Japan

You can access beautiful gardens directly from the hotel's central area, and the hotel's onsen hot springs are also very good. Breakfast is abundant with great views too. Overall, it exudes a classic sense of luxury

Great Japanese hospitality, excellent breakfast, crazy good toilet! The hotel is under renovation, but they take care of you and the place will be wonderful once the renovation is complete

queit location to enjoy the authenticity of kyoto. it has everything we need, a well equipped gym, good size indoor pool and a hotpring spa. we had a room with terrace overlooking the city

The room was incredibly spacious, the hotel's environment was excellent, and the service was superb. It's definitely worth staying here! I'll absolutely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Kyoto!

The hotel facilities are excellent, and the rooms, renovated a few years ago, are well-maintained. Amenities are plentiful, with a thoughtful selection of various cups

The hotel service was excellent, truly a luxury experience. It has a swimming pool, gym, and hot springs, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed during our two-day stay

Likes: - Excellent location in Gion; right by the Gion bus stop; lots of places to eat/shop; a few steps away from the Yasaka Shrine and other landmarks - They give cute little things like a foldable comb and a nice wash towel (which I never got in any other hotel) - There's a press for pants on every floor - Water is replenished daily - Coffee is Starbucks Dolce pods - Comfy beds and nice pillows...

The rooms were good size for two with overhead size luggage. No sense of overcrowded. Its located on the touristy part of Kyoto so expect crowds

Great location, good price, quiet. In need of little refresh but did the job. I would recommand if on budget in the city.

Location is great - right the middle of downtown.

They leave a bag on your door every day with a fresh bath towel, coffee and cup for the coffee maker; and you can use that bag to leave your used towel items to put outside your door for them to pick up

I think that is a great system. The room was cozy and just enjoy for my husband and I. He especially loved that you can adjust and turn the lights off/on directly from the headboard - very convenient!

Facilities: Good Cleanliness: Good Ambiance: Good Service: Good Would definitely stay here again.

Spacious room and excellent service from everyone. Feels like living in a garden

Facilities: Good Cleanliness: Good Environment: Good Service: Excellent

Special thanks to Naing Thiri who is so kind and help me pack everything so neatly and even help me get dressed Honestly, when I first checked in and the hotel looks a little bit outdated I was thinking maybe next day I would not want to come back but with the great service, I would definitely stay here again if I come to Kyoto

The first day I arrived I had a stomach issue and the hotel was really kind and helped send fresh ginger tea up to my room and requested. They went out out of their way to find me fresh ginger

They are once again very kind and send a staff to help me pack all my belongings and help me coordinate sending my luggage to Tokyo so I don’t need to lift it on the train

The hotel was pretty good overall. Its location is excellent, very close to Sanjusangendo Temple. The front desk staff, a lovely lady from China, was very thoughtful and helpful

Where everyone can call luxury hotel. The staff is very warm welcome. Location is nice. Bedding and amenities is good high brand. Recommend for who like to living in the luxury hotel.

The environment is very good. Most of the service staff are Southeast Asians. Their service is not as meticulous as that of the Japanese, but it is also very good.

However, the weather was not so good. The hotel is not too far from Kyoto station but not close to any major attractions by walking

Beautiful scenery, excellent location.

Facilities: Very good Cleanliness: Cleaned very well every day Ambience: Great location, I like the hotel design Service: Initially, the service was okay, but I felt a lack of responsibility

The hotel is new and very clean, with comfortable rooms. The only downside is that it doesn't have a window. They offer free coffee and a public bath. Overall, it's excellent.

The hotel's facilities are excellent. The room layout is well-designed and user-friendly, making everything easily accessible. Even after a five-day stay, I didn't feel bored

Room is very tidy and clean with good service. Located near the city center.

The hotel is situated in the relatively quiet area of Nijo, yet it's still within walking distance of Kawaramachi. Walking back to the hotel along the Kamo River or the small stream nearby every day was very pleasant

The only downside was the subpar soft service. Halfway through my stay, my own towel went missing. I suspect it got mixed up with the hotel towels, but this level of housekeeping service is simply unprofessional

This hotel is fantastic! The decor is new and has a wonderful Japanese aesthetic. When you walk into the room, there's no unpleasant smell at all – it's very clean, and the bedding is super comfortable

The best part is the onsen that's included in the price, and which we used daily. Hotel has a somewhat boutique feel, and overall I found it pretty underrated , and good value for what it is

I was very pleased with the hotel room design, comfort and space. The parking is first come first serve even though I had requested for it earlier so I had to park elsewhere for the first few nights

good location, spacious room and cozy design, just the sound proof not good and the noise from the traffic is quite disturbing at the night. Thanks frontline for arranging luggage transfer to my next stop.

  Amenities Good selection and of good quality. They use Laura Ashley toiletries. Amenities can be picked up at the reception - you take what you need - hair band, cotton pads/buds, toothbrush, comb etc

A little bit expensive...breakfast is ok...services is good

However, if you have luggage, would suggest to go via exit 3, take the lift to another hotel lobby (I can’t recall the hotel name). Solaris is across the street from this hotel. I don’t see any lift if taking exit 1

Although the Western breakfast only offered one main dish, it tasted great. The buffet section had fresh squeezed juice and a good variety of salads. My only complaint was the lack of meat; it was all vegetarian

This is an excellent hotel! While it's a bit pricey, the service and quality of the stay are absolutely worth it. The front desk staff were all incredibly friendly during check-in and even upgraded our room

Additionally, the hotel has an exclusive lounge for guests with a good selection of drinks and mainly rice cracker snacks that go well with alcohol. Most importantly, the location is super convenient

This was my second stay here, and the location is truly excellent, especially during cherry blossom season

The only meat options were smoked meats like bacon and eggs. I also tried the Japanese breakfast one morning, and it was equally exquisite. Each small dish even had a label indicating the origin of its ingredients

Without luggage, the hotel is about 20 min bus ride to Kyoto Station. Our room (two twin beds) is spacious and has a great view of the mountain. Beds are great, with the right level of firmness / softness for us

We mistakenly thought the drop-off point for the shuttle at Otsu Station was the pick-up point, and the driver kindly took our luggage and explained that the pick-up was across the street, without being rigid about making us go there

High quality hotel that is reasonably priced with free parking. Our room had a lovely view across the lake. For the price it's excellent.

I used a pre-purchased room voucher, and it was such an amazing deal! The hotel is right near Otsu Station and is absolutely beautiful. The room was huge, with a direct view of Lake Biwa

The hotel offers a shuttle bus to the train station, which made getting around very convenient. The food was delicious, especially the breakfast, with good quality and variety

What’s a good location there ..this is my second times live there ..,free car park …pretty sea view …very good onsen ..100 marks

I loved everything about this hotel. The cleanliness was outstanding — easily one of the cleanest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The staff provided great service and were always helpful and friendly

Overall environment is quiet, gives you a relaxing and calm vibe. The staff members are very polite and helpful. Unfortunately the west wing is under renovation now but it does not really affect the good experience

Good, quiet location. Staff was helpful and very friendly. Would stay again.

The service was excellent, and the room was spacious and clean.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at Heian No Mori Kyoto Hotel! The place was clean, comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We loved our time here and will definitely come back again! 🌸😊

Fortunately they booked us into a brand newly renovated room. Room smells spanky new, located is great for us as we can easily catch different buses to different corners of Kyoto to visit the major sites

On the plus side, there's a shuttle service from Tokyo Station, though it's not very frequent. The hotel also has a large public bath, which is wonderful for relaxing after a day of walking

There are two taxi stands right downstairs, Takashimaya is next door, and many attractions and shopping streets are within walking distance. The Good Nature Station downstairs is also great for browsing

Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good Good

The location is absolutely perfect! For tourists, Shijo Kawaramachi is the best base

The biggest advantage of Hotel Gajoen Tokyo is definitely its location. Beyond its prime spot in the city center, there's a direct walkway from the hotel's third floor straight to Takashimaya

It’s a proper eco-friendly spot, they give you a reusable water bottle to use during your stay, which is dead handy for carrying around while you're out and about

You've got loads of shops and places to explore nearby, so you're never short of things to do😊 Brilliant ! housekeeping did a cracking job

For such a prime and expensive location, the room size is actually quite good! The Kamo River and Kawaramachi area right next to the hotel offer truly healing beautiful scenery, and there are tons of great food options right outside the door too!

Also, the beds in the hotel are incredibly comfortable – just the right firmness – ensuring a good night's sleep

The hotel's location is really great; I love the Isomaru right across the street. This time, though, I encountered a staff member who wasn't very sharp

The main draw is how comfortable it is right by the Takase River, and Ogawa Coffee, just one traffic light away, is also delicious

There's a supermarket just 20 meters to the left when you leave the hotel. Matsuya (a popular beef bowl restaurant) is about 200 meters further to the left, with Isomaru Suisan directly opposite it

This was my second stay, so I didn't take any photos of the hotel

This hotel offers incredible value for money! I saw some reviews mentioning no windows, but I found that if you pull back the curtain behind the bed, there's a window that allows for ventilation! The location is excellent, with a bus stop right downstairs and the subway not far

There were a lot of foreign guests, and the front desk staff spoke good English, giving it a vibe similar to the youth hostels I've stayed at in Europe. I went on a weekday and paid less than 200 for a single room

Fun hotel, design was awesome, exactly what you’re looking for in Japan. Bed was comfy & bathroom excellent

I didn't have high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised – the decor and details are adorable! Highly recommend! I'd definitely come back if I have the chance!

In the common areas, there's hot water and a microwave available, and a simple breakfast is provided in the mornings

Location of the hotel was a short walk over the bridge to the underground Station. Supermarket and bike hire over the road. The room were dark due black walls

It was so relaxing, and the lake view was just magnificent. Since I'll be in Kyoto for the next few days, I'm definitely coming back for another night to enjoy the onsen and the stunning view of Lake Biwa again

I booked the VIP room and it was huge! It really felt like a traditional ryokan, which was superb! Having the onsen right in the room was also fantastic, honestly. I absolutely loved my stay here

We have seen this Hotel offers Onsen (Natural Spring Bath House) but not for Guest without a accomodation at this Hotel. Accommodation is necessary to use the Onsen at this Hotel.

Wow! What a wonderful experience at Biwako Grand Hotel. Truly the most relaxing part of my Japan trip, the onsen was very beautiful, with fantastic views

We didn't end up getting a pure lake view, but it was still a beautiful and relaxing experience in the tatami room. It was a tad pricey, even for off-season, but with a wonderful kaiseki dinner, it was still a great time

Dinner was served in a grand banquet hall at a designated time, and it was so lavish that the dishes barely fit on the table – everything was delicious! The facilities are quite old, so I did notice noises like the motor and the bathroom fan, but all the staff were very kind, and I had a pleasant stay overall

For a city like Kyoto where every inch of land is precious, this hotel offers incredibly good value for money. The rooms are clean, the location is convenient, and the service is attentive

This hotel is a 5-minute walk from Shijo Kawaramachi Station. Kyoto isn't very big, and in this weather, you can walk to Kiyomizu-dera, the Gion area, stroll along the river, and even reach the **** area all on foot

On check-in and check-out days, you can use your Suica card to lock your luggage, which is right in front of the front desk. There are many restaurants in the alley between the hotel and the Kamo River worth trying

On the first day, I took public transport everywhere, only to realize later how close everything actually was. It's right on a main road, so there's some motorcycle noise, but it didn't bother my sleep much

You will be able to take your loungewear in front of the elevator. The room was single, but I wondered if it was enough to sleep. There was no sound leakage in the next room, etc. , and I was able to spend quietly

Stayed here for four nights while in Kyoto. In a great area a short ride from all the sights, but an interesting neighbourhood. Shops and restaurants close by. Would recommend.

The lobby on the first floor was quite spacious, providing a good spot for a temporary rest. They offered complimentary sugar-free beverages (available until 9 PM or 9:30 PM) and there was an ice machine

Although the room was small, it had everything we needed. The staff were very welcoming and the room was very clean. The location is quite convenient; Nishiki Market is less than a 10-minute walk away.

This hotel was perfect for our stay in Kyoto. It was exceptionally clean, beautiful rooms and excellent customer service

The location was also excellent. It's about a 7-minute walk to Sanjo subway station, and close to the bustling Sanjo and Shijo districts, roughly a ten to fifteen-minute walk away

My friend got sick half way through the night and the hotel let us book a separate room at 01:00 in the morning. It was a great location so we would definitely stay again!

The room was excellent, with comfortable bedding and a spacious layout. The bathroom didn't have a bathtub, which is a bit uncommon for Japan, but the space was still decent

Truly enjoyed my stay here! Really love the cozy and zen vibes and location was really good, directly opposite a mall with Uniqlo, GU and Loft. Amenties were provided in the lobby so you can help yourself to it anytime

It was really good to stay at Resol, the staff were friendly, the rooms were clean, the location was excellent- right in the middle of the high street- but the hotel itself served as a sanctuary and can I add, the scent when you walked in was heavenly- I even bought their signature essential oil

Excellent location, just a few steps and you're right on the hustle and bustle of downtown Kyoto. Room was clean. They have free coffee inside a quiet library. Staff was extremely helpful. I recommend

Overall is good and they have Refa for shower and hairdryer. My only complaint is the room is quite dark, not have enough light/lamp..

Excellent! The room is quite spacious, big enough to open a 30-inch suitcase

The rooms were just right - they provide pyjamas, slippers, and all the things you need, like a phone charger- that was super helpful and convenient for travelers who might need converters

Takashimaya is just a 5-minute walk to the right. The location is unbeatable, and it's excellent value for money, which more than makes up for the slightly small rooms. The service was also very good!

The hotel has an excellent location right in the city center, with everything within easy reach. It is modern, clean, and well-maintained

The location is excellent, amenities are self service on the 2nd floor, love the shampoo/conditioner/body wash that the hotel provides. It’s clean and the service is friendly

5th floor has 1 washing machine and 6th floor has 2. Only fill it up like less than halfway to ensure your clothes come out dry. I requested our room to be on the opposite side of the Main Street so it isn’t as loud

The breakfasts can become a bit repetitive over six days, but we were never left hungry. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. The room had everything necessary, except for proper storage space

Loved this hotel and everything about it. Rarely would I stay at a hotel again, but for Hotel Musse I will for sure return
