Best Hotels in Otsu

On the way back around 8:30, the number of tourists started to increase, so I recommend going earlier. The toaster for warming bread browns quickly, so I think it's best to toast it in small increments of about 1 minute

I approached the staff, and they said the air conditioner was working fine and it would cool down after a while

The front desk service is excellent, the staff are very nice, and it is close to the subway station

The price was a bit high, but it provided many disposable practical items, including small packages of facial cleansers, lotions, and various tea bags, which can be picked up free of charge on the first floor; the hotel front desk can help with restaurant reservations, but the English of the lady at the front desk is not that good, but the service is very enthusiastic

As it's a business hotel, the rooms aren't particularly spacious, but they have bathtubs and are perfectly adequate for sleeping. The second-floor lounge offers complimentary soft drinks in the evenings

They also offer carbonated drinks and vegetable juices, ideal for those who don't like sweets. Next to the lounge are four washing machines and dryers, which are free to use (detergent costs 50 yen)

everybody's been so kind , the japonese word ""shinsetsuna "" is right ,very gracieux , everyone with a beautiful smile , this hotel has a very good position , easy to thind close to buses , good position to the Kiyomizudera just perfect to enjoy the city of Kyoto

Room cleanliness is excellent! Quiet  And location is tip top just walking distance to see seeing destination 💕

Excellent location and service at this price. Very happy staying here.

Very good experience! The hotel is well located to go sightseeing around. They also gave us reusable bottles to fill with the water and drinks dispensers available

Very comfortable, good location and well cared for. The staff gave us lovely souvenirs (there were more that I didn’t take photos) Highly recommendeds

Service: The staff were incredibly welcoming. Environment: Spotlessly clean. Cleanliness: Housekeeping was very prompt. The surrounding area is filled with charming, traditional shops and numerous kimono rental stores

Perfect location, with so good facilities. I would recommend this hotel to my friends

Good location, the hotel is near many shops, cafe and restaurant. The reception is very frieny.

The front desk staff were very friendly and communication was smooth. The overall cleanliness was decent, but it was a bit startling when a cockroach suddenly crawled out from under the bed in the middle of the night

The room was very clean, and the front desk staff were enthusiastic and vibrant. The only downside was that the room was a bit small, making it difficult for three people to spread out their luggage.

The room was clean when we checked in, and the staff was very accommodating, especially with storing our luggage after checkout. Overall, a comfortable and convenient place to stay

We had a wonderful stay; the staff was incredibly competent and even helped me retrieve an item I'd left on the train. Their kindness and friendliness were remarkable

The hotel is generally very good, nothing fancy but perfectly adequate. It's well located with plenty of public transport nearby. Plus, the facilities are well-maintained for relaxing.

The location is excellent, within walking distance to Gion, Yasaka Shrine, and Kiyomizu-dera Temple. It's also right next to a shopping street with many restaurants, which would be fun to explore at night

However, since I stayed on New Year's Day, almost all the restaurants were closed, which was a bit disappointing. The facilities were clean and convenient, with a microwave and washing machine available

Other than this, i don't have any complains, you get a washing machine, microwave, mini fridge, shower with clothes drying function, mini kitchen

It's a small place but has everything you need, giving you a taste of everyday Japanese life – not luxurious, but perfectly sufficient

The hotel is near metro station, the room is big but the windows are old and aren't sound proof

Stayed at Hotel Amanek Kyoto and it was an excellent experience from start to finish

Because it was a new hotel, I was worried because it was not rated. Complimentary sauna and free lounge until 8 pm at very low price (less than 120,000 won per night). The lounge provided wine, tea and four draft beers.

Everything was very clean and the staff was super nice. We really enjoyed staying and would recommend it to everyone looking for a hotel that has also close proximity to some shopping markets

Many reviews complained about the size of the room but my family and I liked it though. We got a triple bed room and felt that it was cosy and that the space, while limited, was sufficient

The location is super convenient—close to public transport and within easy reach of Kyoto’s main attractions, yet still शांत and comfortable after a long day of exploring

There was a coat hanger space, wall bars to hang more coats/towels and there was space for us to open our luggage as well. Was a comfortable stay and we wouldn't mind going there again if we revisit Kyoto

Really love the interiors of this hotel! inside each bedroom there is a traditional tatami style living room with a tea table for guests to enjoy tea and food

Every hotel room is spacious with pretty new and well maintained furnishings

It was close to the station and the facilities were good.

Cosy hotel in a great location close to major attractions and subway minutes away. Few stops from Kyoto station and close to Gion. Conveniently located and yet quiet and peaceful. Delicious Ramen at Ramen Miyako

The room was beautiful. Staff were very kind and helpful. Amenities supplied in the downstairs area was also very helpful. Absolutely loved it wish we stayed longer!

Loved it Was conveniently located to just about everything we wanted to see Staff was awesome. Rooms were bettet than expected! Across the street from the subway

Great location for Higashiyama and Gion district. Quiet and cdlm with 2 walkable subway stations. Lovely, helpful staff and spacious rooms.

Walk to Nishiki Market and Pontocho lane

The room was clean, tidy, and spacious, and even had a bathtub where you could relax after a long day! The location was also quite convenient, making it a great place for a family to stay, and you could also experience a Japanese style!

They have the usual amenities in room, plus coffee pods for the Nespresso machine. They’re very well located to see lots of shrines as well as department shopping. There’s a ton of good food around also!

Good location and good service

Very well kept and clean rooms! They only clean on certain days but room change your towels and take garbage for free daily if you ask. It’s an additional charge if you want room cleaning outside of this schedule

They do the job but don’t expect the wash + dry mode to fully dry your clothes (I’d say they get to 85% dry and the last bit you can get if you lay everything out after taking it back to your room)

The river a couple of blocks away was great for morning run. Waking distance to larger shopping districts across the river. Waking distance to larger sites and temples in our side of river

Its clean and quiet, and on a relatively quiet street. The best was the public bath at the end of the day it was so lovely to soak in the hot tub. I highly recommend this great establishment for long or shorter stays

The room was functionally organized—futons for sleeping, a table for evening tea, a TV, air conditioning, and an air purifier. You can always refill your hot water and heat up food in the microwave at the ryokan

And one of the rooms was dedicated to viewing carp. The water was so clear and the carp were so pretty. I had a very comfortable stay for 3 nights and 4 days. I would like to stay again if I have the chance

Beautiful traditional Inn. Easy communication with staff in English. Beautiful running water feature with Koi ourside sliding doors in room. Beautiful and wonderful all around. Would 100% book again!

It was also a different experience. The hotel is very convenient for transportation. You can take bus 201 to Kiyomizu Temple, Shijo, etc. , but please note that there are two types of 201, so don't take the wrong one

I really enjoyed my stay here at Ryokan Sawaya Honton. For me i wanted an authentic older style accomadation, and this place delivered. They do have washing machines and dryers, so you can do yourself when it suits

Excellent dinner, onsen experience. Clean room and we got a bigger room as we are a group of 5 traveling by car. But if you happen to reach their sister company/building they will direct you

Amazing ryokan + dinner experience at great value!! Tips - Top up ¥700/pax to use (lux) sister hotel onsens - both 5th and 11th floor outdoor are wonderful Top-up for a5 beef for dinner Use sister hotel to get to Level 1/ street access (this lobby is level 6 and up a steep hill) Points to note 1) no lifts for 2nd and 3rd floor rooms (pack light or leave luggage in car) 2) no shower in room > use...

The kaiseki dinner was plenty and delicious, especially the pork belly potato puree and the kamameshi. The breakfast was just so-so but the dinner made up for it. There is also free ice cream and yukata

The dinners were amazing and the meat we got was almost better than the super expensive wagyu I paid for earlier in the trip. This is a wonderful location to relax. Thank you for a beautiful stay!

We lucked out, catching the shuttle from the train station to Yumotokan, the sister onsen next door you can pay a small fee to use, even offering a private bath we absolutely loved

I am satisfied with my stay! The room is spacious and has clean toilet. No bathroom as you have to shower in the rather small shared onsen - which I didn’t mind

I highly recommend checking out the local Izakayas and cafes for an equally excellent experience

I'm glad I came across this exceptional hotel while planning my trip. It's a stylish and unique hotspot. I wasn’t sure what to expect from Ōtsu, and still don't know completely, but this hotel was definitely a highlight

We loved our stay at hotel koo. It was the perfect combination between japanese traditional house and modern scandinave touch. We felt so at peace in this room, a perfect moment of relaxation

Bed was really confortable and the room so big. The staff were super welcoming and it’s nice to have free homemade snacks and drinks. I definitely recommend this hotel to design lovers

Warm welcome with tea and ice. The room had a beautiful design; a blend of retro '70s vibe and a traditional Japanese house, fully modernized. The breakfast was exceptional

There was also a lounge with great coffee, drinks and snacks

For dinner, we had a course in a room with a good location (along the Kamo River) of the affiliated restaurant, and the croissant for breakfast was also the best

I would say this place is great! Accomodating and English speaking staff. Good aestethic place. Please continue providing good service for tourist like us. Hope to visit your place again next time. Arigatou gozaimasu!

It was a renovated and very beautiful room. The access to Nishiki Market and Pontocho was very good

Incredibly friendly and welcoming staff. Very central location, short walk to Nashiki market. The hotel has a washer dryer unit in the building.

Location and rooms were excellent. The staff were always friendly and willing to assist with anything we needed.

The walls are a bit thin, so we heard some of the street sounds, but we were so tired we could just tune it out when we went to sleep. Overall we had a great stay for 2 nights, just be careful if you're a light sleeper!

The garden attached to the room is like a mini balcony, which is quite a creative touch! There's a parking lot right next door, making it super convenient for those driving

Very near Kyoto station. Access possible by walk. Check-in is easy with the qr code or the reservation number.

Very good location, very clean and very friendly staff. Would recommend staying here but the Laundry was kind of expensive it was 700 yen for a wash and dry 😞😞

The room was comfortable and clean. Although it's a bit far from the bustling city center, the surrounding area is quiet and perfect for rest. The staff were also very friendly and patient during self-check-in

Most major temples are only a 10–15 minute Uber ride away, so getting around was easy. If you want to stay right in the absolute middle of everything, you might prefer somewhere more central

But for us, staying slightly local was perfect. We liked walking around the neighbourhood and getting a feel for everyday Kyoto. The hotel is clean, modern, and feels quite new

A very cozy single-family house. Although it is far from the station (very close to Ninenzaka), the environment is very good, very warm and quiet

You can also experience the Japanese home life, which is suitable for family travel

There was a good balance of various small dishes, including vegetables and fish, which was a welcome change for our stomachs after eating out so much during our trip

The location is super good, opposite ****, a five-minute walk. The grandpa at the front desk can speak English and his attitude is very good. The room is clean and tidy, very quiet. You can store your luggage for free

The location is very good and also the service is good too, staff very nice!

The room is actually quite spacious, and the surrounding scenery is also very good

The service attitude is also very good. The hotel does not have an elevator, but you can help with the luggage. The only drawback: there are not enough sockets

Aside from the fact that you could only access the upper floors by stairs and the toilet area in the unit bath was small, the room was clean and the service was excellent

Stayed here 3 nights in June after serious issues with our airbnb. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone. Staff were super friendly, Jefferey at the front desk in particular was very helpful

It is the beatiful part of Kyoto: two steps from temples and mountains, and the key touristic central parts are also in 15-20 minutes

But the service is good, there is no lift available but the hotel wait for us and took our bag into second floor, which we really appreciated. The room is hugeee! And amenities is good as well

Super hotel, clean, good service

On the first day of my stay, I didn't know how to use the air conditioner, so a staff member came over and kindly helped me. The shower had good hot water and there was a bathtub so I could relax

The value for money was good, it was clean, and I had a comfortable stay. It would have been nice if there was an elevator

Creams, shampoos, and face masks were also provided! The breakfast was excellent, European-style, and very tasty. The two friendly girls at reception were very attentive to our needs

I used this hotel for a business trip. I had booked it expecting a regular business hotel, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it was a good place to stay

I was so impressed by this hotel's service of allowing guests to go out and having their rooms cleaned while they were out! I would definitely like to go back again!

We chose a room with breakfast. The linens and bath amenities were ample. There was a hair dryer, a straightening iron, and a curling iron

Very nice, clean, and cozy! I recommend it to everyone. The prices are reasonable.

I loved my stay here. The room was clean and the staff were very friendly

If you're traveling to Kyoto with your family, this is the best place to stay and I highly recommend it. First of all, the location is great

The room was also clean, and the best thing about it was the customer service

It's close to Tofukuji Station, just one stop from Kyoto Station, and there's a convenience store and ramen shop within a 5-minute walk, making it very convenient

The location is convenient, and the environment is nice. There is a washing machine and a small balcony available.

I had poor Wi-Fi connection during my stay, so I contacted the customer service, and they replied quickly and set up pocket Wi-Fi for me right away. I'd like to thank the customer service staff

For an unmanned hotel, the facilities were really good. I think there were appliances that I would need, like a refrigerator and washing machine

What a fantastic place to be able to choose to stay on our own first trip to Japan. The room was cozy and had a lot of space for us to be able to spread out. The beds are comfortable and the air conditioning worked well

Probably the two only complaints that I had from this place. Number one the owner does provide you a paper that you give to the cab driver to find the place, however, the cab driver still couldn't find the place

Highly recommend! The inn is very cozy and clean and the room we got was very spacious. It is in close proximity to a subway station and bus stop, making commutes via public transit convenient

We had a view of a small garden that was just very peaceful and zen-like. We are worth within a 10 minute walk to the Keihen train to be able to get us places very easily

The hotel host Thomas is very hospitable. He was gracious in adding my daughter to the stay last min without any additional cost. He also helped me to arrange for a taxi

Helpful staff. Nice traditional Japanese room, but with a more western bed. Forget about your ordinary hotel when you visit Kyoto.

lovely and quiet lovely place to stay. very quiet area close to transport links. traditional look and very comfy beds. facilities were excellent including washing machine

good location, room was more than fine. A good value and pleasant stay

It is not right next to anything, but is close to a lot of things. Small room, but very convenient and comfortable. Thank you Machiya Kamiumea for a lovely experience

Quaint Kyoto local stay This place was very quaint and right in the heart of the neighborhood! You really feel like you are one of the locals. There is a coffee shop nearby called Ichikagawa that has lovely breakfast

The area is a little more out of the way than it appears so don’t expect to use this location as a hub for sightseeing, especially because Kyoto’s transit system isn’t as robust

This was a ryokan/modern room hybrid, but more on the modern side. Everything was clean and well maintained. The location is great and the neighborhood is awesome
