Top Biwako Hall Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The nicest hotel we stayed at in Japan. Breakfast was AMAZING. Definitely get a room plan with Breakfast. You get choice of a western egg dish, plus a very high quality buffet. We had dinner twice at the restaurant and both meals were great. We also had a rooftop cocktail. The staff was very helpful with our luggage forwarding, as well. Laundry facilities were very nice. Beds were super comfortable. Fabulous location. Walking distance to Yasaka and Kiyomizu. We rented e-bikes from the hotel and had a great day and covered a ton of ground."

THE HOTEL HIGASHIYAMA KYOTO TOKYU, A Pan Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Has a shuttle bus from Kyoto station. Hotel Higayama"

Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great English speaking staff with beautiful rooms. We booked last minute for one night and got a free upgrade. The view of the lake and city is gorgeous. I would recommend staying here for comfort."

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in Kyoto. They offer amazing toiletries/guest amenities!!!"

SOLARIA Nishitetsu Hotel Kyoto Premier

8/10 Good

"Solario Hotel, Kyoto: great location, pricey for what you get The location is the standout. It's easy to reach the main sights and getting around the city is simple, which makes it a very convenient base for exploring Kyoto. The rest of the stay was solid: everything was pretty good and nothing really let us down. The one drawback is value. Given what the room rate was, I expected a bit more, and it could be better for the price. Still, if location is your priority, it's hard to beat. Verdict: Recommended for the location. Just go in knowing the price is on the high side."

Hotel Gracery Kyoto Sanjo

8/10 Good

"Good property. Excellent breakfast. Good shopping and easy access to public transport."

Hotel Boston Plaza Kusatsu

8/10 Good

"雨の日でしたが、駅から殆ど傘も使わずにホテルのドアまで行ける便利さが嬉しかったです。ただ設備が少し今のニーズに合っていないように思いました。例えば最近のホテルには備えられているUSBのチャージポートがベッド傍にも見当たらないようでした。利用したお部屋がある貫"

Biwako Hotel

8/10 Good

"room fine bathroom a bit dated as is the rest of the hotel. overall good location right on lake all rooms have view of lake pool is free for resident but very over clorinated which gave us all bad rashes. so only used once which was a sham as reason we stayed there. station close and hotel has shuttle bus to station 3 times an hour which was good over all hotel ok probably not to my taste but very popular with locals we were only english there and a good place to stay away from hustle and bustle of kyoto but easy access as only two stops on train. stayed there 20 years ago and it hadn’t changed since then"

Smile Hotel Otsu Seta
