What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious and Comfortable

I enjoyed my stay in one of the larger twin rooms, which was surprisingly spacious and offered a small living area with a sofa and coffee table. It was a refreshing change from the cramped quarters that I typically find in business hotels. Overall, the room was clean and functionally designed, making my experience very pleasant.

Satisfying Breakfast Buffet

The breakfast buffet at the hotel was quite satisfactory, featuring a mix of both Japanese and Western dishes. It provided a nice start to my day, although I would have appreciated a few more options for a continental breakfast. Nonetheless, the variety was decent and filled me up for my adventures.

I was pleasantly surprised by the high-speed Wi-Fi at the hotel. It worked better than most hotels I've stayed in Japan, which was a significant plus for me, especially since I needed to stay connected during my trip. Streaming and browsing were seamless, which enhanced my overall stay.

Comfortable Sleeping Environment

Despite some external noise from the nearby train station, I found the bedroom to be relatively quiet for a comfortable night's sleep. The bedding was adequate, and I appreciated the overall cleanliness of the room. It provided a restful environment for my exploration of the area.

The hotel is right next to Otsu Station, making travel easy for exploring Kyoto. The internet was excellent, and the room I had was spacious. However, I was a bit disappointed that the breakfast wasn't included, which made it feel like less value overall. While the staff was kind, the room condition left much to be desired, with visible wear and tear.

I had a rather interesting stay at this hotel near Otsu Station. The room was spacious, which was a pleasant surprise, but the condition left a lot to be desired—peeling wallpaper and stained carpet really detracted from the experience. The location was super convenient for accessing Kyoto, and I enjoyed the local dining options nearby. Unfortunately, the lack of response to my concerns about the room really made this visit less enjoyable than it could have been.
