The comfort level of the room we booked and stayed in was phenomenal. Almost perfect. The views from the private balcony of the room were amazing and the amount of privacy we had was ideal. My partner really enjoyed the public bath/spa/sauna. The snacks and wine provided during the happy hour were awesome!

    From my perspective, there wasn't much to do within a mile walk of the property. Only one restaurant off site in that mile two convenience stores and if you walk a bit further a pretty mellow "redlight" district

    Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh.

    Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh. But go to have a walk behind the hotel. The countryside is like a Miyazaki movie getting real ! You can go near from there : temples, beach, ski station with incredible view… But with the hotel’s shuttle and the station you have Kyoto, very near, Nara, Osaka a little farther. You’ve got all Kansaï by JR… A good tip : when you go to the station to Shirahige shrine, don’t take bus but walk with GPS. The way is just incredible with village, other shrines so quiet and monkey looking at you from the forest behind rice fields…

    Otsu, located near Kyoto, is another treasure place in Japan. Faced to Biwa lake it has many historical monument and cultural hotspots. In summer the big firework event is so famous to attract many people. In Biwako Hall many world class concerts and plays are performed. Local fishes and sakes are another charm for visitors. Once you come here you cannot help missing this unforgettable city.

    At first I thought I might be bored but there’s so much to do! It’s a little difficult to travel from place to place; lots of walking. But there’s lots of history, friendly people, and beautiful nature.

    Otsu is a great location to get away from the city life of Japan. It is quite peaceful here and is located next to a large lake (lake biwa) which is perfect for fishing enthusiasts. Overall, this location is clean and quiet, different from the bustling cities of Japan and i would recommend this place to those who enjoy a scenic walk and a calm environment.

    Beautiful spot near the lake.

    Beautiful spot near the lake. Perfect for those that want to stay a little out of the hustle and bussle, in perhaps a bigger / better value for money hotel, but still within close proximity to Kyoto.

    Huge room size and the bed is just facing towards the lake. The view is magnificent. Breakfast is great with lots of food option. Bike rental available (normal bike & electric bike). The hotel also provide shuttle bus service to Otsu Station (3 bus every hour). The Pier is just few steps from hotel and they offer 20% off for cruise ticket.

    This place is run by a very helpful Japanese couple. It's spacious, accommodating, clean, affordable and conveniently located for exploring southern lake Biwa. You can order breakfast to start your day, and they even included delicious homemade dessert on our last morning there. They also gave us great advice on the best places to visit.

    The Lake Biwa Otsū Prince Hotel is the kind of hotel where many Japanese come for their weddings, it hence has an impressive reception, views over Lake Biwa and high end restaurants. Rooms are very large, with great views of the lake (our room was on the 32nd floor) and comfortable beds. The area is extremely romantic.

    The place was incredibly peaceful. It's situated near Bodai Temple, and in the morning, I accompanied some people in their worship rituals at the temple. Experiencing this Japanese-style garden worship was truly a new and enriching experience for me.

    Real way of Japanese life with an Onsen for bathroom with Japanese people, living like them. Eating exactly like them. Wearing the yukata. The shuttle to go to the station, the vintage of the hotel, the free power plate. I want to go back.

    Pretty meh kinda place, so, didn't like anything in particular. That being said, it's not that the place is bad, there's just nothing decent/notable about this accommodation compared to the many other places I've stayed at in Japan.

    It has a very retro feels of the late 80 and early 90 infrastructure. The room was a fusion of old and new and it really shows. Very authentic Japanese experience in a field of other competitive hotels around Lake Biwa area
