Very beautiful and authentic interior. Furniture was so comfortable and stylish. Lighting in the room is just perfect to have a relaxed and calming atmosphere. You will find everything you need in the amenities provided. I tried Japanese style breakfast, and it was 10/10. Staff is very helpful and polite. One of the members speak a good English and can advise regarding local restaurants or places to visit. I would highly recommend to stay at this hotel if you wish to experience Japanese hospitality.

We had a great stay at Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel on our way to Hiroshima. It’s a large hotel with spacious rooms and beautiful views of the lake. The room size exceeded our expectations, offering plenty of space to relax after a day of travel. Breakfast was excellent, with a wide selection to choose from. We also appreciated the convenience of free parking, which made things very easy as we were traveling by car. There was nothing we disliked during our stay. Everything was smooth and comfortable. Tip for future guests: have dinner at the German restaurant Wurzburg, just a short walk from the hotel and right by the lake. It was a lovely spot to unwind in the evening. Highly recommended for a relaxing stopover or as a base to explore the Lake Biwa area.

    Enjoy the 1st day in Kyoto.

    Enjoy the 1st day in Kyoto. Do the Hop On Hop Off bus (both Blue and Red Lines), which stops at all the major sites. Then train to Otsu for relaxing stay at Lake Biwa. Go on a sightseeing / luncheon cruise or organised trips - example the cable car at Sakamoto. Plenty of places to eat including 36th floor of Lake Biwa Otsu Princess Hotel with great views.

    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.

    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. 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. Delicious. There was also a lounge with great coffee, drinks and snacks. Compliments to the team. Highly recommended.

    Absolutely perfect kind owner. He surprised us by a letter in our native language and some little gifts. The accomodation is located in calm part of the village near to the train station JR Otsu. There is a shared kitchen with all equipments, shared bathroom with a shower corner. The room where we spent some nights is equipped with an air-con, air-humidifier, up to 3 spots to sleep (one bed and two futons), sofa and coffee table. We really enjoyed our stay here.

    Amazing, comfortable place to stay in. Staffs are all very respectful and polite. The staff will also pick you up from the station (contact free via station's public phone). Omi beef kaiseiki dinner and Japanese breakfast were delicious. Onsen was amazing - very relaxing. Would 100% go there again.
