Hotels near Hikone Castle, Hikone

Great service from all the staff. The onsen is high class and luxurious . Breakfast is plentiful

My room was smaller than I expected, (typical Japanese small), but very clean and comfortable. On the other hand, the bathroom was bigger than what you get in a lot of Japanese hotels, which I appreciated. From my room, I didn't have a view of the castle, but rather of the city, which was OK with me. You get a nice view of the castle every time you go to take the elevator, or while enjoying your free drink in the lounge. The public bath also wasn't particularly spacious, but when I went, I was the only one there, and soaking in the bath with the nice view of the castle was a real treat. I give high marks to the staff (front desk & restaurant). They were all very pleasant and helpful. My Japanese is good, and I don't need English from the staff, but the English support here seems sufficient, so if you don't know much or any Japanese, you should still be fine. The breakfast was a real highlight. My favorites were the made-on-the-spot tempura, and the "chef's special curry", but truly everything that I had from the nice variety of options was fresh and very tasty. The hotel's location is perfect, right next to the castle. And the walk from the station, which was only about 6 or 7 minutes, was a little shorter than I thought it would be, which was a blessing because it was the middle of August and very hot. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Staff was very engaged and positive

Very clean with friendly and helpful staff.

Great location almost next to Hikone Train Station. Breakfast was decent. Lots of great places to eat at around the corner. Even laundry facilities.
