Otsu Hotel Guide - Biwako Flower Fountain hotels in Otsu, Japan.

"Wonderful hotel, staff, and location. Would highly recommend "

"The ryokan is very old, please try to enjoy your stay responsibly. The people running it are lovely, and very hospitable. Be sure to have a meal or two there and enjoy the garden, day and night both have great vibes."

"We had a really nice stay at Nohga Hotel Kyoto. The hotel has a great atmosphere, the rooms were clean and well maintained, and the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. One of the highlights was the rooftop—it’s a great space to relax, and the food there was surprisingly good. Overall, a very pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend it."

"This a fantastic hotel/ryokan hybrid with excellent staff, an amazing onsen and a kid friendly vibe. The breakfast buffet is a must and there is daily ice cream in the afternoon in their relaxation room. The location is great, walkable from the underground east exit of the Kyoto station. The hotel is no-shoes and they provide all guests with comfortable pjs to use in your room and around the hotel. They have coin laundry so don’t over pack. Believe the hype, or, better, keep this place a wonderful secret. Come prepared to embrace the Japanese culture of quiet, kindness and beauty."

"All in all, excellent! Choice of Western style breakfast on 1st floor or Japanese on the 2nd. Good walking access to the palace park and the old market street and new shops."

"Quiet rooms in an excellent location for shopping and key sights "

"Loved our room with three beds. It worked perfectly for our family and was so comfy. The property is very beautiful and staff was very helpful. I would definitely stay here again!"

"The breakfast menu was fairly average, all pre-made and not that appetising (in my option). The staff were friendly and helpful enough, but the time to check in was very slow. One of the servers in the bar took our order then preceded to take other orders, and left us for a good 5 minutes sitting at the bar with nothing....so we left. Laundry facilities were good and inexpensive. The room were very very small and we were not able to unback our bags nor even place them where there they weren't in the way. Big negative. The position of the hotel was very good; close to Gion and good restaurants and other shopping. Probably the best aspect of our stay. "

"This is a very special hotel. It’s walking distance to Heian shrine. Lots of good hiking spots near by. The food selection is a little sparse, but there are some good spots near by. The room was very large and we got a view of a cherry tree from our room. Joshua from the staff was very nice and set us up for a great trip."
