Amazing
KKimGood hotel if you really want to get away and relax. Do spas and light/ medium sightseeing. It’s about an hour train ride to any major modern shopping stuff.
They serve Japanese style breakfast and western breakfast for extra charge. Make sure to specify which one. For dinner it’s usually Japanese style. And the food was good. I found out a lot of things I did and didn’t like for cuisine.
GGuest UserNestled in a welcoming setting designed for comfort and relaxation, our hotel is a place where thoughtful service and genuine hospitality come together to create an exceptional stay. From the moment guests arrive, they are greeted with warm smiles and attentive care, setting the tone for an experience that feels both effortless and personal.
Our team is dedicated to making every guest feel valued. Whether it’s a smooth check-in, help with luggage, or thoughtful recommendations for local attractions, our staff is always ready to assist with professionalism and kindness. We believe that great service is found in the details—remembering preferences, anticipating needs, and responding promptly to every request.
The hotel offers well-appointed rooms designed to be a peaceful retreat. Clean, comfortable, and tastefully furnished, each room provides a relaxing atmosphere where guests can unwind after a long day. Soft bedding, modern amenities, and careful attention to cleanliness ensure a restful and enjoyable stay.
Dining at the hotel is another highlight. Guests can enjoy delicious meals prepared with care, served by friendly staff who are happy to accommodate special requests. Whether it’s a leisurely breakfast, a quick lunch, or a relaxing dinner, the dining experience reflects the same commitment to quality and service found throughout the hotel.
Beyond comfort and convenience, what truly sets our hotel apart is the sincere desire to make every stay memorable. Business travelers, families, and vacationers alike can expect a calm environment, reliable service, and a team that truly cares. Our goal is simple: to provide not just a place to stay, but a place where guests feel at home and look forward to returning.
GGuest UserRyokusuitei’s environment, service, and facilities were excellent. Our pre-stored luggage was promptly delivered to the room.
The private bath room included breakfast, which was delicious with many options, plus a small stove to grill seafood yourself. While the private bath isn’t completely secluded—people in a building across, though quite far away, can see in—the stunning view of Lake Biwa more than makes up for it.
The large public bath is open nearly 24 hours, featuring a relaxing lounge area afterward, free ice cream, and complimentary coffee in the lobby during the day.
Upon check-in, we received shopping discount coupons that could be used to purchase small towels, scented balms, and storage bags.
GGuest UserFacilities: The room size is quite spacious, with a separate bedroom and dining area. There are also two restrooms, and outside is a private hot spring tub. Overall, the facilities are well-maintained.
Cleanliness: Acceptable.
Environment: Very good. You can see Lake Biwa right from the room. And you absolutely must try the large communal hot spring bath. Especially in winter or on a rainy day, when it's raining or snowing outside and you're soaking in the super warm hot spring – it's incredibly comfortable, truly indescribable.
Service: After exiting the JR station, if you call the hotel, a car will come to pick you up. However, that phone is really well-hidden; it took us a while to find it. The drive to the hotel takes about 10 minutes. The staff's service attitude is very good. They also escort you to your room and thoroughly explain each feature and how to use it. Check-out is at 10 AM, but most hot spring ryokans in Japan have this check-out time.
Dining: We booked the two-meal plan, breakfast and dinner. The variety was quite rich, and the taste was decent, within expectations. Overall, the dining service was pretty good. Room service is also available; the latest you can order late-night snacks is 9:30 PM. Room service food is absolutely delicious! And it's not expensive at all, the prices are the same as outside.
Overall, our stay at this hot spring ryokan was very comfortable. For those who can, I recommend staying two nights. On the second day, you can explore Biwako Valley, which is quite close to the hotel. It definitely won't disappoint (provided the weather is good; if the weather's bad, don't go).
PPingxinjiejieThe Western-style room was spacious, with a large, comfortable bed. The onsen (hot springs) were excellent, with several to choose from, and the area wasn't crowded. The water was excellent, leaving my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. The hotel requires a meal plan; adding dinner upon arrival costs 10,000 yen per person. There are few restaurants nearby, but there's a yakiniku restaurant with excellent beef.
GGTO44New view.
Many things at the room is centralised.
Like when i want cold air con they said only heat is available as its centealized.
I cannot control the hot spring water
If u need it on u need to contact the front desk and same as if you want to turn it off.
ぱぱくぱくじゃすみんIt was great that there were two large public baths for men and two for women, and they were open 24 hours. Thanks to this, the baths weren't crowded at all, even for such a large ryokan. Dinner was served in a grand banquet hall at a designated time, and it was so lavish that the dishes barely fit on the table – everything was delicious! The facilities are quite old, so I did notice noises like the motor and the bathroom fan, but all the staff were very kind, and I had a pleasant stay overall.
AAnonymous UserThis hotel is located right by Lake Biwa, and every room boasts a large balcony where you can take in the stunning lake views. It's truly refreshing and uplifting!
The hotel offers a convenient shuttle bus service right from the JR station, with pretty good frequency. Although you could walk to the hotel, providing a shuttle for this distance really shows their thoughtfulness.
The onsen (hot spring) is definitely a major plus. The water quality, temperature, and ventilation were all perfect for us. Plus, enjoying the outdoor bath with views of Lake Biwa and a gentle breeze, while soaking away the day's fatigue, was just sublime!
Highly recommended; I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Otsu!
GGuest UserThe location is invincible, the scenery is invincible, the service is invincible, five-star recommendation! Will come again next time! Good hardware, few people, comfortable hot springs, rich breakfast, good supper, good lounge, super good service, impeccable.
JJo LaumsGreat value! The room is clean and the semi-open-air bath in the room is hot enough, allowing you to completely relax and enjoy the tranquility. If the room rate does not include meals, there are also restaurants with delicious food. The price is reasonable and affordable. Parking is free outside the hotel, and there are many places to rest in the hotel. Area, overall great!
