📍 4 Chome-7-7 Nionohama, Otsu

Scenic lakeside rooms with panoramic views of Lake Biwa, swimming pools, kid-friendly activities, and easy access to Otsu’s attractions.

Smile Hotel Otsu Seta
8.6 (71 reviews)

Smile Hotel Otsu Seta ★★★

📍 Ogaya, 1 Chome−13−11 スマイルホテル大津瀬田, Otsu

"The lady receptionist is very helpful and kind. Much appreciated for your help! In general, the hotel situates for just a 2-minute distance from Seta JR Station, and it takes around ~20min travelling time from/to Kyoto. Reasonable facilities given the price is economic. Thank you for the hospitality."

Biwako Hotel
9.4 (714 reviews)

Biwako Hotel ★★★★★

📍 2-40 Hamamachi, Otsu

"It's an older, more established Japanese hotel, and the service was pretty good. They have a shuttle bus to and from the train station, and you can enjoy the hot springs in the evening, although the indoor and outdoor baths are relatively small. Walking along the lake is very pleasant. It's not super convenient for getting to various attractions, but transportation around Lake Biwa isn't particularly convenient in general. The easiest way to get around is by chartering a car or driving yourself. Overall, it offers decent value for money."

Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel ★★★★★
"the location is convenient with Aeon supermarket and restaurants nearby. hotel room is large and clean. Though the hotel design is kind of conventional old hotel, I would accept that given its price , room size and location. the best part of the hotel is the view, overlooking the Lake Biwa. If you can manage to wake up early, you are able to see the sunrise from your room. breakfast is unexpectedly good. Not to mention about the nice lake view from the restaurant, the variety and quality of food is good. highly recommended for its value for money."

Biwako Hotel ★★★★★
"This is an excellent, well-established hotel with great service, a fantastic breakfast, and a superb location. Every room faces Lake Biwa, so you get stunning lake views whether your eyes are open or closed. The waterside park downstairs is perfect for an evening stroll. It's conveniently located between two stations on the Keihan Line, making public transport very accessible. Plus, there's a free shuttle bus to Otsu Station. Overall, I'd love to bring my parents here next time."

"The service was excellent, and the interior and exterior spaces were strikingly different. The interior had a traditional and artistic feel, and the hotel's upper floors and outdoor hot springs offered views of Lake Biwa. The food was surprisingly delicious and delightful. I would definitely come back! 👍🏻"

Biwako Ryokusuitei ★★★★
"Stepping out of JR Ogoto-onsen Station, I spotted the shuttle bus across the street, waiting at a red light. I quickly waved, and to my surprise, the driver motioned for me to wait, then circled back to pick us up – incredibly grateful for that! 😊 The drive to the hotel took about 5 minutes. Upon entering the lobby, I noticed a slightly odd smell. The staff asked us to take a seat in the lobby. After checking us in and confirming our meal times, they showed us to our room. There was no odd smell in the room or restaurant areas. They even helped with our luggage – truly excellent service. The private hot spring in the room had continuously flowing water; I'm not sure if it's recirculated, but you can see Lake Biwa from there. The summer dinner cuisine was delicious! 😋"
