Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel
9.2 (768 reviews)

Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel ★★★★★

📍 4 Chome-7-7 Nionohama, Otsu

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

Le Lac Hotel Otsu Ishiyama
8.4 (41 reviews)

Le Lac Hotel Otsu Ishiyama ★★★

📍 9-21 Awazucho, Otsu

"well, i mistakenly choose the smoking room which made me feel very uncomfortable whole night. It's my fault, I don't blame, but the ventilation is sooooo bad that I could always smell the smoking from my next-door neighbor. Others were ok. If you don't mind it's a bit old and you would just stay for a night, this is a good choice."

Biwako Hotel
9.4 (723 reviews)

Biwako Hotel ★★★★★

📍 2-40 Hamamachi, Otsu

"Facilities: A bit old-fashioned but very clean and well-maintained. Cleanliness: Very clean, even cleaner than Mitsui. Environment: Having a balcony is amazing! The air is fresh, the scenery is unbeatable, and taking a walk by the lake during the day is simply blissful. Service: The staff are mostly Japanese and don't speak English, but check-out was super fast and the shuttle bus was very punctual. I hope to have the opportunity to return to this hotel again in the future. It has a large room, a balcony, is very quiet with few people, and the environment is exceptionally beautiful."

SUPER HOTEL Otsu Station
9.1 (52 reviews)

SUPER HOTEL Otsu Station ★★★

📍 3 Chome-2-7 Kyomachi, Otsu

"This is my first time to stay in this super hotel. The hotel is very close to the station and easy to access. The room is big enough for one person and I really like to the big square table in my room. The service is nice and you can select your own pillow. Free soft drink is available in certain period. The variety of the breakfast is not much as other hotel I stayed before. However, the breakfast is good enough for me since it offers the food style I like most - salad, Japanese style egg, different kinds of cooked vegetables, and miso soup. I plan to stay in the same hotel next time."

Hotel Koo Otsuhyakucho Hotels in Otsu

Hotel Koo Otsuhyakucho

"Best: design, facilities, privacy Staying at Hotel Koo’s KOUJIYA was such a treat! The place is like a dream – elegant, cozy, and those designer furniture pieces are everything. The lighting? Super hygge, giving off the warmest vibes. This Machiya suite is a total surprise package. From the outside, it's low-key and so unassuming but inside, it's a luxury haven. The kitchen is a personal favorite, connected to the dining area where you can see the mini garden. Actually you can view the garden from the bedroom and bathroom too, thanks to some clever glass magic. Amazing design!! I think it’s perfect for couples/duo. It's not just a hotel; it feels like a real home, and the local vibe of the neighborhood is the cherry on top. Can't wait to be back and try out the other machiya suites."

Hotel ab Shiga Hotels in Otsu

Hotel ab Shiga

"Ok. First of all leave your expectations at home expecting hotel level service. Once you've done that if you want a cheap but clean place to stay this is it. This is a seinenkan - a facility for youth and youth-related organizations to conduct independent study and recreational activities, many of which have basic accommodation facilities but higher grade facilities than youth hostels. They are located all over Japan. I stayed in a tatami mat room on a floor with shared toilet facilities. The ground floor has a large communal bath - obviously separate for male and females. They have lights out at 11 p.m. and guests must return by the same time. There is a very modern cafe onsite serving cheap breakfasts (see photos) but the cafe closes by 6 p.m. There is a convenience store 10 minutes walk away so I suggest you buy snacks and beverages en route from JR Ishiyama station. For dinner, there is a family restaurant - good value and okay food - about 6 minutes walk away. The seinenkan is located on a small island by a historic bridge. The views of the river inlet flowing into the main Lake Biwa is relaxing, lots of bird wildlife, and lots of rowers (the seinenkan is a water sports facility too). and the sunrise and sunset views are lovely. The staff are very kind. It cost me ¥5,500 for one night and I will stay there again if I have the opportunity."

"It's less than 50 meters from the subway, very convenient, and the accommodation conditions are not bad. The only thing is that it is not recommended to book breakfast, it's better to go out by yourself, everything else is good"
