Have a Lakeside vacation”
The resort is located nearby Biwako which allow us to have a full view of lake and the city when you are staying the high floor room. Don't worry, all the rooms are face to the lake. The room is very big (personally I think it is enough for 4 people stay although it stated it is limited up to 3 people), clean and equipped with all necessary facilities, also the design of room and the floor is just like stay in a boat and it is interesting. Regarding the facilities of the resort, there is a large Onsen and it is also face to the lake, you may have a enjoy with it at night after your day schedule is finished. There are different type of restaurants inside the resort including Japanese and Western, you may choose your favorite if you don't want to eat outside. The resort provides a shuttle bus service travel between Otsu JR station and resort, it take less than 5 minutes or you could choose to walk to nearby Keihan Electric Railway station. It is convenient~!

Fabulous stay ”
Took my boyfriend here for a mini vacation (we live in Wakayama) and we had an amazing time! The rooms are so affordable but all have a stunning view of the lake and mountains. The room was clean and large. The staff at the front desk spoke English well and helped me check in even though my boyfriend spoke Japanese. Parking is included with room price. Round 1 is directly next to the hotel as well as a little park down below. I would stay here again and again!

Astonishing lake view with big room and value for money ”
Wonderful lakeview scene at the hotel room with comfortable bed and very big room. I took an early sun rise photo at the hotel room at 5:00am. Also, free carpark space with good shopping mall and good restaurants nearby. Also found a lot of attractive restaurants for different food with lake view at the hotel. I will definitely come back to this hotel for resort next time.

I love everything at this hotel”
My room has very nice view and comfort facilities. I love everything at this hotel. Furthermore my mobile phone was kept safely when I forgot it somewhere in the hotel. I was hopeless but suddenly turned to be very delightful when I found that it was kept at hotel's front desk. I definitely will come back again.

The best hotel I have ever booked! If I were to visit Kyoto many more times in the future (and I may do so since I LOVE Japan), this will be the hotel I will book every time! Excellent view of the lake during the sunrise and sunset, and the mountainside. Just make sure to ask for a room at the highest floor with a view over Lake Biwa.

We had a wonderful stay at biwako hotel for two days”
Lake Piwa was on part of our itinerary while we planed our Japan trip, after compared a few options we decided to book biwako hotel as it has good location, great view facing lake and comforting onsen, tho we prefer higher floor for better view, but it is not a huge matter. We met a extremely helpful lady at front desk, I only got to see her name tag with "麻子". She offers us a great deal after realizing we were there to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary on 29th, Feb. (By the way, she speaks perfect English) If you have planned to visit Lake Piwa, don't miss out the chance to check this hotel.

Awesome place”
Think this is the nicest and most spacious hotel I have stayed while travelling in Osaka and Kyoto. And an awesome view of Lake Biwa. The only negative part is there is not much food choice around the hotel. But they have a very regular shuttle service to send you to the nearest biwako station where you can have more food and restaurant.

Must stay at Shiga! They represent excellent Japan hospitality with reasonable price!”
I have been to Japan for more than 10times and lakeside more than3. This hotel is the top one in view, room specification, staff quality and CP ratio. Will definitely come again! They are the best representative of the Shiga prefecture!

Great Kyoto leisure experience ”
Biwako hotel made our stay in Kyoto really enjoyable. We liked the location at the lake while still within good proximity to Kyoto main station, free shuttle bus is available every 15 min to the nearest train station. Nice view from each room to the beautiful Biwako lake, spacious onsen to rest after busy day of Kyoto sightseeing. Breakfast offers great selection of traditional and western meals. Cons. The only different thing we would like to experience is the closing hour for dinner at hotel restaurants or having room meal service as there is not so much to find around the hotel. If you are not back at the hotel before 8pm and did not manage to eat outside your only chance is next corner shop or small snack place.

Feels like 5* - quality bed, pillows, cushions, linens, air machine, toilet paper better than everywhere else I've been to in Kansai. Housekeeping not only tops up your items but make sure the basics are topped up + what you've used, also mindful which angle u have left them. Booked here to see Biwako Valley, ski, sightseeing n depended on Otsu Tourist Info Centre for sight seeing recommendations. Sadly they (speak Chinese which I speak too) r not experienced n only suggested 2 typical routes that I didn't enjoy when it was cloudy day n because Otsu City has nothing much but a hike linking to East of Kyoto. Managed to research myself n found an attraction - grass house + hiking to see Lake Biwa at Omihachiman (few JR stops away from JR Otsu). Izakaya straight down the road (don't think is in the map provided by hotel but 2 min walk towards JR Otsu), decent n cheap (many dishes at 380yen). No coin laundry. Huge game centre w/ archery etc right next to hotel w free shuttle from JR Otsu
