Otsu Biwako Terrace Hotels

"Hotel is in a great central location! Close by to Pontocho, Gion and train station. The canal next to the hotel was so beautiful with cherry blossoms and willow trees. Comfy beds and cozy rooms. The breakfast buffet was good also. Note that the hotel's restaurant closes by 3 pm. Would definitely recommend this hotel!"

"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."

"The hotel is truly spectacular, the most beautifully designed communal areas. The staff were incredible throughout. Highly recommend."

"Breakfast was fresh with great variety. Staff were very polite and hotel room immaculately clean"

"A very good hotel, ideally located in central Kyoto, just steps from the river, Nishiki Market, and a covered shopping street. The staff were pleasant and helpful, and the room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The bed and pillows are firm, but I personally slept very well. My only critic is the laundry room, which is much too small for the size of the hotel. I had difficulty accessing a dryer before hours and had to hang my clothes in the room without having access to a drying racks."

"Good!"

"Staff is friendly. Room is spacious and clean. Location is perfect right beside train station entrance. Easy access. Will hold you belongings if you get there early and even if you checked out to roam around. Highly recommend"

"4-star rated, but no restaurant on premises, no room service, no toiletries in my bathroom, no water bottles in room, no view from my room except a tall brick wall, room noise from outside of hotel room, restaurants nearby but not very good, staff not very helpful. Not recommended!"

"This very modern hotel had a large and clean onsen that was usually empty as most guests at the hotel were foreigners. The room was well sized with nice amenities and features. All the staff were friendly. The location of the hotel was very convenient to public transport and shopping. While the communal microwave could do with a replacement, I appreciated and made use of the vending machines, laundry and ice machine."
