Great value. We probably visited during the off peak season as the entire area was quiet. The hotel is conveniently located by the lake with a supermarket just down the street and a shuttle bus which brings guests to and from Otsu station. Rioms were clean and we got upgraded to a bigger room which was good for our family. View from the room was great too!

It has the most spectacular views over the lake! Was peaceful and beautiful. We loved the buffet breakfast each morning as there weren't cafes for brekky close by, but do not recommend the buffet dinner - was very overpriced for what you got. There are great, cheaper and more delicious restaurant choices nearby. The regular bus transfer to the station was very helpful! Used it most days.

I stayed 4 nights. It was the beginning of September, a terribly hot month in Japan. I had planned to spend the day swimming in the pool, but it was closed on weekdays. I could not swim at all. The size of the room and the view were wonderful.
