Top Otsu Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and comfortable place to stay in Kyoto in a convenient location!"

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

10/10 Excellent

"Unusually large room for Japanese hotel, appreciated spa bath after long hot day. Locker system for luggage storage is secure and efficient (better than stacked out in open lobby). Didn’t have breakfast but it looked nice. Spacious lounge and lobby. So convenient across from Kyoto station. Will definitely recommend and stay here again."

Richmond Hotel Premier Kyoto Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"I place to stay. My family and I (party of 10 people) and we all had a blast. The hotel cleanliness and organization top notch. Staff well trained, humble, knowledgeable, friendly, humble, there are many good qualities that I’ll be writing a lot. I definitely recommend you to check them out."

Toyoko Inn Kyoto Biwako Otsu

10/10 Excellent

"Toyoko Hotels are usually great. They are clean, convenient, and affordable, and they tend to have lots of useful amenities or people who might have forgotten to bring something like a toothbrush or razor. This particular hotel has a really convenient location that's a short walk from several train stations and from a couple of very charming and pleasant shopping arcades. Miidera (三井寺) and Lake Biwa (琵琶湖) are also manageable walks. Otsu is a lovely and underrated city, and this hotel is in a really nice part of the city."

Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and quite large, much larger than the typical Japanese hotel room. We were on a high floor, and the view was beautiful. The breakfast buffet is fine but not that extensive. For us, the highlight was the front desk staff, which made several calls for us to work out an unexpected difficulty (we don't speak Japanese). They were absolutely fantastic. We can't thank them enough."
