Reviews of Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel 4 stars

Lake & Sunrise view in a hotel room.

Nil

The place was amazing. Stunning view, stunning hotel. But there's not much around it. haha...

The view of lake biwa was breathtaking. Day and night view, seeing the sunset and sunrise were splendid.

The location is far from train station. You will be walking 20min and there's no public bus to reach there on your first checkin day. However there is a hotel bus that takes you to Otsu station. There's also not anything near the hotel. Closest non hotel conbini is like 20min walk away.

The room is clean and i loved the amenities except they don’t have a facial wash. Everything is excellent,my family loved it!

Gorgeous view of the lake from room. Easy access to parking. Bigger than expected space. Good amenities. Very good value for money, we had a very comfortable stay for 1 night only.

Breakfast is a little on the pricey side, we were glad we didn't take it also because of the complicated queuing system with indication of congestions. Sounds like a stressful breakfast although we didn't actually try. There are on-site restaurants, but we opted to drive to find a reasonable local eatery for dinner. The room is also a little dated.

It offers amazing lake view and comfortable rooms.

The EV chargers are slow and expensive (¥500 per hour for 6kwh - which is ¥2500 for a measly 30kw of charge, for example). I wish (1) it would be provided to EV users to charge overnight free for hotel guests so they can continue on their journey worry-free, or (2) have rapid fast chargers so guests wouldn’t need to search around the city.

Free upgrade to a suite room.

All was good.

Great lake view.

Location is not convenient while shuttle bus isn’t frequent.

Every room has a lake facing. Can see the Michigan ship come to the dock in the morning. The hotel has a huge swimming pool.

When we arrived (by car), the concierge didn't even bother to help us with the luggage. There is no public bath but there is a bath tub with bath salt provided.

Friendly staff and great view from the room

The view from my room and the room size.

The staff was so arrogant, especially young girl. She was blinking eyes a few times to me and my family members. Not all staff but 1 - 2 young staff.

I like the space and all the complete equipment that the.hotel provided in the rooms.

We had a great stay at Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel on our way to Hiroshima. It’s a large hotel with spacious rooms and beautiful views of the lake. The room size exceeded our expectations, offering plenty of space to relax after a day of travel. Breakfast was excellent, with a wide selection to choose from. We also appreciated the convenience of free parking, which made things very easy as we were traveling by car. There was nothing we disliked during our stay. Everything was smooth and comfortable. Tip for future guests: have dinner at the German restaurant Wurzburg, just a short walk from the hotel and right by the lake. It was a lovely spot to unwind in the evening. Highly recommended for a relaxing stopover or as a base to explore the Lake Biwa area.

Lovely views Staff very helpful Good rooms Breakfast good

Paying for the swimming pool and sunbeds - first hotel I have ever had to do this and it was costly - it really put us off

Amazing view of Lake Biwa! Exceptional hospitality. My second stay at this hotel! Discovered Sakamoto Cable to Enryakuji Temple (World Heritage Site). Fantastic experience!

Decor is bit dated but did not subtract from the experience!
