Guest Reviews
I consider myself lucky to have found Biwako Hotel:
-A very decent hotel with good facilities: spacious room with all needed supplies. A good balcony with a fantastic view of the lake! I also enjoyed the hot bath place and the restaurants.how ideal for relaxation!
-Very reasonably price.
-The service team is excellent, and they tried their best to assist me.
-It’s convenient to Kyoto, yet it’s in such a serenity. Also comparatively closer to Miho Museum(50 m by car).
I’d like to come again!
Not really, yet, I wish there could be a gym.
酒店臨湖，風景絕美，可在湖邊散步，又可在房間欣賞花噴水。周邊食肆選擇多，酒店的意大利餐廳水準出色，豐儉由人。職員有禮，服務周到。

まずロケーションが最高でした。
お部屋をupグレードして頂きました。
朝食付きのプランでしたが
ビュッフェも、スタッフの対応も
素晴らしいと思えるお宿です！
あえて言うのであれば。
帰りの際の他の部屋の清掃時間とかぶり
清掃の人との交差するタイミングが
あり、出来たら清掃している所を見えない
ように配慮があれば。
ロケーションが最高❗
駐車場の案内がよく分からなかった。
琵琶湖の眺め‼︎
ストレスのないエレベーター‼︎(ほとんど待たない)
大浴場の充実したコスメ！
親切なスタッフ‼︎(フロント、送迎の方含め全員)
フロントスタッフの制服がスタイリッシュ
外国人(アジア系)の声が部屋まで聞こえた事
外国人に合わせたのか？ベッド、トイレ座面の位置が高い(還暦過、身長150の私には…)
高級なコーヒーマシン…掃除大変そう
コインランドリーが無い事(ホテルだから仕方が無い…)
洗面所鏡に椅子が欲しい
1人客とグループ旅の部屋を隔てて欲しい
View of the harbour was excellent.
広くて清潔感のある部屋でした
扉の開け閉めの時キィーと音が出る
Nice room, onsen and breakfast and helpful staff at front desk
Dinner experience- we had booked but waiter said the wait would be too long at that time and wanted us to come later. We ended up ordering earlier because we didn’t want to eat late and then it came quickly. Very weird experience

景色が最高だった。大浴場が広々として良かった。朝ご飯が美味しかった。
近くにご飯を食べられるところが少ない。
What an amazing hotel right on the edge of Lake Biwa with stunning views over the lake from our room. The room was large and very clean. The bathroom was gorgeous and we also had a comfortable seating area. All staff were welcoming, polite and helpful. There is also a station shuttle bus that we used and the driver was friendly. Just outside Kyoto with great train links and only 40 mins from Osaka. Highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay again.
