最高のロケーション
Pros:

彦根城の東隣にあり、エレベーターを上がったところから見る桜と堀、遠くに見える彦根城が最高に美しかったです。スタッフさんは皆さんとても親切でした。お花見の激混みシーズンでも宿泊客に駐車場を確保くださってとても助かりました。

Cons:

特にありません。

Stunning cherry blossom viewing right in front of the hotel
Pros:

The hotel was located right in front of the cherry blossoms tress over the Castle moat. With them in full bloom, nothing can be more beautiful and pleasant. Highly recommend for cherry blossom viewing. The hotel restaurant serves great Omi beef cuisine.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Liegt sehr schön an Burg Hikone, sogar mit entsprechender Aussicht aus dem Onsen. Abends steht eine Lounge mit Getränken zur Verfügung.
Sehr gutes Frühstücksbuffet aus dem angeschlossenem Restaurant (gehobener Standard).

Cons:

Das Onsen beschränkt sich auf zwei Becken. Bei "Resort & Spa" hätte ich noch mit Außenbereich und Sauna gerechnet.

Ein traumhafter Ort, um die Kirschblüte zu erleben
Pros:

Eine fabelhafte Unterkunft direkt bei der Burg mit schöner Aussicht, umfangreiches japanisches Frühstück und sehr hilfsbereitem, freundlichen Personal. Im heißen Bad mit Blick auf die Burg konnten wir den Tag gut ausklingen lassen. Der Bahnhof in der Nähe ermöglicht einen Tagesausflug nach Kyoto. Wir waren zur Kirschblüte da und es hat sich gelohnt.

Great location, I'd come back around Sakura seasons!
Pros:

Convenient location and reasonable price

Cons:

Onsen was smaller than expected but there weren't too many people so I was ok. It might be busy around peak Sakura seasons.

ここは別格、また来たい
Pros:

朝食、
量、内容、スタッフの対応すべて素晴らしい。

Cons:

あまり求めすぎるの控えたいですが、お茶が粉末よりはティーバッグのほうが好みです。ゴミ削減の観点から理解できます。

Pros:

お風呂上がりに飲めるフリードリンク。

Cons:

フロントの中年男性が、高額のお部屋利用者と差別されているのが分かる対応。そもそも一万円台で泊まる人は客と思ってないんだろうなぁという対応で、二度と泊まりたくないです。部屋に入ってら部屋の電気は手動でつけるのもビックリした。

Pros:

地點很好，就正面對彥根城，每天晚上坐在Lounge 喝著酒或飲料，看著彥根城非常愜意。大浴池也是面對彥根城。從JR車站走來大約要10多分鐘，但早上有接駁車送到車站。

Cons:

房間有點小，行李箱攤不開。
