Top Hotels Near Lake Biwa Canal in Otsu from AU$48

"Wonderful staff. Cool building - a former rice facility. Quiet "

"We traveled to Otsu on a whim and chose Hotel Koo because we wanted to experience what it was like to stay in a traditional Japanese home. This did not disappoint- the accommodations we beautiful, serene and unusual. The town of Otsu is very quiet, but the people are amazing and the walkability down to Lake Biwa is great."

"Great location for having sightseeing around lake Biwa. And easy access to Kyoto via free shuttle bus + train. "

"This hotel is convincingly located right at the subway station. All major tourist attractions are very easy to visit through the subway. it is well maintained and very clean. The breakfast is a must try and voted best in the area. Local restaurants are all within a few minutes walk with a 24 hour chain restaurant across the street to grab late night eats. There is also a shopping mall right beside the hotel with Muji, Uniqlo and etc. Even though it is not at the centre of Kyoto, but I find...

"Beautiful spotless Japanese room overlooking the garden. Excellent toiletries. Rooftop bath. Exceptional staff. Five minute walk to Philosophers Path. Highly recommended."

"Hiro is a real hero! He made our stay so special and an unforgettable experience. We had some travel delays and then extended our trip and he has been so flexible with everything and even gave us a ride to the train station! The place is spotless, good internet, the kitchenette made all the difference with home cooking and it's a central but quiet location. 10/10 for sure!"

"Beautiful location that was conveniently close to the philosophers trail. Interesting design."

"If you can afford to splurge, this place is a treasure. Service like I’ve never experienced, and beautiful rooms and a great location. The restaurants are fancy French, also extremely good, but we didn’t dine in. This place is world-class.😊"

"Very kind staff. They were very helpful in securing restaurant reservations on our behalf. The room is very nice and has a modern Japanese style. I especially loved the outdoor onsen (can be reserved)."

"Beautiful property with the pond and the garden. Hotel is impeccable clean, comfortable and polite everything you would expect from a luxury hotel. Next time we’re in Kyoto we will stay here again. Thank you ! "

"Wow. Just…wow! Beautiful building and interior, very clean rooms. Insanely great shower/tub/sauna bathroom. Spend the extra pittance for the sauna upgrade and thank me later. We arrived early, before the room was expected to be ready, but the front desk tagged and stored our luggage and delivered to the room once it was ready. Very convenient walking distance to Gion area temples and shrines. Easy access to other parts via the bus stop 100 ft away. 帰る方所ですね！"

"Beautiful quiet hotel in a great area. Loved that we could walk to Gion in 15 minutes. The shuttle to Kyoto station was a nice perk. The private Onsen was great as well. "

"Really good place to stay at! Love the vibe and the first thing in the morning is an amazing view!!!"
