Hotels near Komponchudo, Otsu

I would have said that we had a wonderful stay: loved the peaceful environment, the food, the morning service…. But then they started the morning with a team of workers going through the temple grounds with deafening leaf blowing machines! Why do they disturb the peace like this? The temple claims to be environmentally conscious, but these machines are noisy, irritating, wasteful and bad for the environment. It made me leave the place in a bed mood.

Biwako Ryokusuitei was an absolute treat. We had a bit of a wobble at Ogoto-Onsen station as I couldn't find a phone, but luckily we spotted the hotel shuttle. The driver was lovely and made us feel welcome right from the off. The reception staff were brilliant, really friendly and gave us a proper run-through of the place. Housekeeping was spot on too they were right on the ball and had our tatami mats all ready for us while we were away at dinner. The real stars, though, were the dining staff. They were incredibly professional and took the time to explain exactly what we were eating and how to enjoy each dish. Both breakfast and dinner were top-notch 😋I'm still thinking about that food now! A proper (home away from home) experience

The hotel environment is beautiful, and the rooms are spacious and very clean. The hot springs are incredibly comfortable. There's also a shuttle service available from the station to the hotel. The food is plentiful, and the explanations were very detailed (though you'll still need to translate any Japanese yourself 😝😅).

Room is very spacious, comes with 2 sets of facial acre products both for man and woman There's even a 6 CD player with preloaded CDs inside ranging from Jazz to sentimental songs for your relaxation Food are delicious and nicely decorated Every day it comes with some free local snacks like financiers and biscuits One incident that didn't quite went well is early morning after breakfast As we are rushing to head out before housekeeping and there's no more water in the room, we return to the dinning hall and try to ask the staff to help to fill up some water in their provided water bottle. one lady took over the bottle and head to the kitchen to fill up, but we can hear she's complaining to her colleagues about it. Shortly, while handing over the bottle, she signal us to leave. We did so but once just stepped out, she simply slams the dinning hall shut! I was surprised by her reaction. It was quite rude of her to do that. If it's against the regulation, they can rightly say so and communicate upfront than doing this repulsive reaction Overall, a nice stay amid a slight mark on the service rendered

Wanting to experience a Japanese hot spring hotel, I chose this homestay, and the result was far beyond my expectations. I recommend everyone to come to this hotel. The owner is a couple who are very enthusiastic. You can use bicycles for free, help with luggage, and carefully introduce how to use the facilities and help choose yukata. The service is great. Environment: I thought it was a public bathroom, but it was very clean. There was fragrance in the air, music was played, and there was the sound of running water. The floor was very clean, and there was not even a hair. In such a hot summer, all the public areas are air-conditioned, which is very cool. The feeling of taking a hot spring bath is quite good. There is a hot spring in a small bath, which is the feeling of a very authentic Japanese hot spring hotel. The towels you need, as well as makeup remover, hair dryer, perm stuff, and shampoo and bath stuff are all available, and they are all good brands. It can be seen that they are very attentive. The most important thing is that the price-performance ratio is extremely suitable. Two dinners for two people, two breakfasts and one night's accommodation only cost more than 700 yuan, which is great. If you stay here, it is recommended to order a dinner, or breakfast at the breakfast shop. The dinner is more Japanese and delicious. In addition, it is about a ten-minute walk from the bus station, which is a good distance.

If there is a suitcase, it is recommended to take a taxi from the station, because the outbound journey is on Shizai Road. The room is so comfortable and quiet, but the window of the room is opposite the hotel door. When there is a car at night, there will be light in the room. The hotel has a package to breakfast, it is not wrong. For dinner, I felt that the CP value was not high and I was not enough, so I went to the nearby 7 to buy food. During the period, the hotel staff were very polite, especially the manager. 

Since there is a curfew at 23:00, I can't recommend it at all if you want to enjoy nightlife, but the room is large 々, the desk is large, the windows are large, so it is bright and quiet. Recommended for those who want to study or write in the room. The building is quite a walk from the entrance of the site, and it is dim at night and there is no street at all, so if you are uneasy, check in early. The convenience store is far away, so it is better to stop by first.

I stayed for sightseeing in Hiei Sakamoto. Since I live in Osaka, I'm used to seeing Lake Biwa, but when I stand on the shore of the lake, I can feel the wonderfulness. The night view of the city on the opposite shore (Kusatsu or something?) was beautiful at night. The building is quite old, but the room is super clean! The chairs and washbasins in the bathroom were smooth, the toilet folder was shiny, the dryer cord was wrapped cleanly without any madness, and the bedding on the bed was really comfortable. Speaking of cleanliness, the star ５ is not enough at all. I've seen the perfectly arranged room for the first time in a long time. Access to the inn is accessible by bus from Otsu station as well as from JR Karasaki station or taxi. Although the number is small, you can arrive in ３ minutes on foot from the nearest bus stop (Ishikawa Town).

I booked the VIP room and it was huge! It really felt like a traditional ryokan, which was superb! Having the onsen right in the room was also fantastic, honestly. I absolutely loved my stay here. It was so relaxing, and the lake view was just magnificent. Since I'll be in Kyoto for the next few days, I'm definitely coming back for another night to enjoy the onsen and the stunning view of Lake Biwa again.

Facilities: A bit old-fashioned but very clean and well-maintained. Cleanliness: Very clean, even cleaner than Mitsui. Environment: Having a balcony is amazing! The air is fresh, the scenery is unbeatable, and taking a walk by the lake during the day is simply blissful. Service: The staff are mostly Japanese and don't speak English, but check-out was super fast and the shuttle bus was very punctual. I hope to have the opportunity to return to this hotel again in the future. It has a large room, a balcony, is very quiet with few people, and the environment is exceptionally beautiful.
