    The accommodation at Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel was relaxing and the setting is favourable. The hotel is conveniently located near a convenience store and the Kyoto train station, making it easy to access main attractions. I was very impressed by the double room I stayed in.

    Our stay at the Prince Hotel was exceptional. The stunning view of Lake Biwa from our room on the 34th floor was absolutely breathtaking. The comfortable bed ensured a good night's sleep. The staff were friendly and courteous, especially the helpful lady at the porter service. The hotel's location near a park and lakeside walkways provided a peaceful and scenic atmosphere. The free shuttle service to and from Otsu Station was convenient for our business travels.

    Felt like VIPs, couldn't find a reason to complain.

    The food here is top-notch, the room is spacious and has large windows that are a little fogged up but add to the charm. the bed sheets are great quality and the view is simply amazing. Additionally, there's an electric kettle and a fridge available for use. 🌟

    is a modern and spectacular hotel, located on the shores of Lake Biwa and with magnificent views over it. rooms are big (considering the Japanese standards we could almost describe them as huge) and beds are wide and very comfortable. parking lot is paid, outside and adjacent to the hotel. There is a good restaurant on the top floor (or one of the last floors). We dine on a selection of high quality sushi and sashimi (although the price was rather high). hotel is on the outskirts of Kyoto, you can easily get to the city by local train.

    From the nearest train station to the hotel, it is only a 10 minute train ride to downtown Kyoto (Kyoto Station); the problem is that the closest station to the hotel is quite far away. The hotel offers a free transfer service to/from that station (I don't remember if every half hour or every 20 minutes) but with the disadvantage that the last transfer from the station to the hotel is relatively early (around 9pm).

    Stunning lake views, spacious suite room, and a large gift shop. The bar overlooking the lake is wonderful with great drinks. The shuttle service to and from the station was reliable. Overall I highly recommend this hotel.

    We had a fantastic stay at a hotel in this city. The staff at the front desk and the doorman were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, clean, and had a great panoramic view of the lake. The hotel had a convenience store, which was a great addition for tourists like us. The shuttle bus to and from the train station was convenient, although we opted for taxis due to the timetable. The location was perfect for enjoying a nice long walk along the lakeside and there was a sports park nearby with tennis courts.

    Couldn't stay longer.
