A nice hotel for a good price!
Posted 14 Jul 2018 on HotelsThe hotel is centrally located in Hikone. The staff were amazing and so accommodating. A good breakfast came with the room. Free bike rental (just a deposit while you have the bike). Room was clean as well.

Straightforward and inexpensive
Posted 26 Jan 2016 on HotelsThis is a typical Japanese small business hotel. Room and bathroom are, therefore, also small. The room has a fridge, tea maker, and large flat-screen TV. The complex is clean. Front desk is well attended and friendly. Limited English is spoken. And I had no problems communicating.
Several small restaurants close by.
Groceries can be bought across the corner in a tiny mall. Hikone Castle is a 10 minute walk towards Lake Biwa.
Commuting to nearby firms for business is easy via train.
There are coin-operated washers and dryers in the first floor utility room.

Japanese Experience
Posted 14 May 2015 on Hotelsneeded a place to stay for a reasonable price before school started and this hotel was very nice. Room was clean and the staff helped me even though I didn't speak the language. Also it was near the station so many shops and landmarks nearby. Will definitely stay here again!!

Convenient budget hotel
Posted 3 Nov 2014
Pros: Location to station and castle - all within walking distance.
Cons: English speaking staff.
Location: Main highlight would be the castle and surrounds.
Few mins walk from the station. Exterior is not flash and consistent with most business/budget hotels, the room is smallish, has limited luggage storage space though neat and functional.
Found a wonderful restaurant on the main street (heading from the station to the castle on the right side called Uomaru). Menu is Japanese only though a couple of staff speak basic English (I just asked for their recommendations). The bbq beef and assorted sashimi excellent.

Good location for short stay
Posted 8 Dec 2013 on HotelsThe hotel is nothing special, the usual small cell and average breakfast. Location is great, nice izakaya nearby, close to the station and an easy pleasant walk to the castle which is really worth a couple of hours.
