AnneleenBelgiumNice accommodation, perfect location, nice atmosphere
Well-located hotel, with a view of Hikone Castle from the terrace (my room had a view of the back). Very friendly welcome, welcome drink, very extensive and tasty breakfast. My single room was simple, but you don't need…

大浴場は、正面に彦根城が見えるのだが、湯船に何か浮いている。それが普通か？異常か？分からなかった。

MitchellNew ZealandComfortable with a great Breakfast.
Pretty standard room (mine was a city view) the bed was comofortable and the room was very quiet. The included breakfast was amazing and the complementary drink in the evening was a ncie touch too.
Nothing bad to say.
SeanCanadaAmazing place to stay for cyclists starting Biwaichi in Hikone
The staff were super helpful. I was biking around Biwako and for the information of other would-be cyclists, they will store your bike in a storage room so that it is safe.
The baths are amazing especially for before…
