Hôtels avec sources thermales de Préfecture de Shiga, Japon

The hotel was a little dated but it had a lovely onsen and family games eg air hockey, carom board, ping pong, and a laundromat that always had free machines! There are only a handful of restaurants around so book the breakfast and dinner in the hotel when you are booking as going there for dinner without a reservation will cost you a whopping S$92 per adult. The spread was not bad but not great. There are a gang of chonky cats in the nearby park and an amazing view of Lake Biwa. You can catch the sunset from the lounge while enjoying some complimentary drinks and tidbits. The nearest restaurant El Ocho is a homey Spanish restaurant - really good food!

Ryokusuitei’s environment, service, and facilities were excellent. Our pre-stored luggage was promptly delivered to the room. The private bath room included breakfast, which was delicious with many options, plus a small stove to grill seafood yourself. While the private bath isn’t completely secluded—people in a building across, though quite far away, can see in—the stunning view of Lake Biwa more than makes up for it. The large public bath is open nearly 24 hours, featuring a relaxing lounge area afterward, free ice cream, and complimentary coffee in the lobby during the day. Upon check-in, we received shopping discount coupons that could be used to purchase small towels, scented balms, and storage bags.

Le service est très bon, très propre, la chambre et la salle de bain sont parfaites. Mais vu le prix, le petit-déjeuner et le dîner inclus sont vraiment mauvais, voire ne conviennent pas aux chinois. Il est recommandé que si la différence de prix est trop importante, passez simplement la nuit sans repas.

L'hôtel est situé directement sur les rives du lac Biwa, et chaque chambre dispose d'un grand balcon offrant une vue panoramique imprenable sur le lac ! C'est tout simplement époustouflant ! Une navette gratuite, avec une fréquence appréciable, se trouve juste en face de la gare JR. Bien qu'il soit possible de se rendre à pied à l'hôtel, la mise à disposition d'une navette pour une si courte distance est une excellente idée. L'onsen (source thermale) de l'hôtel est un atout majeur. La qualité de l'eau, sa température et la ventilation répondaient parfaitement à nos attentes. Il y a également un bain extérieur ; se prélasser dans l'onsen tout en profitant du magnifique paysage du lac Biwa et de la brise lacustre était incroyablement relaxant, nous libérant de toute la fatigue de la journée ! Je recommande vivement cet hôtel ! Je le choisirai sans hésiter lors de mon prochain séjour à Otsu !

Hotel is fancy and clean. Love the Japanese style room and also the hot spring included in the hotel. We check-in late at 8pm and we felt warm welcome by the concierge staff as the staff helped collect our luggage’s and arrange sending them to our room. The check-in staff are inflexible on the late check-out request and she seems only wants to sell the membership account. It’s a bit hard feeling of the way she tell us a BIG NO if we don’t join the membership for the late check-out. End up we didn’t request it anymore as we didn’t like been “force” to do so.

La position de l'hôtel est particulièrement particulière. Dans le village, il y a un dîner et un petit-déjeuner près du lac de Liu. Le dîner est un joli agréable local. Le petit-déjeuner est une nourriture traditionnelle. L'hôtel est très propre, c'est-à-dire les installations sont vieilles, les chambres publiques, la chaleur extérieure peut se déplacer à regarder l'espace étoile, et l'ensemble de notre famille vit, La situation est rare pour des raisons, la salle de bain est un peu inconvenante à l'extérieur de la maison, le service est très enthousiasmé japonais très gentil.

It was a great stay at this ryokan! The hotel is able to arrange a car to fetch you from the JR station. You can call them using a dedicated phone at the station which is used to contact the different ryokans. The car arrived in 10mins or so. The ride to the ryokan was also less than 10mins. The hotel also fetched us to the station on the last day of our stay. The ryokan itself is homely and cozy. We were greeted by an english speaking staff who introduced us to the amenities of the ryokan. There was also a nice welcome tea and matcha chocolate. Our bags were brought to our room as well during this time. The room is spacious and cozy. The hotel prepared 2 welcome biscuits in the room which was a nice personal touch. The room has a nice living room and a great view of Lake Biwa. Recommend to catch the sunrise over the lake! There are 2 normal beds as well as futon beds (need to set up yourself). Both are comfortable. The hotel also prepared pretty yukata for both female and male guests which you can wear during the stay. There are 4 different designs for ladies, and one design for the guys. You can request for different size if the one in the room doesn’t fit you. There is also a full length mirror and a mini dressing area at the side of the living room. It was fun dressing up in the yukata! The toilet, basin, shower and hot tub areas are all separate. The toilet is a little small, but the basin and mirror area is very spacious. The shower area is quite small as well and the shower head is rather low so you need to hold the shower head if you wish to wash up while standing. There is a small stool given for you to sit down though. The hot tub area is semi-outdoor and you can see Lake Biwa. But it is quite small (only good for one person). It was too cold so we didn’t use the hot tub. Instead, we booked the private onsen for 50mins. The private onsen has a private toilet and dressing area which is equipped with hairdryer, body lotion etc. There is a water dispenser as well if you need to hydrate yourself. The onsen area has a washing area, and the hot tub area is spacious for 2 person. There are privacy screens around the onsen area but there is a small gap to let in cold air for ventilation. Wish there is a good view from the private onsen but it was still enjoyable! Dinner and breakfast was Kaiseki style, and the meals were one of the highlights for my husband and I. We really enjoyed the courses which are clean tasting yet wholesome, fresh and flavourful. It was such a sumptuous treat! The ryokan also has a souvenir shop if you wish to buy anything back. Overall, my husband and I really enjoyed the stay here and we agreed this was one of the main highlights of our 12 days trip in Japan. Highly recommend!

L'environnement et les chambres de l'hôtel sont très beaux et peuvent profiter du beau paysage naturel. Bien qu'il n'y ait pas de magasins confortables près de l'hôtel, il y a des choix de boissons différents à l'hôtel. Bien que le personnel de l'hôtel ne soit pas très conscient de l'anglais, et ils ont une attitude de service très amical, un bon endroit pour se détendre en vacances

The services are good and there is free pick up from railway station.

I was thoroughly impressed by the hotel's onsen, which offered a truly relaxing experience. The only downside is its somewhat remote location, making it a bit far from other attractions. However, this is compensated by the superb view from the room, which provides a breathtaking and serene backdrop.
