The 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.
This 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.
Hikone is a very small place anyway, some people who comments this hotel was good and 7 minutes from JR train station, true but also want to tell all hotels around are from 5 to 10 minutes. Not a complaint but if because of this to comment hotel location is good is not very reasonable.
Anyway, the only two complaints were : No lift when you check in, you need to carry your big luggage walked up stairs. (indeed there is lift for check out and pay attention to walk up and tell hotel staff to open the lift for your check in). And hotel staff will call you definately to remind you your check out time is 10am even it's just 10:10am.
Except these, nothing big to complain. One thing good is you dont see any individual traveler from the Mainland China nor HOng Kong (except myself) travelling alone in this city (except travel tour) so why not to go there for a day to enjoy a quiet night rather to hear noisy Mainland Chinese people like in Kyoto.
needed 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!!
