Hotel berhampiran おとめの滝, Konan

Staff was helpful and stored my stuff for a day while I biked around lake Biwa.

所用で家族と2泊しました。立地条件から駅近のこちらを選択しましたが、部屋はビジネスホテルタイプで、決して広いわけではありません。清潔には保たれてますか設備の老朽化は否めずに部屋に入り色々目につく箇所がありました。2連泊ですが1泊ずつ予約したためかカードキーが翌日11時に効かなくなりエラー。フロントで話2枚対応してもらうも、また一枚がエラー再びフロントに行くも謝りなく淡々と手続き。チェックイン時からフロントの方にサービス精神は一切感じられず、事務的。こちらのホテルはそう言うのとは無縁のようです。 部屋の清掃も普段1泊の方が多いからか廊下全面を使い各部屋の使用済みリネンをおばちゃんが広げ、廊下も歩きづらいです。エレベーターも1100-1300あたりはリネン運搬のカートにエレベーターを占拠されなかなかきません。寝るだけならいいですが、あの部屋、サービスにしてはやや高く感じます。

Came here with family during the Sakura season. It's easy to get to the onset hotel. After arriving at the Ogoto Onsen JR station, towards the south exit you will find a cell phone attached to a board with explanation how to use the phone to call one of the onsen hotels. After the call, their shuttle bus will then come and pick you up between 2pm to 6pm I think. The hotel staff in general are very welcoming. Our family scored a deal with their penthouse suite with private indoor and outdoor onsen. Four of us stayed in the suite and the price is only slightly more than four of us staying in 2 regular rooms. It also came with a beautiful fruit platter for you to enjoy. The suite is very spacious with 2 separate toilets. The bath area has 2 sinks, a shower stall as well as a japanese style bathing area connected to the 2 onsen baths (indoor one is a hinoki wood tub and the outdoor one is a stone one. The outdoor onsen does have a slight privacy issue as there are some residential buildings in a distance. While my mom was a bit too modest to use the outdoor one (which I am not and fully enjoyed it), she did take full advantage of the indoor private onsen. Of course the hotel also has a public onsen for the guests. In fact they have two. One in each towers. I used the one on the top floor in the morning and it was a bless seeing the sunrise while soaking in the hot onsen water. Our package also included both dinner and breakfast that were served at their private dining room. Both meals were done in kaiseki style. We were particularly impressed by their dinner. Not only was it cooked with high quality ingredients and with beautiful presentation, they did not skimp on the quantity as well. Often after eating dinner at other onsen hotel, I would not feel full and actually felt a bit hungry later at night, at Yumotokan the courses kept coming and I was completely stuffed at the end. In fact I did not finish the rice even though it was so yummy (cooked from scratch in front of us with a flamed mini-stove). All in all, a very satisfactory experience. I can recommend anyone who comes to Kyoto/Osaka and wants an excursion and experiences the traditional Japanese onsen.

何回も利用してますが、今回は部屋のタオルが置かれてないというイレギュラーがありましたw フロントへ連絡したら、すぐに持ってきてくれましたし、気持ちの良い対応でした。また利用させて頂きます。 サービスのミネラルウォーターとカレーも助かります(^^)

The Prince Hotel in Biwako is a place where a traveler can relax entirely. The lake-view room is nowhere one can compare. I feel owning the whole lake scene when sitting by the wide picturistic window from the 11th floor and sipping a cup of green tea. From frontdesk to suttle bus drivers, all staff speak English and are so helpful. The suttle service running twice an hour betwwen the hotel and the train station is a saving of taxi fare. The lobby at the entrance is so spaciously open that one can sit in an armchair at a corner and will not feel uncomfortable albeit facing a big group of travelers around. I will stay here again when I visit Kansai area next time. James

２月初旬、日曜日に入浴付き昼食のコースでお邪魔しました。場所は雄琴温泉の山手の高台にあり、国道からはひと筋裏通りに入り口があるので、注意しておかないと通り過ぎそうになります。専用の取り付け道路の急こう配の坂道を上った突き当りに建物が有ります。車利用でしたが、ホテルに到着するとスタッフさんのお出迎え。昼食だけなのに気の利いた事です。一旦ラウンジでお茶のサービスを頂いたのですが、ここのスタッフは金髪の女性、日本語は大丈夫です。急坂を上ってきただけあって、ラウンジからの見晴らしは非常に良いです。準備が出来ましたと呼びに来られたのでレストランへ移動すると、広い空間に我々一組のみ。申し訳ない気分に包まれました。いただいた昼食は、小鍋の付いた会席の和食料理。小さな器に少しづつ盛付けられた料理が品数多く配膳され、女性に人気のコースと聞いていたので、なるほどと感じました。ただし、小鉢料理は作り置きの物が多かった印象があり、この辺りは価格相応なのかと。昼食を済ませ次はお風呂。フロントの黒服男性スタッフが、大浴場まで道案内をしてくれました。お風呂は大き目の内湯と壁に囲まれた露天、４～５人用のサウナからなっており、お湯は全体的にぬるめ。泉質は弱アルカリ泉だと思うのですが、内湯の方が少しぬめりが感じられる湯のようです。サウナは一般的なドライサウナで、小さな水風呂が有ります。１時間ほどお風呂を堪能して、来たときと同じく数名のスタッフさんに見送られ、ホテルを後にしました。全部で３時間ほどの滞在でしたが、食事やお風呂より、印象に残ったのはスタッフ一人一人の心配りでした。決してお安い宿ではないのですが、サービスの質の高さを考えると、恐らく大半の利用客は納得して帰られる宿だと思います。家が近いので宿泊での利用機会は少ないと思いますが、一度は泊まってみたい気がしています。お世話になりました。

滋賀県旅行支援が使えて近江牛をいただける宿を探してこちらに行きつきました。こぢんまりした宿なので駐車場も含め館内の移動が少なかったのが想定外に良かったです。チェックインはロビーで座ってさせてもらえるし、無料のミニアイスは食べ放題、卓球はラケットがすごく綺麗でびっくり！楽しませていただきました。 雨だったので湯本館のお風呂は使わず内風呂だけ利用しました。みなさん湯本館に行かれているようで朝も夜も女性側はずっと貸切。熱すぎずいいお湯でした。シャワー周りは老朽感が否めませんが、綺麗にされているのでそこまで嫌な気持ちにはなりません。あと大浴場の化粧水などは無印でした。安アウトバス用のトリートメント(メーカー忘れた)のおかげで髪もいい感じです。しいていうならこちらにもヘアゴムが欲しかった…

Stayed at Youzanso during late March 2023. It was during the cherry blossom season. We (family of four) had the room with the Lake Otsu view and private bath. The room was sufficient for 4 of us but I wouldn't call it spacious. However, the room and bathroom were clean. The room came with dinner and breakfast for 4 of us and costed about AUD800. The dinner and breakfast was quite good and would recommend to anyone considering the half board. It might get old if u were staying for few days but we were only there for one night. We toured Kyoto for the day and stayed here overnight then went back to kyoto for more sightseeing. It wasn't as convenient as if you stayed in Kyoto but the travel wasn't long or difficult. The property is bit dated and looks more like a hotel than a ryokan. The facilities are clean but also look dated as well. However, the public onsen is great, clean and the outdoor bath is a must. Took this photo of the external bath when no one was present and the ambiance was really something...

When visiting Kyoto, we wanted to enjoy some time in an onsen resort so we decided to spend two nights in Ogoto Onsen. After checking the details in their website, we booked a ”Biwa no kaze”room with private onsen and view of Lake Biwako. And we were not disappointed. The room looks newly renovated, and is very spacious with two beds and sitting area plus a tatami room. They offer different dinner packages, and we have chosen crab with steak as the main dishes for the first night, and lobster with shabu-shabu the second night. The foods were of very high quality, tasted and looked very nice. The breakfast buffet was very good with a wide selection of different items. The ryokan is excellent in nearly all aspects. We would stay here again when we next visit Kyoto.

老闆很熱情 第一天送我去電車站還很詳細告訴我應該怎麼坐車 第二天直接送我去機場 路上還鬧了點烏龍 因為開的太快超了速被警察抓了 但是老闆一點也沒生氣 還是很開心的上路了 情緒真的很穩定 總之 非常推薦大家有想體驗傳統榻榻米的民宿的來這裏 晚上很安靜 而且旁邊就是警察的區役所 也很安全
