I recently stayed at AB Hotel Hikone and had an exceptional experience. The location deserves a solid 5 stars—it's conveniently situated at 5-9 Daitocho, Hikone, Shiga, offering easy access to key attractions. The cleanliness of the hotel is commendable, earning another 5-star rating. The staff was friendly and accommodating, though a slightly higher rating for friendliness would enhance the overall experience. The value for money is excellent, with top-notch facilities that deserve a full 5 stars. The breakfast exceeded expectations, earning a perfect score. Overall, AB Hotel Hikone provides a fantastic stay with its prime location, cleanliness, value for money, and outstanding facilities. I highly recommend it to fellow travelers seeking a delightful and comfortable accommodation experience in Hikone, Japan.

I chose Daiwa because of its location is by the lake location and not too far away from Kurokabe distance. Daiwa is famous for good price performance ratio, meaning not expensive room rate yet providing quality room and service. The hotel lobby is grand, and you pick up the bathroom amenities at lobby yourselves. Check in was smooth but you have to bring your own luggage to your room. The hotel charge you Yen 500 for parking per night but give you Yen 500 voucher in return which you can spend in the hotel, not a bad deal. The hotel also provides a shuttle bus service to the Nagahama station for hotel guests if you are not driving. Even taking a taxi from the station to hotel is not more than 5 minutes. The station is just a few minutes walks to the famous Kurokabe Plaza and its surrounding waling streets. Yukata is available on each floor lobby where you pick your selection and size. We were allocated at the corner room which is very spacious, overlooking the lake and the pier, with windows on two sides, and therefore, very bright when the weather is sunny. We reserved a dinner in the booking with the hotel. The dinner is served in the function. It was a multi course dinner with various cooking method of Omi beef, including stew, hot pot and grill, plus a variety of other dishes such as sashimi. Server is very good and the staff are trying hard to communicate with us in English. The onsen on the ground floor is not very big, but the two nights we stayed are Friday and Saturday, so there were extremely many people. There is a souvenir shop which opens until 9pm, a bit early. After we checked out the hotel, we walked around the Nagahama Castle Park which is five minutes walk away from hotel. The castle was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the sixteen century but the current castle is a re-built. We dined at the hotel lobby tea lounge for lunch. But the meal was probably the worst meal I have ever had in Japan over the years. I think a tea should be fine with a good view of the lake. The location of the hotel, and the service quality makes an ideal choice when staying in Nagahama.

長期利用したが、コスパがとても良かった。 周辺：彦根駅前でアクセスが良いにも関わらず、繁華街の駅口の反対口である東口で車通りも少ないので静かで快適。最寄りのコンビニが駅反対口の為、若干距離を感じる方もいるかも…下の階に居酒屋とイタリアン、ホテル出てすぐ近くに中華と和洋中レストランがある。駅反対口まで行けばアルプラザや飲み屋さん定食屋さんが多数。ホテルのある東口側では、ホテルから徒歩10分くらいでドラッグストア、イオンタウンやローソン、コメダ、スシロー、ブロンコビリー、ラーメン屋さんなどがある。 部屋：13m²で140cmのベッドがメインをとっている。白を基調とした壁紙、大きい窓があり、圧迫感を感じない。虫が多数入ってくる為に窓は締め切りとなっている。加湿空気清浄機が各部屋に置いてあり、水を入れて自動モードにして置くと乾燥しなくて良い。エアコン、テレビ、冷蔵庫、机、椅子あり。コンセントが机に2つ、ベッド横に２つ。机はパソコンを置いて作業するのに十分な大きさで、照明も明るくできて作業しやすい。 ベッドはブックライトがあり、マットレスも宣伝しているだけあって寝心地良い。枕はフロントでもう1個借りられる。 シャワーは水を出す際に、洗面台と切り替えするタイプ。暖水と冷水の2つ蛇口を自分で調整しなければいけない。 朝食：6:30から平日は9時まで、土日は9:30まで2階のラウンジで食べられる。主食はクロワッサン、ワッフル、ミルクパンなど数種類のパンとトースターの他、2種類のコーンフレーク系、ピラフなどの日替わり味付きご飯がある。メインに日代わりのおかずと味付きゆで*、スクランブルエッグ、ソーセージがある。日替わりのおかずはチキン＆アボカドやジンジャーチキンなどで、日によっては2種類おいている時もあった。飲み物は日替わりのスープとご当地みそ汁、スムージーの他にコーヒー、オレンジジュースなど。テイクアウトボックスもあり、部屋で食べることもできる。 滞在最後にラウンジスペースをリフォームしており、朝食以外でも仕事やゆっくり過ごせる場所になりそうな配置で机や椅子を置いていた。機会があればまたこのホテルを使わしてもらうと思う。

First of all, I feel it's very important to mention that the staff here were very helpful in handling a big problem I had with my booking app. I was very grateful for this assistance. There is a beautiful garden outside the lobby. The room had a great view of the town and Hachiman mountain, and was among the most spacious and comfortable I've had in Japan.
