Staying was a truly remarkable experience. Situated near the Biwa Lake and just a short distance from Kyoto, this hotel offers the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. One of the standout features of the Otsu Prince Hotel is the spaciousness of its rooms. Unlike many hotels in Japan, which often have compact rooms, the Otsu Prince Hotel provides ample space for relaxation and comfort. Whether you're traveling alone, as a couple, or with family, you'll appreciate the generous room size that allows for a more comfortable stay. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the breathtaking view of Biwa Lake from my room. Waking up to the sight of Japan's largest freshwater lake was a rejuvenating experience. The large windows in the rooms ensure you get an unobstructed view of the shimmering waters and surroundings. Adding a magical touch to your stay, making it truly unforgettable. Despite its peaceful location by Biwa Lake, the Otsu Prince Hotel is conveniently close to Kyoto. It's an ideal base for exploring the historic and cultural attractions of Kyoto while enjoying a quieter, more relaxed setting at the end of the day.

I had a room on the 17th floor, the view over Lake Biwa was incredible- especially at sunset. There was fireworks in the lake one evening which was fantastic. I was in a Japanese style suite which was so spacious and comfy- just like having your own apartment complete with tatami mats. Free shuttle bus to and from Otsu station was very helpful, as was the luggage delivery service from Kyoto station. There were great restaurants around a 10 min walk away- Grill Sazanmi has incredible food. Was about a 30 minute walk to Otsu port to get the Michigan steam boat tour, or a 15 minute walk to the nearest stations to get elsewhere. No coin laundry facilities, but there is one about a 10 min walk away if you need it, and a local supermarket and drug store around 5 mins away. There is a small convenience store in the lobby of the hotel. Hotel breakfast was a buffet, I would recommend going earlier if you can as they tend to run out of bits around 09:30. I preferred the Top of Otsu buffet as it didn't feel like quite as much of a scramble.

The room is very spacious, after opening 2 luggages on the floor, I can still walk around the room freely without worrying being tripped. The room is clean and quiet. The toilet, washing basin and bathing area are all separated. The lake view is simply marvellous. The breakfast (buffet) is fantastic, lots of varieties to choose from. There is a convenience store in the lobby. A supermarket can be found at the entrance of the hotel. There are 2 swimming pools, but they are not opened on the day of my stay. A nearby Aeon Mall is only a few minutes drive away.

The lake view was great! The windows really provided a beautiful view of the entire area - it was pretty much the entire reason we decided to stay here. Room was huge! Reasonably big bathroom for Japan, ample space for luggage, TV, additional sofa, seats, everything you need is pretty much provided. We also appreciate the bath salt provided! The hotel is a little off the main road, but there is a supermarket, and a 7-11, familymart, and some restaurants a good 7 - 12mins walk away, so that's not too bad.

They gave us the big room in the corner with a dedicated living room that has a direct view of the lake. The free shuttle bus was a huge help for us to move around. Otherwise, we have to pay around 1500 JPY for a taxi ride to Otsu station. The staff were also helpful when we had to look for an ER due to an accident with our toddler. We will definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Otsu.
