Hikone Castle Resort & Spa

very warming services from the front desk staff to the waitress inside the hotel they took good care of my bike and then delivered an excellent service during the dinner. the old lady took initiative to introduce me each dish. very nice she was indeed. the location of the hotel is great. even i didnt get a room with nice view but i still could see the hikone castle from the drink lounge and osen. so amazing view. the last thing is the food! the dinner is so nice

After a crowded Kyoto, I love the peaceful and tranquil environment of this beautiful onsen hotel-ryokan and charming castle town. Everything about the hotel speaks of relaxation and well-being. It's only a 7-8min walk away from Hikone Train Station but there is a hotel shuttle that leaves at 9, 10 and 11 am if you need a drop off. Pick up could probably be arranged too. The hotel offers a pretty outdoor terrace with Castle view, an on-site spa with massage, a library lounge with free drinks till 10pm, a foot reflex corner and a compact onsen with a silk bath (all with Castle view) and hot stone benches. I had the whole onsen to myself in the evening, so it was very relaxing. The staff are kind and lovely too, making an effort to explain all the services and amenities in English. The buffet breakfast was also one of the better ones I've seen in my trips to Japan. If you're visiting the Castle, the entrance road is right outside the hotel. The main castle road is about 5-10 min away but you will pass by a famous Japanese confectionery, Taneya and Club Harie. Their souvenirs are one that even the Japanese cherish. I would wish to come here again with my partner one day. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

✓絕佳位置，視野一流 就位在彥根城入口旁，隔著護城河兩相遙望，不論是飯店的休憩區、泡湯區、甚至是電梯等候空間，都能享受眺望彥根城的美景。四季皆美，夏綠、秋紅、冬雪、春櫻。 ✓邊泡湯邊看城堡，絕佳享受 在可以眺望天守閣的大浴場，盡情享受白見之湯和彥根城美景。一口溫水池、一口絲滑碳酸池、還有會發熱的岩盤浴長椅，早晚要各泡一次，欣賞彥根城的白天與夜晚，尤其打燈後更美。 ✓典雅低奢的公共空間 飯店雖有年代感，但絲毫不減氣派和高級感，把最好的view都給了公共空間。一樓的大廳典雅奢華，二樓的休憩區佈置的像書房酒吧，除了提供茶水，居然還有kirin玻璃瓶啤酒，真的是泡完湯後的happy hour。 ✓房間與餐食，完美的體驗 房型的view二款，一款面城堡、一款面山景，我用NT.2,600訂的標準雙人房，除了有市景、還有山景，約5坪大，床相當好躺。早餐則是中規中矩的和洋式自助餐，午晚餐則有提供近江牛。 真心推薦，一定要來彥根城住上一晚，而且一定要住 Hikone Castle Resort & Spa，一流的體驗，實惠的價格，絕佳的旅遊品質。
