Hotell med 3-stjärniga i Shiga prefektur, Japan

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.

Jag stannade nyligen på AB Hotel Hikone och hade en exceptionell erfarenhet.Platsen förtjänar en fast 5-stjärna 37413; 27290; bekvämt belägen på 5-9 Daitocho, Hikone, Shiga, som erbjuder enkel tillgång till nyckelsegenskaper. Hotellets renhet är lovvärd, tjänar ett annat 5-star-betyg.Personalen var vänlig och boende, även om en något högre betyg för vänskap skulle förbättra den övergripande erfarenheten. Värdet för pengarna är utmärkt, med toppmöbler som förtjänar en full 5-stjärna.Frukost översteg förväntningarna och tjänade en perfekt poäng. Allt i allt erbjuder AB Hotel Hikone en fantastisk vistelse med sin främsta plats, renhet, värde för pengarna och utmärkta faciliteter.Jag rekommenderar starkt att resenärer söker en trevlig och bekväm boendeupplevelse i Hikone, Japan.

We didn't know that this is a love hotel and only realised it the day before checking in, as the check in is only from 6pm. The room is very spacious and we didn't mind the ****, condoms and lots of beauty products it came with. :D However, I didn't know that hotel rooms in Japan can allow smoking, so the strong cigarette smell in the room was very off putting. We put up a 'do not disturb' sign because we don't need cleaning daily. The second day I noticed some of the **** from the hotel were gone in our room but the room wasn't made (bed wasn't made, trash not emptied). I asked the staff and they said they removed it because they thought it bothered us. This was a bit weird to me, I'm not sure where they got the idea from and I don't know why they entered the room. It's also important to note that the train only runs once per hour most of the day (during some hours twice).

This isn’t our first stay at a Vessel Inn, and it likely won’t be the last. They’ve become a safe, reliable choice for us whenever we travel around Japan. The room at Vessel Inn Shiga Moriyama was exactly what we expected—clean, well-maintained, and equipped with the standard amenities and toiletries we’ve come to appreciate. We didn’t get a chance to use the hotel facilities this time, so can’t comment on those. Our main concern is always the cleanliness of the bed and overall comfort, and we’re glad to say it passed with flying colors. No funky surprises, just a peaceful night’s rest. One thing that stood out: the room size felt more spacious than what we’re used to in places like Osaka. Definitely a plus when you’ve got luggage or just want to breathe a little easier. All in all, a solid stay that gave us what we needed—nothing fancy, but exactly right.

東横インと言う事もあり、ホテル自体は何も問題ないです。部屋も綺麗ですし、サービスも全く問題ありません。 ただ唯一残念なのは、立地かと思います。 JR大津駅と京阪びわ湖浜大津駅のどちらにも微妙な距離があって、荷物がある場合や暑さ寒さがある季節は若干辛いかと思います。 また周辺にコンビニなどが無いため、買い物忘れなどがあると不便を感じるかもしれません。

友人と駅前で飲食する約束のため宿泊しました。目玉の温泉と朝食だけでもコスパは大変良かったと思います。駐車場が広くて無料、貸出品も充実、乳液なども必要な分だけ持って行ける、館内自動販売機も安かった、歩いて2分のところにスーパーがありコンビニより安く必要なものが買えるなど、とにかく良かったです。 忘れたのでクレンジングが置いてあったらよかったなと、ヘアアイロンの貸出があると出張時も助かるなと思いました。

We stayed two nights in the hotel with breakfast and dinner. The web page of Trip.com showed that there was onsen in the hotel but when we check in, we were told that it was a ”mistake”. There is no onsen and the photo is a public onsen half an hours away. It was very disappoining that the Trip.com include photos irrelevant to the hotel. Dinner was also diffferent from the web photo. We have to pay 2500 yen each to upgrade the dinner to shsbu shabu. Breakfast is Japanese style with limited choice. Other than these, we had lake view room and shopping mall is nearby which are the advantages.

Location of the hotel is very convenient. It is 5-10 min walk from JR Otsu station which is only 2 stop away from JR Kyoto which costs about 200 yen. The room is clean and quiet but it is a bit tight for 2 mid size luggages (to open simultaneously) but still manageable. Hotel comes with full Japanese breakfast and has coin operated laundry (200yen) and dryer (free). We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone who don't mind staying out of Kyoto.

喫煙の部屋に泊まりました。 部屋は広くて、窓からの環境もとても良かったです。 ただ匂い消しの芳香剤の匂いがきつすぎるので窓をしばらく開けとく必要があると思います。

The room is small, the receptionists before check-in time looked very young, I don't know if they were interns, spoke just bad English and bad hospitality in general. Need more training!
