Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciated the stunning views of Lake Biwa and the comfortable, spacious rooms. The onsen facilities were also well-received, providing a relaxing experience. However, some guests found the breakfast options overpriced and lacking variety, with a few mentioning issues like frozen fruit. Overall, the hotel's location is convenient for exploring nearby attractions, making it a good base for Kyoto visits.
