Thermen-Hotels in Präfektur Shiga, Japan

Good hotel if you really want to get away and relax. Do spas and light/ medium sightseeing. It’s about an hour train ride to any major modern shopping stuff. They serve Japanese style breakfast and western breakfast for extra charge. Make sure to specify which one. For dinner it’s usually Japanese style. And the food was good. I found out a lot of things I did and didn’t like for cuisine.

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. The hotel feels grand and worth the price. Room was spacious and comfortable. The onsen was amazing with multiple options such as a sauna room, an outside jacuzzi style onsen and the main inside onsen. The food provided (breakfast and dinner) was a traditional Japanese style multi course meal. Highly recommended! Room also had a lovely view of Lake Biwa and a comfortable outside bath.

Dieses Hotel bietet ein unschlagbares Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis inklusive Frühstück, Abendessen und Getränken. Die Zimmerausstattung ist zwar etwas in die Jahre gekommen und lässt zu wünschen übrig, aber da das Hotel direkt am Biwa-See liegt und die Umgebung toll ist, ist das Zimmer für eine erholsame Nachtruhe nicht so wichtig.

The hotel itself is really cozy and service is good. During my stay, there was not too many people and relaxing. The quality of onsen itself is really good that make my skin so smooth for days. The dinner and breakfast food are fresh, except the dessert cake is really dry which doesn’t taste like any other Japan standard cake.

Room is very spacious, comes with 2 sets of facial acre products both for man and woman There's even a 6 CD player with preloaded CDs inside ranging from Jazz to sentimental songs for your relaxation Food are delicious and nicely decorated Every day it comes with some free local snacks like financiers and biscuits One incident that didn't quite went well is early morning after breakfast As we are rushing to head out before housekeeping and there's no more water in the room, we return to the dinning hall and try to ask the staff to help to fill up some water in their provided water bottle. one lady took over the bottle and head to the kitchen to fill up, but we can hear she's complaining to her colleagues about it. Shortly, while handing over the bottle, she signal us to leave. We did so but once just stepped out, she simply slams the dinning hall shut! I was surprised by her reaction. It was quite rude of her to do that. If it's against the regulation, they can rightly say so and communicate upfront than doing this repulsive reaction Overall, a nice stay amid a slight mark on the service rendered

Very great time here, i give it the maximum rate! The people are awesome or particularly kind, the worry about everything for you, shuttle bus to station or from station to hotel, all amenities. The food was absolutely delicious, even tho sometimes it wasn’t at our taste you can see that the products are fresh, carefully selected and very tasty. It had a playing 8ball pool, and a ping-pong table! Very near Biwa Lake. Outstanding view from 11th Floor onsen. I recommend and wish to come back on our next trip to japan.

Fantastische Lage, große, leider steinharte Betten, sehr freundliches Personal. Shuttlebus erst nach 8 Uhr morgens, obwohl Frühstück schon ab 7 Uhr. Frühstück für Preis enttäuschend, kein Brot, nur Toast und eine Marmelade sowie weißes Joghurt und Melone, riesen Angebot an asiatischen, gedâmpften oder frittierten Fisch, Fleisch, Suppe o. ä. Zudem keine Erstattung für Frühstück, das wegen frühzeitigem Aufbruch/Abreise nicht zu nutzen war. Nachtwäsche einfach verräumt nach dem Zimmerservice und nicht erstattet, obwohl wir dann keine für den Rest der Reise hatten. Personal spricht überwiegend kein Englisch, Kommunikation auch nicht übersetzbar. Schlechtester Föhn aller Zeiten! Abendessen a la Carte sehr gut!

Nice hotel with lake Biwa as room view. Staff are professional and easy check in. Busy during Saturday and Sunday for mainly family guests with kids. For those wants some serenity should avoid those days. Public Bath and swimming pool are indoor which are good but not attractive. Swimming pool needs to pay extra. The convenience store is self services store and opened for 24 hours which provide convenience to guest.

We stayed one night at Biwako Grand Hotel Kyoomi and had a generally relaxing experience. The traditional tatami room was comfortable and suitable for staying with a young child. The hotel has a classic Japanese ryokan atmosphere, and the area near Lake Biwa is very peaceful. Staff were polite and helpful, and the shuttle service was convenient. Breakfast was simple but acceptable. One suggestion is that it would be appreciated if room arrangements could better match the photos shown on the booking page, as this would help set clearer expectations. Overall, a calm stay for travelers seeking a traditional experience.

clean and new hotel with great design & super friendly staff, great food selection. Had a very nice chill vibe during my stay. Thank you staff 田中美’代’ ( I forgot the last word of her name, she served us dinner on 16th Jan 2026), we appreciate her food serving with patience as we ate slowly, and she helped to take a great photo for us. I’d recommend this hotel if you can drive to there. e
