Great location next to train/bus station with good connections to Kyoto and Osaka. Lots of restaurants around,18 mins walk to Hikone Castle. Smaller air conditioned room but good enough for a couple,cleaned every day also we have had fresh towels daily. Complementary breakfast with various dishes. Laundry room (easy to use and cheap) also vending machines on the same floor. Staff were very friendly,helpful and polite. Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for not expensive and very good hotel.

I didn’t find anything

This hotel is a great value. It was clean, quiet, pretty spacious and it had great wifi. The gentleman at the front desk was gracious and even allowed me to check in early. While English wasn’t his strong suit, he defintiely tried and I really appreciated it as my Japanese is not very good at all.

I’m not complaining about the location or anything, but I’m just mentioning it so others are aware of it. The hotel is located on the east side of Hikone station, while it seems all the action is on the west side of the station. It’s not really a deal breaker since you can walk to Hikone station and go up the stairs to cross the station and go down to the west side. After eating at Sushiro and going to Uniqlo, I never had a reason to stay on the east side and always found myself on the west side whether it was looking for restaursants, visiting the castle or something else. Like I said not a complaint, just something that needs to be out there.

The breakfast provided a big choice of Japanese and Western food. Being a vegan is difficult in Japan so this breakfast was a great start to my day. The hotel is just across the road from the station and an easy walk to Hikone Castle. The room was big by Japanese standards with a big window and a nice view. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There's also a good laundromat on the property. It's possible to leave luggage before check-in and after check-out.

I was very happy with everything.

The best I like is its room card (room key) that is not used for electricity connection. That means the refrigerator is working at all time even after you leave the room for sightseeing. Perhaps some think the setting is old fashioned but it 's the best for travellers. The hotel is located at the not busy entrance of JR but there are popular chained restaurant nearby like Sushiro and Komeda. Staff was friendly. Free breakfast offered more than enough food and drink.

Nothing particularly. The building and facilities may not be very modern but I have no complaint.

Fantastic location right by the station. Really friendly staff at the front desk. Hikone is a really good home base for exploring the rest of Kansai plus there is a beautiful castle in walking distance.

The bathroom was pretty cramped but I get that Japanese hotel rooms often feel small for Americans and how much time are you really spending there anyway.

I stayed for two nights, and I enjoyed the breakfast they prepared. Hotel is right in front of JR Station. The room I chose was a little bit small, but it is comfortable for business trip. Hotel provides lobby for reading, working, as well as small gathering. I enjoyed the coffee they serve at the lobby.

I cannot think of any except one. It would be nice to equip a desk lamp in room so that guests can work late at night if needed.

The hotel is located right next to Hikone JR station and 15-20min walk to the Hikone Castle. We stayed here as we were cycling across Biwako lake so it was very convenient location and the hotel allows to store bicycles inside (especially good when cycling with expensive bikes). Breakfast was included in the price and we were to see the extra care the staff put in preparing the food, all freshly made and prepare fresh juices with in-season fruit (apple and pears, pumpkin and almonds milk) so that after breakfast I felt more energized to cycle :)

Perhaps price was higher than usual due to events happening that weekend + public holiday. Other than that, everything else was fine.

Had all the essentials! I'd rate it higher than the Toyoko inns that I've been to. Hikone really is a wonderful place to stay at and this hotel is right next to the JR station. In addition, the Chinese food place next to the hotel had the best food.

Could be slightly cheaper considering that it's a business hotel in a remote region.

I stayed with my mum and we both loved the breakfast every morning. Especially, I loved healthy miso soup and plenty of vegetable dishes which normal hotels don't provide that variety.

The room was clean, but there was no storing area or sitting space at all for 2 people.

Breakfast - decent selection Room - very spacious Self regulated lockers for luggage and bags. Express check out- just drop card and go! Location - just across the street from hikone station yet quiet

Pillow - too flat (seems like it’s a common thing in hotels in Japan?) Tub/shower - water didn’t drain well due to blockage, literally was standing in a pool of water while showering but no big deal.
