The room is spacious, clean and tidy. The breakfast is exquisite. The best is the ninth floor Omi beef teppanyaki. The meat is tender and the appetizer is paired with salmon dishes. The dessert strawberries are amazing.
The breakfast is very good and the hot spring experience is also very good. There was no one when I went there, it was just a charter. The location is right by the lake, comfortable and quiet, there is a 7-11 next to it, you can do some simple purchases. The owner of the hotel is a kind and amiable grandmother, who can recommend local activities to us in simple English. I am very grateful to her for taking care of her for a few days.
I booked the VIP room and it was huge! It really felt like a traditional ryokan, which was superb! Having the onsen right in the room was also fantastic, honestly. I absolutely loved my stay here. It was so relaxing, and the lake view was just magnificent. Since I'll be in Kyoto for the next few days, I'm definitely coming back for another night to enjoy the onsen and the stunning view of Lake Biwa again.
It was a fantastic and very enjoyable trip. The hotel proactively contacted me beforehand to confirm the room type, arrival method, and time. Everything was prepared. Upon arrival, the room exceeded my expectations, and I was extremely satisfied with the hotel's service. Everything was exactly as I had hoped.
Biwako Although it was in front and there was nothing around, it was a little inconvenient, but I think it would be okay for those who don't care!!
The staff were friendly and clean when I first walked in!!
The room was single, but it wasn't uncomfortable for two people to stay in.
The view of Biwako from the window was also nice!!
There was a large bath on the 7th floor, but I was a little disappointed..ㅠㅠ I couldn't use the sauna, and there was so much mold on the ceiling that it didn't feel good to wash...ㅠㅠ There was just one bath and one outside... The bath wasn't big.
One thing I really liked was the breakfast!!!! Among the hotels I've been to, I was able to enjoy the most diverse food and Shiga specialties!! And it was so nice to be able to eat while looking at Biwako outside the window!!!
It was just an ordinary hotel, but the breakfast was satisfying!!
Great accommodation choice at Oibuki Ski Resort!
It's not too far from the city center and very convenient. There's parking available right outside if you're driving, so no worries. The hotel even helped return my forgotten hat! I'm so grateful!
The onsen (hot spring bath) is also very relaxing!
Overall, it's fantastic!
I really like this house~ The design and decoration of the house is very Japanese and fashionable. There are many things. It may look messy, but those who choose to live here should not care too much about it. After all, it’s here. For these messy hand-made decorations~! In the room and in the small cafe below, most of them are made by One Piece. The workmanship is exquisite and the styles are many. When the decoration is suitable. On the first night of staying, I didn’t go out to play. It took a long time to take pictures in the house to see the figures. Ahaha~ quite satisfied~!
Stunning views of Lake Biwa! The baths were wonderfully uncrowded, offering both indoor and outdoor options. Listening to the sound of the waves was incredibly therapeutic.
Every time I go to Hikone, I will definitely choose this hotel. Facing Hikone Castle and Hikone Moat, the environment is elegant. The old street nearby is filled with a strong Edo atmosphere, I like it very much!
There is a shuttle bus from Otsu to the hotel. You have to make an early phone reservation. The Japanese service has nothing to say. I have been on a business trip to Japan. This family trip, the breakfast and dinner are set. The variety is better. The victory is less. Haha.

Great
This is my second time, I took my daughter to their open air onsen room and she loves it!! I really enjoyed the time with her in the quiet place so we could truly relax together!!
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
Wow! What a wonderful experience at Biwako Grand Hotel. Truly the most relaxing part of my Japan trip, the onsen was very beautiful, with fantastic views. We didn't end up getting a pure lake view, but it was still a beautiful and relaxing experience in the tatami room. It was a tad pricey, even for off-season, but with a wonderful kaiseki dinner, it was still a great time.
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
Booked this stay to explore the areas around Lake Biwa. Reception was warm and friendly with an English-speaking host who provided us with the information for the stay. We booked the western style room as we preferred an attached bathroom, however the room condition was outdated and needs refurbishment, like peeling surfaces. The Japanese style room looked better when we caught a glimpse during check-out time. Nevertheless, location and amenities were great. Location is near major eateries and commercial centres by a short drive.
Very good hotel. Love the room and the hot spring area. Staff are very friendly. Just a comment on the food arrangement: suggest the hotel to contact the guest prior to the check-in on the dinner or breakfast arrangement and offer the choices.
The hotel is located by Lake Biwa. You can enjoy the lake view while having breakfast. There are not many types of breakfast, but the food quality is good. The size of the room is on the small side. The hotel is located close to different attractions, which is very convenient! The staff is kind!
