The breakfast was fine for us. The location was convenient. The parking was nearby and not unreasonable. There were restaurants nearby for dinner. The staff who assisted me also spoke some English.

Although not impossible, the parking instructions could have been simpler, clearer. I live in Japan, so it was fine for me, but I found the signs and pop-cards in the restaurant were written in small hard-to-read print. If this inn gets other foreign guests, the English should be almost the same size as the Japanese.

The room is spacious and clean. The mattress is good, feel comfortable. Bathroom is big too. Hotel staffs are friendly and helpful, they do their best to serve us. Really like it.

The air conditioner is centrally controlled, so we can't adjust the temperature we want. Personally feel hot inside the room although the weather was cold there. So we choose to open the window and sleep at night.

Staff were very friendly and kept my bag for me while I went traveling around the city. They even upgraded my room to a twin (which has never happened to me before) so I got to enjoy a larger room. Beds were comfy, complimentary water was provided. Even the VOD was free (this is usually a paid service, so was a nice surprise). Hotel is also located a stone's throw away from the local station, and has a convenience store right next door.

Toilet and shower look rather dated and could use some renovating

Location is very nice as it is just opposite the station. I was given a quiet room as requested with a good view as a bonus. But other rooms may face some buildings. The hotel is near a good supermarket so it’s easy to get some quick meals or if you need something urgent. Good laundry facility on the 3rd floor as the cost is reasonable and it is easy to use. The receptionists are very helpful and caring despite their limited English. There’s a pharmacy just next to the hotel which is important when Covid is still around.

The name Biwako as the hotel name is a bit misleading as it is quite long time to reach the Biwako Museum. I need to take a train and a bus to get there.

The hotel is only 100 meters from Seta station. the staffs are very friendly & helpful. i ask the supervisor to make a reservation for dinner & the supervisor voluntarily brought us personally to the restraurant, Tell the owner we don’t speak Japanese & explain to us how to order. their housekeeping fid a very good job in keeping the room sparkling clean. they deserve more than the maximum stars allowable.

Quite far from Kyoto city.

We like how the beds were elevated , so we could put our luggages underneath the bed frame. That gives much more space to walk around in the room. The bathroom size is bigger than most Japanese hotel. Which is good 👍 maybe it is because we booked a triple room also. Not sure a standard room comes with same size of bathroom or not.

Nothing .

The staff is really nice, helped us shipping luggage to the next hotel. Although a bit far from Kyoto, it's easy to reach and the neighborhood is nice.

Near JR station (South exit),about 2 minutes. Aeon big supermarket nearby (5 minutes). Bed & pillow very comfortable. Kyoto to Seta(20 minutes). Room upgrades to me(two large beds). Breakfast (¥1200)O.K.

None

It is literally next to the train station. Comfortable and detailed orientated hotel! Less than 3minutes walk away from convenience stores as well.

I got what I expected: a small room with a bed, wifi connection, and shower/bath. Good sleep, quiet, clean, well maintained, no hassles apart from bicycle parking being an open and unattended lot. This being Japan, it wasn’t a major concern, and my bike was waiting for me in the morning. Good value if you don’t expect much.
