Holiday Afternoon, hotel in Otsu

Surrounded by greenery, the lovely Holiday Afternoon offers rooms with free Wi-Fi, a 10-minute drive from Biwako Valley Ski Resort and a 10-minute walk from Omimaiko’s beach.

The son and mother running the guesthouse were wonderful. It's a beautiful location, and because it is fairly far from the station, the son picked us up in his van at the station. We did have to call him to get us (which we knew ahead of time), so it's important to have the capability to do so or otherwise arrange it with the guesthouse host. We thoroughly enjoyed the onsen at the hotel with included yukatas and our very spacious room (had a heater/AC as well!). The sheets and yukatas and towels were impeccably clean and pressed. The son and mother had a lovely cafe with free beverages downstairs, and they also had a wonderful breakfast we paid for in the morning. I feel this guesthouse is truly a hidden gem and highly recommend it to anyone considering it. Easily one of the best places I have stayed at in Japan. My husband and I were so charmed during the whole experience.

Guest Inn Chita, hotel in Otsu

Guest Inn Chita is a 5-minute walk from Higashi Hongan-ji Temple and Gojo Subway Station. It offers Japanese-style accommodation with free Wi-Fi.

This was one of our favourite accommodations during our three week trip. The room was spacious and very clean. The shared bathrooms and showers were very clean and well maintained. The location was perfect, close to many train stations and great restaurants and sights. The host was very kind and professional. She was extremely helpful with the luggage delivery service preparation and gave us lots of suggestions for places to see and eat! She also recommended a bath house (sento) that is less than a 10 minute walk from the inn. If we come back to Kyoto we will definitely be staying here again!!

Gionkoh, hotel in Otsu

Gionkoh is situated in Kyoto, 800 metres from Kiyomizu-dera Temple and 1.1 km from Samurai Kembu Kyoto. There is a shared kitchen and courtyard at the property.

In one word: everything. The host was super friendly, available, and helpful (we thought we left the passport in our previous hotel, and he promptly offered us help and called the other hotel). The inner pond is very relaxing at night. The location is simply outstanding!

    The room with split level was small but cosy and with so many intriguing details at every turn. You can't help but marvel at the owner's design and attention to detail. The host family was lovely and their communal areas equally fascinating.
