片原楽家 旅人の長浜町家ドミトリー, hotel in Hikone

Located in Nagahama, within 8.7 miles of Hikone Castle and 5.5 miles of Maibara Station, 片原楽家 旅人の長浜町家ドミトリー has accommodations with a terrace and a bar, and free WiFi throughout the property.

Aesthetically, this hostel is beautiful and totally suits the traditional townscape. Each room is also beautifully designed and very comfortable. The bathrooms are fully stocked and there is a dedicated bathroom & shower for women. Each room is locked with a key, and each bunk has a separate key as well. The staff who greeted me was SO, so nice, and spoke fluent English. Finally, the location is amazing- very close walk to the station and right next to the Kurokabe area.

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The hotel is an outstanding experience as a place to stay. Excellent facilities - including the open-air bath in our room, superb food, and wonderfully polite and helpful staff. I also enjoyed the welcome cake and glass of wine on the 10th floor when we arrived. You will pay for the experience as the hotel is not cheap, but it is well worth it for the experience.

    Lovely traditional style budget ryokan near a large strip of restaurants. There is an onsen which you can use privately as long as no one else is using it at the time. The manager is awesome, he offers you a lift to the station when you checkout which we greatly appreciated. There are some bikes you can rent for free, but make sure you ask early. It was great value for money.

    Really lovely, traditional accommodation. The staff were friendly and relaxed, even gave me a lift to the station at the end of my stay. I also borrowed a bike from them to ride around the city and had some lovely views of the sunset over the lake. Everythung was clean and tidy with very nice and strong AC! Also a great location near the castle and the station, as well as being next to a shopping street with places to eat.

    It’s right next to Hikone station. They had limited, fixed-rate parking on site. The “rain shower” is awesome. The hotel actively discourages overuse of single-use products such as amenity items. You can also get room package deals that are cheaper by not having full cleaning every day. The breakfast salads were crunchy.
