Biwako Otsukan Tours

Very new and well designed apt hotel with spacious room, kitchen, seperated toilet, shower and sink room, dinning table and in-room washer/dryer. It is very clean and quite. It is about 13 mins walking distance to Kyoto station. It is perfect for an extended stay in Kyoto.

It is connected to JR Nanba station and Osaka CAT bus terminal through under pass and arcade. Located within walking distance from many shopping attractions in Nanba area. The staff is very friendly and more than willing to help you out whenever needed. They put us on 30th floor that commands a great view of Osaka (Lobby is on 22nd floor so that you have to change a elevator on 22nd whenever you come and go, which we find it a little bit bothering-mendoksai). Our plan has a breakfast included, and we enjoyed very much. The breakfast is excellent and has all Japanese and western style foods and deserts ready. The breakfast place is on 22nd floor that you can enjoy almost surround view of Osaka Nanba area. The hotel has a few restaurants on property, French and Japanese, but they were closed when we are staying except for French one that you have to reserve a table in advance (we failed to do). But there are many dining places in the area so that it shouldn't be an issue to many visitors unless you want to have a special anniversary dinner at the hotel restaurant, which was our case. The hotel does not have any bar where we can have a cocktail or drink while enjoying the view of the city, which we found one big catch. Other than that the stay was great.

Everything was perfect
