โI stayed at the Chaya house which was absolutely stunning. The staff were incredibly friendly and a joy to speak with. Otsu is a smaller quiet town with lots of character and friendly residents. I highly recommend checking out the local Izakayas and cafes for an equally excellent experience.โ
โThey gave me a late checkout (2 hours extension) for no additional charge. Staff tried to talk in English with me, and was very helpful. Breakfast was amazing also, and very cheap! The room is very spacious. Some things seem a bit old, and the red light in the bathroom did not work. But it was a nice stay, would probably do it again in the future!โ
โPositive point: very short distance from station. Near this guesthouse, there's a nice udon restaurant. Room is big enough to rest.
Negative Point: short distance from station also means there'll be some noise caused by train.
I saw a giant bug on the ceiling at night.
Moreover, some electric outlets and little lamp on the bed didn't work. Only outlets in 2 out of 4 beds worked properly.
Air conditioner works well, but it barely gets warm.
You should pay by cash if you are a foreigner. I saw...
