Top Sawayama Castle Ruins Hotel Reviews

Comfort Hotel Hikone

10/10 Excellent

"Bel accueil et bien traité."

Grand Mercure Lake Biwa Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"It’s a big property right on Lake Biwa. We were quite happy with our roomy room on the 10th floor with a nice morning view on the lake. The hotel gets quite busy though, so many of the amenities are a bit harder to enjoy - lots of people at the onsen, gaming area gets quite busy too. The local souvenir shop is actually reasonably priced. The concierge went out of his way to help us organise an activity in Hikone and guided us on the best way to get there. Would recommend but I’d avoid weekends and Japanese school holidays."

Hotel Sunroute Hikone

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay in Hikone. The room was comfortable given we had three single beds. The hotel is only a minute walk from the train station and close to dining establishments. It's also a short walk to the castle - which is a must. This was a week into our trip, so we availed ourselves of the laundry facility. It is located on one of the floors, not in your room. It had two washers and two dryers. The staff were friendly and helpful. We would stay here again."

Okubiwako Makino Grand Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The private beach was the highlight! Never swam in a lake that felt so refreshing! View from the room was amazing. Perfect place to engage I. Digital detox!"

Kamenoi Hotel Hikone

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic stay in this onsen style ryokan. Had a wonderful private onsen in our room, overlooking the river and the lake beyond. Can’t ask for a more perfect experience. Waking up early to soak in our private room onsen before dressing and heading down for the Japanese style breakfast included."

Toyoko Inn Maibara Station Shinkansen Nishi

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and quiet. Hot spring was also nuce to use it."

Wa no retreat Hitoiki

10/10 Excellent

"All the rooms were incredibly clean and relaxing. The host was very accommodating and the location was perfect. I was able to walk around at night and really appreciate where I was. Also, the sauna was very wonderful and do the matcha tea ceremony. It was very calming."
