The best hotel in this trip. The room is really large in size and tidy with different amenities provided. Got very nice hair dryer from refa. My family enjoyed the stay here. Very nice scenery, right next to the biggest lake in japan. Definitely recommended.
Very good experience at the Mercure Lake Biwa. A high-standard hotel with great views and quality services. Even though there were many group guests, everything was well organized. Thanks to my Accor card, I could enjoy some nice benefits, which was much appreciated. The staff was friendly, attentive, and always willing to help.
They are also bike friendly !
The receptionist noticed the slight bleeding on my finger, voluntarily offered bandaid and disinfect solution, very helpful.
The shuttle service between the hotel and the train station is very useful. Wish I had known about it before we arrived.
A great place to stay near the station with friendly helpful staff and a somewhat pretty nice breakfast, considering it is complimentary.
This hotel is close to Hikone Castle and the JR station. The hotel also offers a lot of parking space for free, which being close to the station is amazing!
The room was clean and tidy with a typical Japanese style small bath.
The only thing that upset us, was the lack of Onigiri which had been in the photos when booking. But. Again, the breakfast is complimentary and seasonal as said in the hotel, so no big issue!
Would stay again!
Overall experience only so so average……. I don’t expect such a huge hotel giant - Marriott Group has these shortfalls !
Let’s talk about the suggested improvements on facilities provided by hotel:
1) parking facilities - there is no accessible ramps or pavements for customers taking their heavy luggage from the parking areas - the only thing that we can do was to carry these luggages up the staircases to the hotel lobby from the parking area.
2) hotel entrance lay-by - it was raining heavily when I checked out today. I planned to drive my car to the hotel entrance so that my family members can jump into the car and I can load all my luggages to the trunk under the canopy of the hotel entrance. “Luckily”, the canopy is too short and has no such design and finally everybody got into the car and they were ALL WET. I have to load those luggages to the car under the rain……
3) Onsen (public bath) - nothing to say about this old, obsolete, small public bath without maintanance.
4) staff - I’d say, with the “name” of Marriott, this hotel is really under staff……
Other - nothing to say really
This hotel has the best hotel receptionist we met on our 6 week traveling through Japan.
Our bicycle was broken, she was very patient with the language barrier between us.
She insisted we brought the bike insde the hotel as outside it was too hot.
She went collect plastic gloves, carried our bike chain (which was very greasy), helped 10 minutes to work on the chain.
She told us she worked in a bikeshop before she started working in the hotel.
An amazing lady!!
The lady receptionist is very helpful and kind. Much appreciated for your help! In general, the hotel situates for just a 2-minute distance from Seta JR Station, and it takes around ~20min travelling time from/to Kyoto. Reasonable facilities given the price is economic. Thank you for the hospitality.
Molto buono

UUtente anonimoIt was a great stay at this ryokan! The hotel is able to arrange a car to fetch you from the JR station. You can call them using a dedicated phone at the station which is used to contact the different ryokans. The car arrived in 10mins or so. The ride to the ryokan was also less than 10mins. The hotel also fetched us to the station on the last day of our stay.
The ryokan itself is homely and cozy. We were greeted by an english speaking staff who introduced us to the amenities of the ryokan. There was also a nice welcome tea and matcha chocolate. Our bags were brought to our room as well during this time.
The room is spacious and cozy. The hotel prepared 2 welcome biscuits in the room which was a nice personal touch. The room has a nice living room and a great view of Lake Biwa. Recommend to catch the sunrise over the lake! There are 2 normal beds as well as futon beds (need to set up yourself). Both are comfortable. The hotel also prepared pretty yukata for both female and male guests which you can wear during the stay. There are 4 different designs for ladies, and one design for the guys. You can request for different size if the one in the room doesn’t fit you. There is also a full length mirror and a mini dressing area at the side of the living room. It was fun dressing up in the yukata!
The toilet, basin, shower and hot tub areas are all separate. The toilet is a little small, but the basin and mirror area is very spacious. The shower area is quite small as well and the shower head is rather low so you need to hold the shower head if you wish to wash up while standing. There is a small stool given for you to sit down though. The hot tub area is semi-outdoor and you can see Lake Biwa. But it is quite small (only good for one person). It was too cold so we didn’t use the hot tub.
Instead, we booked the private onsen for 50mins. The private onsen has a private toilet and dressing area which is equipped with hairdryer, body lotion etc. There is a water dispenser as well if you need to hydrate yourself. The onsen area has a washing area, and the hot tub area is spacious for 2 person. There are privacy screens around the onsen area but there is a small gap to let in cold air for ventilation. Wish there is a good view from the private onsen but it was still enjoyable!
Dinner and breakfast was Kaiseki style, and the meals were one of the highlights for my husband and I. We really enjoyed the courses which are clean tasting yet wholesome, fresh and flavourful. It was such a sumptuous treat!
The ryokan also has a souvenir shop if you wish to buy anything back.
Overall, my husband and I really enjoyed the stay here and we agreed this was one of the main highlights of our 12 days trip in Japan. Highly recommend!

UUtente ospiteThe hospitality at the hotel was exceptional! From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and a genuine willingness to assist. The attention to detail in service, from the personalized welcome to the thoughtful amenities in our room, made our stay truly memorable. It’s clear that the team is dedicated to creating a welcoming atmosphere, ensuring that every guest feels valued and comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a delightful and accommodating experience!
RRoger MichaelOk. First of all leave your expectations at home expecting hotel level service. Once you've done that if you want a cheap but clean place to stay this is it. This is a seinenkan - a facility for youth and youth-related organizations to conduct independent study and recreational activities, many of which have basic accommodation facilities but higher grade facilities than youth hostels. They are located all over Japan. I stayed in a tatami mat room on a floor with shared toilet facilities. The ground floor has a large communal bath - obviously separate for male and females. They have lights out at 11 p.m. and guests must return by the same time. There is a very modern cafe onsite serving cheap breakfasts (see photos) but the cafe closes by 6 p.m. There is a convenience store 10 minutes walk away so I suggest you buy snacks and beverages en route from JR Ishiyama station. For dinner, there is a family restaurant - good value and okay food - about 6 minutes walk away.
The seinenkan is located on a small island by a historic bridge. The views of the river inlet flowing into the main Lake Biwa is relaxing, lots of bird wildlife, and lots of rowers (the seinenkan is a water sports facility too). and the sunrise and sunset views are lovely.
The staff are very kind. It cost me ¥5,500 for one night and I will stay there again if I have the opportunity.

NNuonuokafeiGrazie mille per il servizio clienti di Trip.com. Ho salito dal treno di Kyoto a Liugen per contattarlo. Lascia che l'hotel accetti. Ha risolto i problemi velocemente come il fulmine e ha una qualità precisa ed efficiente! Quotidian ha raggiunto la strada di trasporto pubblico di Liugan per circa un'ora. L'arrivo all'automobile dell'hotel è stato chiaramente trovato secondo l'avviso. Mi ha collegato da solo. Cinque minuti di viaggio, nella direzione della città di Liugan, con la strada di bagaglio non è consigliata. Sarà molto stanco se prendo un taxi circa 700 yen. La metà della stanza dell'hotel è diretta verso la metà del castello.La vista del castello è molto bella. Ho soggiornato in fiori di fiori a aprile 2, 2025 solo dopo il 10 aprile, il piano superiore del quinto piano della mia stanza è in posizione di guardia del cielo e il paesaggio è di prima classe. La stanza non è grande, due letti sono inconvenienti su un altro muro. Una persona vive bene, la toilette è stata rinnovata, lo stile della stanza è più vecchio, non vecchio.Un'altra stanza senza paesaggi è più piccola e l'esperienza di soggiorno è peggiore. Ho preparato una tazza di bicchiere, cucina japonesa per cena. Penso che la qualità sia molto buona. Il cibo è un sapore di carne di porcellino, e la sincerità è generalmente piena. La colazione è più semplice senza uova calde, ci sono tutti i tipi di verdure fritte, la colazione è peggiore di quella di acqua verde maschile, il livello di cena è quasi uguale, sono hotel molto attenti a cucinare, e si può fare affidamento per scegliere un pacchetto con cibo.Il salone ha frutta di birra con questi piccoli pasti. La zuppa di soppa di uomo caldo non è sostituita, una zuppa di donna è 38.5 un 42.5, quindi una zuppa troppo fredda e un filtro, 4 1° meglio. La ragione per cui l'igiene ha dato una stella è che un'aquila verde ha trovato un punto di olio per cambiare il colore. Questa è la mia ultima decisione di lavarsi. Dice che non dovrei indossare. Il pomeriggio, il caldo e il caldo sono indossati nella stanza per bere tè. Come ho sentito il sapore di tè. Ho preso l'aquila e ho quasi non l'ho mandato via. Un cattivo cazzo mi ha fatto correre in bagno secco, cioè il tipo di cattivo che una persona con una forte bocca ha colpito diversi vestiti. Questo tipo di vestito non è come un camicia, non è un ospite, molto irriguo, le scarpe di trappola sono anche sgualdrine, il pavimento è un po'sgualdrine. E'difficile eliminare il senso di malessere per cambiare i tuoi vestiti di nuovo e lavarsi caldamente.L'hotel ha 9、 10、 11 a.m. e il personale della stazione di spedizione è attento.
UUtente anonimoHighly recommended hotel. Staff were very friendly and did their best to make us feel welcome. The room was spacious and the open air onsen was gorgeous. Meals were well presented and very filling. I would definitely return if given the opportunity.

BBoluoxingrenDa Kyoto a Tokyo, per adattare il tempo di uso della nuova linea di secco del tic, era pronto a prenotare alla stazione di Meiyuan, ma aprire la mappa per scoprire che la radice di Zhuang era vicino al lago di Zhuang, e ci era la città di Zhuang, che era qui per una notte.
L'hotel è molto caldo e molto confortevole, perché il tempo di arrivo è più presto, non è ancora arrivato al momento del soggiorno, ho riposato nella sala dell'hotel per un po'. La reception è molto entusiasta. Dopo aver pulito la stanza, ho fatto il mio primo soggiorno.
L'hotel non è lontano dalla stazione JR Wugan, ci sono molti negozi di cure vicino a 711.
MMelonimoniWe didn't know that this is a love hotel and only realised it the day before checking in, as the check in is only from 6pm. The room is very spacious and we didn't mind the ****, condoms and lots of beauty products it came with. :D However, I didn't know that hotel rooms in Japan can allow smoking, so the strong cigarette smell in the room was very off putting.
We put up a 'do not disturb' sign because we don't need cleaning daily. The second day I noticed some of the **** from the hotel were gone in our room but the room wasn't made (bed wasn't made, trash not emptied). I asked the staff and they said they removed it because they thought it bothered us. This was a bit weird to me, I'm not sure where they got the idea from and I don't know why they entered the room. It's also important to note that the train only runs once per hour most of the day (during some hours twice).
