Situated a 1-minute walk from JR Seta Train Station, APA Hotel Biwako Seta-Ekimae offers Western-style rooms with free WiFi and flat-screen TVs. It provides 24-hour reception and laundry facilities.

I liked the service,; every day clean towels and dressing gown. The room has Slippers, good internet, and the switches next to your head were really comfortable.

There is a good standard to providing service and everything I needed for a good night's rest was provided. Breakfast was adequate and there are many food options near the hotel. There is also a good sized supermarket just round the corner.

Set within 12 km of Shoren-in Temple and 12 km of Samurai Kembu Kyoto, Enmanin Sanmitsuden - Vacation STAY 03295v offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Otsu.

The place was incredibly peaceful. It's situated near Bodai Temple, and in the morning, I accompanied some people in their worship rituals at the temple. Experiencing this Japanese-style garden worship was truly a new and enriching experience for me.

    From my perspective, there wasn't much to do within a mile...

    From my perspective, there wasn't much to do within a mile walk of the property. Only one restaurant off site in that mile two convenience stores and if you walk a bit further a pretty mellow "redlight" district

    Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh.

    Otsu Town seems not beautiful at first sigh. But go to have a walk behind the hotel. The countryside is like a Miyazaki movie getting real ! You can go near from there : temples, beach, ski station with incredible view… But with the hotel’s shuttle and the station you have Kyoto, very near, Nara, Osaka a little farther. You’ve got all Kansaï by JR… A good tip : when you go to the station to Shirahige shrine, don’t take bus but walk with GPS. The way is just incredible with village, other shrines so quiet and monkey looking at you from the forest behind rice fields…

    Otsu, located near Kyoto, is another treasure place in Japan...

    Otsu, located near Kyoto, is another treasure place in Japan. Faced to Biwa lake it has many historical monument and cultural hotspots. In summer the big firework event is so famous to attract many people. In Biwako Hall many world class concerts and plays are performed. Local fishes and sakes are another charm for visitors. Once you come here you cannot help missing this unforgettable city.

    Great view of Lake Biwa in all rooms. The scenery from the room is relaxing that you may want to stay inside the whole day. Size of room is bigger than a typical hotel in Japan. Daily cleaning of room is done. Round trip hotel shuttle to Otsu station is available every 30 mins. Waiting area for the shuttle are few steps away from Otsu Station. There is a supermarket few steps from the hotel. You can rent bicycle from the hotel to go around lake biwa.

    Staff were very friendly and kept my bag for me while I went traveling around the city. They even upgraded my room to a twin (which has never happened to me before) so I got to enjoy a larger room. Beds were comfy, complimentary water was provided. Even the VOD was free (this is usually a paid service, so was a nice surprise). Hotel is also located a stone's throw away from the local station, and has a convenience store right next door.

    Huge room size and the bed is just facing towards the lake. The view is magnificent. Breakfast is great with lots of food option. Bike rental available (normal bike & electric bike). The hotel also provide shuttle bus service to Otsu Station (3 bus every hour). The Pier is just few steps from hotel and they offer 20% off for cruise ticket.
