The holiday home has 3 bedrooms, a flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchenette with a microwave and a toaster, a washing machine, and 1 bathroom with a hot tub. The air-conditioned unit at the property features a bidet and a dressing room. For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and soundproofing. Well located and the historic neighborhood walking distance from almost every site. The bathroom building was very nice and modern and clean. The main house building was also very spacious and comfortable. The bikes were great for getting around town. And I absolutely loved the private Japanese garden in between the two buildings. even in the winter snow, it made it a delight to go back-and-forth between the two buildings to use the restroom or shower. I would have enjoyed staying another day. Thank you for offering such a restful and peaceful place to stay. I enjoyed my time here much more than I expected. It was lovely.

Set in Otsu and with Daigo-ji Temple reachable within 9.2 km, Hotel Koo Otsuhyakucho offers concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge. Featuring a bar, the 5-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom. The accommodation features entertainment staff and room service. Breakfast was an incredible cultural experience, and the guided tour of the townhouses and shopping street gave me a historic context of Otsu that I didn’t know. The coffee bar with snacks and daily free aperitiv was wonderful. Awesome to have an old wellpoint in the building!

The holiday home is equipped with 2 bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and a toaster, a washing machine, and 1 bathroom with slippers and a hair dryer. Providing free private parking, this 2-star holiday home also features free WiFi. The holiday home offers bed linen, towels and laundry service. We had this delightful traditional home all to ourselves. It was a classic Japanese style with modern amenities like bathroom and kitchen. A little sun porch overlooked the cute little garden. The communication with our host was excellent ( he spoke English) and he kindly transported us to and from the train station. We made good use of the bicycles provided and really got to explore everywhere from the lake to the city moat that winds through the old town. It was a great place to explore. We stocked up on groceries from a big supermarket a short bike ride away. We stayed 2 nights and loved every minute of it.
