Hotel Koo Otsuhyakucho

Hotel in Otsu

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.

Hotel Koo Otsuhyakucho is absolutely fantastic. The staff all display a unique blend of supportiveness, professionalism and kindness that made it such a pleasure to stay there. The vibe around the hotel is relaxed, but everything is maintained at a high standard. I really liked the lounge area, with the free drinks and snacks being a particular highlight. The room I stayed in was very large with soft beds and a modern bathroom, albeit designed such that it was in-keeping with the general townhouse vibe of the hotel. I would recommend both the shopping arcade tour and the breakfast to anyone interested in staying here. The staff will also support you in finding local restaurants that suit your taste! It is extremely easy to get to/from Kyoto from here (regular trains, taking around 10-15 mins). Staying here would be the highlight of any trip to the Kansai region.

Amazing friendly staff who were willing to do anything to accommodate our needs. Convenient location, only short walk from Zeze train station that takes you 10 minutes into heart of Kyoto perfect for day trips. It was also located across the road from the lake and was very nice relaxing neighborhood rather then busy centre of Kyoto. 7/11 down the street as well. Rooms were very clean and organized and had very cool themes. Pool table, dart board, and smoking area also available. Affordable price and great value for money. Will be returning when back in Kyoto area.

Absolutely satisfied with the hotel in terms of the location, the cleanliness, the comfort, the room view, the interior design, as well as their dinner and breakfast. Our rooms had a great view of Lake Biwa and we took a wonderful stroll along the lakeside in the morning. We had breakfast and dinner in the hotel. They had a wide variety of tasty food there while a number of other restaurants and cafes were within walking distance as well.

    I spent an absolutely perfect rainy weekend here in July. The machiya is beautiful, full of character, and ever so peaceful. So when a torrential rainstorm rolled in, I was very happy to have an excuse to stay indoors and soak up the beauty and atmosphere here. I had a large tatami room with enclosed balcony and a sitting room, and wish I could just move in! Delicious breakfast that kept me going until dinner time. If you’re looking for a taste of traditional, historic Japan with all the mod cons, this is the place to stay!

    Excellent ryokan stay near Lake Biwa! We had a private bath in our room which was lovely, and the room itself was spacious with a separate dining area which was very convenient. Provided toiletries were high quality and the ameneties bar was well-stocked. Staff were friendly and adept at using translation apps to speak with us as necessary. Whole area was quiet and overall a wonderful night spent.

    One of the best places we have stayed in Japan. This place was mostly out of reach from the hustle and bustle of Kyoto, yet close enough to many other overlooked attractions. The space was very well taken care of, and our hosts had top-notch hospitality. Special thanks to Sachiko-San who took the extra effort to speak with us in English and made us feel at home. Next time we might want to stay here longer to embrace the peace and tranquility of Otsu. Grateful for this stay!

    Very clean and comfortable to stay. They provide various amenities including pajamas and moisturiser cream, that may be common in accommodations in Japan but I didn’t expect they would provide it in a capsule hotel. The staff are really friendly and helpful. They would tell you good places to visit in Shiga prefecture. The breakfast was good and definitely worth the price.

They treat you very well, take care of you as if you were a king/queen. I really do appreciate all the staff there who made my 2nd visit welcoming & fun! The onsens were beautiful & relaxing. Food prepared by chef tasted so fresh & delicious. Rooms are huge & very japanese traditional style. I would definately come back in the future.

    The accommodation has a modern and cozy furnishing located directly at the train station. So commuting is so easy, also it’s a ten minute walk to the Lake and the concert house. I loved the various extras for ones own usage like Slippers, Pyjamas, toothbrushes combs and towels- so even if you forget something they got you covered. Also the staff is very friendly and very welcoming, they helped me a lot and were always open for questions. I highly recommend staying here!
