Very near to station! And situated opposite a mall where there’s daiso and a supermarket so overall it’s a super convenient spot. The breakfast spread (Japanese breakfast set topped with buffet spread) was tasty and good value for money. The room was bigger than usual Japanese hotel sizes we saw in the past and comfortable space overall. View was good too

    Hikone Castle is not comparable to Himeji Castle, but its surrounded by many cherry trees. It must look gorgeous during the blossom season. And in the woods below one side of the castle, there are huge number of white birds. It's very impressive to see them returing to their nets in late afternoon. And we do like the lake sunset.

    Hikone is easily reached by Shinkansen from Tokyo with a short trip (5 minutes) in a local train. The town has much to offer - an island temple easily reached by boat; a hugely impressive feudal castle (1 of only 4 genuine castles still standing in Japan) with a good museum and surrounded by 2 moats and a beautiful stroll garden. Close to the castle is are attractive streets with good quality shops and some old houses as well. The town is comfortably quiet compared to the nearby Kyoto which is now like Venice and seriously overcrowded. The one disadvantage which the town could fix very easily is that the bus service does not have information on routes and stops in English unlike Kyoto. Finally the time to visit is late March early April when the cherry blossom for which Hikone is famous is in flower.

    Hikone is just the right distance from Kyoto when travelling by bicycle to ride around Lake Biwa. Its castle grounds turn pink in the spring cherry blossom season and reflect beautifully in the moat's waters. Other seasons have their own distinctive attractions. In all seasons the local beef is great, all you need is an appetite.

    Nice castle and the lake.

    Nice castle and the lake. It will probably take just a day to see everything. There aren’t really much else to do, so I would recommend Hikone to those, who can’t go to Himeji or who really like castles. There are nice mountains as well, but this is another story.

    I enjoyed walking around the castle and garden.

    I enjoyed walking around the castle and garden. I was surprised by how much there was to see at the castle grounds. I found myself intrigued by the architecture and most of all the view from the castle was amazing. You get a 360 view of the whole town including Lake Biwa.

    Comfortable and clean hotel right next to the JR station. Not too much to do around the hotel, but the main touristy area is only 10-15 walk away. Wi-Fi was fast and stable. Breakfast wasn’t as good as in the only other Comfort hotel we have stayed before (Takamatsu), but it’s still ok and we have only stayed for 2 nights. I have the impression that somehow it’s possible to book the hotel without breakfast, but there wasn’t such option when I was making my reservation.

    99% of the staff does not speak English but all are very friendly and try to help. The public bath was nice. Free breakfast was awesome. You can rent bikes to explore Hikone (there are only 2 though, and sometimes get used). Parking is free. The ramen restaurant near the hotel was excellent and there are 24 hour fast food options close by, and a 7/11. The room was pretty comfortable. Price was nice. They have a shuttle as well.

    Pure class and luxury! Fantastic onsen and view from the balcony! Exceptional customer service! Great size of the room considerably beyond Japanese but even European hotel standards. Free drinks in a super comfortable lounge on the top floor. The 3 stars raring given to this hotel must be a joke, it is absolutely comparable to a 5 stars one.

    Fantastic location right across from entrance to castle with great views from rooms on the castle side - it was especially fun to see the castle lit up at night from our room. Walking distance to everything. Lovely staff. Large buffet breakfast with Japanese and western options. Spa services were outstanding.

    Breakfast is good. But location is a bit far from the station. Shuttle bus is convenient to/from the station, so it's not a problem except finding the dinner place near the hotel.
