“Good value for money”
The hotel is amazing,clean,with all the facilities you may need. It is located right next to the train station. It is good value for money,but a bit far away if you want to do sightseeing in Kyoto.

“Convenient location”
Good location near to Lake Biwa. Suitable for budget travellers who do not wish to splurge on a stay overlooking the lake as this hotel is just beside JR Seta station which is convenient for travelling to places of interests at the lake. The hotel room was very clean. Breakfast was sufficient.
