Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 4 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Overall it is really an excellent hotel. Many of the rooms should be updated, but still they are adequate and spacious. The breakfast area can be busy, but there is a large adjacent room with plenty of space. The hotel staff were great. The onsen has a spacious indoor bath and plenty of washing areas. The outdoor bath is very pleasant, just be careful walking on the stone surfaces. The staff takes good care of the onsen and sauna. The location is good. You can walk to Nagahama JR station and the old town area is just beyond. The lake and the large beautiful next door park and castle is good for walking. There are not many restaurants open at night in central Nagahama, but you can probably find something. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claude 18 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The 5 stars is based on the Expedia value and I arrived after dark. With current exchange I paid $46usd for a standard double room. The property has blemishes but it was a tremendous value (even before exchange). My experience was one night and I didn't soak in the public bath. But the residents appeared to enjoy it. I would definitely look at this property again if I'm in Nagahama. ##### Claude Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Akiko 14 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness どこのグランドメルキュールもそうだがラウンジの混雑がひどい ##### Akiko Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yuka 14 Nov 2025 とても良かったです♪また泊まりたいです。 ##### Yuka Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Conny 10 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Alles prima :) ##### Conny Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kazuyo 6 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities ラウンジで、フリードリンク、おつまみもフリーで ゆっくり楽しめました。 大浴場の近くのくつろぎスペースもゆったり時間を過ごせて最高でした。 また行きたいです。 ##### Kazuyo Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### EMI 4 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness 部屋からの眺望も良かったのと、思ったより部屋が広かったです。 部屋の階のフロアー廊下も綺麗でした。 ![部屋からの朝日](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aea1074a-a690-46ab-b5d6-3bb4bbbb071d-1762218378458.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![階のフロアーが広かった](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b18fe0b5-83ed-4fee-b398-e1eee8871747-1762218378589.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### EMI Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kin Hung 2 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities 房間夠大，早餐豐富，面對湖景進餐很舒適。 ##### Kin Hung Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### YOSHIO 26 Oct 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities フロント人数不足と、待たせないマナーができてない ##### YOSHIO Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### TAKUYA 21 Oct 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 朝食の内容も乏しく、人も多く、スタッフが少なく、争奪戦、楽しく食事できる雰囲気がない。 ##### TAKUYA Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ka Wai 20 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 房間雖然有點舊但很整潔，美中不足是除了牙刷外酒店沒有提供任何梳洗用具如鬚刨和梳等. 房內也沒有如茶包和咖啡包之類的自助飲品. 如果想在便利商店購買零食或用品最近的要在JR站. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ecac77fe-afca-4126-baa5-436339e67f00-1760974899747.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f7558552-080c-460d-83bd-405467df1dae-1760974900682.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2411019c-dedb-4c5a-b511-5dbab208d6d5-1760974900287.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2b03020d-81a2-4dfd-86b1-49653c0c69e1-1760974903408.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ka Wai Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tetsuya 18 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 琵琶湖への眺望がよく、また歩いて直ぐに琵琶湖を楽しめるので、このホテルに決めています。ウエルカムドリンク等も満足度が高いです。温泉も楽しめるので言う事なしです。 ##### Tetsuya Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ##
