Wonderful accommodation, with beautiful view from our balcony of Lake Biwa. Room is very spacious for Japanese standards. Staff was super helpful and helped me retrieve my dropped sock from the roof gutter. Loved the set dinner and breakfast spread was pretty good. Definitely enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

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.

As soon as I arrived, I felt like a VIP! It’s the fanciest hotel I’ve ever stayed at, and it felt amazing to be there. Breakfast was delicious, and had a good variety. I loved the apple juice!

It was really close to station and a nice short walk to a castle and town too. It was clean, convenient, and had lovely, friendly, and helpful staff. There were a lot of cute souvenirs you could buy as well in the lobby. We only stayed one night so didn’t take advantage of all the things they offered but we were very happy with our stay. The rooms were bright and not too small :)

Hikone is mostly a student town with the castle, and close to the largest lake - Lake Biwa. The sports complex is pretty nice and cool too. I recommend coming here during Sakura for the castle or even snow fall. 1-2 days is enough for a stop for sure.

Hikone is a pleasant place, but not one you should plan a trip around. Possibly best for a day trip. The atmosphere and climate is reminiscent of small cities in New England. The lake is pleasant, but if you're interested in kayaking you should try towns on the western shore of the lake, even though they're more expensive resort towns. Hikone castle is obviously the reason to come here, but there are a few nice local restaurants as well. Other than that, it's mostly auto shops and people revving the engines of their souped-up cars every night.

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.

It’s right next to Hikone station. They had limited, fixed-rate parking on site. The “rain shower” is awesome. The hotel actively discourages overuse of single-use products such as amenity items. You can also get room package deals that are cheaper by not having full cleaning every day. The breakfast salads were crunchy.

Great stay at a tasteful house with a charm, internal Japanese garden, balcony overlooks it from a vast room. Very kind and friendly host family, excellent value at Hikone. Good heating. Lots of eateries nearby. In house hot bath. 7-11 accross the corner. Have a walk at night to see the castle lighted.
