Breakfast was an incredible cultural experience, and the guided tour of the townhouses and shopping street gave me a historic context of Otsu that I didn’t know. The coffee bar with snacks and daily free aperitiv was wonderful. Awesome to have an old wellpoint in the building!

Very big room size and the view of Lake Biwa from every room. The room is newly renovated. Some parts are still old fashioned (i.e bathroom fixtures and electronics) but still in perfect working condition.
