"This hotel is far from Kyoto Station but in a quiet neighbourhood. Although accessible, should you want to stay here, factor in travel time - 20mins away from kyoto via JR lines. The building is old. Breakfast is good but i missed mine on the second morning as they closed 10mins early. Good size room - and I have a double bed for single occupancy."
Otsu City is the prefectural capital of Lake Country, home to tourist attractions such as Enryaku-ji Temple, Otsu Port, Mt. Hiei, and Lake Biwa.
It's about a 5-minute walk from the north exit of JR Otsu Station.
It's close to the government district, and you can walk to Hamaotsu as well.
It's also about a 10-minute train ride to Kyoto. It's an excellent location for both business and sightseeing.
