The room was a good value for the price. I wanted to visit Sekigahara battlefield museum, Hikone Castle, and Azuchi Castle museum & Shiga Prefecture Museum. So staying at the Comfort Inn Hikone was an ideal location. Good breakfast. Very close to Hikone Station.

Biwafront Hikone, hotel in Hikone

Located in Hikone, 2.6 miles from Hikone Castle, Biwafront Hikone provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Gorgeous facilities with a beautiful view and delicious breakfast. We were visiting from USA to see my sister studying at the next door Michigan Center. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to do the same - rooms are western style and spacious and staff are happy to help despite the language barrier.

    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.

    Hikone is just the right distance from Kyoto when travelling by bicycle to ride around Lake Biwa. Its castle grounds turn pink in the spring cherry blossom season and reflect beautifully in the moat's waters. Other seasons have their own distinctive attractions. In all seasons the local beef is great, all you need is an appetite.

    Nice castle and the lake.

    Nice castle and the lake. It will probably take just a day to see everything. There aren’t really much else to do, so I would recommend Hikone to those, who can’t go to Himeji or who really like castles. There are nice mountains as well, but this is another story.

    I enjoyed walking around the castle and garden.

    I enjoyed walking around the castle and garden. I was surprised by how much there was to see at the castle grounds. I found myself intrigued by the architecture and most of all the view from the castle was amazing. You get a 360 view of the whole town including Lake Biwa.

    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.

    Pure class and luxury! Fantastic onsen and view from the balcony! Exceptional customer service! Great size of the room considerably beyond Japanese but even European hotel standards. Free drinks in a super comfortable lounge on the top floor. The 3 stars raring given to this hotel must be a joke, it is absolutely comparable to a 5 stars one.

    I stayed here en route on a driving trip and was very glad to check-in easily and find the room was clean and quiet. The hotel has an onsen but I didn't visit it so cannot comment, but the buffet breakfast was good with a variety of Western, Japanese, meat, fish and vegetarian options. The staff were friendly and helpful.

    Really great place to stay! The owner is so warm and welcoming. He went out his way to prepare vegetarian food for me, it was a simple meal with good ingredients prepared with care. Really delicious. Not many places in Japan agree to do this so I really appreciated the gesture.

    It was fairly close to the station, less than 10minutes walk and was easy to locate with the bright blue sign at the top. The room was sufficient enough for us and 2 small carry-on luggage.
