Ryokans in Shiga Prefecture

"As far as what I didn’t like there is not much that I can think of other than clothes are hard to dry in high humidity. This was not the hotels issue . The property was super clean, staff was fantastic, and it was connected by a short bridge walkway to the train system. Super easy to navigate all over Kyoto. We received a 1000 yen voucher per person in our room which we used at the steakhouse on property. By far top 5 dinners I’ve had, ever…I would highly recommend Hotel Emion Kyoto to anyone thinking of traveling to Kyoto. "

"Great stay! Very modern, clean, plenty of in-room amenities, and really helpful staff. The location was also unbeatable, right inside Kyoto station. The executive lounge is one of the best we’ve stayed at, they offer cocktails (on top of self serve options) and all the food, coffee/matcha, other drinks, and desserts were very good. The breakfast buffet at Le Temps had great western and Japanese offering. The only con is they have really small pillows "

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! It’s conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from the Shinkansen station and is centrally located near many popular attractions, making it easy to explore the area. The air conditioning worked perfectly — a big plus after a warm day of sightseeing! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and like everywhere in Japan, the customer service was top notch. We were also able to drop off our luggage early, and the process was smooth and easy to arrange. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!"

"Clean and comfortable room, close to train station, great breakfast buffet and coffee machine. Would stay again."

"Wow — amazing stay! This was the best hotel we stayed at during our trip to Japan. The breakfast buffet was incredible — so many delicious options to choose from! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, always going out of their way to make us feel welcome. We also loved the complimentary drinks available all day, which was a nice touch. The location is perfect, just across the street from Kyoto Station, making it super convenient for sightseeing and travel. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely return next time we’re in Kyoto! "
