Reviews of Lake Biwa Marriott Hotel
Christopher Feng
Amazing hotel for the rates since it is a little off the beaten path for tourists. Despite the location, the hotel is very easy to get to: 20 minute train ride from Kyoto station on the Tokaido-Sanyo (Kosei) express line to Katata Station, and there is a shuttle bus that runs every hour between Katata station and the hotel. If you can't wait, the cab ride is only 10 minutes to the hotel, but be pr...

So you can choose some traditional tata...

Love their rooms, hot spring and swimming pool. Very special thanks to the...

Unfortunately our two days one night stay, it was raining and would be nice to see Lake Biwa not in gloomy conditions. We opt-ed to stay in the Japanese style room which we loved and have no regrets. The staff were friendly. We had s...
