Hotel Estacion Hikone

Only 1 problem, the air conditioning is too noisy

needed a place to stay for a reasonable price before school started and this hotel was very nice. Room was clean and the staff helped me even though I didn't speak the language. Also it was near the station so many shops and landmarks nearby. Will definitely stay here again!!

Few mins walk from the station. Exterior is not flash and consistent with most business/budget hotels, the room is smallish, has limited luggage storage space though neat and functional. Found a wonderful restaurant on the main street (heading from the station to the castle on the right side called Uomaru). Menu is Japanese only though a couple of staff speak basic English (I just asked for their recommendations). The bbq beef and assorted sashimi excellent.

The hotel is nothing special, the usual small cell and average breakfast. Location is great, nice izakaya nearby, close to the station and an easy pleasant walk to the castle which is really worth a couple of hours.

Title says it. Hotel was also very clean, good aesthetics. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

The Hotel Estacion Hikone worked well for our family vacation (4 adults traveling together). There were a few problems with our booking before leaving the US ... the 4 person Japanese style room was available, then it wasn't so we were given 2 western style rooms but when we arrived we were given the Japanese style room which was a fun experience. The hotel is very near the station and there was a bike rental 1/2 a block away that we took advantage of. My only complaint would be that the room did not smell very good even after we had the airconditioning on for awhile. Although the Japanese style room was fun, I would opt for western style in the future ... I like the comfort of a bed as opposed to the futons on the floor.

Good budget hotel catering for Japanese business people, but the double rooms are quite suitable for tourists. Compact rooms, like most business hotels of this kind. Excellent location, 2 mins from the station on the way to Hikone Castle. Tea, tv, fridge & internet facilities in the hotel room, Coin Laundry in the hotel, close to restaurants & shops.
