Family Basic Plan ■JR Ishiyama Station 2 minutes walkRoom type [Non-smoking] Triple room (spacious 24 square meters) 1 extra bedPlan details Check out: 11amThere is a parking lot! ️If you are going by car...reservations are required, so if you wish to go, please be sure to call the inn ☎️10 cars in front of the hotel, 1 car per night 1,500 yen🚘️Even if it is full, there is a coin parking nearby.Across the road and in front of you is D Parking Ishiyama Ekimae No. 1.15 cars can be parked 🚗Moreover, maximum 1,200 yen for 24 hoursMaximum night time: 400 yen (6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.)All day 30 minutes/200 yenIt’s cheaper than parking in front of the inn 💴Price: 1st night, 1st room, 1 adult, 7,000 yen (tax and service charge included)Usage points: 2.800 pointsRoom number: 701 on the 7th floorI really don't have a place to stay this time...I'm in a situation where I can't be selfish...😅The man at the front desk that night was very helpful ☺️The room was very spacious and comfortable ✌️The two beds are double sized, so it's not a good idea to sleep alone😆There were 5 sets of bath towels and face towels✨Amenities such as loungewear, toothbrushes, etc. are provided before the reception 😄However, you can receive amenities such as makeup remover by telling the front desk staff how many sets you want⤴️Coffee and tea are free, but in the morning the machine is moved to the people who eat breakfast, so you won't be able to drink it.I thought I'd like to have some coffee on the way home, but...If you are staying overnight without meals, you can take it to your room during the night, so it might be a good idea to use it when you're thirsty or to rehydrate in the morning. ️There are McDonald's and pubs around the inn, so you won't have any trouble finding food.There is a shop nearby that is open both at night and in the morning, so I guess either is fine.Large bath storyThe room I stayed in had a unit bath.It's been a long time since there was no public bath...Moreover, it's a unit bath, so you can't put a Jabone in it😭Too bad💧But I can't say anything because I made the reservation because I wanted to relax at the inn...🥹Please know this before making a reservation ☘️If you are using the station or can park at a coin parking lot (up to 1,200 yen for 24 hours), you may be able to park your car and take the train to Kyoto or Osaka.I forgot to take a photo of the inn 📷️But it's almost the same as the image that appears when making a reservation 🌱Thank you for taking care of me for 1 night and 2 days 🫧

The room was clean and nice.But the bathroom ceiling? Plumbing? It was very noisy as I could hear metallic sounds. My head hurt.Maybe it's because the person upstairs keeps the water running? I thought.I thought it was good that it was close to the station.

The hotel building can be seen from the south exit of JR Keihan Ishiyama Station. It's quiet despite being near the station. There are large supermarkets, convenience stores, and restaurants nearby, so you won't have to worry about finding a meal. Also, there are Ishiyamadera Temple and Lake Biwa nearby, so it can also be used as a base for sightseeing.

It's a short walk to the station and has good access, with National Route 1 right in front of you.There are many parking lots nearby, so there will be no problem even if you can't park your car in front of the hotel.The person at the front desk introduced us to some recommended parking lots nearby.The rooms are also well-cleaned and comfortable.Breakfast was also satisfying.Not having a clock in the room was a little inconvenient as I like to turn off my smartphone at night.

I stayed here when I was in Ishiyama, Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture. Since I was alone, I looked for a business hotel, and this was the only hotel I could find.Although the hotel was a bit older, the room was clean. There is a parking lot in front of the hotel so it was convenient.There were also many restaurants and bars within walking distance, making it a convenient place to eat and drink. It was about a 15 minute walk to the famous scenic spot, Karahashi Bridge in Seta.It was a convenient location close to eating places and walking courses.

It was good that it was near the station, had clean facilities, and a coin laundry.In the first room I was shown to, the pipes in the bathtub made a constant dripping sound that echoed throughout the room, making it unsettling, so I told the front desk and they changed the room.Breakfast is served buffet-style, and although it is small, you can enjoy a variety of options. However, I felt that 990 yen was a little high.
