The hiking above Mii Dera temple was amazing. A lot of hiking options for outdoor enthusiasts. The Mii Dera temple is also not crowded and a joy to stroll around 20 minutes walk from hotel koo.

Very unique

I stayed at the Chaya house which was absolutely stunning. The staff were incredibly friendly and a joy to speak with. Otsu is a smaller quiet town with lots of character and friendly residents. I highly recommend checking out the local Izakayas and cafes for an equally excellent experience.

My husband and my experience here was absolutely incredible! The facility in the main area and our room was wonderfully lovely and high quality. The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. We celebrated my husband's birthday here and everything was perfect!

An incredibly well designed hotel! It's modern and yet full of history of Otsu. Certainly a hidden gem. The staff is welcoming and helpful. Not to be missed is their guided tour by the hotel staff. We love hearing the stories and the neighbourhood eating places are simply amazing!! We'll surely come back again. Thanks for making our stay a truly memorable one.

We traveled to Otsu on a whim and chose Hotel Koo because we wanted to experience what it was like to stay in a traditional Japanese home. This did not disappoint- the accommodations we beautiful, serene and unusual. The town of Otsu is very quiet, but the people are amazing and the walkability down to Lake Biwa is great.

The stay was amazing and the staff and really reassuring and helpful in anything you need. They really want you to love the hotel and the history and architectural elements which are amazing and the history of the location and facts about the area . Utilising the areas dinning areas and sake .

Nestled in elegance and exquisite machiya design seamlessly merges modern aesthetics with timeless charm. Each machiya is adorned with Nordic furniture, from plush sofas to meticulously crafted tables; each element is chosen with a discerning eye for design, promising a stay that transcends accommodation to a realm of refined taste and comfort. Thank you for the insightful tour and for sharing the history of the town; it added a delightful layer to our overall experience.

I usually stay at a typical Japanese Business Hotel but decided to stay a this newly renovated Machiya into 13 room guest facility. It was very will done. Large room and bathroom/shower. Common area with refreshments. A very comfortable place to stay.

Friendly staff, delicious breakfast and homey atmosphere!!!

施設は清潔で、ホテルに戻った時、用意されている飲み物で寛ぐこともでき、大変心地よく過ごせました。 大津駅や琵琶湖にも徒歩圏内で、東海道に面していたり、かつての大津城下であったためか歴史的建造物もあり、ちょっとしたタイムトリップも楽しめました。

町屋をリノベした建物で、インテリアは北欧風？でお洒落。宿泊した茶屋は昔の東海道沿いのため車や通行する人の音がやや気になり、窓も開けにくいのが残念ですが、ラウンジが隣で便利でした。 次回はひとすじ奥まった一棟貸しのところに泊まってみたいです。

The three of us share a private residence in the local neighbourhood. It’s quite an experience and we all love it

百年町屋 室內裡裝修現代型格，整體舒適休閑。職員服務有禮親切細心，悉心安排walking tour介紹週邊特式小商店，難忘的體驗。

自遊人の宿泊施設はここで3箇所目ですが、期待を裏切らないクオリティで、滞在を楽しめました。

とても木の温もりを感じました。清潔感がありとても過ごしやすかったです。是非また伺いたいと思います。

スタッフさんの親しみやすさ、親切さ、素晴らしかったです。セルフですが、ラウンジには特性ケーキやコーヒーのサーバーなどがあり良かったと思います。部屋も明るくきれいで、和と洋のホスピタリティの融合という感じでした。またお世話になりたいです。

気に入らなかった点はありませんでした。 長期滞在したくなるお宿。

ステキなお宿で、快適に過ごせました！ 近場のご飯屋さんもとても美味しく、またぜひ泊まらせて頂きたいホテルです。
