The staff was very helpful. We enjoyed for a brief free bike rental provided by the hotel on the day we checked out. We managed to ride to the Hikone Castle before we checked out at 10am. Breakfast was delicious and well prepared.

The location is near the station. Room size is quite spacious for Japanese standards. The breakfast is good and tasty, for this price level getting breakfast included is an absolute steal. They have coin laundry too. Amenities always available to self pick up at the lobby.

Hikone is mostly a student town with the castle, and close to the largest lake - Lake Biwa. The sports complex is pretty nice and cool too. I recommend coming here during Sakura for the castle or even snow fall. 1-2 days is enough for a stop for sure.

Hikone is a pleasant place, but not one you should plan a trip around. Possibly best for a day trip. The atmosphere and climate is reminiscent of small cities in New England. The lake is pleasant, but if you're interested in kayaking you should try towns on the western shore of the lake, even though they're more expensive resort towns. Hikone castle is obviously the reason to come here, but there are a few nice local restaurants as well. Other than that, it's mostly auto shops and people revving the engines of their souped-up cars every night.

Hikone Castle is not comparable to Himeji Castle, but its surrounded by many cherry trees. It must look gorgeous during the blossom season. And in the woods below one side of the castle, there are huge number of white birds. It's very impressive to see them returing to their nets in late afternoon. And we do like the lake sunset.

Hikone is easily reached by Shinkansen from Tokyo with a short trip (5 minutes) in a local train. The town has much to offer - an island temple easily reached by boat; a hugely impressive feudal castle (1 of only 4 genuine castles still standing in Japan) with a good museum and surrounded by 2 moats and a beautiful stroll garden. Close to the castle is are attractive streets with good quality shops and some old houses as well. The town is comfortably quiet compared to the nearby Kyoto which is now like Venice and seriously overcrowded. The one disadvantage which the town could fix very easily is that the bus service does not have information on routes and stops in English unlike Kyoto. Finally the time to visit is late March early April when the cherry blossom for which Hikone is famous is in flower.

Likes.... Free and convenient parking just below the apartment. Clean and comfortable. Free wifi. Big 3 rooms. 2 tatami rooms and 1 bedroom with 4 pax bed. Overall big bedrooms for sleeping. Can easily accommodate up to 10 pax ! Near to Hikone Castle For improvement.... Apartment is dated and needs some updates to kitchen. Can provide basic ingredients like cooking oil, salt & pepper.

The hostel is located in a quiet neighbourhood, but is a short (~2 min) walk from the main road. The owner of the hostel, Mr. Noguchi, was very friendly and helpful and spoke perfect english - even lending me his bike to visit Hikone castle. The dorm area upstairs was tidy and pleasant and the bunk beds were comfortable. Was one of the best stays I had whilst travelling in Japan

The location was walking distance from Hikone castle - which is a must see. We were also able to walk down to the Hikone Harbour which had a nice sunset. The facilities such as the onsen and toilets were well kept. The rooms themselves were surprisingly spacious. The host was very friendly and kindly offered to give us a lift back to Hikone station.
