"the location is good and service is pretty good"

"Great Lake view from the room, full of facilities"

"The hotel is relatively new, about 100 meters from the station. The breakfast provided is in the bakery on the first floor. The taste is OK, but the fixed amount is two different breads and a glass of orange juice, which is enough. It is not richer than Japanese cuisine."

"It was really clean and affordable, which was great. The staff were also kind and attentive. I'd definitely want to go back again!"

"We had a girls' birthday party at Setre Marina Biwako. The forecast was for rain, but luckily we were able to enjoy the beautiful view of biwako from the lounge with a beer in hand. Setre is all-inclusive, so those of us who like alcohol can enjoy endless beers. Eclairs will be served from 16:00 and sparkling drinks will be served at the cocktail party from 17:30. This was quite delicious. Dinner starts at 6:30 pm, and the theme is ``Megumi'' (written ``Megumi''). Imagine a trip around Biwako and enjoy the blessings of the region. The dishes were inspired by the chef's desire to bring out the best in each dish, regardless of cooking style. In particular, the pasta garni was made with trout, which is typical of Lake Biwa, and I was impressed by its refreshing taste. Pairing is recommended for high cost performance. I can't speak about the wine, but I'm quite satisfied. It's morning, and you can have a cute morning set in your room. The morning coffee was delicious, so I thought I'd have it and go home, but they said they didn't have the morning coffee. It seems to be a setre original blend. My birthday was a success and it was a fun trip."

"I'm from Taiwan, and I walked to the hotel from JR Katata Station. As other reviews mentioned, it's an older hotel, and some of the decor might not be as new or modern. However, I actually find this kind of decor more relaxing. After all, being by Lake Biwa isn't a commercial area, and this style really enhances that laid-back atmosphere. I stayed in a triple room by myself. The room had wooden flooring. Upon entering, there's an entryway where you can take off your shoes. Inside, there was a sofa, a small table, a desk with a chair, and a movable TV. The room even had a rotary dial telephone, which was quite unique and the first time I'd seen one. The room basically faced the lake, with large windows offering an excellent view. You could see the entire Biwako Ohashi Bridge directly. On the first floor, the hotel offers free curry rice, juice, coffee, and various local sakes from the Lake Biwa area in the evenings. It's a fantastic setup, with plenty of sofa seating areas where you can relax, and even free massage chairs. They also have many toys and comic books you can borrow to read in your room. I think the public facilities are quite excellent. Breakfast is served on the 14th-floor restaurant. The variety of dishes wasn't extensive, but I found them all delicious. Several dishes were even highlighted as being made with local ingredients. The restaurant also has large windows facing Lake Biwa, so having breakfast while enjoying the scenery makes the whole experience worthwhile. Conveniently, there's a 7-Eleven, Lawson, and even a shopping mall within walking distance of the hotel. The hotel staff were all wonderful and friendly, and the front desk staff spoke English. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would definitely choose to stay here again when I visit Lake Biwa next time."

"Great value for money hotel. The appearance is very beautiful. And the room is very clean and the space is very large. While not using the other amenities on the property Another point is that you have to return the keys every time you leave the hotel"

"Nice environment, clean and sanitary"
