Ofuro Cafe New Biwako Hotel

I used it because there is a large public bath and a sauna. At the bath cafe, the relaxation area, large public bath, and meals were all excellent. I regret that I didn’t have time to watch the theater performance. The Hotel was a bit dated, but it was very well cleaned. Breakfast was said in Reviews to be limited, but there were both Japanese and Western options and it was satisfying overall. It would have been nice to have one fruit option as well. I would like to stay again.

This was my first time staying here.I stayed overnight and reserved a Hollywood Twin Room.The Room was incredibly spacious, the beds were large, and above all it was very clean and wonderful.The Room has a bath, separated from the living area by glass. When you’re not using the bath, you can see through the glass, but once you get in, it instantly turns frosted—this really surprised me.The toilet is also fully automatic: when you enter, the light turns on and the seat lid opens, and when you sit down an automatic wash control appears.It’s not something you’d typically have at home, so it was my first time seeing a system like this.The Hotel is connected to the adjacent Ofuro Caffe by a dedicated passageway, so it was easy to go back and forth.Ofuro Caffe has spaces where you can relax and take your time. You can also eat there, and they offer free theater performances to watch, so you can spend the whole day there.If I had to mention one drawback: since it’s an older Facility that has been around for a long time, only the baths felt slightly dated.Other than that, I think everything has been nicely renovated.*Regarding how many Hollywood Twin Rooms there are: I couldn’t confirm this on their website or elsewhere. I stayed on the 6th floor and could tell from the spacing between doors that there were at least two such Rooms. I’m not sure whether other floors have similar Rooms.*
