Positive: We enjoyed the private onsen in our room, it was very relaxing to soak while watching Biwa Lake and the city. The futons were very comfortable, I find they are better than western style mattress and beds. I failed to realise the hotel has a free shuttle bus you can summon so on our first night we trekked all the way from Ogoto-onsen station to the hotel uphill with our luggages. It's good cardio but I'd rather not do that again with luggages. The staff were very surprised we made it all the way on foot. Another bonus thing I liked, apart from how friendly and helpful the staff are, they are the only hotel so far to bring our luggage up to our room. Also the staff who drives the shuttle bus was waiting for us at the station at night without us calling, because he asked in the morning what time we will be back. The breakfast was very fresh, unfortunately I don't think really traditional Japanese food is our cup of tea. We thought the same at a different hotel as well so keep in mind if you are eating at this hotel and traditional Japanese food is not your palate. They have a small souvenir store that will come in handy. Unfortunately we did not get to try out the public baths. We would gladly visit this place again if we are in the area. I wish we could have stayed longer.
Summary: outdoor private onsen = heaven

Positive: Great experience, felt very different to our other stays in Osaka and Tokyo. Staff were friendly despite a slight language barrier but they used Google translate which was helpful. Pyjamas were comfy. Private onsen was very clean and easy to use, a great experience.
Negative: Location can be difficult. 20 mins walk from train station up hill, but they do offer a free shuttle bus. Not much else close to hotel area to see. We Couldn't check out until 7.30 am so it meant we were late going to Kyoto for the day.

Positive: Wonderful service and food. One of the best ryokans I’ve ever stayed in the area.
Negative: It’s a bit old in many places. We don’t mind it, but if not renovated, I think we might not comeback in case things break.

Positive: This hotel was an incredible experience! From start to finish. First, you call for the shuttle via a cell phone from the train station lol. The staff are SO friendly, they were incredible! The breakfast was traditional and a great experience! The rooms were sooo cool! We booked a room with an open air bath. It also had a sunken table which was awesome! It was a great stay!
Negative: Nothing to dislike but stuff to note, the breakfast is not created for the western palate, so be open minded and try everything! The open air bath has restricted times of use so keep that in mind. Also the shower’s outside lol so if you’re an everyday shower person, enjoy the fresh air. This hotel is not close to anything so make sure you get whatever you need before you call the shuttle!
Summary: Cool, traditional experience

Positive: The ryokan had great services including a free shuttle bus to the station, a helpful staff which does it best to understand our needs and a muslim friendly menu for both breakfast and dinner. Furthermore, the private onsen are really helpful.
Negative: The halal option wasn't displayed on my booking so I had to pay a fee to modify the meal plan. I think it was due to booking and not them.
