Very nice view of the lake. Very helpful staff. The rooms have a private onsen hot tub on the balcony. The rooms have tatami and are set up to sleep on the floor. You can request a bed frame to elevate the futon, but it's better to request a bed when making the reservation (although you may enjoy sleeping on a futon, Japanese style).

Stayed within the grounds so being isolated wasn’t a problem

My husband and I recently stayed at this hotel for 4 days and 3 nights, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay. The hotel offers an array of amenities, including an indoor onsen and outdoor onsens on each floor. The onsen was clean, well-maintained and provided the perfect way to unwind after a long day.

One of the highlights of our stay was the delicious breakfast and dinner that were served every day. The hotel offered a different variety of dishes each day, and we were impressed with the quality and presentation of the food. The meals were a perfect blend of traditional Japanese cuisine and modern twists, and we looked forward to every meal.

The staff at the hotel were friendly and welcoming, and they were able to speak English which made our stay much more comfortable. They were always available to assist us with our needs and provided valuable recommendations for local attractions and restaurants.

Overall, our stay at this hotel was excellent. We enjoyed every corner of the hotel, from the beautifully designed rooms to the serene onsen facilities. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in Japan.

My second time staying at Beniayu after about 10 years. Perhaps it was due to COVID that the experience did not feel as personal as before but the staff were generally polite and helpful. There were multiple foreign staff to perhaps help with communicating with foreign travellers but I felt that it kind of distorted the \"Ryokan experience\". However, its still a recommended accomodation.

This was a great place to stay for the traditional Japanese ryokan experience. Our room was immaculate and very nicely designed. The open air bath was a delight, and the massage chair in the room was an added bonus. The kaiseki meal (traditional Japanese multi course meal) was very good, albeit slightly expensive. The staff were all very friendly and did everything they could to make our stay pleasant, even though we don't speak Japanese. We also appreciated the free shuttle bus service to and from the train station.

Indoor onsen with lake view

Massage chair in the room was a nice touch. Staff were very helpful. Even helped us to clean our soiled shoes from hiking. Room facing lake was very peaceful. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. Only issue is salmon was used in many dishes (maybe due to the cheapest plan that I have chosen)

女性には露天風呂が外から見えるので違和感があるかもしれないが、まるで海外のビーチホテルのようなイメージでした。鳥が好きな人にはもっと感動があるかも

Small Roykan but facilities are well equipped.
Wide-view of the Lake and location is silent, but no shopping nearby.
You'll love the silence and peace atmosphere.
Around 10 rooms here so the public bath not a big one, while in-room onsen bath with lake view is the best.

HPで見るのとまずは印象が違いすぎました
食事もはっきり言って価格からすると満足できる物ではありません
部屋から見える景色だけは良かったです
湖北自体は好きなのでまた別な宿を探します

「おかえりなさい」の言葉で迎えてもらえました。👍琵琶湖の眺めは部屋から竹生島が望め湖岸の風情を感じられ良かったです。部屋の露天風呂に浸かりながら至福のひとときを過ごせました。今回は観光地に伊吹山を選択しましたが朝の出発時に「山は冷えますので」等、丁寧に声を掛けていただきました。ありがとうございました。長浜市街の観光地も楽しめましたので良い旅行となりました。

部屋から琵琶湖を一望でき、部屋の露天風呂も源泉を温めて入る方式だが気持ちよかった。料理も手が込んでいてとてもおいしかったです。

食事がすき焼きがメインということだったんですね…先付け等の充実感がなかったかな。お部屋付きのお風呂でしたが写真と様子が違ってあれ？それでも、スタッフのみなさんは一つ一つ丁寧に接してくれてとても感じよかったですよ。
