A nice hotel for a good price!

The hotel is centrally located in Hikone. The staff were amazing and so accommodating. A good breakfast came with the room. Free bike rental (just a deposit while you have the bike). Room was clean as well.

Straightforward and inexpensive

This is a typical Japanese small business hotel. Room and bathroom are, therefore, also small. The room has a fridge, tea maker, and large flat-screen TV. The complex is clean. Front desk is well attended and friendly. Limited English is spoken. And I had no problems communicating.
Several small restaurants close by.
Groceries can be bought across the corner in a tiny mall. Hikone Castle is a 10 minute walk towards Lake Biwa.
Commuting to nearby firms for business is easy via train.
There are coin-operated washers and dryers in the first floor utility room.

Japanese Experience

needed a place to stay for a reasonable price before school started and this hotel was very nice. Room was clean and the staff helped me even though I didn't speak the language. Also it was near the station so many shops and landmarks nearby. Will definitely stay here again!!

Convenient budget hotel

Few mins walk from the station. Exterior is not flash and consistent with most business/budget hotels, the room is smallish, has limited luggage storage space though neat and functional.

Found a wonderful restaurant on the main street (heading from the station to the castle on the right side called Uomaru). Menu is Japanese only though a couple of staff speak basic English (I just asked for their recommendations). The bbq beef and assorted sashimi excellent.

Good location for short stay

The hotel is nothing special, the usual small cell and average breakfast. Location is great, nice izakaya nearby, close to the station and an easy pleasant walk to the castle which is really worth a couple of hours.

convenient

The Hotel Estacion Hikone worked well for our family vacation (4 adults traveling together). There were a few problems with our booking before leaving the US ... the 4 person Japanese style room was available, then it wasn't so we were given 2 western style rooms but when we arrived we were given the Japanese style room which was a fun experience. The hotel is very near the station and there was a bike rental 1/2 a block away that we took advantage of. My only complaint would be that the room did not smell very good even after we had the airconditioning on for awhile. Although the Japanese style room was fun, I would opt for western style in the future ... I like the comfort of a bed as opposed to the futons on the floor.

Excellent location between Station & Hikone Castle

Good budget hotel catering for Japanese business people, but the double rooms are quite suitable for tourists. Compact rooms, like most business hotels of this kind. Excellent location, 2 mins from the station on the way to Hikone Castle. Tea, tv, fridge & internet facilities in the hotel room, Coin Laundry in the hotel, close to restaurants & shops.

キレイな部屋でした。
1階のレンタカー屋と一緒のチェクインカウンター、2階がチェックアウトカウンターなので注意です。泊まった部屋はベッドサイドにコンセントが無かったので寝そべりながらスマホいじりは出来ません。予約の際に喫煙、禁煙の記述が無かったので問い合わせたら予約は喫煙部屋だが禁煙部屋が空いているので変更可能とのことで変更してもらえました。2階に懐かしのマンガがズラリと並んでいたので、部屋に閉じこもって読み耽るのも良いかも？

とりあえず泊まるだけ、という感覚で。

ホテルとしては古いです。綺麗ではありますが、アメニティは充実していません。最低限のシャンプー、リンス、ハンドソープ、歯ブラシ。日本茶のティーパックのところに綿棒があり、ドライヤーはありました。スタッフさんはもんだいありませんでした。とりあえず泊まるだけという考え方でご予約されるよ良いと思います。駐車場は、ホテルには無いので、道路を挟んで目の前の500円パーキングでした。近くにセブンイレブンがありました。
