Our stay at Lake Biwa Marriott Hotel became a perfect mid-journey retreat during our Kansai trip. After departing from Osaka and enjoying a wonderful visit at the Nintendo Museum, we arrived at the hotel for check-in. We were assisted by Ms. Yamanaka, whose patience and attentiveness truly stood out. She first arranged a higher-floor room, and later kindly helped us change to a better option with a full lake view. We eventually settled into a hot spring suite on a higher floor, which made the stay even more memorable. The facilities were another highlight. The hotel offers a wide range of well-maintained amenities, including an indoor basketball court, table tennis, badminton courts, and a heated indoor swimming pool. It was clear that these facilities were carefully looked after, making them enjoyable for both adults and children. The location is also very convenient, with PIERI nearby providing plenty of shopping options. For dinner, we kept things simple and relaxed — enjoying wagyu with instant noodles, which turned into a surprisingly memorable and cozy moment. The onsen facilities were comfortable and relaxing, providing a great way to unwind after a full day. One particularly thoughtful feature for family travelers was the self-service laundry, which made this stop especially practical as a midpoint in our journey. Breakfast the next morning was excellent. The omelette featuring local Omi ingredients stood out with its unique flavor, and the open lake view made it difficult to leave as we prepared to head to Universal Studios Japan. Overall, this stay offered a well-balanced combination of comfort, functionality, and scenic beauty — making it an ideal stop for families traveling through the Kansai region.

It’s my first stay at this Lake Biwa Marriott hotel and they have upgraded me to a hot bath and lake view room. It’s awesome to wake up with such a serene and colorful view with blue, pink and grey … I am staying mostly in the lounge to enjoy my drinks and snack. Jiro Tadumi is very friendly and always remind me the cocktails special tonight and also New Year Eve fireworks ! It’s one of the night I spent my NYE in Japan !

“Nice hotel, mas fora da cidade um pouco.”

O hotel em si foi muito bom, mas a um preço de se levam para fora do centro da cidade. Tivemos bons quartos amplos que foram limpos e modernos. Grandes camas confortáveis e uma boa gama de western e japanesse comida no incluído pequeno-almoço buffet.

“Nice lake resort!”

All in all, my nine year old son and I had a great two-night stay at the Lake Biwa Marriott. I will say that it took a few moments to get re-adjusted to reality as we had just arrived from the wonderful, wonderful Ritz Carlton Kyoto and this Lake Biwa Marriott is not a luxury five-start property after all. It's a big property with a lot of rooms, everything gets pretty crowded and there is a line for most things, from the front desk to the 1st floor elite lounge to the elevators to the 12th floor restaurant. That being said the place still has a lot going for it. Our room was very clean, nice and recently renovated, the beds comfortable and then in-room onsen with view on the lake oh-so-nice. The staff was always very nice, helpful and efficient. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner at the 12th floor restaurant. Like I said breakfast got a bit chaotic with a lot of people, but the breakfast food was pretty good. The views on the lake at sunset were breathtaking, the service good and we enjoyed our dinner on both nights. It was nice to get a discount, as a Bonvoy Elite, on the otherwise fairly high food prices. The sport center is really cool. We used the pool, rented bikes and we also took part in a kayak tour on the lake, which was awesome. Finally, a word on the location -- it doesn't get much better than that as far the lake is concerned and there is a nice mall nearby. We appreciated the hotel shuttle service to the Katata train station as well.
