"From check-in to check-out the staff was courteous and took care of our needs. They have a restaurant on one of the floors, along with a coffee bar and bakery near front desk reception. They also have a roof top bar and other amenities. We definitely took advantage of the laundry which was super easy and convenient. The front desk were English-speaking friendly and also knew how to speak Japanese which made our unexpected situation handled smoothly. We tried to ship a parcel back home at a nearby post office thinking it would arrive by the time we returned to the States. Instead we got a message from Nohga Hotel that the parcel had some challenges and got sent back to post office and alerted the hotel. That’s when one of the staff members, Moe (pronounced “Mo-Aye”) contacted me and coordinated the logistics with the post office where we could get our parcel back on the right foot. She took the time to get the specifics and make extra efforts to ensure our package was going to ship properly. We definitely appreciated all her efforts and professionalism because we were already back home and felt helpless. This is why we love Japan, the staff and people are very willing to help out as long as you can be professional, open-minded, and respectful. If it was any other country this package would’ve have been a loss. Thank you Moe and Nohga Hotel for having the best people at your hotel. Something like this will definitely go far and we will return to thank you for the help! "

"Great location and beautiful property. "

"Loved it"

"It is great."

"Very tranquil and quiet property. Loved our stay and very friendly and helpful staff. Recommend booking the dinner option early as we did not and there weren’t any reservations left. We did book the breakfast. Would come back and stay for more than 1 night!"

"This place was cool, and had an emphasis on Americanism, with President roooms including a JFK room. It was really nice to experience! We noticed lot of school kids stayed in the hotel, probably for the American historical context, or that it was just right by one of the main train stops. Either way, the people in this area are all so nice and friendly, way more thab the big city of Tokyo. Genuinely enjoyed our stay around this place, and there's a ton of food options nearby, including a giant mall. The room we stayed in was pretty big, and the hotel staff are very helpful! Definitely reccomend staying here to explore the area, and to go visit Otsu and Koka Ninja House which isnt far from this hotel."

"Love this hotel on Lake Biwa - lovely rooms with beautiful lake view. Nice onsen and good breakfast 😀"

"The best hotel we stayed at the entire trip, staff was tremendous and we were treated like royalty. There was a constant effort even when we didn’t need it to make sure we had the best experience. Everything was clean and the facilities were gorgeous "
