Situated 9.3 km from Shugakuin Imperial Villa, 10 km from Heian Shrine and 10 km from Shoren-in Temple, Hiei Blue Roof - Vacation STAY 13887 features accommodation located in Otsu. With free private parking, the property is 7.7 km from Mount Hiei and 8 km from Enryaku-ji Temple. The property is non-smoking and is set 8.7 km from Eikan-do Zenrin-ji Temple.

We booked this property with a bit of hesitation as there were very few reviews on booking.com and we didn’t regret it a second! It is in a very peaceful residential area, quiet, restful night’s sleep is guaranteed which was very important to us. The house is warm and cosy as we had a bit of a cold weather it was important. We felt at home and had a great base to explore the city of Kyoto, Otsu and all the surrounding area. There’s everything you would need in a household and more. There’s also a nice garden which we couldn’t use due to the cold weather. The owner is a very sweet attentive lady and a great host who took care of every single need of us, so that we felt like staying in a friend’s house. With or without car this accommodation is a great choice to escape the crowds of Kyoto and yet be in 25 min distance to downtown Kyoto. We stayed there for 10 days and explored the whole area. I cannot recommend Sayo’s place enough! I would love to come again sometime.

    The location is good, next to the lake. We drove there and the parking was spacious. The public bath area was good and very clean, but there were many people after dinner. The hotel provides shuttle bus to the train station, although we didn't use it. There was a mistake during the parking that even though the ticket was scanned at the front desk, the machine charged us for the parking. The reception was really helpful and reimburse the expense by cash right away. Thank you very much.

    This loved our stay at this hotel, we stayed in Kyoto for some nights and then at Prince hotel for another 3, the location is great and very convenient for Kyoto and other sights. The view from the room was amazing! They have is an upgrade and we ended up in a counter room which was more like an apartment with its own living room. Very clean and comfortable! Great value for money. The shuttle bus a great service too.
