Smile Hotel Otsu Seta - Otsu 2-Star Accommodation

Across booking sites, guests repeatedly praise 'clean rooms and friendly staff'. Many note the rooms are spacious for a Japanese hotel, and details like air purifiers or fridges get positive mentions. Business travelers and solo guests commonly call it good value.

Some complaints note the building feels old, and lights turn off when you remove the key, which is inconvenient. Minor issues like cigarette smell in non-smoking rooms or peeling wallpaper are mentioned. Parking is off-site, so check ahead.

Ideal for short stays near the station or as a base for Kyoto day trips.
