I actually wanted to stay at Grand Mercure but ended up at Grazie and I'm glad I did! The hotel is overlooking Biwako and most rooms are treated to a great view. The front desk greets everyone who walks past and there are lots of sofas and seats in the lobby for a sit down. My single bedroom was also super comfortable. The breakfast was also amazing and the dining hall looks out into Biwako like the rooms and there are seats for singles, couples and families alike. The public baths is also situated on the top floor, ensuring a great view. Hotel is also 15 mins walk from Nagahama town centre where there are many restaurants as well as a good sized supermarket.

There is no coin laundry which I guess is part of how they are setting themselves apart from business hotels. not a big issue but people might want to be prepared (especially if you are staying here while on a cycling trip). The fridge in my room is very noisy when the compressor kicked in in the middle of the night.

If you plan to visit Chikubu Island. It's the perfect place to stay as the ferry terminal is just across the road. It's close to other attractions in Nagahama as well. The hotel is sprawling and huge. The staff was cheerful and helpful. The room is comfortable and quiet. Breakfast collection was good and I had it in front of a window offering a great, close-up view of Biwako

The long way to the restaurant for breakfast was a bit off putting but the view was excellent.

An amazing 4-star hotel located just next to the shoreline, and all rooms have a view of the beautiful Lake Biwa. Right next to parklands and Nagahama castle, and 5 mins from the city centre and old town market street. Staff is always really helpful and polite, the room was impeccably clean, and there is also free parking. If the hotel would have been located in Europe, a room would probably have costed twice as much as it normally does at Kitabiwako Hotel Grazie, and if you travel during the rainy season or similar, you can get a room for as little as £50, which is astonishing! The hotel also got an Italian restaurant, which I can strongly recommend, because it serves proper Italian cuisine to a reasonable price; normally, when something is advertised as Italian food in Japan it is either something that would make an Italian person cry (and not of joy), or you got yourself a proper but exclusive Italian eating place in Tokyo or Osaka that serves delicious food to a very high price and only to the select few. It is rare to get something that is proper Italian in Japan and 1) outside the big cities, and 2) will not ruin you for a simple meal. You know, if you want to take a short break from all the sushi and ramen...

Nothing really, when considering that this is a pretty damn amazing 4-star hotel by any standards, and especially when considering the price for one of their standard rooms. The only thing that you should be aware of is that the staff has become a bit less English-speaking when compared to before the pandemic (which is admittedly true for all of Japan), but the optimist would only consider that an opportunity to practice his or her Japanese.

The hotel was super easy to find and is located in a beautiful area right by the lake. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was good with everything required for a wonderful start to the day. It is a short walk to the old part of the town which is worth visiting. We were very happy with the size of our room and it was very quiet and clean. We would definitely stay there again.

Great location on the lakeside with several places of interest within walking distance. Sometimes there is a shuttle to Nagahama Station. Buffet style breakfast is available if you choose that option.

There were not many outlets in the room, so you should bring a splitter if you can. The pillow was pretty hard. The hotel restaurants close a little early, so be careful.

I particularly liked the view from my room which included Mt. Ibuki and Lake Biwa. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. There was a nearby lakeside park from which the sunset could be observed.

Faded Elegance and very comfortable. Right across from ferry to island. Great breakfast with stunning views. Nice jacuzzi bath. Inexpensive taxi to town center.

Sauna was out of service.

The dinner at the Italian restaurant La Spiaggia was fabulous. The meal and the produce was delicious and the wine service was excellent, something I thoroughly enjoy as a Sommelier myself. Even though it was a quiet night in the restaurant, we were looked after very well and not rushed at all.

Breakfast was a bit bland but under the covid-19 rules, it is very difficult to manage government rules and customer expectation.

The location is convenient if you intend to take the ferry.

I wish there is a shuttle bus from the train station to the hotel

Rooftop sento, you can see the lake from the outdoor jacuzzi. Everything was spotlessly clean, very nice, and the staff were excellent. I was doing the Biwako bike ride and it’s right on the route for that.
