Thank you very much for choosing Grand Mercure Lake Biwa Resort & Spa. We sincerely apologize that, despite choosing our hotel with high expectations based on recommendations from your friends, our pre-arrival communication and room arrangements fell far short of your expectations. Although we contacted you in advance to confirm the details of your stay and you kindly replied with your room preferences and specific requests, we regret that we were unable to respond to you before your arrival. We should have informed you in advance that it would be difficult to accommodate your requests, allowing you the opportunity to make an informed decision regarding your stay. We are deeply sorry that, after traveling approximately three hours from Kyoto, you only learned of the situation upon arriving at the hotel. We take this matter very seriously. We also sincerely apologize for the considerable inconvenience and burden caused during what should have been a relaxing and comfortable stay. Thank you very much for your kind words regarding the staff member who assisted you with the room change on the final night. However, we fully recognize that even though we were eventually able to provide a room that better suited your needs, we could not make up for the time and comfort already lost during the earlier part of your stay. We sincerely regret that your overall experience did not meet your expectations. We will share your valuable feedback with the relevant departments and review our procedures for confirming and responding to inquiries and requests received prior to arrival. We will also work to improve communication and information sharing so that, whenever we are unable to accommodate a request, we can inform our guests as early as possible. Despite the disappointment you experienced during your stay, we are truly grateful for your kind appreciation of our staff’s assistance. Once again, please accept our sincere apologies for not providing the experience you had hoped for during your important stay. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your valuable feedback.

I would like to extend my gratitude to the email support team. Since the replies were unsigned, please forgive me for not being able to thank a specific manager or staff member by name.

Nice stay and welcoming support throughout the whole stay. I arrived at 11:30 on a Monday after a 20 hr travel from Europe and it was a bit unfortunate, that check-in was not possible yet and even after check-in I had to wait until 3 PM to get into my room. I was very tired at that point. The buffet - breakfast and dinner - was exceptionally good. Fresh food, good quality and very friendly staff. I appreciated a lot the table card concept to show that a table was already reserved while picking up food.

View from the room was the best part of the room. The lounge drinks and snacks are a great additional service. The room, especially the washroom felt kind of dated but for the price of the room, I can't complain too much. Wish you had a few bottles of water in the room instead of only the water jug.

It was a family holiday with my teen children and elderly parents, all of them very fussy. It was an excellent stay as a good all-inclusive hotel should be. Clean, great service, fantastic view of Lake Biwa & tasty food. I was pleased that everybody was happy! Thank you staffs, chefs, and cleaning ladies at the shared bath (and everybody else behind the scene!)

It's a Sunday night so it's crowded. But the parking lot is large than enough. Snacks and drinks were supplied in the lounge before dinner time. The buffet dinner and breakfast were good too with a large variety of food. One downside is the facilities are a bit old. But some parts of the hotel have been renovated
