"Location was phenomenal close to everything!"

"It was the Japanese spirit people come to experience in their trip to Japan,but rarely do!To look out on that garden whilst having the hotel breakfast especially prepared individually on locally made pottery was a highlight of my visit to Japan.The staff are exceptional in behaviour and manners.This experience in the mountains outside of Kyoto was tryly unique"

"I’ve been to many capsules across Japan and my stay here was at the too. Yes, I’ve stayed in Kyoto, Osaka, but wanted to spend a few days in Ōtsu and experience a slower pace and so glad I did! The reviews on Google and Orbitz rated The Calendar high so I gave it a try and I was not disappointed. However, I do need to mention if you are sensitive to smell you might notice the slight scent of smoke. The entire capsule is non-smoking, however there is a smoking room, that when smokers return it might linger with them. To me, I only noticed the first hour at check-in and after that I didn’t notice anything. The good? How about everything else! No elevator so if you have two luggage you might need to make two trips, but the steps you are greeted by a very popular Italian restaurant which is part of the hotel. The staff is friendly, professional and will make your stay pleasant. The bed is somewhat on the thin side and pillow non-existent, but overall I had no issues falling asleep. In your capsule you do have a TV but good luck finding anything with subtitles lol. The bathrooms and showers are modern and clean, The common area very spacious and relaxed. The bonus is it’s at the entrance/exit of the JR train station! Biwa Lake a 10-minute walk away. So if in Ōtsu looking to get away from the crowds I highly suggest a stay at The Calendar. I stayed for two nights and felt recharged going back to Osaka. 10-stars! Arigatō! "

"Overall this was a very good stay. You take your shoes off upon entering the hotel. You are not allowed to wear your shoes. You get the traditional vibe. The room was clean. The staff were attentive. Our room did not have a bath tub. If you have tattoos you will NOT be able to use the spa/sauna bath. Which I know Japan is notorious for not allowing tattoos. But I was hoping since so many tourists stay there they would be a little lenient. "

"We had a wonderful time! The staff were kind and helpful. Our room was beautiful and the onsen was so relaxing. If you want an authentic and rejuvenating ryokan experience - this is the place!"

"Amazing hotel !!! Love everything about it - the staff, the room, the deco, the location … felt great while staying here. "

"I was really grateful to have been given such great service throughout my stay here. They truly went above and beyond to make sure I was treated with a warm and inviting welcome to their hotel. The room and amenities were wonderful. I would definitely choose to stay here again!"

"An exceptional stay from start to finish. Gracious hospitality, a true time capsule with updates in all the right places. The japanese breakfast every day was truly memorable, and the coffee shop on the property was beautiful as well. I could not recommend more, 10/10 stay, worth the price! We stayed in the private cabin and it was perfect. "

"This is my fifth time staying at the Westin Miyako. The location is superb for seeing temples on the west side of Kyoto, and it’s always easy to get around, either via their free shuttle bus to Kyoto Station, or by nearby public transit with a few blocks’ walk. The staff offers world class hospitality. I could not have asked for a better stay. "
