6/10 Good

Unfortunately the pod I stayed in did not appear to be terribly clean as there had been quite a few large stickers that had been peeled off the walls but not cleaned off properly. There was a good supply of linen. Lockers were too small so main backs were kept in the common room so suggest bring padlocks for bags. Unfortunately the common area appeared dusty and dirty and overall felt unwelcoming. The hotel restaurant staff were running the capsule hotel so general reception area was an after thought. So the experience was functional overall but not hospitable.

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!

The beds were terrible. The pillows were not much better. Every time you moved in the bed the entire capsule creaked. The mattress was paper thin but everything else was great

2/10 Poor

Repugnant

Awful place to stay. Avoid at all costs. The rooms smell so bad of cigarette smoke it’s nauseating. The pillows are these rock hard tiny things. The toilets were filthy and has mould all over it. It’s cheap yes, but my god it’s not worth it.

モダンなカプセルホテルで想像していたより快適でした。 カプセルルーム、共有スペースはとても綺麗でしたが、それだけに洗面台の蛇口がぐらついていたり、共有スペースの椅子に置いてあるクッションに少しシミがあったりしたところが残念でした。 駅直結のため、列車の音が気になるとの口コミがありましたが、私は全く気にならずよく眠れました。 近くに行く機会があればまた利用させていただきたいと思える施設でした。、

入口が分かりにくい。 大津駅の駅舎と同じ建物内にあるので当たり前にアクセスは良い。 電源を確保できるスペースはあるが、照明の配置的に手元が影になるので、書き物や勉強などには向かない。 が、スターバックスが同じ建物にあるので、勉強はそこですればいいと思う。 総じて、非常に安価に泊まれるのは魅力的だと思う。

朝食付きにしていないのでわかりませんが、日中のレストランはほぼ満席で人気なんだなぁと思いました。 居室スペースは半分位埋まっていたように思いますが、皆さん静かに過ごされていたので特に困ることはなかったのです。 冷房は夜中は切れてしまうのかじわっと汗かきました💦 室内着はやや小さめです。気になる方は自前のものを用意する方がいいと思います。

とても清潔で快適でした。朝食もリーズナブルでおいしい！カプセル内では電車の音とわずかな振動は感じましたが、全然許容範囲内です。駅直結アクセスの良さやコンビニ、スーパーに雨に濡れずに行ける利便性、トータルでコスパ良いと思います。

駅ビルの中にしてはオシャレな印象です。スタッフの対応は全然ダメで、ちゃんとしてないコンビニ並みです。 入館時にレストランの中を通るのは、ホテル利用者にとってもレストランのお客さんにとってもよくないかなぁ。なんでこんなレイアウトにしたのだろう？？？
