We canceled reservations to stay here. It is extremely convenient to get up at any hour of the day/night, have a kitchen at your disposal and not have to worry about waking anyone up. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable, and breakfast in the morning was a perfect way to start the day. I would definitely stay here again.

Pros: Great Location, Social Vibe, Unique ExperienceCons: Unexpected City TaxExcellent central Kyoto location. Walking distance to subways, buses, restaurants, and major sights.First time staying in a pod and really enjoyed it. The happy hour beer was a perfect way to meet travelers and decompress. Love the 10,000-steps larger glass bonus!Only downside was an unexpected check-in accommodation tax. Staff explained it was a city-mandated fee, but it was an unpleasant surprise. Otherwise, highly recommend this lodging!

This was such a great experience and accommodation option. My partner and I did hotels in Tokyo and Osaka and the rooms are tiny anyway so we decided to give this a try. The property was extremely clean and the staff were the nicest. The bed was also super comfortable. One evening we enjoyed free beer between 530-630pm in a boot-shaped glass because we showed the staff we walked over 10,000 steps that day, I thought this was unique and fun. We never utilized the kitchen other than for free coffee and water, but it was very clean. I would definitely recommend this place for a unique type of stay!

The location is near to various train lines to get to different places, food places and shopping. Walking around from here is also easy, the river is nearby and across from it is already the Gion area.

My bedspace was very comfortable and clean. I slept well during my stay. There is a shelf above the bed where I could put things. Power outlets - there is one by the bed and one by the shelf. The bedspace area also has a full length mirror. With the remote provided, it was easy to change the bed from a sofa/upright position to a flatbed position - like a business class seat on a plane. There is also storage space beneath the bed but my 28” suitcase couldn’t fit in. I could, however, still place my suitcase flat beneath the bed on the floor when the bed is flat and when the bed is in the sofa/upright position, I had my suitcase upright in the standing position in the cube. For privacy, there is a roller blind you can pull down whilst sleeping or changing.

Amenities can be picked up at the check-in/lounge area and these are free. There is a fee for pajamas and if you request for cleaning of your bedspace.

Showers and toilets were clean but dependent on other users. There is shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, handwash, tissue paper, hairdryers.

Lounge area and open kitchen were great. There is a coffee machine, choice of teas, microwave, toaster, stove, water dispenser, utensils, pots, pans, crockery, cutlery, fridge, rice pot, etc. and a happy hour every evening.

Polite staff; clean; luggage storage. Good location on a very busy street packed with restaurants etc and a supermarket over the road. There’s an hour of Free Beer every night - it was pretty bad lager, think Fosters or something, but can’t complain. I liked the privacy of the individual cubicles and the way the beds could be controlled between flat and sitting up; I had a problem with my controller at one point but it was quickly sorted out by the staff. The cubicle was a little hot at night even with its fan on (which was quite loud). The showers were very good and clean but the toilet cubicles were tiny. I also didn’t like the fact the toilets were unisex; call me old fashioned but I don’t particularly like having to try to defecate as quietly as possible in a completely silent lavatory while there’s an attractive girl putting her makeup on immediately outside the door.
The lifts in this place drive me crazy: reception/kitchen is on the 8th floor - I was staying on the 7th floor - and the lifts were soooo slow and would sometime drop me at a random floor in the other direction I wanted to go. For some reason, guests were not allowed access to the stairway so Every time I went up to the kitchen I would have to use those damn lifts rather than just using the stairs as a normal person would and should.
Overall not a bad place to stay but I would personally not stay there again

Perfect location in Kyoto at the heart of all the shops and food. Staff was wonderful, free baggage storage was so helpful, and the evening free beer hour was fun meeting other travelers from around the world!

The Millenials is a great hotel. The vibe is definitely younger. Loved that they had separate floors for men and women. We stayed on the all women floor. The boxes were perfect. The sleeping area was always quiet which was very nice. The common/working area was spacious and very clean.

Everything about this property is excellent. The bathrooms and facilities are nearly new, the bed is enormous and comfortable. The setup technology is next level, with iPods controlling lights and bed.

The location is very good too, right next to the Nishiki market, major shopping areas and the Gion district.

Decent fittings, but very poor service

Generally clean and well equipped, but has the most aggressive check out policy I’ve ever seen - it’s at 10am, and by 10:10 they have someone pushing you out and charging late check out fees.
The social area is well equipped if you are working, but not designed for travelling. Feels like you’re hanging out in a WeWork.

Honestly the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed at… truly wasn’t expecting it to be this nice. The amenities are clean and great. The location is super convenient - near restaurants and metro. Very accommodating. And i slept so comfortably and peacefully. Everyone is respectful of your space and area. Only thing is how it might be difficult to get out the space when your bed it flat. So if you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you will most likely have to bring your bed up right first. If that is okay, then you would love this place!

This property is easily reachable from the Kyoto Station by bus. Less than a 15 minute ride.
It is within walking distance of the Nikishi Market.
There is a women’s only floor available and can only be accessed with room key. The bed was wonderful. It was able to raise and lower by remote control.
The bathrooms were clean and the showers were amazing!
There is a kitchen area where you could prepare food.
The breakfast was not really worth the price of the ticket. There was yogurt and juice and some breakfast breads. They also served soup for breakfast. There were NO proteins..eggs, bacon sausage. And no fresh fruit.
There is a wonderful bakery& cafe within 4 blocks. Definitely worth the walk.
Overall, I was very pleased and would stay here again.

Great social stay

Really good social place to stay. Was expensive due to cherry blossom season though and not worth the amount it cost, but outside this season would be good value. Room clean and comfy, bed moves between sofa and bed using control which was fun, only issue is not much room at foot of bed when bed down, tight squeeze to get out of pod. Free tea coffee and hot choc nice and kitchen clean and free to use too

Expensive, over-rated cinematic pod

The cinematic, theatre-pod was over-rated. I could not even get my projector to work, despite help. Another person showed me theirs and it's displayed against the privacy screen/blind for the pod. This moves and isn't straight so you get a very distorted image. You have to play videos from your personal device, which I was not prepared for. I thought there would be a film or TV selection, aircraft-style. The check in process was the most impersonal check-in experience I have ever experienced. My passport was demanded when I asked to drop off my backpack ahead of check in. My bag was picked up by a non-load bearing strap after asking for it to be picked up elsewhere. Later, I was welcomed warmly but the check-in process was relayed in a robot style with a well-versed monologue being shared by a disinterested receptionist. You also have to watch a video lasting several minutes, whilst others wait awkwardly behind you. I had breakfast added to my stay and this was the most surprising aspect of my stay. Keen to leave for a particular train, I handed my tray back to a counter where staff were washing up and thanked them. I was instructed to wash, dry and put away all the crockery, glasses and utensils myself. I have never experienced a place where you have a meal and then expected to clean up after yourself. Otherwise, the best thing was that shower facilities were on the same level as the single-sex bedroom and included a deep bath in one cubicle. The larger bed was comfortable.

I loved my stay at The Millennials! The pods, bathrooms and common areas were all very clean. I met a lot of cool people there and the beer happy hour definitely is great for connecting with others.

I don't know if I would get the breakfast again. It's only soup, buns, juice and yogurt. I'm dairy free so could only have the soup and buns with juice. It was good, just very small and minimal. It's more worth it to just go to one of the many restaurants nearby.

They let you keep your bags before check in or after checkout which is useful.

I would definitely stay again!

If you have short legs or are not very tall, you can ask for a step in order to get on your bed; we didn't know that and learned about it upon checkin out when I suggested that they offer a step🙂

I stayed here for one night witha group of friends and was really impressed with how clean the place was. The only thing I wished for was individual locks for each bed, in addition to the safe, to secure luggage stored under the bed. Other than that, the place was great—clean and in a good area.

The staff was friendly, once you set foot on the property you can feel the great vibe that it has, the location is great, it offers easy access to the bus and is not too far from the subway station, the rooms are so modern with the iPod as a remote to control the electricity and the bed; to make it even more amazing I would add a button to control the courtain.
The free coffee station and the hour for free beer were an amazing plus.
The hotel is next to a Main Street with a very walkable area close to restaurants and shopping.

The capsule, despite being so densely occupied is super quiet and comfortable. There’s enough wiggle room for 1 in the pod. It’s super clean and smack in the middle of the shopping street Kawaramachi. Breakfast is nothing to shout about but very nice gesture by the facility. Lovely space :)

This was my first \"Capsule\" hotel, and overall it was pretty great. being 6'2\" I appreciated the \"capsule\" had a full size bed, in pod storage, both under the bed and a shelf, along with app/iPod capsule controls! I also found that the bed being adjustable to almost a couch/recliner, made the capsule more functional. All that being said

The communal area was great, clean and full of amenities and an excellent space for meeting and chatting with other travelers. Accommodation floors were generally clean and well maintained, which clear rules and notices about quiet hours. I would recommend utilizing the earplugs that are offered if you are a light sleeper as the sounds of other units opening closing/luggage being accessed and re-packed and snoring may disrupt you.

The staff were all super friendly and helpful. Being able to store luggage before check in and after checkout, along with access to bikes for rent was really great!
