Nice stay
I had a lovely stay in Millennials Kyoto. Great spot for solo travel. Nicely located! The rooftop need to be renovated or changed somehow. It was depressing. Don’t forget to spend time in the bazar behind the hotel.

I love the free beer for one hour. The lobby was spacious and perfect for socializing. This hotel provided items like pajamas, towels, etc. for a small fee or no charge! It’s always a great time when I stay at The Millennials.

Bed was as expected small, but they made most efficient use of space as possible. Note it can feel a bit claustrophobic if trying to pack/manage items in your luggage

This is my all time favourite hostel. Everything is sophisticated, modern, clean, functional and spacious. My Shinkansen was cancelled due to the typhoon and I needed to get back to Tokyo. The staff spent around 3-4 hours trying to help me and others work out a way to travel. They were amazing and so friendly. This place goes above and beyond. Absolutely fabulous!!!

First time staying in a “capsule” hotel. I say “capsule” in quotations because it felt more high end and the space was big enough that I could stand on the bed (I stayed in one of the theater pods) not sure what the other pods look like but I had a nice sized bed and again, a lot of space. The only negative thing (but this is with all capsule hotels) is I wish you could lock your individual spaces. Fortunately nothing got stolen and they do have cameras everywhere but I think for piece of mind while you’re out exploring it would be nice if you could lock up your individual space

Stylish, functional and thoughtful design
Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. It is sophisticated, modern, functional, well set out and amenities are on point. Reception area and staff are fabulous, with comfortable lounge areas. Adjoining kitchen/dining area is modern and wonderfully equipped with a free coffee machine, kettle, mini oven, microwave and 2 stove tops. The system work’s immaculately and everything is clean. Free beer for happy hour. The sleep pod is large and cosy. The width is around 1.5m and 2m in length. There is adequate storage under the bed via a pull out drawer. There is a long mirror at the end of the bed, 2 hangers and a hook. The bed and lights are controlled by an iPad. The bed transforms quietly into a sofa with the touch of a button, but can also be adjusted to suit your preference. 2 comfortable pillows are provided. Mattress is a touch soft from use but I’ve certainly had worse. The privacy blind can be lowered to the floor or wherever you like. Showers are fabulous and mostly clean, with sinks and hairdryers at each basin. A washer and dryer can be used for around 500¥ total. The toilets are separate with their own basins, and can get a little wet but I love that there are paper towels for drying hands. Would be great to have steriliser in the toilets to clean the seats before use. The amenity bag has towels, toothbrush, hairbrush, slippers, tissues, razor, etc free of charge. The Millennials bridges hostel to hotel. 5 stars for aesthetics and thoughtful design.

Situated right on a main strip, there is no shortage of food or shopping options. Community spaces were functional. I would bother buying the breakfast next time, given the cost and the amount of options outside. Coffee machine could be improved. Very weak! Washing machine and dryer worked well and the shower was lovely. My pod was almost completely quiet at night. I appreciated everyone sticking to the rules. These capsules are bigger than most. I appreciated being able to stand up. Luggage is stored directly under the bed and there is a small safe for valuables. I never felt unsafe, but there’s only a scroll down curtain between your space and everyone else. I stayed for 2 nights and just scrolled down the curtains to leave… but it’s not a “lock up”. Free beer between 5:30 and 6:30 was a nice touch and people did mingle. I’m 50 and felt out of place. Yes I am generation X and the place was clearly full of millennials.. hence the name … I had a work call at 10pm, with African and Canada time zones and was able to use a private booth for the call.. which I appreciated. They have a rate for digital nomads for 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month etc… so there was a “work room”, a meeting room plus 3 private booths for calls.

This proper is a nice blend of hostel and capsule hotel. Staff is helpful and kind. This is a great place to meet fellow travelers to adventure around Kyoto. It is a good home base if you want to explore Kyoto.

Like a capsule hotel for high maintenance people— the beds were so comfortable and were controlled by an iPod for switching between flat bed and sofa form affording maximizing the pod space & comfortability.

"In total, it was not bad. This was the first time that I stayed at a hostel. For me, washing dishes was annoying. Besides, it could be noisy in the morning or late at night; you can hear everything, which is why I was using my earplugs all the time. The staff were nice, but it was still very exhausting that they couldn't speak English.

Excellent location. Very conveniently located, new and clean. My only thing is that it was extra 1,000 for cleaning your pod. I stayed 4 nights so I would recommend include it every 3 nights or something.
