    The Millennials Kyoto is a very good capsule experience for solo travelers in the Kawaramachi-Shop area with easy access

    I didn’t like that there is a high percentage of foreigners in 2024 that don’t know capsule hotel ettiquette. This means that sleep floors are often chatty at night sigh groups of travelers talking after 10pm. It seems to be a high-end hostel now.

    I like the coworking hub, and unlike other capsule hotels, the pods can hold luggage. The Millennials has the best proportion of pods per floor. I’ve been to other capsule hotels like First Cabin and it’s too busy.

    It is not the hostel's fault, but there were a few snoring guests on 2nd the 3rd night, pretty much a gamble wherever you stay.

    I stayed for four nights. It is probably the best hostel to stay in while visiting Kyoto. It has an unbeatable central location, a huge common area for work and socialization, free beer hour, and cozy and comfortable beds/capsules. I haven't tried breakfast. I would definitely stay again.

    Large communal area had no atmosphere, just some music playing whilst giving out the free beer would have been better You could enter the building without a key even late a night.

    The sliding under bed storage can fit a full suitcase, but may need a little persuading to do so.

    The best place I've been so far. The staff is so friendly, the pods are great, especially the theather pod. There is no noise, you can have a good sleep. There is place where you can eat, drink or work. Great location, most of the atractions are within walking distance and bars and restaurants are really close by. I highly recommend this place to everyone, you won't regret it.

    A bit pricey compared to other hostels. Only one washer machine per floor, and it broke during my time at the hostel.

    Super modern capsules, very clean and well located. Bathroom was available with shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and hairdryer. Common lounge area was very spacious and provided coffee/tea. Staff super friendly and helpful! I’d definitely stay again!

    I would give 10 stars but there were some loud guests after 10:30pm which was disappointing and disruptive to sleep - this is not the hostels fault though.

    Fantastic hostel right in the heart of the main shopping and restaurant area. Comfortable beds, amazing modern facilities including lounge area and great showers. Everything was really comfortable, clean and modern. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

    Laundry facility costs a lot of coins. Theater pods not worth it. Projected screen is not straight at all so can’t see anything properly.

    Great value, staff, unbeatable location! Nice work lounge with everything needed for life. Fast WiFi! Great networking space as well. The office has phone booths and Herman miller chairs which is so luxury.

    I'm a millenial staying at a Millenial Hotel! :-) I absolutely enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Everything is super efficiently designed for a very good price. The location is great as well, some sights are within walking distance, and the metro station is closeby. There are a lot of restaurants and cafés around to pick from. The common lounge area is great, as well as the separated working area, everything is thought of. Can highly recommend this stay!

    Clean, well thought of facilities. Would stay here in again if I ever come to Kyoto on a solo trip again. Loved the lounge and the theater/mart pod was an absolute game changer (it has a projector, a really goood reclining bed, plus it can comfortably fit two bodies even though it’s just for one) Also walking distance away from the more quiet cafes of kyoto.

    If there is some room for stretching or general physical conditioning, my experience was more perfect. After travelers a few days, my body got stiff, but it was hard to do any stretching in the hotel.

    - Nice view of Kyoto and mountain - Free beer social - Coworking equipment - Automated Bed room - The center of Kyoto - Clean shower and bath rooms - Clear check-in and check-out instructions

    Can’t think of anything!

    Amazing boxes acting as rooms, iPod control is a really interesting idea that works! You have a locker under your bed that fits all your items. Place is super clean. The common area was great for meeting other guests as well as staff members, who offered me tremendous amounts of help and tips not only for Kyoto but other parts of Japan.
