The Millennials Kyoto

Best capsule hostel I stayed in so far! Prime location in central Kyoto so everything around Gion, Kawamarachi, etc was walkable. The beds were amazing and everything was super clean. The 8th floor during free beer hour is great for meeting people. Wish this hostel would exist in more cities!

I stayed here as a solo female traveler for my spring break! It was very clean and quiet. The facilities, like shower, bathroom and shared kitchen, were easily accessible and well maintained. I was a bit worried about my things - there’s only a very small locker under your bed, and the rest is a sliding drawer for your suitcase - since the area underneath cannot be locked so your suitcase isn’t ‘secure.’ However, I had no issues with this during my stay! I just pulled down the curtain to my room completely every time I left and I never found my things tampered with or stolen! Every morning starting at 7:30, they serve breakfast for ¥800 which is quite yummy - all you can eat bread and soup! The staff were kind and helpful as well. The location is great for shopping as well.

Location is great. You go lots of places by walking. Common room is so good, different types of seatings and corners, to sit with people or alone. Its city view is also impressive. In japan you have water everywhere but tea and coffee available as free. Capsule was good, under there is an area to put your luggage. Bed turns to a sofa, too. I wish there was little more space next to the bed. They give you towels, toothbrush, etc. in a bag and you can get them again if you need. I was satisfied with the staff while check-in and during my stay. In the evening free beer was a good idea.

Genuinely everything -- facilities were great, staff were great, amenities were great. The beds had special reclining feature to go into sofa mode, and some pods had projectors. What??? Also, though it was pod style, it was really comfortable and didn't feel cramped or claustrophobic. I loved the design (you keep your luggage under the bed in a slide out which is super convenient). I ended up extending because I loved it so much. Also, great location!

I had an incredibly beautiful stay. Everything was clean and orderly. Everything is labeled very clearly, making it easy to follow the customs. The large common area was very pleasant, and there were always free spots available. The rooms/beds are very comfortable, and all my belongings fit both under the bed (in a drawer) and on the shelf. It was easy to sleep well at night. However, with so many people, there were occasional noises at night (rustling, coughing, rearranging bags, etc.). Therefore, I recommend taking earplugs, but overall, I was very satisfied.
