The Millennials Kyoto

I have been in Kyoto 5 times and stayed in the Millennials for 3 times. As long as I travel alone, the Millennials is always my first choice. The convenience and the location is awesome, staff are always smiling and helpful. For all of these the price is really good! I really love this place and would absolutely recommend it.

I liked everything. I travelled by now 50 countries and stayed in many hostels and this one is in my opinion one of the best. the location is perfect, the service amazing, the staff friendly and so many ammenities. You can exchange your towels as often as you need to. the communal area is great. The workspace is perfect for remote work, they have social drinks in the evening and free water refill in the kitchen. The sleeping pods are very smart organised and built. what i especially likes is that there is no sound or light polution in the pod so the sleep is great. The bathrooms were also great, enough toilets and showers and a good washing area with sinks, hair dryers and mirrors. Additionally there was a laundry maschine directly in the dorm.

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.

There are plenty of amenities. You can take a fresh towel at the lobby, which is very convenient. In the late afternoon there is a happy hour where you can get a free beer and chat with other people. The location in the city is central, it is easy to get around. I would certainly recommend The Millenials to friends if they come visit Kyoto.

location is ideal, minutes to Gion as well as Harajuku, the main commercial center. Walking distance to many temples (inc. Kiyomizu-dera) and public transportation at the door for further temples and Arashiyama. Free-beer concept is smart marketing. Free amenities inc: bath towels, toothbrush/paste, razor & cream, ear plugs, comb, q-tips, tissues and slippers; friendly staff provide amenity top-ups. Bathtub located at the last shower cubicle. Shower gel is nice. I’d skip breakfast. pj’s are rented. Millennials is an established joint, so it definitely needs a spruce-up or revamp (the capsules, finicky projector ports, sofas, entrance). Nevertheless, the millennials is the best place to stay in Kyoto for its central location and super-chilled out vibe! ~i stayed a week and I’d definitely stay here again :)
