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.

Great location! Block away from the river which was so beautiful and peaceful especially first thing in the morning, close lots of shopping and restaurants, as well as the Gion district. The bed was so comfy and adjustable!

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.

Was apprehensive about staying in a capsule hotel, The Millennial changed this. I loved the ipod managed units especially the bed to sofa function, projector and the individual fans. Guests were very respectful and quiet at night so slept well. From checking in to out, staff were lovely and couldn't be more helpful. Free tea and coffee, beer and snacks in the evening, fully equipped kitchen, beautiful communal areas, books and other thoughtful little details all contributed to a wonderful stay in Kyoto. Also, the location is perfect for visiting the sights and shopping. Like many before me, I've fallen in love with Japan and its people.

Clean comfortable hostel
I don’t usually stay in hostels, but this was a great experience. The beds were really comfortable and felt private. The airflow lacked a little when the curtain was closed though, even with a fan built in. The bathrooms and showers were always clean and I never felt gross using a shared space. The communal aspect of the lobby area combined with a daily happy hour really enhanced the experience if you enjoy meeting others traveling. It was a great way to share tips and recs.
