People throwing up all night; hotel did not care
Kept up all night by people coming in and out of the room. People were throwing up loudly and going in an out of the bathroom to throw up all throughout the night. Reception did not care and made us pay for the second night even though we checked out after the first night for this reason.

Surprisingly roomy and comfortable
Surprisingly roomy! I thought it might be claustrophobic, but this capsule design is full-height, and the width of a twin bed. The bed converts to a sofa, and you control the lighting and bed position using a tablet. Free beer at 16:30-18:30, free breakfast, full kitchen, washer and dryer make it very convenient. Staff were super helpful. I would stay again. I didn’t hear any noise or talking from people in nearby capsules despite being Saturday night. The only downside was that my capsule was next to the elevator which was a bit noisy at night.

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.
