to get started.

A truly great location! Loved it! Kitchen and common area are very cozy, so you can stuck there for some time, be careful 😄 Free beer one hour in the evening as an additional plus, great! Beds, pillows are good and quite comfy. In general the capsule is spacious and cozy. Well, I don’t know how really tall people would feel, but for me it was enough space in my capsule, so I loved it. You can also watch movies/ checking your pictures in the capsule with a projector, so it’s quite nice too. Showers are spacious and clean. If you need something- friendly and English speaking stuff is there to assist you.

The sleeping arrangements were a novel idea/experience to me, and surprisingly comfortable. The kitchen was more well-equipped than I expected, though it's understandably self-service. I loved that the option to rent bikes existed, even if I didn't have time to use that facility myself.

Love the soaking tub, that was a surprise. The staff was so very special, didn't mind the questions, about transportation etc. Beds so comfortable, everything clean. So very quiet, everyone whispered when in the cubicle area.

the free beer hour was a good way to meet new people from all over the world. the pods were great if you needed to catch a few more minutes of sleep. the bike rental service was a great way to check out Kyoto down by the river :)

The bed was very comfortable, it is able to slide into a couch with the headrest up or flat for a bed. They give you a phone with a key attached that locks your room. The ability to lock your own pod gave a sense of security. The common room is a must use!

At some point it turned out to be extremely hot for me in the capsule, so I couldn’t sleep well. The only solution was to open the ‘door’ to get at least some air.

It’s too dry within each of the cubicles. I stayed when I was sick so the environment itself was so hot and dry that I wasn’t able to get a good nights sleep. Also the doors of the capsules are finicky at times and you may spend up to 30 minutes just trying to lock those doors.
The bathroom and showers were all great. The capsule beds itself were a cool concept in that you could make them into couches or beds with your iPod touch.

This isn't a ding on the hotel, but I was having issues with my bed motor. It kept getting stuck and not reclining or raising which made it hard to get out of the capsule, as the mattress would slide forward and block the partition from going up. But overall, it was a great stay!
The location is good, a bit off the main street of Shijo-Dori, but close to multiple public transit locations. There are a lot of places to see and things to do nearby as well! If you are thinking to use a JR Pass here, it can be more difficult as the pass does not work on the Hankyu line nearby. However, there is a JR station not super far away, and you can always grab an ICOCA or SUICA card at a train station and use that for the non-JR subway and train lines.

“A very interesting concept that falls short on some aspects”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 4 nights
The are some things to be aware with this concept, to be fair. Having to carry another device when going out was not very reassuring, especially because should you lose it there is a very expensive fine. Also, when setting the bed position, it becomes a bit longer than intended, making pressure on the privacy curtain and sometimes creating a gap from where one can look into your capsule. Also, you will have a hard time changing clothes in your box, you do not have enough space between the bed and the curtain to move comfortably in these situations.
The Millenials is a very modern concept hostel located near the City Hall and just a few bus stops away from Higashiyama. I was surprised with the whole capsule concept which serves you both as a sofa of sorts and as a bed, with seat position and lighting fully controlled by remote. You have a full box for you (which is nice compared to other hostels in Japan where you have double-decked capsules) and because of that, it is much quieter than any hostel you'll find. I really appreciated that the hostel provided towels and the free beer for a happy hour was a very nice touch!

The walls are very thin, so if you are a light sleeper I would recommend taking advantage of the complimentary ear plugs. The iPod room keys have a very short battery life, so I would recommend charging them when you are out, or leave them with the front desk.
The location was great, near a large shopping area, with lots of restaurants near by. The Sanjo station was only a few minutes walk away, and it was easy to access transport. The staff were very friendly and spoke multiple languages, making checking in very easy.

I had such a good sleep here! Yes, it's small, but the use of space is quite clever and the bed is SO comfortable! I am the kind of traveller that spends the whole day touring around and just use the hotel to sleep, so this was perfect for me. I was also impressed by how quiet and clean the rooms and facilities were.

There's room for improvement regarding the 'first impression' as the entrance is pretty easily missed and there's almost no presence on the ground floor - luckily another guest directed me to reception on the 8th floor, though I suppose I'd eventually have seen the signage on the elevator door. It'd be nice to have a bit more space within the booth/capsule, at the end of the bed, to change clothes as the floors are mixed gender.
The sleeping arrangements were a novel idea/experience to me, and surprisingly comfortable. The kitchen was more well-equipped than I expected, though it's understandably self-service. I loved that the option to rent bikes existed, even if I didn't have time to use that facility myself.
