    Nothing.

    Excellent working space (better than most libraries and hot desking venues). Huge communal area. Very helpful staff. Peaceful dorms. Comfortable, adjustable double beds. A kitchen you actually want to cook in. Free beer hour every evening.

    Stayed at this place before and would stay again. The capsule is large and spacious, great quality. The rotating breakfast of bread, soup and yogurt is a quick charge up for the day. All in all, fantastic value.

    It was a perfect stay, nothing bad to say.

    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.

    Maybe the noise that some other guests were doing on the bed floor. Also, the pods can get a little stuffy when you close the door for the night. I'm used to colder temperature. 🥶

    The lobby and the cleanliness of everything.

    The breakfast was a bit light.

    There's free drinks (coffee, tea, beer) and free equipements (razor, towels, etc...). There are parkings near by and it's in the center of the city.

    That said, my only issue was the mattress. It was noticeably worn out and I honestly didn’t get the best sleep. The beds have a unique design that allows them to convert into sofas, but this seems to create a dip or dent in the mattress making it cause a dysfunction in the mattress over time. I’d strongly recommend the hostel review the mattress conditions and consider replacing any that are no longer up to standard.

    I’ve stayed at this hostel before, and once again, it was an amazing experience. The beds and shower rooms are spacious and clean, and the overall design is modern, stylish, and thoughtfully laid out. It’s a very traveler-friendly hostel, but also quite popular among digital nomads thanks to the co-working space available on-site making it ideal for anyone working while on the move. The location is very central, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the price is excellent for what you get. Whether you’re here for leisure or work, this place ticks all the boxes.

    During the check in there were some procedures wasn’t briefed on the Booking page. There were some SMS messages using there name the looks like scam, I am not sure if that was real or not.

    The facility was good, the staff friendly and helpful. Good location as well

    I would skip the breakfast, it’s just bread and soup. Soup is usually gone if you come late.

    Great location with proximity to a large market for a shopping and eating. Clean, quite pod floors, all the amenities you need.

    The breakfast was very small and was only a basic offering of pastries with orange juice and a yoghurt. It would be better to not pay for the breakfast and get food from outside to put into the fridge for the morning.

    The location was central and not far from Gion. The capsule was comfortable and modern with light switches and outlets for charging. There is space under the bed for the luggage. The shared bathrooms were clean with amenities. The beer hour was fun and I met some people and went out for dinner and drinks with them. The shared space is bright and sociable and the kitchen was useful if you want to bring your own food. Breakfast is eaten in the shared area.

    Maybe the price is a little bit high, but considering that you are in Kyoto, it is still a good price. I didn’t like the fact that there were no switches in the room and you had to control everything including lights via iPod (which is in the room)

    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.

    Night time got hot, first night I didn't have the fan facing me but seemed on 2nd and 3rd night it would nearly stop working through the night and wake up sweating although bloody hot outside too.

    Location is on the main st of Kyoto with plenty of options for food and shopping, size of the capsule given it is a capsule style hotel although not the typical. The bed changing to sofa to allow room to change was handy instead of having to do it in the hall or take clothes to bathroom and the slide out luggage tray under bed was great, plenty of room. Plenty of opportunity to interact with other guests in the communal areas, free beer for an hour certainly brings everyone together. Having bike hire on site very handy. Staff also rung my next next hotel to confirm okay to forward luggage for them to accept instead of me plundering through the language barrier, much appreciated!
