Pros:

Polite staff; clean; luggage storage. Good location on a very busy street packed with restaurants etc and a supermarket over the road. There’s an hour of Free Beer every night - it was pretty bad lager, think Fosters or something, but can’t complain. I liked the privacy of the individual cubicles and the way the beds could be controlled between flat and sitting up; I had a problem with my controller at one point but it was quickly sorted out by the staff. The cubicle was a little hot at night even with its fan on (which was quite loud). The showers were very good and clean but the toilet cubicles were tiny. I also didn’t like the fact the toilets were unisex; call me old fashioned but I don’t particularly like having to try to defecate as quietly as possible in a completely silent lavatory while there’s an attractive girl putting her makeup on immediately outside the door.
The lifts in this place drive me crazy: reception/kitchen is on the 8th floor - I was staying on the 7th floor - and the lifts were soooo slow and would sometime drop me at a random floor in the other direction I wanted to go. For some reason, guests were not allowed access to the stairway so Every time I went up to the kitchen I would have to use those damn lifts rather than just using the stairs as a normal person would and should.
Overall not a bad place to stay but I would personally not stay there again

Pros:

The Millenials is a great hotel. The vibe is definitely younger. Loved that they had separate floors for men and women. We stayed on the all women floor. The boxes were perfect. The sleeping area was always quiet which was very nice. The common/working area was spacious and very clean.

Pros:

Everything about this property is excellent. The bathrooms and facilities are nearly new, the bed is enormous and comfortable. The setup technology is next level, with iPods controlling lights and bed.

The location is very good too, right next to the Nishiki market, major shopping areas and the Gion district.

Decent fittings, but very poor service
Pros:

Generally clean and well equipped, but has the most aggressive check out policy I’ve ever seen - it’s at 10am, and by 10:10 they have someone pushing you out and charging late check out fees.
The social area is well equipped if you are working, but not designed for travelling. Feels like you’re hanging out in a WeWork.
