I opted to stay here because I love the Shibuya location so much but I wouldn’t recommend this location in Kyoto. It’s r
Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

There were too many capsules on my floor and the floor plan was confusing. There was a lot of competition for showers and toilets. The toilets and showers were housed together unlike the Shibuya location. Some of the toilet’s didn’t work. It was also noisy which I hadn’t experienced in the Shibuya location. The blind on my capsule was broken and difficult to close. I was supposed to spend 8 nights there but felt so uncomfortable being there that I left after one night.

Confortable et tres bien située
Pros:

La situation de l’hôtel est top,

Et le personnel très accueillant et souriant.

Cons:

Pour avoir fais d’autres cabin hôtel à osaka il y a moins « d’équipements » à disposition au The Millenials.
Comme par exemple des produits de toilettes, fer à liser..

Perfect location for Kyoto!
Pros:

Beyond my expectation! Firstly from an accommodation perspective, the pod has a very comfortable mattress for a fantastic sleep, that also has a huge mount of storage underneath. Using the controller (not the iPhone version) I could have the bed perfectly flat to sleep, or have the bed in upright sofa position with room standing at the end of the bed to then comfortably stand or change clothing in privacy. Everyone was very quiet so it was very easy to sleep.
The location was outstanding. Close to bus, train and walking distance to everything you could want!

Cons:

Absolutely nothing!

Pros:

Price and location were good.

Cons:

The reception staff asked for my credit card details?? And kept repeating not to break anything, otherwise I'll have to pay a fine. I'm a middle-aged man, why would I break anything AND not to pay for it?

Central location and great space
Pros:

Exceptional location, right in the middle of Kyoto! Everything I wanted to see was within walking distance, or easily accessible by transit. I'm a finnicky sleeper and had zero problems with the lodgings. The sleeping quarters are dark and everybody is very quiet & respectful. The pod itself was probably one of the most comfortable sleeping arrangements I've had in my Japan travels - the bed is sizeable, pillows were cushioned, and my checked luggage comfortably fit underneath the bed. The breakfast was quite nice and the common area was great. My first hostel experience and the bar is going to be hard to raise after this! Thanks Millennials!

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at!
Pros:

Definitely the best hostel I’ve stayed at! Lots of amenities and facilities all of which are very spacious - such as shared kitchen (which has everything you need), lounge area, work space, etc. The capsule itself is spacious too - a double bed which goes into a sofa too. There’s plenty of under bed storage - I could store my large and small suitcases and there’s shelves inside the capsule too. Everything was very clean, modern and comfortable! Staff were very helpful too, and assisted in storing luggage which is very helpful. They have rental bikes available too. The location is excellent with great connectivity to all places and right on the main shopping area. I highly recommend this hostel!

Cons:

Nothing
