The Millennials Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this place is amazing. Excellent location (chaotic the moment you step outside the door, but incredibly convenient), capsule was so cool and extremely comfortable (enough room for bags, bed is bigger than usual, and you can even make bed into a couch to chill), bathrooms super clean and they have enough showers and bathrooms for each floor. This place has mastered the hostel socialization environment. As a solo traveler, I made a bunch of friends here to go out to dinner with. They offer a happy hour in the evening with free beer for guests so it’s really easy to meet people and the common area is very comfortable and well designed."
