"This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in! It was really cheap, even during peak summer travel season! The bed was much more spacious than I expected; I could even organize my luggage right there. The second-floor common area has everything you need. It's super convenient for cooking and heating up food, and there are three refrigerators, making it easy to store your items. Seating for meals is also great, with high individual seats and large tables. There's also free luggage storage where you can lock your bags to a rack. They don't charge extra if you check out late. You can sit anywhere on the first floor. Even after the coffee shop closed at night, many people were still lounging and chatting there. I'm not sure if this hostel is Indian-owned or if there are Indian staff working here, but it felt like everyone was a foreigner, so we all looked out for each other. I felt really good here! If I ever stay in Kyoto for an extended period again, I'll definitely choose this place!"

With a stay at Guesthouse Hyakumanben Cross in Kyoto (Sakyo Ward), you'll be within a 15-minute walk of Kyoto University and Kawaramachi Street.

Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Bathrooms feature showers, bidets, and hair dryers.

"It's a 6-minute walk from Demachiyanagi Station, and there are convenience stores and supermarkets nearby, so it's a good location. There is a kitchen in the shared space on the second floor, which is very convenient for those who want to cook for themselves. There are also free drinks, manga, and books. The third floor is a dormitory space, and it is air-conditioned and clean, but in the case of mixed-gender accommodation, the upper bunk beds are not completely separated, so there is no privacy, which is a bit tough, especially for women. The lower bunk beds have curtains that can be closed, so I think they're fine... There are showers and toilets on both the second and third floors. It's good when it's not crowded, but if it's crowded, it may be a hassle to wait in line. There is a curfew, and you can't go out until 6:00 in the morning, so it may be a bit inconvenient for those who want to go out early in the morning."

Featured amenities include laundry facilities, an elevator, and microwave in a common area. Make yourself at home in one of the 78 air-conditioned rooms featuring microwaves. Bathrooms have showers and hair dryers.

"Initially, I was a bit confused because the photos on the website looked different, but after a 3-night stay, my conclusion is that I'd probably stay here again if the price is the same. Pros: * Location. * Everything is on one floor, so there's no stress of moving between different areas. In other capsule hotels, the front desk, beds, showers, and lockers are often in separate rooms or on different floors, requiring you to constantly carry your key around. If you forget something, you end up making multiple trips, which is a real hassle. * The bed is long, stretching along one wall, and the opposite side is a solid wall with no other beds, making it less likely to encounter other guests when getting in and out. * Earplugs were provided. * The facilities were kept clean. Cons: * It felt older than it appeared in the website photos. * One side of the wall is used for large luggage storage, which gives it a somewhat cluttered impression (though this doesn't matter once you're in bed). * Two large, usable refrigerators are available."

But there are little noises at 6am ,someone will turn on the lights and package there luggage.it depends on the roommate quality. But I kindly suggest girls and boys floor should be separate .there are many boys don’t wear shirt after shower."

The Millennials Kyoto Capsule Hotel Great location and clean environment, with a really well-designed common area. Even though it's a capsule hotel, it offers good privacy and comfort. I had a great experience staying for several nights in a row, and I'd definitely consider coming back here on my next trip to Kyoto.

The location is fantastic, with convenient access to public transportation, as the bus/tram stop is right next door. It's a straight shot to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and Nijo Castle and Kyoto Imperial Palace are very close by. The hostel is within a 15-minute walk of the Kamo River and Hanamikoji. You can also take a direct bus to attractions like the Philosopher's Path. The area is lively, with plenty of shops and malls nearby. The room is quite quiet. The front desk staff doesn't speak Chinese, only English and Japanese. The main topics of communication were confirming accommodation details, collecting accommodation tax, asking if paid pajamas were needed, noting that one key card opens all locks, and providing the room number and floor (my female dorm was on the first floor, to the left of the elevator once you enter). Disposable toiletries can be picked up near the elevator. Overall, it's clean and hygienic. The vanity area/showers/toilets/individual locker area/washing machine (not sure if it's coin-operated) are all available. The functional area signs aren't very obvious; the toilets are located within the washroom area.

Extremely clean, both the beds and the bathroom areas were spotless. The facilities are new. It's an all-female dormitory, so it's relatively quiet; no one comes and goes late at night. The environment is very elegant, and there's a reading area and a pantry on the second floor, perfect for sitting down with a book and a coffee. The price is absolutely perfect. It's about a six to seven-minute walk from the subway.

The hostel is located in the historic district, meaning you can stroll the picturesque streets in the morning before the crowds get too crowded. The hostel itself is very cozy. We rented a private room (it's larger than in the photo), but a shared room would have been just as nice. The window in the private room doesn't open, but there's air conditioning. There are two toilets, a European-style shower, and a bathroom. There's a washer and dryer (coin-type). The kitchen has everything you need, plus tea and coffee, and it's generally a pleasant place to hang out. The guests are pleasant, with many Japanese staying there. The hostess is wonderful, very hospitable. Thank her so much. She can recommend places to go and make you some mincemeat. If I ever go to Kyoto again, I'd stay here, not in a shared room. This was probably the nicest place I stayed on my entire trip.

Super worth it, we got it for only 2300php/night. I love this room since its huge compared to tother hotels, near bus station, front of a grocery store. Clean was beyond I expected. There was a mini kitchen where you could cook, a table good for 4 persons where you could eat, 2 super comfortable big single beds. The staff were so accommodating and helpful. We got a chance to check in as early as 30 mins before, since the room was already available. Comfort Room is super clean and gorgeous. All in all it was super worth it

This hostel it is clean, good location, even if you are 2 km from main popular street is easy to get around. The issues: you can’t really sleep here if u get snoring people as ur neighbors rooms. I ve booked 7 days but I had to cancel the lasts 2 because was really hard to sleep and I was having only ~4h sleeping. And at 7/8 am people are already moving and waking up and because of the isolation of the ceiling(pic) is very easy to hear absolutely anything, any little move. In the first night staying here, after a person snoring so much until 2 am , it woke up go toilet and after it put reels on big volume at more than 2 am, I had to go all the way to knock at his door bcz I imagine it was a guy. The single issue with the mixed floor is this, if you put a girl with only men and they snoring, that girl can’t have any good sleep, if u put only girls and some men but they snoring, all girls will get mad bcz I wasn’t the single one after the first day. In the last night the snoring man wasn’t in the room anymore and they were more girls I ve heard. So if this hostel wants to make a mixed floor then I think they can think of putting only young people with young people and older people with older. Or maybe only 1 floor women and another men and the rest floor mixed idk. They can think of something. Also , there is water dispenser only at 5 th floor! Why they don’t have one next to reception? All the people from down have to climb all the stairs for a glass of water everyday until 5th? And there is the sharing space only at 5th floor where is the water too but again, a person that needs to talk to phone and to not destroy other peace , has to go or outside the hostel or in toilets or at 5th floor… it is a bit of a struggle these things. And for the double rooms u can put a small electric kettle for morning coffee I think and a glass and a spoon. To not get all the way up to 5th floor, if it wasn’t complicated to get all the way up I would have gone to make coffee there too but I tried one morning when I was still not awake and it was a bit of a struggle. That’s all. Oh. And the beds are really comfortable and very soft, too bad I couldn’t enjoy a good sleep in them. And after I canceled the lasts 2 days I didn’t receive back the city tax:)) is not big money at all but details makes the difference.

Плюсы: расположение, большие номера, понятная система заселения. Не верьте тем, кто пишет, что сложно зайти в отель. В 10 утра в день заселения на почту приходит ПОДРОБНАЯ инструкция, с кодом от входной двери и с кодом от номера, для получения карт-ключей. Завтраков в отеле нет. Минусы: очень грязно, мало света, нет уборки номеров, нет воды в номере
