The Millennials Kyoto

Kyoto|0.28km from Joshin-ji Temple

Latest booking 22 hrs ago

The concept of this hostel is great - something better and more inclusive than a capsule hotel with large, comfortable beds. Pros: The common area and kitchen were really nice, and the free beer hour provided a great way to connect with other travelers. The common area has huge windows looking onto downtown Kyoto. The staff were all super friendly and helpful and spoke English. You are given a keycard for access to the bed floors and after hours. You need to reserve breakfast the day before, but it's right next to St Marcs Cafe which I thought was a great option, so IMO you don't need to use the hostel's breakfast. The showers were good, and I never saw them full despite a lot of people staying here at this time. The laundry machine seemed easy to use as well. The location in downtown Kyoto is obviously great and close to bus stops to reach popular temples on the east side. Cons: The only problem I faced was that the iPod to control my bed and lights rarely worked! The first night, I was unable to recline the bed into sleeping mode or turn off the lights, so staff had to come reset something on top of the pod to get it to connect. It stopped working again after that, and I could not turn the lights on in the morning. I also did not get to use the special wake-up features. Because my stay was only a few days and I wasn't spending leisure time in the pod, I decided to just deal with the unlit pod. Also, I was the only person who I spoke with who had this issue. But the hotel should improve the engineering of the iPod controllers or provide backup physical controls on the side. This wasn't an issue for me, but my medium-sized suitcase would not fit in the pull-out luggage rack under the bed. I had to keep the suitcase closed and on its side between the luggage rack and the screen. I don't think that travelers with large suitcases would be able to fit them in the pod, you'd probably have to find an empty corner in the hallway. Overall, I would recommend staying here, just hope you aren't the unlucky one who gets assigned to a broken pod.

This hotel live up to its name, super hotel. It has super location, next to Nishiki Market and Shijo Kawaramachi bus stop and Kawaramachi Hankyu railway station.

Hotel Musse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi Meitetsu
4.7/5138 Reviews
I stayed at Hotel Muse Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi MEITETSU, which was not able to stay on the opening day (October 31, 2020). Because there was a cheap plan for [Kinki 2 Fu 4 prefectural people limited]. It would have been because it opened at a severe time of self-restraint, the room was a very new impression. The lobby and restaurant have a higher feeling than business hotels.
Kyoto Central Inn
4.1/592 Reviews
The hotel in Kyoto, which is crowded all year round, is difficult to make a reservation at this time of spring break, and the price is soaring, but it is in it, and it is relatively reasonable to stay I think it is an old building, but it has been renewed little by little since I used it before, and it was clean and comfortable except for door lock and air conditioning. There is no way that the unit bus is small, but there is a feeling of cleanliness, and the water supply plug is independent type, and it was easy to use. Free amenities that can be taken freely in front of the front desk were also substantial, and it was saved from the mask to many kinds of tea. The first floor is staba, the convenience store is next to it, and the underground is Kawaramachi station, which is very convenient. I want to use it again.
Tokyu Stay Kyoto Sakaiza Shijo Kawaramachi
4.8/5286 Reviews
Love this hotel. There is nothing I could fault on. Great location with many eateries around and just next to nishiki market. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Room was clean and new. The only thing I wish for was a hot spa to end my day but other than that, everything was perfect
