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.

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.

Great social stay

Really good social place to stay. Was expensive due to cherry blossom season though and not worth the amount it cost, but outside this season would be good value. Room clean and comfy, bed moves between sofa and bed using control which was fun, only issue is not much room at foot of bed when bed down, tight squeeze to get out of pod. Free tea coffee and hot choc nice and kitchen clean and free to use too
