It is likely that you might hear another person snoring or making noise throughout the night, but if you are prepared to put up with it or invest in ear plug, then this is the place; it's very clean and great facility. Perfect location. The hotel is bang in the middle of all the attractions, and lots of great food locations nearby. Great light breakfast - also free refillable. You get a free beer in the evening from 5.30pm to 7.30pm. The pod is very comfortable and you have your own fan if it is too hot. The bed is very adjustable and you can adjust the bed to your own preference. I would defintely stay there again. If you wants lot of privacy then this is not quite right for you.

Wasn’t sure what to expect from this place prior to booking it as I booked a little late. Great location. Washroom/showers are all shared but very clean and well maintained. I did find the humidity a little low but other than that, no complaints. I had concerns when I first looked inside my capsule that the bed would not be large enough, but I’m 6’0 and had plenty of room when I was sleeping. Last but not least, do take advantage of the free beer hour. It’ll give you a good chance to unwind after a long day and mingle with the other guests.

First time staying in a “capsule” hotel. I say “capsule” in quotations because it felt more high end and the space was big enough that I could stand on the bed (I stayed in one of the theater pods) not sure what the other pods look like but I had a nice sized bed and again, a lot of space. The only negative thing (but this is with all capsule hotels) is I wish you could lock your individual spaces. Fortunately nothing got stolen and they do have cameras everywhere but I think for piece of mind while you’re out exploring it would be nice if you could lock up your individual space

Stylish, functional and thoughtful design
Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. It is sophisticated, modern, functional, well set out and amenities are on point. Reception area and staff are fabulous, with comfortable lounge areas. Adjoining kitchen/dining area is modern and wonderfully equipped with a free coffee machine, kettle, mini oven, microwave and 2 stove tops. The system work’s immaculately and everything is clean. Free beer for happy hour. The sleep pod is large and cosy. The width is around 1.5m and 2m in length. There is adequate storage under the bed via a pull out drawer. There is a long mirror at the end of the bed, 2 hangers and a hook. The bed and lights are controlled by an iPad. The bed transforms quietly into a sofa with the touch of a button, but can also be adjusted to suit your preference. 2 comfortable pillows are provided. Mattress is a touch soft from use but I’ve certainly had worse. The privacy blind can be lowered to the floor or wherever you like. Showers are fabulous and mostly clean, with sinks and hairdryers at each basin. A washer and dryer can be used for around 500¥ total. The toilets are separate with their own basins, and can get a little wet but I love that there are paper towels for drying hands. Would be great to have steriliser in the toilets to clean the seats before use. The amenity bag has towels, toothbrush, hairbrush, slippers, tissues, razor, etc free of charge. The Millennials bridges hostel to hotel. 5 stars for aesthetics and thoughtful design.

Situated right on a main strip, there is no shortage of food or shopping options. Community spaces were functional. I would bother buying the breakfast next time, given the cost and the amount of options outside. Coffee machine could be improved. Very weak! Washing machine and dryer worked well and the shower was lovely. My pod was almost completely quiet at night. I appreciated everyone sticking to the rules. These capsules are bigger than most. I appreciated being able to stand up. Luggage is stored directly under the bed and there is a small safe for valuables. I never felt unsafe, but there’s only a scroll down curtain between your space and everyone else. I stayed for 2 nights and just scrolled down the curtains to leave… but it’s not a “lock up”. Free beer between 5:30 and 6:30 was a nice touch and people did mingle. I’m 50 and felt out of place. Yes I am generation X and the place was clearly full of millennials.. hence the name … I had a work call at 10pm, with African and Canada time zones and was able to use a private booth for the call.. which I appreciated. They have a rate for digital nomads for 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month etc… so there was a “work room”, a meeting room plus 3 private booths for calls.
