Just a 5-minute walk from Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Station, The Millennials Kyoto offers capsule units with modern decor. The property offers free WiFi in all areas and for an additional cost, bicycle rentals are available.

I stayed for four nights. It is probably the best hostel to stay in while visiting Kyoto. It has an unbeatable central location, a huge common area for work and socialization, free beer hour, and cozy and comfortable beds/capsules. I haven't tried breakfast. I would definitely stay again.

Situated in Kyoto, less than 1 km from Gion Shijo Station, TSUKIMI HOTEL features air-conditioned accommodation and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Sanjusangen-do Temple is 1.8 km away and Heian Shrine is 2.2 km from the capsule hotel.

I HAVE TO SAY MY STAY IN TSUKIMI HOTEL WAS FANTASTIC.  The beds are comfortable and a good size and rooms and place are very clean.  very accessible by bus or train to the rest of Kyoto within a few minutes of walking.  Everyone who works here is very kind and helpful especially Mr. Kenji. He's very nice and welcoming. I love how they take the time to have a conversation with you. It was my first time to book a capsule hotel and I was not disaappointed. I made the right decision to stay in this hotel. If I will come back to Kyoto definitely I will stay at Tsukimi hotel and I will advise all my friends to stay in this hotel.

Amenity Hotel Kyoto offers affordable Japanese-style rooms and is situated around a 10-minute walk from Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Kodai-ji Temple. It features free Wi-Fi, a Chinese restaurant and drinks vending machines. Lockers and a launderette are available.

Love that they have bunkbed and separate single bed in one room. Perfect location since it’s super near to Ninenzaka, kimono rental shop, and the bus stop. There’s also some restaurants nearby too.

Looking for a capsule hotel?

Developed in Japan, these cheap 'pod' hotels are a novelty for any traveller. With rows of small single bed enclosed capsules, accommodation is basic and intended to be overnight. There is separate storage for luggage and gender-separate communal bathrooms — some capsule hotels also have a sentō, a Japanese bath house, often for male guests only.

    The location was convenient and I wouldn’t have been disappointed in the room if it was correctly advertised- it was not. No pretty view, no Japanese garden out out window. It’s basically a hostel that you share the kitchen which isn’t user friendly and doesn’t really have the features advertised at all.

    The location right in the center next to Kyoto station was really convenient. I booked a japanese-style which was a really great experience. Bathroom was spacey with a bathtub and a modern toilet with bidet. Everything was really clean and the staff was really friendly and helpful. I also really liked the public bath in the basement. I really recommend staying here when visiting Kyoto.

    Very cute guesthouse, and good location. It was quiet despite sleeping in a dorm, and the beddings were very clean and comfortable. The capsule size was much bigger than average, which is very convenient. The staff was friendly and accommodating too. I ll come again!

    Our room was nice and spacious, the beds were a good size, and the bathroom was well equipped. My favourite was the very comfortable pyjamas that I ended up buying a set of my own from the hotel. We really enjoyed the delicious breakfast. Staff was nice and friendly. Location was great, close to bus stops and train stations. They also had washing machines & vending machines so it was so convenient. We loved everything!

    Really a tiny Guesthouse, only 3 rooms. But incredibly cosy, clean, nice kitchen, a very welcoming, friendly and helpful host and a very sweet cat. Backpacking since 6 Months now, this has to be the most comfortable bed we ever had. Also the location was fantastic, only 10 min to the train station, nice restaurants, convenient stores and a public bathhouse nearby.

    Very stylish hotel with cozy and comfortable traditional Japanese style rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful, the location was very convenient, we explored different areas of Kyoto on foot and public transport. It wasn't cheap, but would definitely love to stay here again.

    The room is quite big for Japanese standards. Everything was clean and the hotel personnel very friendly and efficient. I really enjoyed using the public bath, especially because it was open until 1am. There are laundry machines available at the hotel as well as vending machines, though I never used them.

    Safe and cosy hostel, shared room with privacy curtains around bunk beds. Downstairs common area is really lovely and nice place to cook a simple meal, chill out and do some work. Chilo and Nico the Pomeranians were so friendly and amazingly fluffy, the owner was happy to let them come and meet us whenever we were there. Good location close to bus stops and Nijo station, would like to come stay again!

    Everything. It’s very close hankyu-Kyoto line, very close to shopping and restaurants area.I honestly didn’t expect much seeing as this is only a capsule hotel. But the area is clean, the staff are friendly, there are wide variety of free amenities. And the breakfast was free. Truly represented a true Japanese hospitality

    This was my first time in a capsule hotel and a first time in a female-only one at the same time :) I loved the stay - everything was super convenient, all possible amenities provided (you get pajamas, shoes, face masks etc.). Kitchen has even matcha set and coffee hand grinders ;) Cabins were surprisingly quiet
