In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The Millennials erases the old image of a capsule hotel. The sleeping pods here are run from an app on your phone — you adjust the lights, change the bed angle and set the alarm from your smartphone, and some pods come with a built-in projector screen so you can watch something before you sleep. The fit-out is modern and clean. If you're a tech-minded traveler or just someone who likes new gadgets, it's a genuinely fun way to spend a night.
Food and amenities
Beyond the pods, there's a stylish lounge and a co-working space — handy if you're a remote worker who needs to sit down and get some work done mid-trip. There's also free Wi-Fi, luggage storage and a cafe-style lounge to hang out in. Real guests score the place a high 9.3.
Location and getting there
You're right in the middle of Shibuya. It's about a 6-minute walk to Shibuya Station and a 5-minute walk to the famous Shibuya Crossing, with Parco mall around 4 minutes away and a convenience store barely a minute from the door.
Things to know before booking
These are sleeping pods, not full private rooms, so go in knowing you're trading space and privacy for price. The bathrooms and some of the common areas are shared, and the whole thing only really works if you're comfortable sleeping in a pod. Pack earplugs and an eye mask and you'll be fine.
Our take
What we like most about The Millennials is that it proves cheap and good can live together. For around $63 a night — several times less than a regular hotel in the same neighbourhood — you get an app-controlled pod, a well-designed co-working space and a central Shibuya address. For a solo traveler who plans to spend most of the day out, the money you save here turns into better meals or an extra day of sightseeing. The 9.3 score says real guests are happy with that trade. Best for solo travelers, tech lovers, remote workers and backpackers who want a modern, well-located base in Shibuya on a budget.
