House is well located, close to central station (less than 10’ walking) and to the center of the city. Bedroom was big and bed very comfortable. Showers were big as well. Norms are set clear and understandable. The owner is very friendly and helpful and provided valuable suggestions such as trying Kaisen Don meal. Very much recommended!

Super friendly and helpful staff who had great recommendations for places to visit and delicious restaurants nearby! The rooms were incredibly clean, the bed very comfy and spacious and the bathroom was immaculate. Also, as a woman travelling alone, it felt very safe. I found the location to be great, really nearby a lot of the stuff I wanted to see and otherwise great transport links. I cannot recommend it enough!

All hostels in Kanazawa

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The location was the best thing about this hotel! For a capsule it was quite nice, the mattress was a lot more comfortable than expected and fairly spacious - the ceilings are pretty tall. Stayed in the women’s dormitory and felt very comfortable and safe, definitely worth the money if you just gonna stay for 1 or 2 nights.

Great location: 5 minutes from Kanazawa station! The hostel is on 3rd floor and there is no elevator, so it can be hard to carry a big suitcase. The common area is divided into common and female area. The common has bar hockers and female area is with normal chairs. Free coffee and tea. Beds are big, with a lot of space above, a wooden crate locker, space under bed for suitcases and a shelf above the bed for else. Towels are changed daily.

You get what you pay for. Cheap hostel. Location is good and bad depending on what you’re planning. If to stay near the train station: great, if you want to see the touristic places, it’s too far to walk all the time, too close to take the bus

Very centrally located, close to everything you need to see in Kanazawa and not too far from the train station by walking. The owner of the hostel is an awesome guy who speaks English very well! Will help you with anything you need even if it’s insights on life about his crazy stories of meeting people ( Ask him about the bus crash)
