Janet
We had a fantastic stay at a cozy guesthouse in Kanazawa. The beds in the dorm rooms were incredibly comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean with powerful showers. The location was perfect, within walking distance to all the main attractions and a 7/11 right outside. The best part was the friendly and helpful staff, especially Mio who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. The social atmosphere was also a highlight, allowing us to meet and befriend other backpackers. I highly recommend this guesthouse for a great experience in Kanazawa.

I had a fantastic stay at this guest house. The owner, Shaq, was friendly and helpful, recommending great places to eat and providing valuable information about tourism. The facilities were excellent, with comfortable beds and a relaxing atmosphere. The location was convenient, with a bus stop just a 4-minute walk away and the train station within walking distance. There was also a 7-11 right across the street, making it easy to grab any essentials I needed. the cleanliness, hotel facilities, transportation options, and staff were all top-notch.
Nothing.

I always stay at this place because it's perfect for me. The staff helped my elderly parents with a good attitude. It has free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, restaurant, and a bar. Coming back for Easter!

The host was absolutely amazing - he offered us sake at night and we had a great conversation! The atmosphere was welcoming and homely, making us feel right at home. The hot pot parties were a blast! The hostel was clean, new, and the bed was the comfiest of my trip. The location was convenient, with a nearby loop bus and everything within walking distance. The traditional Japanese experience with tatami floors and sliding doors was fantastic. The staff's excellent English made communication easy. Shaq welcomed us like family and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. one of the best hostels I've stayed at in Japan. I highly recommend it and will definitely return if I come back.

I had an amazing time staying at this hotel! The location couldn't be more ideal, with all the main attractions within walking distance. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile to ensure my comfort. The rooms were spacious, clean, and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The common area was cozy and inviting, offering a great space to relax and meet fellow travelers. the hotel provided an authentic and enjoyable experience.
The bunk beds didn't provide much privacy, as the curtains only drew halfway.
