This was our favourite stay in Japan. The owner is friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was amazing! The rooms are cleans and lovely. I hope to come here again every time I’m in Japan.

Mr Makoto was very welcoming and spoke fantastic English. He explained all the best things to see and do in Kanazawa in a short visit as well as how to get around the area. Beds were comfortable, facilities were clean, and all round was a fantastic place to stay.

I think this place is designed by someone who loves solo traveling. Everything is so efficient and cozy. I really love the bed! I think all hostel should adapt this concept. Since the bed has high ceilings, it's not feeling suffocating like usual capsul hotel.

I met the most amazing people here, the staff was very nice, they even sent my forgotten headphones to my next destination, so I was very grateful for that. I like the common area, spent every night there talking to people.

Shaq is a fantastic host. Took us out and showed us Kanazawa’s nightlife in streets none of us had an idea existed. Ended up in a Karaoke Bar in an intimate setting, with a fantastic atmosphere. Truly exceptional service.

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)
