Linnas Kanazawa

Guests praise the stylish, healthy breakfast and convenient location near attractions. The modern kitchen and excellent customer service stand out. Clean rooms ensure a comfortable stay. Some outlets could be more accessible.

This little gem of a hostel made our first (and probably not our last) visit to Kanazawa worth the six nights we spent visiting parks, onsens, and museums. The location is conveniently located near the famous market and easily accesses the key tourist sites within 15-20 minute walks. Convenience stores are two corners away and there are in-house vending machines for late night cravings. Rooms are standard size but always clean; the area is quiet at night so you get a good night's rest after a hectic day touring. Nice in-premise touches include the well-stocked bar, the coin laundry, and the service kitchen equipped with stove, microwave oven, airpot, utensils, and all things needed to prepare your own meals. The one thing the description does not tell you but becomes immediately apparent when you enter the lobby is the great staff. Minamo, Hazuki, Ryuta, and the rest of the young, vibrant personalities on duty at any time of the day were eager to help and displayed genuine warmth when engaging guests on inquiries or conversation. They were very helpful in recommending restaurants, places to visit, local products, and assisted us with getting taxis, operating appliances, etc. We were surprised at how multi-tasked all of them were and how long they worked with such energy and positive vibes. We hope that more travelers discover this place and give it the kudos it rightly deserves.

This is a nice bar, the staff is really frendly and helpfull (also, they speak english) the food is really good, the veer is cold and the sake is good. Also it functions as a hostel so you can meet people from a lot of countrys.
