HATCHi

It is an excellent hostel, the dorm was nice, the bed super comfortable and with plenty of space, lots of privacy. I do stay in hostels often and it is one of the bests I have ever stayed in. |The location of the toilet is next to the dorm but the shower room is in the basement, next to the common room, it is a bit weird at first but once you get in, it looks like a luxury bathroom from a hotel. Really nice. |It also has a bar and a restaurant. I ate there one night and it was nice, very practical if you are tired after all day walking. |Remember that if you have the JR pass you can take a free bus from and to the station, and other points of interest for free, and the stop is right opposite the hostel. |I really enjoyed it.

Kanazawa is one of my favourite places in the world. This trip I came specifically to see Kenrokuen, one of the top 3 gardens in Japan. So this Hachi is perfectly located. It was 2019 and I just wanted to send some live back after hearing about yesterday’s earthquake 1/1/24. This place really suited my style of travel, had a communal kitchen, awesome bathrooms, cafe and lounge. Staff were excellent and it was great value.

Really modern and well designed rooms. We stayed in a private room, which although being small felt spacious and really practical. Seems like it was once some kind of industrial building that has been converted into a hostel. The location is perfect - all the main sights are in a short walking distance. The Hum&Co Cafe downstairs serves really good coffee. The breakfast in the restaurant although good, might be a bit too artisan for someone from Europe.

We have this stylish and modern accommodation - 10 out of 10!|-Beautiful modern bathrooms, cleaned regularly|- Kitchen is huge and clean, lots new utensils. Again, is spotless!|- Our double room has a seating area on the lower part, and a double bed on the top bunk. Sink in the room was a great touch. Air con and heating worked well.|- Super fast WiFi - the fastest of all the places we stayed in our round-the-would trip.|- Slept so well! Bed comfortable and warm, rooms nice and soundproof|- Great location - walkable to all the sights.|- Staff are the best- Each and every staff member friendly and cheery|- A special thanks to Yas who was a superstar - he spent best part of an hour helping me getting my international telephone card working so that I could call my bank back home - thank you Yas!|

I loved my stay here! It's located very near Higashi Chaya and Kanazawa Castle and Omicho Market as well as the Samurai District — all of which are less than 30 minutes away on foot. It's also just about a 15-minute walk from Kanazawa Station.||||The atmosphere is nice and very chill. It has everything you need and amenity it changed daily upon request. Facilities are clean (shared toilet, shower, sink) and the bed is comfortable with a locker next to it. There's also a cafe/bar/souvenir shop just in the ground floor and you even enjoy a discount if you eat there. Staff are friendly, nice and accommodating. Dorm is spacious and has privacy curtains, socket and lamp. For the price you pay, you definitely get more!

Cool, clean, virtually new hostel with all the amenities in a great location. Unbelievably reasonable prices at ~2000-3000 yen/person. We paid $91/night for four on Expedia for high season. We stayed here as a family of four (kids 15 and 18) for two nights and enjoyed a different type of lodging that was a great value compared to older nearby hotels. Everything is highly maintained, the private shower rooms are fantastic, and the shared kitchen and dining area is great for preparing breakfast or dinner together. Each person receives a 4'x7' bunk area with a small locker, mattress, pillow, light blanket, and privacy curtain. It is pretty comfortable sleeping and everyone is quiet in the 10-bed bunk rooms all of the time. We parked our car a block away for 1000 yen/24 hours (overnight nearby for 200 yen). There are two bike-share stations within a block where you can rent for 200 yen/bike/day (could ride from train station). Many restaurants, parks, gardens, and museums all within walking distance too.

Great value for money. Hip, trendy. Cool shared facilities, especially the shared showers for private rooms (I wish my own bathroom back home would look like that...). Locations is great as well, there's a bus stop right next to the hostel and it's only about 10-15 min walk to the gardens/market. Wished we could have stayed longer.

I must say this is by far the best hostel I have ever stayed in my life. I stayed at this hostel in Dec 2016. Starting from the reception service at the counter, the cafe, the bathroom, the shared room, kitchen, community area were outstanding. The facilities was spotlessly cleaned and high quality standard like 5* hotel. The price you pay per night is almost the same as the normal hostel.||||I had such a comfortable stay at this hostel for 2 nights. I would definitely return to this hostel should I plan to visit Kanazawa again.||||The staffs at this hostel were so polite, friendly and helpful.
