It was my first hostel experience, so I have nothing else to compare to, but my partner who stayed in many hostels before said this is probably the best hostel you can stay as far as hostels go. Very clean and very new. We stayed in the double bed dormitory room, which has 6 beds. When we stayed there, there was only one another couple, so it was very quiet. It was very comfortable to stay here. Also Anna, who was at the front desk, was very friendly, and we asked her lots of questions regarding the life in Kanazawa. It was the perfect person to talk to as we are looking for a place to settle in Japan.
