Blue Hour Kanazawa

I stayed in the female-only area. The layout of the rooms is very well thought out, and nothing was missing! Even though there were many guests, it was very quiet. My sleeping pod was cozy, and the rooms were clean. You can lock away valuables and store your suitcase behind the reception desk. The view from the common areas is great! It is conveniently located near the train station, with many restaurants and a laundry service close by—though you can also do your laundry at the hostel.

It was very clean, there's a dryer and a washing machine. You can put your food in the fridge, I felt safe staying in the female dorm. The locker is directly next to the bed, and there's a bit of space between the bed and the wall, which is useful. There are several coat rack on the side, and hangers. There's even a place above the bed to put things. The locker are large, so it could fit my backpack (a regular backpack, not a hiking one) and there was a place under the bed to put your luggage. It is VERY close to Kanazawa station, like 6 minutes away (by walk). The fact that you can leave your luggage from 8 am, and there is some cables to tie your bags is awesome as well. It is, sincerely, the best hostel I've ever stayed. It's extremely convenient.

The only thing I don't like is that, it's located on the third floor (second floor if you don't count the Japanese way) and there isn't an elevator. I had a big luggage so I had to count on my strength to carry my luggage and bags.

The location and affordability of this hostel in Kanazawa was amazing. Just a short walk from Kanazawa station and other conveniences meant transportation was super easy througout the area, especially to the beach in our case. The pods were good sized and we slept well, and there were lots of spaces to hang out when not in bed.

The pods didn't feel super private in comparison to others I've stayed in. I still felt very safe and secure, but the use of only curtains left me feeling like I was concerned about my volume throughout the stay.

It was near the train station, location was good. There is also a restaurant downstairs that is high rated.

A few roaches popped up and about at night. Staff were largely absent.
