Easy going hostel with lovely staff. It's in a central location but on a quiet side street so there's minimal noise. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Such good value for money! ☺️

Sehr angenehmes und familiäres Hostel.
Ein sehr herzlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, der uns sogar ein Zimmer mit 4 Betten eingerichtet hat, obwohl Schlafsaal gebucht war. Vielen lieben Dank.

経営者ご夫妻も親切で気さくでとても良いと思いました。近江市場や駅もコンビニも近く立地まとても良いところです。今回は車で金沢を訪れましたが、夜間料金も400円と安い駐車場も近くにあって便利でした！
