LINNAS Kanazawa

Price/Performance balance is outrageous in this hotel. The room is so convenient for a solo traveler. Its location is just steps away from the fish market. Internet connection is super fast. The bed is really comfortable. Hot water is solid. Quiet rooms. Really well-decorated, small but cozy rooms. I forgot my earphones in the room, and while I was in another city on my trip, they sent them to my next destination. They were really helpful! I would definitely stay again; next time I will be in Kanazawa.

1. It was very well designed. There was a ledge on the wall all along the side of the bed, so even though the room was fairly small, we were able to sit and use the ledge as a table. Still, we had to put our luggage underneath the bed so that it wouldn't obstruct walking around the room. 2. The common toilets were close by, and there was no problem getting to the shower or sink. 3. At the train station, there is a very helpful and large tourist information office that you can ask where to board the bus to come to the hotel. You can walk from the station to the hotel, but taking the bus is better. 4. The common kitchen was very spacious and well-equipped. You can buy your food and eat in the kitchen. 5. There was a coin operated washing machine (Y200) and dryer (Y100) in good working condition. 6. The hotel is very new and everything was in tip-top working condition.

Heera (and everyone we interacted with) was excellent, lovely, welcoming and helpful. The room was super clean - we had a double room with a bathroom. The water pressure was fantastic. Comfy bed and pillows. And it is in a really great location for visiting the Omicho Market, Kanazawa Castle and Kenrokuen Gardens. We would definitely stay there again.

This was the best hostel experience we ever had! My husband and I are from Canada and are backpacking in Japan for 2.5 weeks. Kanazawa was our second stop and it was amazing because of LINNAS. Look no further in your search…just book now! Excellent location, we walked everywhere. So close to the Omicho Market, Kenroken Gardens and Kanazawa Castle. Less than 30 mins walk to the Ninja Weapons Museum. We went to highlight Mika on staff. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the best stay ever. She gave delicious local restaurant recommendations and even suggested a chopsticks making workshop in town. She called and reserved us a spot. She was very friendly and hospitable. We are so lucky to have stayed at LINNAS and recommend it to everyone! The rooms are all private, ours had a fridge. The room had good storage for us. We loved the keypad system so we didn’t have to carry a key around. The bathrooms and showers are communal and very clean! The shared kitchen is well-equipped and clean. Umbrellas are freely available which helped when there was a forecast of rain, even though it didn’t rain enough for an umbrella. We are now in a new city in Japan in a new hostel and already have a list of reasons why it’s not as good as LINNAS! Seriously it felt like home to us and we miss it already. 5+ stars and thank you Mika, you and the team are amazing!

We stayed for 7 days and could stay more, because it was very pleasant and Kanazawa has so much to offer that we ended up with a to do list for next time! The staff were super friendly, there's a friendly atmosphere. The common area has a very well equipped kitchen and it's a pleasant place to have your meals and chat with people. We usually got bento boxes at the basement floor of the nearby mall or sushi at the market and ate them in the common area. The location is a huge advantage, because local buses in Kanazawa are slow and crowded, so it's important to have many things at a waking distance. The shared toilet and shower were clean and convenient, they almost didn't feel shared.
