Big comfy beds, toilets nearby as well as in shower areA in basement. Spacious kitchen Good location

Shower and kitchen 2 floors down from beds, but there is a lift. Could do with a few more kitchen utensils (it seemed you have to rent a sharp knife)

Capsule room had a lot more space than the other capsule I stayed in Japan, plus the locker was in the capsule rather than in a common locker room which is a big plus, the breakfasts were amazing and the best I had in Japan (travelled for a month). Also the kitchen area was big, modern and very functional.

I cant really think of anything

More than just an hostel Hachi also carries a cafe, a bar, a restaurant and a concept stores. The dormitories are clean and spacious offering you great intimacy! The lavatories themself are worth the stay! The hostel is ideally located offering you access to all the interest points of the city.

Everything was thought out beautifully and even better than the pictures. It was trendy, artsy and relaxing – with neutral colors and local artists’ works on the walls of every floor. The industrial look and feel is perfect. The Hostel was centrally located, a short walking distance from most of the sightseeing spots in Kanazawa. The bunkbeds were very spacious, comfortable (with good linen!) and allowed for total privacy. The powder rooms and shower rooms were amazing: great water pressure and, bonus points, a rainshower. Also, they were beautifully designed. They had tons of amenities, all for free. Big pluses: (1) 100% clean as can be; (2) bottle of water on the bed every day; (3) the lounge room/kitchen is full of everything you might need, from kitchen utensils to comfy pillows on leather couches. The main atrium had a small shop with artisan’s works (e.g. pottery, knitting, jewelry), a coffee shop and a restaurant. The environment was light and friendly.

I’d say the only problem would be the breakfast. It’s done in collaboration with the coffee shop at the entrance atrium and it’s lacking.
