“Shaq is a fantastic host. Took us out and showed us Kanazawa’s nightlife in streets none of us had an idea existed. Ended up in a Karaoke Bar in an intimate setting, with a fantastic atmosphere. Truly exceptional service.”

“Shaq is a great host, great English level and super helpful. The hostel is very well set up, both bathrooms and showers are great and clean. The fact it has a bar where Shaq himself serves food and drinks made me wonder how it would be with noise...”
