The Kanazawa Hotel is well situated, within walking distance of gardens, shopping, and the old samurai district. It is a huge hotel, but very smoothly run despite drawing travel groups. (That can be a problem with the slow elevators.) Our room was large and very clean, beds good, but there was a problem with the air conditioning. Everyone in our... More

Excellent room on 13 floor of this very grand hotel. Well appointed and spacious and of course spotlessly clean as we had come to expect in Japan. Great buffet breakfast with plenty on offer. The hotel is very well situated for shops and the castle.

Even though the hotel is not sparkling new, the rooms are clean and the atmosphere of the hotel is quiet (incense wafting in the elevator area, etc.) given the busier neighborhood with Starbucks (which is not abundant in Kanazawa probably due to green tea and Kanazawa bocha with traditional sweets being popular in town) downstairs, adjacent 109 fashion building and...

The hotel is very conveniently located within walking distance of Kenrokuen gardens and Kanazawa castle, as well as other attractions and restaurants. The rooms are large and comfortable by Japanese standards. This was our second stay at this hotel and we wouldn't hesitate to book again.

While the hotel is not within walking distance of the Kanazawa JR station, it's close to Kenrokuen Garden, Kanazawa Castle, downtown shopping and restaurants, and other tourist attractions. The best way to get to the hotel from JR is to take a 5-10 minute taxi ride. Most of the staff spoke great English and were helpful in providing information and... More

This hotel was located in what seemed like an alley. The hotel was nice. Rooms were fine. Very close to shopping and transportation. Trains, taxis, etc... My company booked this stay but since I do not visit this location much if any, I would return here just based on it now being familiar.

after this trip i have decided - a hotel which is a part of large, central mall, is great thing. for start it feels clean (ok malls in japan are very well maintained with lots of luxury touches), nice entry, secure, large parking space available, and the most important... its central. i love the location of this hotel. to be...

We stayed here after a fantastic hotel in Kyoto for the same price and were a little disappointed. As others have said a great location but really looking rather tired and dated. Wooden furniture worn and chipped, cracked tiles in the bathroom. Rooms were a good size, as were the beds and very clean. Air conditioning struggled a bit in... More

Pros: Really nice location - 20 minute walk to Castle Garden and Kenrokuen park, right next to bustling (at least on weekends) Katamachi Street, 5 minute walk to historic samurai houses, shopping mall and grocery store immediately across the street, bus stop in front of bank next door for quick access to train station and other districts. It's about a... More
