We arrived 1 hour before our room was ready after a 2 hour journey from Takayama and a dreary walk with bags from the station. We thought we could get a coffee at the hotel and wait until we were allowed our room. We were told there was no bar or cafe and couldn't provide a coffee. The hotel is in a safe but bleak modern office area of no interest to a tourist. There are no shops or restaurants until you are back at the station. Now, I understand what some reviewers mean by the hotel being on the wrong side of the station. The west end of the station is not a fun area to be as a tourist, especially on the rainy evening when we were there in November 2019. Otherwise Vista Hotel is a perfectly good modern, smart (business) hotel with nice rooms hence my 4star rating. Kanazawa station has lots of good restaurants and shopping but it is in a station precinct. Bus from the station 15mins to historic sites. If just on a 2 night stay and if you want local bars and restaurants just outside the hotel you need to be in another area the other side of the station.

A very modern hotel and the wet room and separate toilet is nice, but with the smallest room throughout our tour.
Somehow it did fit all the modern amenities in, including a safe, but getting two suitcases open was a 'challenge'
The location and breakfast is good.

Probably one of the smallest hotel rooms during our tour of Japan, but like others, spotlessly clean. We managed to move a few things around so that we could open our luggage on the floor. There was a basin in the room, seperate toilet and seperate shower which took up a lot of the space. Not sure why they designed it like this as it probably took up more space than necessary. Apart from that, the breakfast was good with a large selection of western food to choose from.
