Scenic Hotels in Kanazawa

"This hotel was the best one throughout our trip. Having visited Kanazawa before, I knew all their hotels are basically on the same street, making the location extremely convenient for attractions and well-situated. So, I didn't choose the usual hotel but picked this one which seemed like a good value for money. And the check-in experience was absolutely perfect. It's been a while since I've experienced Japanese-style service, and their service here was quite good. Although it's not a traditional ryokan 'okami' service (where they unpack your bags), all their staff members were incredibly polite and enthusiastic. The hotel is directly opposite Oyama Shrine, and you can walk through to Gyokusen-en Garden. We spent about 20 minutes exploring it in the morning. However, one thing to note is that linen changes and bathroom cleaning are subject to an additional charge. This might be something to consider for longer stays, but since we were only there for two days, it wasn't an issue. We booked a room with some basic kitchen utensils, so we were able to buy ingredients from the supermarket and make sukiyaki, which helped us balance our diet during the trip. The hotel is also very close to Omicho Market, making it convenient to buy fresh seafood and other groceries. For those on a shorter trip, cooking might not be necessary. Also, the hotel is quite new, and the room wasn't small, so it was very comfortable."

"The hotel is clean, and the front desk staff are very helpful. There’s a laundry machine on every floor, which makes it very convenient for guests. The only downside is that no hot bath. The location is excellent — Omicho Market is just steps away. Higashi Chaya Geisha District is within waking distance also. Overall, this hotel is good staying at. But, I personally feel hotel rate is at higher price due missing hot bath amenities.."

"This hotel is fantastic! It's centrally located near many attractions, with a convenience store and mini-supermarket just downstairs. The room's attention to detail was perfect, from the foot massager (with disposable socks) to the facial steamer, Panasonic smart hairdryer, a completely separate wet/dry bathroom, and a bathtub. Even the kettle, which wasn't noisy, was a nice touch. The breakfast was also exceptionally rich and exquisite, with delicious curry fish fillet rice, radish fish ball soup, and chewy mochi dumplings, showcasing Kanazawa's local delicacies. This hotel offers incredible value for money!"

"Excellent! The location is superb, just a 5-minute walk to Kanazawa Station. The room size was perfect for one person. Check-in and the common areas are located on the top floor. The shared facilities and amenities are well-stocked, and there's a lovely outdoor terrace with a decent view. Even though it's next to the Shinkansen line, the soundproofing is quite good. The Hokuriku Shinkansen doesn't run that frequently in the early mornings or late evenings anyway, and all trains slow down to stop at Kanazawa Station, so it wasn't noisy at all. The hotel's interior, starting right from the ground floor entrance, is adorned with gold leaf accents, giving it a very distinct Kanazawa feel."

"The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of several attractions. Kanazawa Station is easily accessible by multiple bus routes, which is a real plus. For breakfast, we tried both options during our two-night stay: The first morning, we had the three-way blackthroat seaperch dish at Omicho Market. The fish was delicious, and the ochazuke (rice with tea) was fresh and flavorful. This is a great option if you plan on trying multiple local foods throughout the day, as it's not too filling. On the second day, we opted for the buffet breakfast on the hotel's first floor. There was a wide variety of choices, but it did get quite crowded, so I recommend going early. This is perfect if you have travel plans for the day, as a hearty breakfast here could easily carry you through lunch. The room itself was reasonably spacious. The TV conveniently displays real-time occupancy updates for the public bath. Compared to other business hotels in Japan, Mitsui Hotels tend to be more consistently reliable and modern."

"As expected from a well-established hotel! The front desk service was incredibly welcoming. The hotel itself is grand and upscale, with spacious and bright rooms. It truly lives up to its reputation as the tallest building in Hokuriku, offering excellent views from the room. I didn't get to try breakfast, but the hotel boasts 7 restaurants and a sky bar, which says it all. Every service you could think of is available. It's also very close to Kanazawa Station; you can reach the station entirely via an underground passage, so no need to worry about rain or sun! The room amenities are all-inclusive. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Kanazawa!"

"The location is extremely convenient as the hotel is directly connected to Kanazawa Station. It was very easy to go everywhere since the hotel is inside the station building itself — just enter the station and take the elevator to the 3rd floor for reception. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful during the self check-in process at the machine. The room was comfortable, clean, and quite spacious. The hotel also provides luggage storage, which was very convenient while waiting for the next train schedule. It was also very easy to find food because there are many restaurants around the station, plus a 7-Eleven convenience store nearby."

"Enjoyed my stay. Traditional tatami mat throughout and hence shoes are to removed at entrance. Only 5 mins walk to omichio market. I had a very good sleep and rest. The hotel offers osen, complimentary late night ramen and ice cream/yakult with manga corner. Convenient location where walking is possible to most attractions like Kenroku-en and Higashi Chaya District."

"This hotel is excellent! It's super close to JR Kanazawa Station, making it easy to walk to Omicho Market, the castle town area, and the Samurai District. Plus, public transport is conveniently nearby. The hotel staff were wonderful, and they even offered free drip coffee and access to a large public bath. If I visit Kanazawa again, I'd definitely choose this hotel."

"Comfortable stay at a well located hotel in Kanazawa. The rooms were clean and functional, and the overall stay was smooth. The onsen was a nice touch and perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the city. There is also a laundry room available, which was very convenient during the trip. A good option if you are looking for a simple and comfortable base in Kanazawa."
