Hotel Dengan Gym di Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan

This hotel is super close to Kanazawa JR Station; you can even see the train station from your window. In the mornings, opening the curtains to watch trains slowly pull in feels like something out of a movie. The room also has a full kitchen with appliances and utensils, so you can buy groceries from nearby supermarkets or the seafood market and cook your own meals. There's a microwave, oven, dishwasher, induction hob, and pots, making it incredibly convenient.

Lovely hotel with some nice touches (I especially appreciate the free decaf coffee drip bags!). The staff were so lovely and helpful (and very patiently with me whilst calling around multiple izakayas to see if they'd show the World Cup match. The room was very spacious and we were happy there was a gym. Breakfast was pretty good, and it was good being within walking distance of both Kanazawa Station and Omicho market (see photo for delicious seafood) . We were a bit far from other attractions but it forced us to get some extra steps in which was no bad thing!

The large public bath, gym, and laundry facilities made for a very comfortable hotel stay. Located in the heart of Kanazawa, the hotel offered excellent access to all the tourist attractions. I was studying in my room, and the thick walls meant that noise wasn't an issue at all. There are also many delicious restaurants nearby.

The hotel was great! The room was quite spacious for Japan standards and very clean. They even provided a complimentary one-day city transport pass. The location was fantastic – just a 200-meter walk to Omicho Market and about a 15-minute walk to Kenroku-en Garden and Kanazawa Castle Park, making it convenient for all the sights. If I had to pick a downside, the front desk service was the least welcoming we've encountered in any Japanese hotel. However, overall, it was excellent value for money.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, right outside the West Exit of JR Kanazawa Station and next to a shopping mall. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. The room was quite spacious for a Japanese hotel, and all the facilities were new and very clean. To get your room cleaned, you need to scan a QR code inside the room to book the service.

It was a decent place to stay. The water pressure and temperature were good, and I liked the calm atmosphere of the lobby. The room itself was clean, but the bathroom had an unavoidable old-fashioned feel.

This is (so far) the most spotless clean hotel in Nagoya (maybe in entire Japan as well) I have stayed. In the past decade, I've been travelling around Japan for over 100 times, Sanoniwa is the most spotless clean hotel, not only in the room I stayed, but the spa and other public areas. The staff is very attentive and speak very fluent English. The overall design of the hotel is first-class indeed.

The hotel reception and waitstaff were very friendly and spoke excellent English. The room was very clean, with a simple yet stylish design. In the evenings, you could enjoy soba noodles in the lobby and even order a sake set to chill with friends. I even asked the front desk if I could bring my own snacks to enjoy with the free drinks. It was a very comfortable space. If you're staying for a day or two, I recommend trying the hotel breakfast. Both the Japanese and Western options were delicious, especially the bread 🥯. I bought breakfast every day during my 3-day stay, but I got tired of having the same thing daily 😂. Despite the no-refund policy, I wanted to cancel breakfast on my last day. The staff were very thoughtful and said that even though a refund wasn't possible, I could take away some bread 🖤. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would choose UAN Kanazawa again if I come back.

The design of the Youth Hostel, the room is very small, 90 [%] or more foreigners, no noise and quiet at night. The public restrooms and bathrooms are very clean, the common kitchen pots, pans, knives and forks have everything, and they are spacious and bright. Note that the luggage storage can only be taken away on the same day. It is charged for overnight stays.

The hotel itself was old but the room was relatively beautiful. I was worried about the mold and dirt in the bathroom. I think it can't be helped by the number of years. It was a pity that the electricity in the room was dark, the window was full of spider webs when I opened the curtain to see the scenery, and there was no laundry. There was an ice cold machine on the fifth floor and I used it. The hotel response was very good. I didn't feel so far from Kanazawa Station in about 20 minutes.
