Hotel berhampiran GU(AEON Town Kanazawa Shino Store), Kanazawa

This hotel seems like it has lost its glory. The pictures make it seem like a nice view is guaranteed, but the lobby (where the photos are taken from) is on the top floor. Also, the cooling function of the airconditioning is turned off, meaning you must open the window at night - a nightmare given the trains passing by. The entrance is also in a back alley and not that close to the station as it seems. I think there are much better hotels in Kanazawa.

Has a public bath that gives free apple cider, that’s 10 points to Gryffindor. Very standard facilities with everything you need on a business trip. The staff didn’t speak very good English but are professional enough that you don’t need to know what they are trying to say.

My stay at Dormy Inn Kanazawa was almost the end of the vacation started from Nagano, Hakuba, Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, Kurobe Gorge. Believe me that staying at this hotel is money worth spent. Dormy Inn usually are near train station but away from noisy traffic, with nice indoor and outdoor Onsen at rooftop together with FREE Soba for supper (9.30-11pm). However, at Kanazawa only (maybe) they provide complimentary Happy Hour from 7-9pm with free flow of red & white wine, beer and party nut and cracker mix. So you probably want to stay until 9.30pm to continue with Free Soba Supper. Sounds good right? Rooms are very clean, staff are friendly. One thing I like about Dormy Inn is they have ice cube for free at the machine. So you can get cheap and nice sake or beer from stores nearby to fix your own drink. Another plus point is free usage of laundry machine and detergent. You only pay for the dryer. I highly recommend Dormy Inn to everyone visiting Japan.

Excellent location at 5min walk from dKanazawa station. Menya Taiga ramen shop is directly across the street and a few eating places are located along the way. The room is clean and refreshed everyday and the bath house is located in the North block at level 2. It would be excellent if the breakfast hours ends at 10 instead of 9.30AM. And three pax room is a little tight for three adult with three luggage. For those who enjoys walking, omicho market, Kanazawa castle, kenrokuen garden, Higashi Chaya district are all easy to walk to from the hotel.

The location is niether good or bad. For business travelers, it is ten minutes walk away from Kanazawa Station so there are better options. For visitors, it'd be better to stay near Korinbo, the major shopping district that is close to the castle and the famous Kenrokuen Garden. It may explain why the room fee is relatively cheap. It covers all the basics but I found the room a bit noisy. Though not as bad as hearing your neighbour's voice, the sound proofing is definitely sub-par. So if you are sound sensitive, take this into consideration.

Stayed a night for sightseeing. The hotel decorated like Japanese Ryokan though, nothing remarkable for anything else. Pros: Newly opened. Good access to major spots in Kanazawa by foot and bus. Cons: Tricky room layout for Classic Double Room(s) including a gap to bathroom, low bed. Those trickiness made me feeling uneasy during stay.

Location: very conveniently located right besides the bus stop for buses back and forth from Kanazawa station as well as other major touristy spots. But even walking wise everything including Kenrokuen garden, Kanazawa castle, the famous districts & also just 2-3 min walk to Omiya shrine Hotel & Room standard: Elegantly classy and very contemporary rooms. Size was also pretty good and comfortable enough for 2 people for standard room. Room amenities are also very good and the Public bath at top also looks quite fancy. Staff service: Was very very impressed with the staff service. I think everyone spoke & understood basic English to assist with any questions. Furthermore they even have great personalised hotel brochures for restaurants and spots nearby the hotel and what cuisine each offered which I found very helpful. Overall an easy 5/5 stay

Perfect location right in the middle of the town and right next to the department store.

I’m here now and want to write about my experience as it’s happening. I’m blown away at this property. The beauty, the people, the quiet…except for the waterfall which you hear if you’re outside. I have a balcony room. The AC is splendid! There’s a tub inside the large shower area. The shower water is a little weaker than I normally care for, but YMMV. Breakfast is a huge buffet with very nice options, all Japanese and all high quality. Both mornings, I’ve been served an amuse. Tonight I’ll try dinner for the first time here, and no doubt it’ll be delicious. If you opt out of housekeeping, they leave you a big bag of two each large towels, hand towels and bath towels. Housekeeping is as quiet as a church mouse. I arrived at the Kanazawa train station, and even though I knew that there would be a shuttle bus, and which side to exit from, I didn’t know which one was mine. This information is not on the website, so I’ll tell you that you exit on the west side, and upon exiting, turn to the right, where the group bus waiting area is. And watch for a bus that is white with an orange *****e on the front. One other word of caution. There are two hotels that are named the same. Just because you see the hotel name on the outside, that may not be yours. Do you want to be sure that the driver and the accompanying guide know that the one you want is on this particular street. It’s a really new hotel, as it’s only been open for about a year. I upgraded and got the lounge access and that’s been totally worth it! The afternoon suites are so stunningly gorgeous and there’s a cocktail hour also in the afternoon, but I think it’s really like three or four hours long. The staff speaks their English, but have your Google translate ready for words that they may not automatically know. However, I will say they are extremely eager to understand and please you. I highly recommend this hotel!!

L’hotel è moderno e in una buona zona e costa davvero poco. Abbiamo prenotato una camera doppia, ma il letto è davvero piccolo per due. Alla reception ci avevano detto “un letto con due cuscini” e così è stato. Siamo stati molto stretti in due, inoltre il materasso è davvero durissimo (con le molle). si moriva dal caldo, ma con la finestra aperta entrava molto rumore da chi a notte fonda era in giro a far festa.
