Linnas Kanazawa

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Linnas Kanazawa for two weeks, and it was the perfect base for my time in Kanazawa. As a digital nomad, I was happy to find that Linnas has two great coworking spaces (one in the kitchen, and a quieter one in the lounge) making it the perfect spot for a workation. The beds were very comfortable, and the overall vibe of the hotel was calm and inviting. The concept fuses Japanese and Scandinavian design, creating a minimalist yet cosy atmosphere that feels like a home away from home. The team, led by Aki, was phenomenal—so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They truly go above and beyond to make your stay special and they all speak English which was helpful. They also recommend lots of excellent local places, so we had lots of great options. The location couldn’t be better. Right next to the park, it’s ideal for exploring Kanazawa’s incredible sights, with plenty of fantastic places to eat nearby. On top of that, the facilities are amazing. There’s a sauna and jacuzzi for unwinding, a workout room, and even optional yoga and fitness classes. Everything you need for work, relaxation, and staying active is right here. I can’t wait to return to Linnas on my next visit to Kanazawa. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay. Thank you to Aki and the entire team for making my time in Kanazawa unforgettable!

Based on the reviews and pictures of big beautiful rooms I booked two nights. The first night I was given a tiny room no bigger than 5 feet across. I had to turn sideways to enter the room. The room was very dark with one tiny window and the bed was up in a loft which I was unable to get into. I had claustrophobic panic attacks all night. I ended up sleeping on the hard floor as the staff goes home at 6. I didn’t get much sleep and ended up stiff and sore the next morning. When I explained to the staff and showed them the booking photos they said they would check into it. I began looking for another hotel for the upcoming evening. Later that morning the staff emailed me and offered a different room which I accepted. It was MUCH better but still not anything like the beautiful room pictured when I booked. If you’re traveling solo beware of the tiny rooms — even by Japanese standards. Also, there is no hot tub only a basic shared bathtub in the hall. There was a jacuzzi on the top floor but it was for rent only. I’m not sure I would call this a hotel; it’s more of a hostel than anything. I would add the staff were EXCEPTIONAL in every way. If not for them and the room change I would have given a zero rating.

LINNAS is a nice concept for a casual stay. Conveniently located for the Omicho market and the key attractions. But the most joyful memories are because of the very hospitable, professional and charming team running the hotel. Thank you especially to Chichi, Heera, Momo and Aki who tirelessly kept everyone well looked after, during a happy but also challenging few days. We shared lots of laughs with other guests and the whole team over the New Year’s Eve soba party. As well as some worried moments after the powerful earthquake. The hotel is created for a community experience, which in the end accentuated the connections and memories with fellow travellers that wouldn’t normally happen. The entire experience at LINNAS was such a beautiful memory. well looked after during a special but also challenging few days! You made it difficult to leave Kanazawa!

Buen hostel, en nuestro caso en una habitación doble con baño compartido. Todo muy limpio, la habitación pequeña, pero suficiente para una noche. La recepcion, una chica llamada Chichi, fue excelente. Se pueden guardar equipajes. El único aspecto a mejorar es la extracción de la cocina, el hotel queda impregnado por la noche del olor a comida
