Hotel berhampiran Jinkoshibasenmonten Kariyushi Garden, Kanazawa

Fantastic hotel with spacious rooms and very friendly staff. We chose Nikko Kanazawa because of its proximity to the train station. Hotel Nikko is actually Kanazawa’s tallest building, designed by a Japanese-French team. Rooms located on 21st-25th floors have beautiful views. Nikko is connected to the Higashi ( eastern) side of the station by the underground passageway through the Porter building. Our room at the 21st floor was large, clean and modern with a fantastic view over the city towards the Sea of Japan. It was very relaxing at the end of the day to sit in arm chairs and watch the sunset. Service was excellent. We found a good restaurant on the sixth floor of the Forus shopping center adjacent to the train station (on the right if you look at the eastern entrance to the station through the giant Torii gate). The name is Morimorizushi Kanazawa Ekimae-ten (sushi), you can't miss it - there will be people on the benches waiting outside. The line goes fast, just don't forget to take your ticket at the entrance. This hi-tech kaiten (conveyor belt) sushi joint is a fantastic place for excellent sushi at reasonable price. It is only 4-5 min. from Hotel Nikko and on rainy day you can reach it by the underground passage. We liked Hotel Nikko and would stay here again.

My family (2 kids) stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and really enjoyed the city as well as the hotel. I will start with the positives. We stayed at a one bedroom suite with laundry machines which is very convenient and by far the largest hotel room we stayed in Japan. Our kids slept comfortably in the living room on the sofa. The kitchen is very well designed with a huge fridge and sitting areas. The front desk was very helpful in my trip planning with onsen suggestions and they also booked us kimono rental and restaurants after we checked in. The lobby is spacious and we enjoyed our complimentary breakfast. The location is very conveient being right by the JR station and a big shopping mall. I only have 2 minor issues. First, they weren't willing to make us dinner reservations before check in which seems to be an overal issue with Japan hotels. Second, the breakfast offering is way better at Hyatt Centric, the sister hotel next door and is connected at the lobby area. however, we were turned away when we tried to get breakfast at Hyatt Centric even though some prior reviews said they wre able to do that.

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.

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.

Overall decent place to spent 1 or two nights. Requested for the highest level that is overlooking the mountains and the view was not too bad.service staff were friendly and professional. Room was very small though but for 1 person, it is sufficient.

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.

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.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this remarkable onsen hotel, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, I was warmly greeted by the attentive staff who kindly assisted with my luggage. The attention to detail was evident right from the start as I was asked to remove my shoes before stepping onto the pristine premises. As someone who appreciates the therapeutic benefits of onsen bathing, I was delighted to find that this hotel truly excels in providing an exceptional onsen experience. The facilities were top-notch, ensuring a relaxing and rejuvenating soak that left me feeling completely refreshed. Furthermore, the breakfast spread offered an abundance of delicious seafood options, providing a culinary delight that perfectly complemented the tranquil ambiance of the hotel. Overall, my stay at this onsen hotel was nothing short of exceptional, and I am already eagerly looking forward to my next visit. It's truly a gem worth returning to time and time again! 🌸

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.
