Hotel berhampiran Old Residence of Doctor Takamine Jokichi, 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.

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.

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.

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

Only stayed here for 1 night recently as I was on a day trip to the surrounding area but it was a great stay. Very good staff on reception and the room I had was excellent with many amenities available. The bed was comfortable allowing me to have a peaceful night's sleep. I did not try the hotel restaurant. The hotel is in a superb location due to it being very close to Kanazawa Bus Terminal and train station. If you intend to stay in Kanazawa, give this hotel a try.

大巴車站是在西口下車的，按訂單上的導航（谷歌）無法導到酒店，在谷歌上輸入地址也無法導航。最後是西口的微笑酒店前台服務員給了地圖，才找到東口的酒店。其實西口車站到東口車站衹要穿過室內車站的通道就可以很快找到了。酒店乾淨整潔，房間設施也可以，一樓還有免費的咖啡和茶。

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.

Pros: 1, location, three blocks from Kanazawa Station, just few minutes walk. 2, it is very clean and quiet. Cons: 1, no one speaks any English. Need to use Google Translate to communicate. (In Hokuriku region in general English is not popular.) 2, check in time must be from 4 pm to 10 pm. Check out can be at any time.
