Hotel Surroundings

The hotel is located in the city center and there are many shops and restaurants around. There are several convenience stores near the hotel. Popular sightseeing spots such as “Kanazawa Castle,” “Kenrokuen,” “Oyama Shrine” and “Omicho Market” were within walking distance, making it a very convenient location. Katamachi, a well-known area for drinking in Kanazawa, is also nearby, so it’s the best location for those who want to enjoy a late night out. The hotel faces the main street, but it was quiet inside the hotel.

Staff and Guests

The staff were very kind, but when I checked in it was very crowded and I couldn’t check in at ease.

Access

It is about 5 minutes by bus from Kanazawa Station to the hotel. If you get off at a bus stop called “Musashigatsuji/Omicho Market” you can get to the hotel in 1 minute on foot. It is possible to walk around on foot, but I recommend taking the bus to get around to places. If you come by car, you can park your car at the hotel parking lot for 1300 yen. The staff will give you a ticket when you check-in.

Summary

I had a nice stay at this hotel. The exterior and interior were modern, clean and very calm. It was a bit inconvenient during check-in because it was crowded, but I may have just been unlucky with the timing. The room was very spacious and clean, so I was able to spend a relaxing time. The bed was big and comfortable so I was able to get a good nights sleep. Access was good and I was able to get to places without any inconveniences. If I have the chance to, I would love to stay here again.
