Hotels in Downtown Kanazawa

"Our stay at Mitsui Garden Hotel in Kanazawa was great. The property is beautiful and meticulously maintain. The location is close to all the "must see" sites. Best of all is the extremely friendly and helpful staff. I'm looking forward to visiting again soon! Thank you to the staff and management for making our stay in Kanazawa so pleasant and memorable!"

"I wish I had eaten breakfast or dinner here - it looks like it would be great -- but be aware when traveling Japan that you often need to reserve ahead of time. We did not reserve, and when we checked in, everything was booked. Loved our room, the lobby, did not use the onsen but they looked very nice. Hotel location seems be about as good as you can get."

"We were lucky enough to have the private hot tub, and it had a view of the city, which was lovely. The staff spoke English. The grounds were very clean. The room was clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was close enough to everything."

"The breakfast buffet was huge and had many options for western and Japanese tastes. The staff was lovely. "

"Second stay at this property. Spacious and elegant rooms, great amenities, and centrally located. Less than 20 minute walk to Kanazawa Station (or take the hotel shuttle), 5 minutes to Kanazawa Castle, 2 minutes to Omicho market. Staff is very helpful as well. Highly recommend."

"It’s nearby major tourist spots. Staff are welcoming and helpful. If you are fine with basic amenities and nothing fancy of a hotel, Minn Kanazawa is recommended."

"Breakfast was initially wonderfully presented but if youre there for long theres no various choice. Other alternative was quiche which i wasnt fan"

"Great room size and view. Friendly staff and great location. Good coffee machine. "

"Although the Hotel Intergate Kanazawa is in a busy part of town, the hotel itself is located in a quiet alley off the main drag. We found check in to be somewhat rushed and impersonal, as we were ushered immediately to a kiosk where it was required we check in electronically. Staff here seemed harried and did not offer the personal touch and care we received at our hotel in Tokyo. That being said, the hotel offers an incredible number of complimentary, excellent quality food and drink throughout the day. Perhaps this is the reason there were so many Western tourists staying here, some who seemed to take "advantage" of the free stuff. Perhaps that grasping attitude is the reason staff seemed a bit impatient with tourists. Our room, which was a superior twin, was large and well-appointed. We loved the separate toilet/shower rooms, and the sink outside those spaces. The "onsen" on the second floor is a great amenity! Overall, we loved our three -night stay here, but wished the staff had been more accommodating. Kanazawa is lovely, but we found it overrun with tourists when we visited around the third week in April (past sakura time). As with any popular tourist destination, one can find wonderful hidden gems that tourists don't know about. Look for those! "
