Very modern styling in this hotel. The weather wasn't great during our visit to Kanazawa, so the comfortable lounge area became even more important to us. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

The hotel was fresh and contemporary. The lounge and dining area was fashionable and the bedrooms were well laid out. However, the ladder to the bunks was almost vertical and dangerous for children to climb up and down (especially during the middle of the night). The common lounge in the entrance level was not allowed to be used by guests if they had their own food and drinks and we were told to leave, even though there wasn’t a single other person there. Unfortunately, there was no other comfortable lounge for us to sit and relax. The hotel provides ‘tea tables’ on a couple of levels but these are large tables with ridiculous half stools that are very uncomfortable, and in a very dark internal environment with no natural light. There was no comfortable space for guests to sit and relax with their own drink. These tea tables provided a hibachi stove but no cooking implements to use it. A rudimentary rooftop space with picnic tables was a welcome relief for an evening DIY meal but too hot and with no shade during the baking hot day. Overall, it was a pleasant and basic hotel for a couple of days, the staff were friendly and helpful, but this hotel wasn’t half as good as the Kyoto location which had a guest lounge.

Party of three adults stayed for 1 night in June. Nice Japanese design hotel is located within walking distance from Japan Rail station (15-minute walk). The neighborhood offers plenty of restaurant alternatives. Room was very nice and offered enough space for 3 adults with backpacks. The common areas are outstanding (On floor small kitchen, rooftop terrace, and laundry).

Quite conveniently located between the samurai district and the Omicho Market, 20 minute walk from the train station, 5 minute walk to Kanazawa Castle, etc. All this said, we had booked their smallest room with bunker beds, which was really small and with basically no surface to put the suitcases. The suite, however was amazing.

Hotel práctico, con buena ubicación. El desayuno, normalito. Estuvimos en una habitación con 2 literas, sin ventana, solo un tragaluz que daba contra otra pared. Solicitamos limpieza completa pero solo cambiaron toallas e “hicieron” la cama. La moqueta tenía algunas manchas. Llegamos sobre las 14:15h, y tal y como marca el check in, hasta las 15h no nos permitieron acceder. En Japón no se estila contentar al huésped con pequeños detalles, lo que marqué la norma es lo que llevan a rajatabla. En definitiva, esperábamos más del hotel. Creo que es un hotel para familias y grupos

Most beautiful hotel I’ve been in Japan. We stayed in a superior traditional room and it was worth every cent - it was massive, with comfortable futons and a wonderful set of amenities. Hotel breakfast and the staff were great. The area is a little out of the old town, but all is reachable by walk. It’s pretty strategically positioned, between old town and Kanazawa station. Would 100% stay again.
