Top Downtown Kanazawa Hotel Reviews

Korinkyo

8/10 Good

"Petit hôtel vraiment très beau et esthétique. Le personnel est très avenant. Belle expérience. La chambre du devant de l’hôtel au deuxième étage est un peu bruyante à cause de la circulation mais quand même calme la nuit."

Onyado Nono Kanazawa Natural Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"The room is standard tatami with a double bed (mattress, no platform or bed frame). It's about 100 sq ft with a table and bench, stool and desk area. The Onsen is quite nice, clean, and not too crowded. It could be the shoulder season. Breakfast in the hotel is a must. Huge buffet spread with a lot of local small dishes, make your own donburi bowls, and fresh made tempura. There's so many things to try. I try to have breakfast around 7 to avoid the crowd. Late night they offer light ramen complimentary. They also have free washers and dryer is 100¥. Very reasonable. The location is close to Omicho market and about 20mins walk to the Kanazawa Station. Really quiet inside the room. I didn't hear anything at night and was able to enjoy restful sleep."

Hotel Forza Kanazawa

10/10 Excellent

"This was my favourite hotel so far on my trip. Perfect location, right at the midpoint from The train station and the geisha district, with the markets just a few feet away. This hotel was clean, with friendly staff and great amenities. They even offer a welcome drink! I would definitely stay there again."
