APA Hotel Kanazawa-Ekimae

Excellent access. All staff were very kind, and everything—from check-in and check-out to luggage storage and pickup—was smooth.I understand the bath can get crowded, but during peak hours it was especially difficult for women; even with guidance at the entrance, it was so packed that there were no lockers available. I happened to go in just before it got busy, and when I came out there were so many people that I quickly took my belongings from the locker to free it up for others. On days with many guests, it’s best to choose your time carefully. From 9:00 PM on Saturday, it was extremely crowded.For a Multiple Night Stay, towel-only replacement is fine and eco-friendly, but it was disappointing that the complimentary water was provided for only one night. If staying multiple nights, I would have liked it delivered again with the towels the next day (other Hotels do this even for multiple-night stays).The Room coffee is instant stick coffee. If you care about coffee quality, bringing your own is recommended. There is a kettle.This was my first stay at an APA Hotel. It’s efficient and kind; if you think of it as a Business Hotel where you don’t use the large public bath, I think it’s a good Hotel.The air conditioning cannot be adjusted—depending on the season, it may feel too hot or too cold.During a very busy festival period, this convenience and price were great.

Great location near Kanazawa Station for first-time visitors. The bathing area was crowded, and waiting in line was a bit disappointing. The outdoor bath is accessible via stairs, but the long staircase felt cold and uninviting. Breakfast was excellent and very satisfying.
