The Kanazawa Sainoniwa Hotel

Since dinner isn’t included, there is a shuttle bus to and from the Kanazawa Station area, which makes it easy to go out to eat. Even though it’s one Room, the bath and toilet are in the middle, so it feels like the space is divided, which I liked. The breakfast buffet has a wide variety of options; the Kanazawa curry is delicious, and there are plenty of side dishes too—it's a luxurious breakfast that I really enjoyed. As soon as you enter the Hotel entrance, it smells wonderful, which I loved. I will definitely stay here again when I visit Kanazawa.

We stayed for three nights during the Obon holidays. It’s about a 5–6 minute taxi ride from Kanazawa Station. There is also a shuttle bus between the station and the Hotel, but unfortunately the schedule didn’t work for us, so we couldn’t use it even once. You can check the bus timetable on the Room TV, but it might have been even more convenient if we could have received a printed timetable at the front desk in advance. The location is right in a residential area, and it didn’t seem like there were any convenience stores nearby. However, there are drink vending machines inside the Hotel, and the lounge offers free takeout coffee and juices. Our Room was the most standard twin type, but it was spacious and very clean. Each Room has an entry space with a sliding door, which may be why we didn’t hear any noise from the hallway at all—very comfortable. The bathroom area was very easy to use; the bath was spacious, and plenty of high-quality linens were provided. The highly rated breakfast exceeded our expectations—everything was truly delicious! We enjoyed local specialties as well as Western, Japanese, Chinese dishes and sweets without getting bored over all three days.Finally, the staff hospitality was outstanding! From check-in to check-out, everyone in every department greeted us with warm smiles and genuine care, making our stay in Kanazawa truly wonderful.
