    Hotel Kanazawa Zoushi is beautifully appointed and has been architecturally designed to incorporate the natural textures found in Japanese culture. Service and attention to detail were impeccable. Our room was spacious and comfortable with the latest bathroom technology. This boutique hotel is located close to all of the attractions found in Kanazawa.

    Lovely Japanese house, I enjoyed sleeping on the futon. The location was close to the Higashi Chaya district. Facilities are all modernised, bottles of shower products even provided so you can visit the local bathhouse. Clearly it has been designed with care. I would say this property is best to stay multiple nights in Kanazawa and explore at a relaxed pace.

    Wow this hotel is gorgeous and luxurious. They did a great job with the interior design and it was really unique: the pictures, the beautiful carpets, the garden outside. I was not ready for how gorgeous the hotel was. Rooms were wonderful, staff were polite and professional. Great location in the center of Kanazawa. I recommend it if you are planning a trip to Kanazawa.

    Beautiful little hotel with great design touches. Lovely bathroom and very comfy bed with super-fluffy duvet. Didn't have breakfast - Curio just across the road has delicious cinnamon lattes.

    A stylish boutique hotel in a perfect location. Staff really lovely and couldn't do enough for you. On arrival the manager went through all the hotel information, which was helpful and informative. Bathroom facilities were great, with complimentary bath crystals, perfect after a long day walking. Convenient to have a free well-stocked minibar.
