    Nothing. We loved everything.

    The hotel was incredible and the room, was the most beautiful place we stayed in Japan. The staff was kind and went out of their way to make our stay exceptional. The breakfast was also truly amazing in a beautiful private traditional Japanese room.

    First off, Ryoko was fantastic. She picked us up from the airport, helped us out with anything we needed, and was just very amazing. The hotel itself was beautiful, the room looked amazing, it was very clean, the bathroom was great. Everything about the actual property looked fantastic. The garden in the middle of the hotel was beautiful as well. The breakfast was really great, the food was good and we were seated in a private room that was also very beautiful. We weren’t able to eat dinner at the restaurant but the chef and staff were all very kind and we wish we could have eaten there. Everything about our stay here was great. We really recommend this espectacular hotel

    Everything about this stay was IMPECCABLE with not a detail spared to ensure you have the most comfortable stay. The stay is actually the upper-level + back room behind a gorgeous cafe/restaurant within a machiya (traditional townhouse); so you get the whole accomodation to yourself! Beautiful traditional details including tatami mats, screen doors & a tranquil inner garden; paired with modern comforts — gorgeous bathroom and bed. The hoast was incredible, giving great restaurant recommendations & serving the most delicious breakfasts every morning. We loved this stay and will certainly be back.

    Nothing.

    Absolutely everything! There’s no amount of superlatives that would best explain just how good this accommodation is. The staff were incredible, very professional, generous and friendly. They went above and beyond to make our stay the best it could be. They provide a private room for breakfast, complimentary drinks for the duration of stay and even laundry service was included. The room was absolutely incredible. So luxurious with all the moment features you could want but still feeling like a traditional Japanese townhouse. I have stayed in some amazing accommodations before but this place was next level. I really hope to can but to this place one day.

    The beds are all futons (on raised platform in the main bedroom) - could be a bit hard for some if you are used to Western-style mattresses.

    Beautiful property with many original features. The set up - two bedrooms with sliding doors closing them off, and separate living area - worked well for parents travelling with kids. Breakfast was wonderful. Check and and check out were super smooth. Wish we had booked the restaurant for dinner!

    I booked Hotel 101 simply because it was so well reviewed by others. Did it live up to my very high expectations ? ABSOLUTELY 100% Special mention to the lovely helpful staff for which nothing was too much trouble. And yes, the included breakfast and coffee is as wonderful as everyone says it is and exquisitely presented. Just one word is needed to sum up my stay: PERFECT….

    Nothing to add here. I liked everything.

    Decoration, building, distribution of the rooms and the facilities options. I love the transition between the spaces and how spacious everything feels. They put a lot of care into details and the place is just a gem. I highlight as well both the cafe shop and the owners themselves. Both were really wonderful.

    The only complaint we have is that the mattress on the bed was a little thin. it was not a problem for my son and I, but my husband is a tall man and his extra weight meant he could feel the wood base below.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property. The apartment is so beautiful, the amenities are ample and high quality. They provided the softest pajamas I had my whole trip. Water, snacks, coffee, and tea were ample and delicious. The bathrooms beautiful and so functional. And the previous reviews are not exaggerating about how wonderful the breakfast is. The private room is peaceful and beautiful and the food spectacular. They also provided a welcome coffee or soda beverage while you checkin. These folks really no how to do coffee. The star of the stay though, is the owner/proprietress. She is so incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive. Her communication was prompt and helpful. She made wonderful restaurant recommendations and was just incredibly accommodating overall. If we come back to Japan, we will make a special trip to Kanazawa just to stay again. Although, Kanazawa is so special, we would probably come again anyway!

    We loved and enjoyed the stay so much! Ryoko san was very supportive and fast in response not only from the beginning of our stay but also before the stay. I asked for vegetarian menu for breakfast, and it came the perfect delicious breakfast. We only stayed one night unfortunately this time, but hopefully next time we can stay longer!

    Everything was perfect!!

    Hotel101 was absolutely exquisite and honestly one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. The hosts were amazing and could not have been more helpful. The experience began upon arrival to the hotel where we were invited into the cafe below and offered complimentary drinks. The hotel room (it is more like a small house) was absolutely beautiful with everything you could want. There were two bedrooms (one with a king size bed and the other with futons), a huge living area and a lovely balcony overlooking a traditional Japanese garden. The amenities and snacks provided in the room and bathrooms were outstanding. The included breakfast each morning was also spectacular. We were invited into a private dining room and had individually cooked meals and drinks each morning and also offered complimentary drinks at the cafe throughout the day. The staff were so lovely and fantastic with our children. Finally, the location is great - an easy walk from Kanazawa station and all the sights of the city are within walking distance. I honestly could not rate this hotel highly enough and we cannot wait to return!!!
