    Although it was an additional cost: the sauna, hot bath and cold bath on the top floor were amazing. In a great location for exploring the Korinbo and Nagamachi districts. The rooms are very cosy. Staff were really welcoming and polite.

    Small cozy hotel in quiet street close to lively area with restaurants and bars. Walking distance to Samurai district and other amenities. Staff very friendly and helpful. Shared toilet and showers, both kept very clean. Access to sauna which was nice after walking the whole day. No lift, only stairs. Beds very comfi.

    It is a little confusing what you can use as a guest and the spa is not included. Who can use what facilities is not clear and there is no information shared in your room in English.

    For the price the hotel is quite cute and comfortable. It's definitely good for some insta photos, and the location is great for sightseeing and really comes alive at night. There were really cool food places nearby too. Overall the staff was super accommodating and the hotel provides good value.

    There is a spa and rooftop bath but you have to pay extra for it.

    Great Location in a side street next to the main road. Walking distance to the city center and major tourist spots like the castle park and Kenrokuen Garden. Lots of dining options available close by. The hotel floors are pretty narrow and there is no elevator. The rooms are bigger than the average Japanese hotel rooms.

    ir was a bit cold, but with the AC on full blast it was possible to get the room warm.

    Neat small place. Simple but nice and clean, great area to explore the city, many things in walking distance. staff was very friendly and helpful.

    The projector is very difficult to use. Android doesn't work. We had to use a data line or watch movies by 4G. The position of the projector is wired. We have to move the bed to project the movie on the wall (without screen). They said that we could get a cup of drink for free on the 5th floor. But actually, no one was there on serving time. The most interesting thing is that we found a package of condom which belongs to someone lived there before. The ast but not the least, if there's some hand sanitizer, it would be better.

    It's very convenient to go shopping and have a dinner. And room is warm. The front desk is pretty and helped us a lot.

    Very comfortable, clean and nice hotel, near the main attractions from Kanazawa. The receptionist was very kind and helped us to deliver our luggages to the next destination, which we appreciated a lot. If you want to use the sauna facilities, make sure you book in advance. We fully recommend this hotel. Thank you very much for the kindness.

    Glass is covered with bubble-plastic for privacy. Wall was damaged. Lamp was damaged. Noisy street with zero soundproofing. Feels like maintenance is not being kept up to date. Value for money simply isn't there.

    Owners were friendly Shower was good with space to dress with privacy.

    Nothing. It was perfect. Stairs are a bit narrow and no elevator, but really this is not a problem for most people.

    Great location. Wonderful accommodations. Wonderful staff. The sauna is also wonderful.

    Absolutely nothing to mention here!!!!!

    It is pefectly located in walking distance to the most prominent sites in Kanazawa and is directly surrounded by a lovely choice of small restaurants. It has lovely staff and the shared facilities are really no issue at all, since they are perfectly clean and there are bathing options inhouse (sauna) and a great Sento in walking distance, if you fancy an upgrade. Simplicity at it‘s best!!!!

    There is no wifi, but we kind of liked it.

    Hotel is located near numerous city attractions, but it was very quiet and peaceful. Room is cozy, neat and clean, perfect place to spend the night after a day of sightseeing. Me and my partner loved the projector - it was great to have a cup of tea while watching tv. Owner is very nice. We forgot some stuff in the room, he was quick to contact us and mail the package.

    Was a little difficult taking our bags up the narrow staircase, but it was only a very minor inconvenience that doesn’t change our high opinion of the hotel!

    Great location, friendly staff and very comfortable room (they are small, but we didn’t need much room as we were really only there to sleep). Shared bathroom facilities were clean and the layout was great.
