4-Star Hotels in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan

Very satisfied! The location is convenient, right in the city center, just three bus stops from Kanazawa Station. There's a hot spring on the top floor where you can relax every evening. Downstairs, there's a FamilyMart and a 7-Eleven. The biggest surprise was the breakfast, with two options to choose from. You can either go to the nearby Omicho Market or have breakfast on the first floor of the hotel. Since I only stayed for two days, I chose one option each day. At the seafood market, you can pick between two restaurants: one serving seafood bowls and the other offering blackthroat seaperch kamameshi. I chose the latter, and it was absolutely delicious. On the second day, I had breakfast on the first floor of the hotel, where there was a wide variety of choices, and I could assemble my own beautiful breakfast set using different containers!

It's great to see more high-quality apartment rentals becoming available. This place is perfect for extended stays, and having an in-unit washer-dryer is incredibly convenient. Since it just opened, all the facilities are brand new. Our high-floor apartment was very quiet and offered a nice view. Being able to cook your own meals is a big plus. It would be helpful if the host could offer more kitchen equipment for rent. The YouTube and Netflix streaming options were very convenient, and there's a self-service coffee station downstairs.

The hotel is conveniently located close to Kanazawa Castle Park and Kenrokuen Garden. The front desk offers free luggage storage, which is a great plus. The hotel itself is new with excellent facilities, and getting around is very easy. Kanazawa Station is also just about a 15-minute walk away.

For a trip to Kanazawa, I highly recommend Hotel Forza! Its location is incredibly convenient – directly across from JR Kanazawa Station, truly a ”right-outside-the-door” experience. You don't even need an umbrella if it rains; just cross the street and you're there, saving a ton on transportation costs! Beyond the unbeatable location, the hotel itself is excellent: the lobby has a great design, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the staff are friendly. The biggest bonus is their large, clean public bath. After exploring Kenrokuen Garden or the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, coming back for a soak instantly rejuvenates you! For a Kanazawa trip where you want to maximize your time, this place is absolutely the perfect base.

The hotel is very well located just few mins away from the station. The staff was kind and helpful throughout our stay. The room was big and clean,nothing much of view on the side of the room we were, the tv was not working properly I guess the Netflix button not working, I watched on laptop but I would want to use the tv 🤷🏼. There is a laundry on 4th floor, library and some fitness gym and vending machines. There are lots of convenience stores around. The restaurants in the hotel I didn’t get to go was too busy. Seemed interesting thought. I would say the price was a bit more than it provided. Overall it was an excellent hotel to stay to do your business or holidays or shopping. 🫰🏻

Kanazawa is a treasure of a city, definitely worth a visit. **Pros and Cons** Many reviews have already covered the hotel's advantages, so I'll focus on its drawbacks. First, it's not close to the station; it's a 20-minute walk with heavy luggage, though there's a bus stop nearby with routes to some attractions. After checking out, we took a taxi directly to Kanazawa Station for our Shinkansen, which cost 900 yen. Secondly, as it's a Japanese hot spring hotel, you have to take off your shoes at the entrance and lock them in a locker. You walk barefoot in the lobby and elevators, which I found a bit unhygienic. Upon arrival, I noticed that with so many guests, I couldn't guarantee the cleanliness of the large public bath, so I decided not to use it. Overall, this is a very unique Japanese hotel, and the breakfast absolutely beats any chain hotel. If you don't mind the points above, it's a worthwhile choice!

We absolutely loved our stay at the minimal modern Muji-style hotel! The design was sleek and inviting, creating a serene atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The hotel was exceptionally clean and comfortable, with thoughtful touches that enhanced our experience. Although our stay was short—just one night—we truly enjoyed every moment. The ambiance was perfect for relaxation, and we appreciated the convenient amenities that made our visit enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Kanazawa. Its blend of modern aesthetics and comfort makes it a standout choice!

This hotel boasts an excellent location, right in front and to the left of Kanazawa Station's East Exit. The hotel name is also clearly visible, making it very convenient for transportation. The design is sleek and modern, and the rooms are comfortable and just the right size. The only minor inconvenience was adjusting the water temperature for the shower, as you have to manually mix hot and cold water to get your desired temperature.

I used it with my girlfriend, and it was great, with no complaints and no regrets. It was the first time that I was provided with a meal for free (Yonaki Udon), and it was a refreshing experience. I would like to stay there again when I travel to Kanazawa again.

The hotel is in a great location, just a 6-minute walk from the JR station (next to Hotel Nikko). The room was spacious at 40 square meters, with two single beds and a bunk bed. The sofa also looked like it could comfortably sleep two more people. The bathroom had a dry/wet separation and was also quite large. The breakfast selection was quite rich, featuring authentic Kaga regional cuisine, though the coffee was pretty mediocre. The hotel thoughtfully provided a bottle of functional drink similar to Pocari Sweat every day, which was a nice touch – perhaps to help guests rehydrate after all the walking. There's also a public bath at the hotel, which was incredibly relaxing after a long day of walking.
