Very Good

Hotel is conveniently located on the east gate of Kanazawa station, with nearby shopping malls (opp Forus shopping mall), and lots of restaurants.
Hotel is more like business hotel setup, furnishes is dated but clean. The only downside which we don’t like is the bedside lamp is fixed very near to the bed, am very afraid will bang onto them when sleeping too near.
Kanazawa is very tourist oriented, there is a tourist loop bus which you can purchase for the day which is about 800yen per adult unlimited rides on this loop bus (otherwise per trip is about 210 yen), you can purchase the ticket from the East gate bus information counter, and bus boarding at bay no 7. This tourist loop bus passes the tourist spots like the Chaya district, Kanazawa Castle Park / Kenrokuen (same bus stop), Omicho market (which is about 15 min walk from Kanazawa station).

The location is very continent if you are going to use trains a lot while staying in Kanazawa. The hotel is not so close to the main attractions of the city, but if you're ok about walking for a while you can there without buses. It was our case we were sating 4 nights in Kanazawa and took and took 1-day trips to other towns, so for us the location was very convenient. There are several restraints near the hotel. We fell in love with the one in shopping mall that serve unlimited shabu-shabu. The sushi restraints there also great if you are ok with waiting for a table.
Despite being located near the train-roads the room is very quiet! It is comfortable, modern and not so tiny as some rooms in Japanese hotels are. Bed and bathroom are comfortable. Also there is a large desk so you can feel comfortable if you need to work. Near the front desk you can get bathroom amenities and even scented bath bombs)
Welcome-drink is also a nice touch.
We had only one problem - we could not check-in using the machine. Don't know why it couldn't our booking. But the stuff was there to help and solved it quickly.
So we had great time here and I'll definitely stay in this hotel once again if we return to Kanazawa.

Great location. 5 min walk from Kanazawa station. Room is a bit small but clean and tidy. Welcome drinks at the lobby for coffee, tea and juice is very thoughtful.

This hotel is right next to the station, almost at zero distance. The hotel is also large and clean. Check-in and check-out are all self-service. Although it is in the downtown area, it is not noisy at all. It snowed heavily for a few days in Kanazawa, which added a unique flavor.

It's a few minutes' walk from the JR station. There are no convenience stores downstairs. The room is not too small. There is one large bed and one small bed. It is very comfortable for three people. It's a pity that there are no special attractions in Kanazawa. It can only be used as a transit point.

This hotel has great service, a convenient location and super large rooms. There are very few hotels near stations with affordable prices that have such large rooms. The accommodation experience is very comfortable! This is the hotel I would like to choose next time!
I like using the famous Kutani ware cups in Kanazawa.

The room was OK. The room was not cleaned for 3 days, but towels were placed at the door every day. There was free coffee and toiletries on the first floor. The hotel is opposite the door of the shopping mall, which is very convenient.

The hotel is right next to Kanazawa Station, where there are many delicious foods. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. It rained the next day when we arrived, so we borrowed an umbrella from the hotel.

The hotel is in a good location, just opposite one of the forus gates. It's very convenient. It takes about six or seven minutes to walk to the entrance of Kanazawa Station. The room is very large, which is good for those with large suitcases.

It's about a 5-minute walk from Kanazawa Station and FORUS is right opposite. The location is great.
The room is big enough. Opening the 28-inch suitcase will not affect walking. All the necessary equipment is available.
Washing and drying machines are also relatively cheap
At the reception on the first floor, you can also get free bath detergents and many other supplies.
The price is also very reasonable. It is a hotel with high CP value.

A relatively new hotel, located at the entrance of the station, it is actually quite easy to find, on a road next to the department store next to the station
Stayed on the 12th floor, the room size is OK for one person, 26-inch suitcase can be opened. Toiletries are available at the front desk, free coffee. The disadvantages of the room are that there are relatively few chargers and sockets, and you can only charge at the bedside
The service is basically non-existent, and the waiter is relatively indifferent

Turn left after exiting JR Kanazawa Station. There are two Smile Hotels. Don't go the wrong way.
Picture 1 shows Kanazawa Station. The hotel layout is very Japanese.
Kanazawa is more expensive and busier than other places in Hokuriku.
You can basically walk to shopping and dining nearby.
