4-Star Hotels in Kanazawa

Brilliant boutique hotel with truly kind and amazing staff.  Only 15 rooms but the staff truly outsize the hotel in terms of what would wow me.  They really make you feel very comfortable and safe.  Great location to visit Kenrokuen! 

Welcomed by very friendly staff. Luggage Train were all organised in room after check in. Provided with options on room cleaning services. Free sake tasting, and tea in the evening is a plus. Good onsen areas. They even help me with my Yukata. Gifted us some free postcards, and also had a little birthday surprise gift in the room. Great location too.

If there's a Daiwa, I'll always choose Daiwa first! This one is at Kanazawa West Exit. Just walk past the entrance of the HYATT Regency hotel on your right, then turn right again, and you're there. I got a random room type, which turned out to be a twin room. I arrived at Kanazawa Station at 13:01 and at the hotel at 13:06. The front desk said there was a room available and checked me in right away, saving me the hassle of storing my luggage. So grateful! 🥹 The toilet is separate, the sink is separate, and the shower room even has a bathtub. The space is plenty big, clean, and tidy!!! Highly recommended!!!

i could hear the traffic clearly on the 3rd floor, so they moved me to the 12th floor where it was mostly quiet. there was an electrical buzzing sound coming from the bathroom, i thought it was the lightbulb, but when i got in the shower it sounded like it emanated from the vent. i shut the bathroom door and it was almost inaudible from bed so i was able to sleep. definitely quieter than most of the japanese hotels i've experienced in this price range. very clean. very polite staff. free water machine on every floor (i think). free coffee in the lobby. convenience stores nearby. expensive grocery store ~200 meters. regular grocery stores are a bus ride away, so it made more sense to me to get the buffet. breakfast costs 1800yen when paying in-person, but when adding it on trip.com it was less of an increase in cost. it was disappointing because there were pictures of different kinds of fish online and on the picture in the hotel lobby, but they didn't have fish as seen kin the pictures. i still purchased the breakfast when i extended my stay because they had eggs, good vegetables, and ice cream. the fruit was in syrup so i'm guessing it was from a can. orange juice was from a carton. i didn't see any meat in the curry, just potatoes. overall, mostly cheap, but with a few tasty items of quality. only 2 washing machines and they also dry the clothes so it takes ~2 hours. 400-600 yen for washing and drying. it dispenses detergent automatically, but the detergent was insufficient so i added my own and rewashed it; therefore, i was unfortunately hogging 1 of the 2 machines for several hours. plus it cost me well over 1000 yen.

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of several attractions. Kanazawa Station is easily accessible by multiple bus routes, which is a real plus. For breakfast, we tried both options during our two-night stay: The first morning, we had the three-way blackthroat seaperch dish at Omicho Market. The fish was delicious, and the ochazuke (rice with tea) was fresh and flavorful. This is a great option if you plan on trying multiple local foods throughout the day, as it's not too filling. On the second day, we opted for the buffet breakfast on the hotel's first floor. There was a wide variety of choices, but it did get quite crowded, so I recommend going early. This is perfect if you have travel plans for the day, as a hearty breakfast here could easily carry you through lunch. The room itself was reasonably spacious. The TV conveniently displays real-time occupancy updates for the public bath. Compared to other business hotels in Japan, Mitsui Hotels tend to be more consistently reliable and modern.

Lovely hotel with some nice touches (I especially appreciate the free decaf coffee drip bags!). The staff were so lovely and helpful (and very patiently with me whilst calling around multiple izakayas to see if they'd show the World Cup match. The room was very spacious and we were happy there was a gym. Breakfast was pretty good, and it was good being within walking distance of both Kanazawa Station and Omicho market (see photo for delicious seafood) . We were a bit far from other attractions but it forced us to get some extra steps in which was no bad thing!

A more traditional kind of hotel targeting a variety of travellers. Close to the Kanazawa Station, so it is a convenient location for getting to various spots. Late checkout available for IHG members

The hotel itself isn't bad, but the location is quite inconvenient. It's located past the bar district and nightlife establishments of Katamachi, so at night there are touts and bouncers standing on the streets, which is pretty unpleasant (though unavoidable). The hotel is very clean, and there aren't any major issues, but I did question the cleanliness a bit, as there was hair accumulated in the women's public bath.

For my trip to Kanazawa, I stayed at Minn Kanazawa. The first things that struck me were the hotel's overall ambiance and the spaciousness of the room. It felt a bit different from typical business hotels, with a calm, Japanese-modern design that also hinted at Kanazawa's unique atmosphere. The guest room was very roomy, so I didn't feel cramped even with my luggage spread out, and I could really relax after returning from sightseeing. I also appreciated how clean and well-maintained the facilities and rooms were. When traveling, you often spend more time in your hotel than you expect, so a clean and comfortable room is really important. In that regard, Minn Kanazawa was very cozy and a great place to unwind after a day of walking around. What was most convenient, however, was the location. It's close to Omicho Market and easily accessible to Kanazawa Castle Park and Kenrokuen Garden, making it an excellent base for exploring Kanazawa. Since many of Kanazawa's attractions are walkable, being able to simply step out of the hotel and enjoy the city was incredibly handy. It was also great to be able to easily return to the hotel after enjoying meals and sightseeing. The hotel's self-check-in system and slightly different style from conventional hotels also left an impression. Once you get used to it, it's very smooth and doesn't take up unnecessary time, which I liked. Furthermore, they have larger rooms that can accommodate multiple people, so I felt it would be suitable not just for solo travelers or couples, but also for friends or families visiting Kanazawa. It felt less like a hotel and more like having our own rented apartment in Kanazawa, which I think would especially appeal to those who want to relax and take their time. Overall, the balance of cleanliness, room size, location, and design was excellent, making for a very satisfying stay. I would particularly recommend this hotel to anyone planning to visit Omicho Market, Kenrokuen Garden, and Kanazawa Castle area. It's perfect for those who want to enjoy sightseeing in Kanazawa while also having a relaxing time at their hotel. If I have another chance to visit Kanazawa, this hotel will definitely be on my list of places to stay.

The hotel is clean and tidy, and there's a hot spring bath on the top floor. It's located near Omicho Market. I booked early and got a triple room for less than 300 per night, which was excellent value for money. I was very satisfied with my 4-night stay.
