2-Star Hotels in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan

Very modern and nice room in a good location close to the city centre. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. I booked a room for two, but the bed was a single with a couch on the side. The couch was comfortable, but it is not what I ordered or expected. It is a self checkout place, so while it is easy, you are not being served. I also missed the possibility of leaving our bags at reception or at least lockers. The ones in the front are for sending and receiving parcels.

This is the kind of homestay where many people live together. There is only a separate space for three people, and the rest are public facilities. The hotel’s location is about 10-15 minutes away from the station. In a street full of restaurants, the convenience store is far away, but the izakaya next to it is very characteristic. There are more locals, the owner is very enthusiastic, and a large conch is also presented. . The owner of the hotel is very nice and enthusiastic, and patiently help us guide the way. It may be that we are used to living in an environment with a separate bathroom, but feel that the private space is too small and inconvenient. There is nothing in the room except the quilt. We are not used to it and can only go out and stroll around. If you don’t mind these, language communication is barrier-free, and those willing to interact with locals, you can choose here.

The hotel’s location is excellent — very easy to find and just a short walk from the train station, which made it super convenient. It’s also close to a shopping mall that has everything you need. I really loved staying here and would definitely choose this place again if I visit this city in the future. Most importantly, the amenities were outstanding, especially the salt bath — I was truly impressed! After using it, my skin felt so soft. I absolutely loved it!

It was very comfortable for the owner to speak to me when I went out and when I left! I was worried that the water server was empty, but the other was good! It may not be suitable for those who are sensitive to sound or nervous and cannot sleep because the waterway is nearby! I was very satisfied because I didn't care and slept!

I made a reservation for my daughter's university entrance examination for 2 nights and 3 days, but I decided to make an additional reservation for one night later and used it for 3 nights and 4 days. Since the room scheduled for 2 nights was not available, I was planning to use another room for 1 nights, but I adjusted it and stayed in the same room for 3 days. My daughter was nervous about staying alone and taking the exam, but she was willing to accept the request for a wake-up call, and on the way home, she wrote ”Please come back to play again.” I am grateful for the warm hospitality such as accompanying me. Thank you. I would like to use it again.

Very convenient location. Walk about 10' from the east exit of the Kanazawa station. Easy to find. The stairs are steep and the owner helped me to carry my luggage to the 1/F, where my bed was. When I was back at night, he showed me around and gave me the necessary details in person. Even asked me to take my shower earlier because the hostel that night was fully booked by marathon runners who were joining the race today (Oct 29). He helped me to clear my problems about the special traffic arrangements on the marathon day as well. What a helpful and friendly host! The hostel is clean as well. Towels will be charged if needed.

The hotel staff were very kind and welcoming, and we had no difficulties communicating in English. The hotel is situated in a beautiful area and has a convenient bus stop nearby. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. 10/10 — I would definitely recommend!

The dorm was quite tricky to find on the sidewalk, walking from JR Kanazawa station, the sign was on a wall behind me, in the walkway leading into the building it was. One should look out to the left once you’ve reached the building. There were no staff when I checked in late at night around 10pm, but I received an email beforehand detailing the guest forms I should fill up and some other information. Once I arrived, there were other clear instructions about my bunk, luggage storage and house rules. The entry area had several books and leaflets about the area and a map indicating eateries and sightseeing locations recommended by staff, a useful touch. Some of it were in English too. The bunk was perfectly acceptable for a quick night sleep. The bed was wide and had lockable lockers to the side. Refreshments like drinks, snacks and noodles were also available for a small fee and payment was done via a tin box. Overall, very good value for money and it provided an opportunity to chat with other travellers staying by there. I chatted with someone from Taiwan and a local working at Kanazawa station’s tourist information centre. He was snowed in for the night and it’s worth noting that, it would be a struggle to haul luggage through heavy snow on the way to the property.

I have been back for a while and I think of writing reviews. Stayed for two nights and the hotel was close to a market. This family hotel has a general service attitude and is not enthusiastic. A small bottle of hot water is placed in the room every day. If it is not enough, you have to go downstairs to pick it up. The stairs are narrow. There is no bathroom in the room, which is not convenient at night. But the small bath is good. And the price is more expensive than the star hotel in the city, that is, experience once, will not choose again next time. In addition, the service desk called at ten o'clock to urge check-out, I think it was very rude. In short, this ryokan didn't leave me with a warm feeling.

The design of the Youth Hostel, the room is very small, 90 [%] or more foreigners, no noise and quiet at night. The public restrooms and bathrooms are very clean, the common kitchen pots, pans, knives and forks have everything, and they are spacious and bright. Note that the luggage storage can only be taken away on the same day. It is charged for overnight stays.
