Pretty basic business hotel a 5 minute walk from the station. The staff could manage English (Kanazawa really tries with english in its tourism unlike more well known locations) and joy of joys the hotel had wifi. The room was relatively small and the bathroom minute but the staff were friendly and the place had a good atmosphere. Breakfasts were... More

All the usual facilities easy access for walking from JR station. A nice western style hotel.

The Castle Inn was a great place to stay for our group. The price was reasonable, it was clean, we found the beds to be comfortable although a little on the small size. There was a good buffet breakfast every morning which was a huge plus since we were travelling with our children and mother-in-law. The kids especially liked the... More

Just stayed one night at Castle Inn to break a long trip and really wasnt expecting much, therefore i was pleasantly surprised to find a decent sized clean room, comfortable bed, great indoor and outdoor comunal baths and an excellent buffett breakfast - all for a bargain price (10,400Y) Plus its in easy walking distance from the train station and...

I stayed at this Japanese business hotel for one night. If arriving by train the location is excellent being just a few minutes away from the JR train station. It is however rather far from all the major sites (15-20 minutes) but the bus station is just outside the train station so it is still convenient. The hotel itself is... More

It was also quite inexpensive, which was nice compared to ryokans we'd been using. The people working there were also very pleasant. However, the beds were so uncomfortable that we didn't... More

Ok, Keep in mind we had just come from a fairly new Best Western in Takayama with good sized room & stylish decor(and paid almost DOUBLE Castle Inn's room rate). Castle Inn greeted us with an overwhelming stale-smoke odour reception area. The small lift appeared tired/grubby and it's floor was totally worn out & dirty. The room & ensuite were... More

• Very near JR Kanazawa station • Rooms clean and small - bathroom is clean yet compact • Decor is pink and grey - slightly 80s • Free internet on 1F • About a good 20 minutes walk to the main attractions

Handy again for JRail Pass travellers as about five minutes from Kanazawa station. The rooms are so tiny I feel a cull of some of the furniture would be a good start in helping to make the rooms appear more spacious. Junking the very Nanna bedspreads and following a minimalist decor could also improve the ambience. Clean enough though. Did... More
