3-Star Hotels in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan

This hotel is quite basic, similar to an economy hotel in China. The room isn't very spacious, but the details are well-thought-out, and all necessary amenities are available. The hotel's main advantage is its incredibly convenient location; just step out the door to the left, and you're at Kanazawa train station. The ginkgo trees lining the streets in late autumn offer a charming view, making travel very easy. I noticed many domestic business travelers and older students staying there. The hotel has a public bathhouse accessible with your room card, but we were too exhausted from sightseeing every day to try it. Overall, this hotel isn't for a relaxing 'lie-flat' stay, but for those who frequently visit attractions, its location and value for money make it a pretty good choice.

Although the room is 19sqm, it was enough for 3 of us. The bathroom was a good size. The location was good, 15 min walk from kenroku-en. There was free flow drinks at the cafe from 4-8pm.. However, as our room was on 2nd floor, and next to the small lane, with many pubs, it was quite noisy through the night.

The hotel is located just to the left of the JR Kanazawa Station East Exit (towards Kenroku-en Garden), right next to a shopping mall. After crossing a small road and turning left, you'll see it immediately. They offer daily towel changes and trash removal, and bed sheets are changed every three days. The room size is also good. My only minor issue was a low, rumbling noise that seemed to surround the room, which stopped around 11 PM and started again at 7 or 8 AM. It's nice that you can crack open the window for ventilation. There are vending machines and a microwave on the 8th floor, which is very convenient. It's also super convenient for travelers with luggage.

The location is fantastic! Although it's a bit of a walk from Kanazawa Station, the hotel is surrounded by amazing restaurants. All the eateries recommended by the official Kanazawa website are within walking distance, and the hotel is centrally located, making it super convenient to get anywhere. Since taking the bus can be a hassle, I'd recommend walking – it really doesn't take that long, haha! The hotel environment is also perfectly fine. They don't provide slippers, but since it's a Japanese-style tatami room, you just walk on it directly, so it's no big deal. If you're particular, you can bring your own disposable slippers. Plus, the hotel cleans daily, and even the shoe cabinet is wiped clean! Just a heads-up: you can't stay in the room during cleaning hours (11:00 AM - 3:00 PM), and check-ins aren't processed then either. You can hang out in the hotel lobby during that time, but honestly, when you're on vacation, shouldn't you be out enjoying yourself instead of waiting around?

The highlight of the hotel is its location. You are right over the train station, but you would never notice it in the room because of the silence. The room is acceptable for two people. Everything is clean and the shower works perfectly. There are tons of great toiletries at the reception. You must do your own check in which might be a little bit tricky but it is not that difficult. The only downside we experienced is that the dryer does not do a great work having to hang a lot of clothes and depending on the heating system.

Look no further, Mori no Sumika Resort and Spa is absolutely wonderful! The staff are amazing, the rooms are spacious and well appointed, the property to include the hot springs baths is excellent - the food offerings for breakfast and dinner changes each day, the chef serving the freshest seafood, meats, vegetables. It’s a beautiful place that you’ll never want to leave and for sure come back to sooner than later. Arigato gozaimasu

Excellent hotel with a beautiful view from the window. The hotel has a separate entrance, located next to Hotel Forza (which is across the street). Google Maps shows the entrance through the shopping center, which is also accessible, but you'd have to walk through the entire store to get to the elevator. The reception is on the 16th floor. The staff were very polite and helpful with everything; the rooms had all the necessary amenities.

It was quite difficult to find the first time, and I walked around a bit, but after I got familiar with it, it was quite close from the station to the hotel. You have to go through the archway to the opposite door (there are many bus stops) and walk on the right for 7-8 minutes. It's just an ordinary budget hotel. I didn't take pictures of the room and bathroom, but the quilt was quite thick. I also ordered breakfast with curry, rice, salad, and bread (pictured). The price was quite reasonable, and it was good overall.

Always been a big fan of the Dormy Inn chain, guaranteed a nice onsen and delicious supper and breakfast. Checking in and out is a breeze. This hotel is located steps away from the JR station as well as bus terminal, very easy to hop on a bus to tour the city. Highly recommended.

The hotel was perfect; the rooms were spacious, and breakfast was included with check-in. I didn't go downstairs for breakfast until 8:30 am and didn't encounter any crowds. The hotel provides a shuttle bus service to and from Kanazawa Station, which is very convenient. The boarding point at Kanazawa Station is in the group bus area. If you're unsure where to catch the shuttle bus when you first arrive in Kanazawa, you can refer to the location and pick-up times in the pictures.
