Kanazawa Hotels with Balcony

I’m here now and want to write about my experience as it’s happening. I’m blown away at this property. The beauty, the people, the quiet…except for the waterfall which you hear if you’re outside. I have a balcony room. The AC is splendid! There’s a tub inside the large shower area. The shower water is a little weaker than I normally care for, but YMMV. Breakfast is a huge buffet with very nice options, all Japanese and all high quality. Both mornings, I’ve been served an amuse. Tonight I’ll try dinner for the first time here, and no doubt it’ll be delicious. If you opt out of housekeeping, they leave you a big bag of two each large towels, hand towels and bath towels. Housekeeping is as quiet as a church mouse. I arrived at the Kanazawa train station, and even though I knew that there would be a shuttle bus, and which side to exit from, I didn’t know which one was mine. This information is not on the website, so I’ll tell you that you exit on the west side, and upon exiting, turn to the right, where the group bus waiting area is. And watch for a bus that is white with an orange *****e on the front. One other word of caution. There are two hotels that are named the same. Just because you see the hotel name on the outside, that may not be yours. Do you want to be sure that the driver and the accompanying guide know that the one you want is on this particular street. It’s a really new hotel, as it’s only been open for about a year. I upgraded and got the lounge access and that’s been totally worth it! The afternoon suites are so stunningly gorgeous and there’s a cocktail hour also in the afternoon, but I think it’s really like three or four hours long. The staff speaks their English, but have your Google translate ready for words that they may not automatically know. However, I will say they are extremely eager to understand and please you. I highly recommend this hotel!!

I went to the inn around 1pm to leave my luggage before check-in, but they said the room was ready, so I was able to check it in even though it was before 3pm! You can leave your luggage for free! At that time, I decided whether I would have Japanese or Western food for breakfast. The room and lobby were very nice and clean. There was a plastic bottle of water in the refrigerator in the room, two types of bath salts, and pine and plum trees in the room! Although there is no hot spring, the bath was spacious, clean and sufficient! There are also free drinks such as hojicha, orange juice, apple juice, and water, which you can take back to your room. If you go to the lobby between 21:00 and 23:00, you can get free soba noodles! I came home from dinner and wasn't sure if I would be able to eat one serving, so I asked if it would be okay if we both had one. When I asked him about it, he told me that it was about half the amount of a normal serving, and in the end, I was able to enjoy each one at a time🥰 I chose Japanese food for breakfast, and the grilled Nodoguro fish was so fluffy that I was impressed! There were a lot of side dishes and they were delicious, but it might be a little too much for women. I can't! I was able to relax and have a great time at a nice inn!

Very good place to stay! Beautiful and comfortable rooms. The hotel is very comfortable and it doesn't create any problems. Our only criticism is breakfast, perhaps they could make it a little more.

This was my first time staying at a completely renovated old house, but it was clean and spacious, and I was able to relax very comfortably. The location was also good, as it was only a 10-minute walk to Kanazawa's downtown area. The staff were also very polite.

Happy journey is indispensable for a good hotel

This is a reasonably priced hotel within walking distance from the Kanazawa station. The facility is quite new, and very well kept up, although the check-in area doesn’t give the greatest first impression. Security is good, with keycard access to the rooms, although no overnight coverage at the front desk. Room size (we had the family suite) was good, although the multiple beds took up most the room – good for big families. Bed was somewhat soft for our tastes, but we slept well. Bathroom and toilet are separate, a nice feature. Very nice shower with great water pressure. Staff communication good, and front desk personnel spoke excellent English. Our suite faced the railway tracks adjacent to the building, but the windows blocked most, but not all the noise from the trains; the residual noise was not enough to bother us, or affect our sleep. Unit was clean and well maintained – no squeaky doors or sink stoppers that didn’t work. Clothes storage is non-existent; only a limited number of hangers available. Lighting in the unit was excellent, and reading at night was easy. Large screen TV, with Netflix programming available without a membership – nice touch for those who don’t have a subscription, particularly since there’s no English TV channels that we could find. Ductless air conditioning worked quietly and effectively. Kitchen well equipped, but little room for eating. We didn’t use the washing machine, so can’t comment. The continental breakfast (called “Bread”) was actually quite good, although limited in scope. Excellent coffee – Illy machine that makes several kinds of coffee. We particularly appreciated the free ride back to the station. Overall, a very good value hotel, and we’d be happy to return.

It was our first time in a traditional hotel like Yuya Ruru so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the location and overall comfort of the hotel. We stayed in a suite which was absolutely huge and had it's own outdoor hot bath, which was super nice. The beds were really comfortable and it was very nice being there, including breakfast which was a Japanese style buffet. The location is away from the central area of the city, along the river in a fairly quiet part of town. It was a nice and easy walk to the main attractions (like 25 minutes to the castle) or a quick cab ride. I wouldn't describe this hotel as spectacular or upscale, but it was clean and quiet and a perfect base from which to explore Kanawaza.
