Guest UserLocation: Right next to Omicho Market, about a 15-minute walk from Kanazawa Station, and easily accessible by bus. Kanazawa city center is quite small, and the hotel is about a 10-minute walk to Korinbo, the main shopping district.
Room Layout: Upon entering the hotel, you remove your shoes and walk barefoot, giving it a Japanese onsen hotel feel. The rooms are tatami style, and you switch to slippers when entering the restroom.
Surrounding Environment: I was assigned a room not facing the street, which was quite quiet. The hallway soundproofing, however, was average. One night after midnight, I could clearly hear some Hongkongers speaking loudly in their room.
Service: It was decent. The front desk staff's attitude was fine, but they enforce a policy of cleaning rooms only once every three days or more. If you request daily cleaning, there's an additional charge of 1500 JPY, which is a bit annoying.
Hot Spring Facilities: Pretty good! There's an outdoor onsen and a sauna. The onsen area is quite spacious. After soaking, you get free ice pops, and there's late-night ramen available. It was a very comfortable hot spring experience.

WoailvxingdianyingyinyueyueduI stayed at the Kanazawa Blue Time Hostel for six consecutive nights.
After arriving at Komatsu Airport, I took the airport bus for 1300 yen directly to Kanazawa Station. From the Drum Gate (a landmark in front of Kanazawa Station), it's about a 150-meter walk to the hostel building. The hostel occupies the entire 3rd floor; there's no elevator, which might be inconvenient if you have large suitcases.
The hostel's location is very convenient, a 3-minute walk to Kanazawa Station. There are various restaurants and supermarkets within the station, and you can walk to Omicho Market, Kenrokuen Garden, Kanazawa Castle, the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Higashi Chaya Street, and other tourist areas. You can also buy a one-day bus pass at the Kanazawa Station Tourist Information Center to explore Kanazawa.
I stayed in a female dormitory room. This area requires a password to enter, ensuring good privacy. There are seven female dorm rooms, each with a dedicated toilet and shower. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and provide face wash, shower gel, conditioner, and a hairdryer. The beds were spacious, single-level rather than bunk beds, with ample room. Each bed had a locker with a password, slippers, and a clean towel provided daily. Free Wi-Fi with a stable signal was available. The women's area also had a dedicated tea room with a kettle, microwave, and mini-fridge. Note that toothbrushes and toothpaste were not provided. The shower room was small, which might feel cramped for taller individuals. My only issue was the mattress, which was too soft for my comfort.
The hostel's common areas offered free coffee and tea, and the mixed dormitory area had showers, washrooms, and washing machines and dryers, making the facilities quite comprehensive. This was a great, affordable place to stay during my solo trip to Kanazawa, where I had a pleasant and enjoyable time. Kanazawa is a clean, beautiful, quaint, and charming city, and I hope to have the opportunity to visit again.

Anonymous UserI stayed for one nights. The front desk staff and the restaurant staff were all very friendly and made for a very comfortable stay. They also gave me detailed information about recommended restaurants in the area. The large public bath was also very spacious, and from the open-air bath I could see the mountain stream through the trees. The sound of the water and the clear air were truly soothing. I expect the cold weather will continue in Yamanaka Onsen for the foreseeable future, so please take care of yourselves, and I hope all the staff members take good care of themselves.

Guest UserThe hotel's overall design is stunning, and the traditional Japanese ambiance envelops you from the moment you step through the door. The use of gold, red, and black makes the entire hotel feel elegant, dignified, and luxurious. The products in the on-site gift shop are also very unique and beautiful, making you want to buy them, and they aren't even particularly expensive.

bmblgloi 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.

LoveEmiyConveniently located directly opposite the Crowne Plaza hotel from the JR station. The hotel itself has a very Western artistic flair. The bathroom takes up about half of the room, and you can catch a great view of the sunset from the window. The staff were very welcoming and the breakfast was incredibly rich, featuring many local Japanese specialties.

Completely exceeded my expectations! It's less than a 10-minute walk from the JR Shinkansen station, right next to Omicho Market, and there's a bus stop downstairs. The lobby on the 16th floor offers amazing panoramic views in every direction, plus a complimentary water bar. The staff were all very welcoming and provided excellent service, and the room was spotless. If I ever get the chance to visit Kanazawa again, I'd definitely stay at this hotel. Extremely satisfied! 👍

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!
