Hotels met Wifi in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan

Location: 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.

I 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.

A more traditional kind of hotel targeting a variety of travellers. Close to the Kanazawa Station, so it is a convenient location for getting to various spots. Late checkout available for IHG members

We really loved our stay here. The staff were very helpful, the facilities were clean and well appointed. The room was large, clean and well maintained with traditional styling. The view of the river and forest was tranquil and the onsen was big and very clean with at least 2-3 hot pools, a cold plunge bath and sauna. The view from the onsen is also really beautiful. The food was also really incredible. Overall the place has a very tranquil and calming vibe. We spent four nights here but wish we could have stayed longer.

The 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.

i 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.

As expected from a well-established hotel! The front desk service was incredibly welcoming. The hotel itself is grand and upscale, with spacious and bright rooms. It truly lives up to its reputation as the tallest building in Hokuriku, offering excellent views from the room. I didn't get to try breakfast, but the hotel boasts 7 restaurants and a sky bar, which says it all. Every service you could think of is available. It's also very close to Kanazawa Station; you can reach the station entirely via an underground passage, so no need to worry about rain or sun! The room amenities are all-inclusive. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Kanazawa!

This hotel is clearly showing its age and may not meet expectations for those looking for a more modern or well-maintained stay. While it carries the IHG branding, the overall experience feels dated. One of the main challenges was communication. The front desk staff had very limited English proficiency, making it difficult to get clear directions—especially regarding parking. Guests are required to go to the front desk to ask about parking arrangements, which is not very convenient. The signage outside is also misleading, and it’s easy to mistakenly park at a nearby open-air lot that charges ¥100 per 15 minutes or ¥1000 for 12 hours. The hotel’s designated parking is actually located in a shopping mall, which is not immediately obvious. The rooms themselves are quite old, with worn facilities. The bathroom had a noticeable musty smell, suggesting poor ventilation or maintenance. Amenities were basic—Dove toiletries were provided instead of the more commonly seen Pola brand in Japanese hotels. The air conditioning was also ineffective, which made the stay less comfortable. That said, the hotel does have one strong advantage: location. It is directly opposite Ōmichō Market, making it very convenient for exploring the market and enjoying a great local breakfast. Overall, this hotel may be suitable for travelers who prioritize location over comfort, but those expecting a smoother and more modern stay might want to consider other options.

Exceeded expectations and is a highly recommended hotel. The hotel offers airport and JR station shuttle services, completely solving transportation issues in the mountains. The service is exceptional; everyone is smiling and genuinely cares about their guests. It's a great place for a relaxing vacation.

Both are good. There's a Japanese restaurant on the second floor that's delicious and reasonably priced—highly recommended. Kenrokuen Garden is right across the street, and the art museum is also nearby, all within walking distance. There are also buses nearby that go to Kanazawa Station, which is very convenient.
