Perfect location for a solo visit to Kanazawa.
Pros:

The location was perfect - right opposite one of the entrances to Kenrokuen garden. My room overlooked a major crossroads but there is no noise from the traffic.

Cons:

It was all great. Maybe a bar would be nice but I could happily sit in the restaurant alone anyway.

Perfeito
Pros:

Tudo perfeito! Quarto maravilhoso, ótimo tamanho, equipe super atenciosa, empáticos... viajar com uma pessoa que tem claustrofobia não é fácil, principalmente no Japão onde muitas escadas de incêndio não podem ser acessadas, mas a equipe do Hotel AO Kanazawa, liberava a escada para minha esposa e subiam com ela. Foi um cuidado que não esperávamos receber mesmo. Quarto super limpo e confortável, TOTO washlet de última geração, a favorita da viagem kkkk além de ótima localização. Recomendo demais!

Cons:

Nada, tudo perfeito.

Pros:

サウナ付きのお部屋が最高でした。お部屋のミニバーに入っていたワインもシードルも美味しくいただきました。
朝食は和食をいただきましたが、酢重のレストランと同じレベルでとても美味しかったです。
金沢観光の拠点にするのは最高のローケーションですが、その分窓から見える景色は（兼六園は見えますが)大通りです。ただ、車の音は別に気にならなかったです。アメニティの香りもとてもよかったです。

Hotel AO is a great property if you plan to take in the sites of Kanazawa!
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel AO Kanazawa. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The bathrooms were also very nice and spacious. Very happy with the housekeeping schedule. We did not need a daily cleaning, but very much appreciated the clean set of towels each day, as well as the water.

Your location also is great. We were able to get around to most destinations in the city by walking, which we enjoyed. Overall, we had a very nice experience in Kanazawa and would like to visit again.

Cons:

The only thing we missed at your property would be on onsen. However, we did appreciate the pajamas, slippers and all the other Japanese amenities, which made us feel very comfortable.

Thank you!
