Pros:

Simply a spectacular place to stay in Kanazawa. It's very small, maybe five rooms, but the rooms we stayed in were quite spacious and perfectly designed. All the lovely small touches you'd expect at a high-quality Japanese hotel (welcome gift, toiletries, yukata), comfy beds, and a truly powerful shower. The one man on staff was a delight and was very happy to give us suggestions on where to go and what to do, and spoke perfect English.

Best of all, for the price we paid, this was a great deal. In Tokyo or Kyoto these rooms would easily be twice the price if not more. Easy walking distance from the train, and to the main sights as well. Highly recommend.

Mycket bra
Pros:

Frukost serverades inte men 2 minuter bort låg ett litet café, Angela, där man kunde äta frukost, mycket trevligt litet cafe/restaurang

Cons:

Inget, det var ett mycket trevligt litet hotell 10 minuters gångväg från stationen i ett långt område vid floden. Tog 15 minuter att gå längst floden till geisha distriktet

Exquisite property and handy set up. Felt slightly away from the action for us but that could be a good thing for others
Pros:

Absolutely beautifully designed and spacious. Handy laundry and bathroom turns into dry room

Cons:

A bit faraway from everything. Staff are not on property so they feel a little remote but didn’t really matter

Excellent
Pros:

The quiet, clean room and excellent location. The owner gentleman was friendly and informative about the area.

Cons:

There were a number of restaurants recommended but they generally seemed to be ‘reservation only’. It would have been helpful to have had more information about this and how to reserve a table. However we did eat at Sasami 333 one night which was excellent.

Pros:

Le propriétaire est une personne adorable. Nous sommes arrivés avec un peu d'avance, car je n'avais pas fait attention à ses emails, et il nous a reçu malgré tout. Nous avons été très bien traités. Un anglais parfait de surcroît.

Fantastico
Pros:

Io e mio marito abbiamo soggiornato in questo hotel a fine ottobre. Abbiamo apprezzato tutto: la posizione comoda a piedi rispetto alla stazione e rispetto alla parte centrale del paese (non abbiamo adoperato mezzi a parte un taxi la seconda sera per rientrare, ma costano talmente poco che ne valeva la pena); le camere tradizionali molto grandi ed accoglienti, soprattutto ben caratterizzate, arredate ed estremamente pulite. Rispetto ad altri ryokan l’abbiamo trovata molto ben personalizzata e d’impatto. Letti molto comodi. Il proprietario ci ha accolti in modo estremamente cordiale e disponibile, ci ha aiutati a portare in camera le valige, ci ha spiegato nel dettaglio come funzionasse ogni singolo elemento tecnologico della camera permettendoci di adoperare ogni cosa senza problemi, dalla vasca da bagno alla lavatrice-asciugatrice. È stato talmente disponibile che ci ha aiutati ad integrare il nostro itinerario di Kanazawa con tante altre chicche sulla città che solo un residente può sapere. Parlava perfettamente in inglese e per qualsiasi cosa si è dimostrato molto attento e preciso. Se tornassi a Kanazawa soggiornerei senza alcun indugio nuovamente in questo ryokan.

Cons:

Assolutamente nulla di negativo.

A hidden gem in Kanazawa
Pros:

A hidden gem ! My husband and I completely fell in love with this hotel. It's a perfect mix of the beauty and the charm of the traditional Japan with the high-tech and the comfort of the modern Japan. All little details were perfect too.
The owner is so friendly and professional ! We stayed here only two nights, but we were feeling just like home.
We will definitely come back here, and for a longer stay next time.

Cons:

Nothing ! All was perfect !

Pros:

The room has a great vibe because of the classy decor with modern esthetics of a Ryokan. Love the reception, very inviting and the manager is quite helpful of our needs. We went to restaurants that's recommended on the booklet , both turned out exceptional! Kanazawa is truly a gem especially the Garden.

Cons:

A bit pricey compares to other places we stayed in considering there's no breakfast included but really didn't not bother as much. The beautiful and quaint town made up for it!

L’établissement est, conformément aux photos, très beau, moderne et bien équipé. Mais le meilleur reste ce qui ne se voit pas en photo : l’accueil, la gentillesse du gérant, et l’expérience !

Beautiful property with spacious room! The host/staff was incredibly nice and helped us a lot with luggage transfer and tips! We were also lent an umbrella to go out, and generally had a great time.
