美術館で行うイベントの打ち合わせがあるため近くて便利でした。
Pros:

宿泊日前日に予約したので朝食は予約できませんでした。
食材の準備の都合があるのかもしれません。
三段重の朝食、次の時は是非いただきたいと思います。

It’s OK!
Pros:

Location and the room.

Cons:

They should train the staff/front office to know more about the city and the activities. Also, provide them with a personal translation device like in train station. Communication is a big minus

Pros:

We had a really great stay at First Hotel Kanazawa ✨
The room standard was honestly very high — everything was spotless, elegant, and felt really premium. The whole hotel had a very classy atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming throughout our stay.
The location was also great for exploring Kanazawa. It’s around 25 minutes from the main station, so a little farther out, but much closer to the old town and the main attractions, which actually made sightseeing and evening walks much more enjoyable.
The area around the hotel was beautiful at night and perfect for relaxing walks after a full day of exploring.
Overall, we definitely recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a more upscale and comfortable stay in Kanazawa 🇯🇵👌
