Another great stay at an APA hotel - they consistently deliver great value, clean, comfortable accommodation with an onsen and this stay was not different. The room was great, the single size bed was perfect for me - I'm average to tall in height. The opening window helps with fresh air and the rooftop onsen (indoor and outdoor plus sauna) was large enough and never felt crowded. All toiletries are provided as well as slippers and a yukata (bath robe) that is great to wear up to the onsen. Breakfast was Japanese style (salad, curry, katsudon gyoza, miso) with some western offerings (sausages, scrambled eggs, fruit, yoghurt, cereal). Nothing in huge portions, which is fine for me. Located right in the heart of Korinbo / Kata Machi with a great little ramen joint next door and lots of wine/sake bars around. You can walk to most places from here or jump on the loop bus across the road.

Nothing not to like. For those who are looking for peace and quiet I would stay elsewhere, there was some street noise at night especially over the weekend but that didn't bother me. I see lots of reviewers commenting on the small size of the rooms at APA hotels and it makes me think it is their first visit to this country because that's just Japan! Particularly if you're staying in budget accommodation. There is so much to do in Kanazawa that you're really only sleeping in the room.

The location is amazing, close to everything. The room was comfortable and good size for a solo traveller. The icing on the cake was the onsen on the rooftop! You can see the city views while soaking in the perfect hot water.

Like all APA Hotels, I think it’s time they realised it’s common for foreigners to have tattoos and demanding us to wear those uncomfortable stickers to access the in house onsen is appalling. I understand a traditional Japanese place, that has been doing the same thing for hundreds of years, but a modern hotel chain? It’s 2025!

The price was reasonable even it was during a big event day; the hotel has hot spring just like other APA hotels and it is the reason why I selected to stay. The location is walkable (between 10 minutes to 30 minutes) to major tour destinations. Good to stay at a reliable hotel before joining a sport activity.

Needed to wait 20 minutes to check in although I understand that it was just before the big event; however, some other APA hotels have started to use self-check-in system but this hotel has not yet started. Disappointed to have no welcome drink as many other hotels in Japan have.

The location is exactly where I wanted to be, so that was a plus. It was clean and comfortable. Bed was nice. The room was definitely very small, but most rooms in Japan are small, so it didn't bother me as a solo traveller. I only use the hotel to sleep, so it was ok for me. I think besides that, it was good.

There was nothing I didn't like. Only thing I would say is that the reception staff didn't speak English, so communication wasn't great, but it didn't cause any issues. In fact, I think they were very cute trying to communicate effectively.

I was there during the 1/1 earthquake and I found the staff and hotel response very commendable. Information was regularly conveyed through the announcement system. Only a few messages were given in both English and Japanese however so if I only spoke English I would have probably been a bit more worried. Overall amenities were good- hotel breakfast was as well.

Parking capabilities were a little bit lacking in my opinion. I’m glad that there’s a local garage near the attached hotel garage that you can use if your car doesnt meet hotel garage requirements, but the need buy a parking voucher from the hotel counter, then to move and re-park your car at the end of your voucher time and go back to the counter to buy another ticket is a little bit annoying if you’re staying for several days.

Breakfast was great, room was clean, bed was comfortable, open air bath on the top of the building with look on night city lights while it rains was breath taking. The Hotel and Kanazawa took a special place in my memory, best day of my 14 day trip in Japan!

Bath does not have available towels, so you need to bring ones from your room, and i did not get informed about that, so it took me more of "forward and back" movements

The rooftop onsen, especially the open-air bath, is a wonderful way to relax after a long day walking around the town. Check-in was easy. Breakfast was decent and I'd recommend to go for - there are very few decent breakfast places in the vicinity and those which were open served pretty much the same for the same price.

Not a walking distance from the train station, but there is a bus stop nearby. Taxi is also not too expensive.

From the 31st of December to 2nd of January 2024 I stayed in this hotel. It was an unfortunate time, due to the Noto Peninsula Earthquake. All I can say is that the staff did an exceptionally good job of making feel us relaxed and safe. Especially Tsue-san helped me and my friend (both of us are foreigners) a lot. I am glad to meet him and the other staff in this hotel. My overall review is very positive, the breakfast was delicious and filling. The rooms were very clean. My room was a bit small but for one person, it was more than enough. The hotel is at the center and within walking distance of tourist attractions (castle, Kenroku-en, samurai district...) and lots of fun bars.

Very good location, surrounded by lots of restaurants, bars, and shopping areas, walkable to Kanazawa Castle, Kenrokuen, 21st Century Museum, and many other famous Kanazawa tourist spots.

Parking wasn`t available at the hotel itself. Instead I was directed to park at a nearby garage and then buy a parking voucher for either 16 or 24 hours from the front desk. It would have been nice not to have to take my car out, drive around the block, then park again just to get another voucher but overall it wasn`t really a hassle.

I absolutely loved the open air top floor onsen spa!! Locals have memberships, and I spoke with some other retired women while soaking in the lovely mineral bath! I was also able to treat myself to a Shiatsu massage💕 The room itself had wonderful amenities. I especially like the control panel that is located right next to the bed. Everything is efficient, clean, and lovely.
