First Hotel might have that name as it’s the first hotel you see near the Modern Art Museum, and near one of the Kenrokuen garden entrances. Location is excellent, overlooking the castle wall and on street that leads to shops and restaurants (about a 10 min walk). The hotel is new and the interior design of the room was excellent. Comfy beds with good linen. Bathroom was super nice, and it feels a step above your usual business hotel as the room is a bit larger and so were the twin beds. Checking in and out was easy, but there aren’t many staffs around. I had the breakfast which I thought was delicious, but it’s a set Japanese breakfast and perhaps not for those who want toast and bacon. You can do laundry in the hotel and there are drinks dispensing machines but there’s not a convini store nearby, so get your snacks in the shopping streets up the road. The hotel is in walking distance from many attractions. If I went to Kanazawa again, this is where I would stay.

The restaurant at the ground floor should definitely do more interesting food in the evenings - it doesn’t seem to be a priority to have a restaurant there, but they’re missing an opportunity here.

Upon arrival, the staff were quick to greet us. The lobby area was very welcoming with lots of seats. The twin room was above average sized. The bathroom was also very spacious. Everything is modern, sleek, and clean. The hotel and location were quiet, and our sleep wasn't disturbed at night or early morning by outside noise or other guests. The Japanese breakfast was a wonderful experience with lots of different foods to try, and it was beautifully presented.

Only trivial problems. We checked in at the reception desk and then had to check in using a machine. It was a little strange having to essentially check in twice. Bare in mind that I am a foreign resident living in Japan; I was asked for ID despite providing a Japanese address, phone number, and paying with a Japanese bank card. It's always a little frustrating being treated with suspicion even when I can provide all the same details as a Japanese national resident. The bathroom was beautiful, but the one downward light right above the mirror was not sufficient for a lady trying to get ready. Thankfully, the room's large windows and table placed in front of the window allowed for perfect natural lighting to apply makeup and style hair.

Good location- very handy to castle, gardens and shops. Modern and clean.

Had to get my own pillow as the four on my bed were like rocks! The cafe did not seem to be open for breakfast as advertised!

I loved the breakfast!! However a traditional American breakfast eater might struggle a bit because it was authentic Japanese and not eggs, bacon, toast and jelly. I love the fact the breakfast was very different on each of the three mornings.

The room was very small and the beds were extremely close together. But it was very clean, quiet and comfortable!!

Hotel very well located near the tourist centers of interest. Bus stop near. Modern, clean hotel with very pleasant staff.

Small room, with too much furniture, which does not allow you to open your suitcase anywhere. The hotel restaurant open to the hall, sends all the cooking smells back into the lobby which is not very pleasant when you enter the hotel.

Very nice location. Near several great buldings, parc and shops. All in walking distance.

Breakfast. There was no choice. At least thexy could offer three different types of breakfast and it could be easy and bring a lot more safisfaction.

The location was excellent, we could walk to everything we wanted to see. The room was very comfortable. It was very easy to get to the hotel using the bus

We were disappointed the restaurant was not open during our stay

The proximity to KenRokuEn was wonderful! The hotel was clean and the staff was helpful and polite. I would stay there again.
