Hotel Forza Kanazawa
Perfect for what we needed. Clean and the staff were great. Coin laundry on the second floor was a bonus. Great location to many food opportunities.

We were lucky enough to have the private hot tub, and it had a view of the city, which was lovely. The staff spoke English. The grounds were very clean. The room was clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was close enough to everything.

Hotel INTERGATE KANAZAWA
Central location in Kanazawa for easy access (via bus) to most places you want to see. Recommend taxi for visiting the garden (Kenrokuen) and Castle (note, castle is reconstructed, so it is up to you if you want to see it). Hotel room was about average size and nicely laid out.

Hotel Nikko Kanazawa
Excellent location, a short distance from the train station. The dining room is in poor condition and the atmosphere is not inviting. Very small selection and poor quality of food.
