Kanazawa Manten Hotel Ekimae

I really enjoyed my stay at this property. The cleanliness stood out right away, and its convenience was a big plus—it’s located close to the JR train station, which also has a bus station for exploring the rest of Ishikawa. For travelers with early check-ins or late check-outs, they offer lockers to store luggage, which is helpful. As a solo traveler, my favorite part of the facility was the onsen—such a relaxing feature after a day of exploring. The breakfast was also a highlight, with a lovely view of the garden. The rooms are small, but that wasn’t an issue for me since I was traveling light without a large suitcase. Another useful amenity was the coin laundry, making it convenient for longer stays. Overall, it was a great experience!

The hotel is very close to the main station but you can't really hear the train so it's nice. The employee are really kind. The elevator is quick and the bed are really confortable. I recommend if you're traveling alone as a girl as it feels very safe. The onsen are also very enjoyable. They have also free locker you can use for your luggage.

It's only 5 mins walk from Kanazawa station exit west. The room is clean and comfortable. They have one of the best pillows I have ever had in Japanese hotels. The public bath is also very good, with a small outdoor bath area which is nice.

About 7 minutes from the train station, as well as the main buses to travel in and outside of Kanazawa (e.g the bus to Shirakawa-go). Staff are nice and helpful. The hotel is pretty big and overall everything is nice and clean. Shared bath is great, very spacious and open at very convenient hours, and even at very early/late hours. Bedroom is in a decent size for one person. Bed was comfy. Wi-Fi worked well :) A few coin laundry machines and dryers at the hotel, they provide free detergent for you to use.

The public bath / sauna is the star of the show with this hotel. The outdoor bath is comfy and peaceful. The sauna rotates herbal scents between lavender and peppermint. Going to take a bath was my favorite part of the day. The room is slightly large for a business hotel of this type. The toilet/shower unit is pretty average - all the more reason to go down to the bath. The bed was large and comfortable. I used the desk as a work area, and it was find for straightforward business needs. The hotel is a short walk away from the train station, maybe five minutes. This makes it convenient to getting around the city of Kanazawa, as well as the general Hokuriku area.
