Kanazawa Manten Hotel Ekimae

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.

I had a really good time there! The most attractive advantage of this hotel is its onsen. I have been sleeping in few hotels with access to onsen, but this one was the best! Also I loved the common room with tivi, where you could relax and had some drinks from automat. The price was affordable. Hotel is located close to the railway and bust station. However it was quite far to the city center but we were going on foot in Kanazawa

Great location. 6 min walk to Kanazawa station. This was extremely helpful when we were running late for our shinkansen reservations. Check out was as simple as dropping off the keys in a box and walking away. Hotel facilities were very clean and neat. Staff was helpful with luggage drop off and checking in/out. Hotel was decorated nicely with large windows that showed the green gardens outside. Pajamas and slippers were provided to wear during our stay at the hotel. Toiletries provided in baskets at the front desk. The public onsen was great! Lockers were provided to keep your stuff, instructions were provided for new users, and there were indoor and outside onsens for both men and women. The men's side was quite crowded. I went at 530 AM and there were already 10 other men there, with more incoming. Everyone kept to themselves and got in and out. My wife says the women's side was the opposite and it was nice and quiet so she enjoyed it quite a bit. The Japanese breakfast was mediocre. Western breakfast was better. I'm glad they offered the choice though. Overall, 10/10 would stay again even with the small double rooms.

Free luggage storage before check-in. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. The public bath was large and clean, there are also an outdoor tub and a sauna. Coin laundry with 4 washing machines and 4 dryers. The room was not large, but it was very clean and there were all the amenities. You can choose between western or japanese style breakfast. The hotels is a 5-minutes walk from JR Kanazawa station.

The staff at this hotel were so accommodating although we seemed the only foreigners. They were kind and helped us with checkin , extra blankets and an iron. It’s so close to the station, had two huge singles pushed together and the room was large for Japan. Public bath was also an added bonus. Highly recommend.
