ANA Holiday Inn Kanazawa Sky

Very elegant hotel close to the station (10 min walk max), opposite to the lost famous market and just 15min walking distance from the more traditional and touristic spots. The personnel is very kind and helpful. Breakfast is very good, with a lot of choice and the chef can make fresh omelets for you. Rooms are small (but like in any hotel in Japan) but clean and overall the price you pay is worth for the location, ambiance and food. A mall is just downstairs with interesting shops and bookstores. A taxi to the station costs 800-900 yen (5 euros/dollars). I do recommend this place if you stay in town!

Fabulous for an aged establishment. Throughout my stay, the staff consistently demonstrated attentiveness and efficiency, making me feel truly valued as a returning guest. A special mention goes to the dining room wait staff during breakfast—they were exceptionally attentive and efficient, ensuring a pleasant and smooth dining experience every morning. Their warm and professional service set a positive tone for the day. Overall, the hotel’s commitment to quality service and loyalty recognition made my stay very enjoyable and comfortable.

We made a late decision to visit Kanazawa due to bad weather in another area we were planning to visit, so we were pleasantly surprised to find availability at this centrally located hotel for a good price. We booked a castle view suite and it was so spacious with an entrance lobby, separate toilet and bathroom, lounge area, wardrobe and 2 x single beds. We had plenty of space for luggage and relaxing. The room is a little older in style but kept in great condition. We had breakfast included in our rate and the buffet was exceptional. But the views over the castle and city from the breakfast room was breathtaking. All staff were very professional and delivered a high quality of service. The location is about a 15 minute walk from the station, directly opposite the Omachi market, about a 10 minute walk to Kanazawa Castle, a 10 minute walk to the Higashi Chaya district. There are buses in all directions and to all the main sights very close to the hotel entrance. NOTE: The hotel entrance on the street is just a lobby leading to an elevator, which you take to the 16th floor for reception.

This Holiday Inn is perfectly located opposite the wet market and on top of a well equipped mall. The reception area is airy, smells great and has a welcoming layout. ||We booked a twin standard room which was pretty much out of date and in need of a thorough touch-up. The curtains didn’t fully close, the bathroom really small and had a plastic feeling. The beds were very comfortable though.||The absolute 100% downside of this hotel is that the airconditioning is not functioning properly. We were told that - as it rained outside - only outside air is blown in (without being cooled). Believe me: the air outside was way cooler that the temperature of our room. A real nuisance if you want to get a good night sleep.||I won’t complain too much though as we only paid €52 per night.

Room size it was ok, but not kidfriendly. Coz they dont have pajamas for kids. The hotel connected to the mall. Walk to Kanazawa station about 900m , so its like 15-20 minutes walk. The breakfast selection not many and not that good. But since its hard to find breakfast place in Japan yaa no choice

Opted to stay at the Holiday Inn in Kanazawa due to exceptional value and had a good stay for 5-nights. Staff were all very lovely throughout, including Aiko and Koromoya at front desk. Modest upgrade with status was appreciated. Breakfast was very good with a solid selection of delicious local food. The location is better is a little than the CP down the road, as the HI is next to the Omichiyo Markets and quite walkable to the amazing Kenroku-en gardens. Note that the airport limousine bus from Komatsu Airport can drop you off near the hotel, so there may not be any need to walk from Kanazawa Station. But double check when heading back because some airport buses start at Kanazawa Station and don't stop here. Another nice feature was that the hotel being directly connected to the M'za shopping mall (take the elevator to level 3 or B), where you can restaurants and a supermarket. Downsides are probably that the hotel is getting on a bit and the old AC unit was a bit loud at night. But given the value proposition, these were reasonable compromises for me. Would happily stay here again when I come back.

I don’t understand how it is branded Holiday Inn. Or maybe it was just our TWO rooms on the 13th floor???? Maybe we were somehow targeted? Okay… the good things first. Location is accross Omicho and bus stops. It is also connected to M’za shopping mall with a very decent food hall at B1 and Starbucks on street level. It is also priced errr… relatively competitively, relative being the operative word here. I don’t know if SE Asia has exceptionally good Holiday Inns or whether this one in Kanazawa is the exception. First of all, there is no central heating. They give you that small portable heater you grow up with in Uni dorms which, for us just does not cut it for early spring when it hovers under 10°C. The bedside lamp was broken, there was hair in the bathtub (2 short ones, and 1 longr one), and stains on the err… less than white robes. The wallpaper was dilapidated with traces of grey (water? Mold?). The staff spoke very limited English. Upon checking out at 7.30 in the morning, there was no staff. We had to search for one before someone in the breakfast area sourced a colleague 10 minutes later. We barely made it to the bus station for our bus. We rarely leave less than stellar reviews, but this time, we think warning would be travellers could probably be useful in adjusting expectations so the shock won’t hit as hard.

I stayed in the Holiday Inn Kanazawa for total 4 days during my Hokuriku winter trip. Location: The HI Kanazawa is in the heart location of this city , and u could reach the main tourist attractions within 20 mins by walk. And the JR station is also close to the hotel. Room: The decoration of the room is classical and you could find some Kanazawa elements — Gold in the room .The bed and pillow are comfortable and the bed sheet is clean. Food: The view of Kenroku is marvelous . You could enjoy the delicious food in the 16th floor. It is not easy to find a high building in the city of Kanazawa. The staffs are warm, friendly and professional . Thank you for Holiday Inn Kanazawa bringing me a wonderful experience in Hokuriku. Especially, thank you Miss Miyano in the reception arrange the nice room for me .

* Reasonable, recently renovated, and centrally located * The location of this hotel right across the street from the Omi-cho market made it an easy walk all around town. Apparently the hotel was recently renovated, and for a business hotel they did a nice job. Got upgraded to a "Japanese style suite" which had a slightly elevated floor, fake wood flooring, a small couch, a typical Japanese deep bath, a separate sink room, and a separate toilet room with a modern washlet toilet with remote control. The room was spotlessly clean, and felt quite comfortable with one exception - there is no temperature control in the room. All heating is controlled centrally and they keep it VERY hot. Unfortunately the windows don't open either, so be prepared for a hot space if you don't deal with that well. Found that leaving the door to the deep bath room open, which had a window you could look out from right by the bath, somehow cooled the room as the bath room was cooler. Once that door was left open the room was quite comfortable. :) The room had nice simple decorations, which were a nice touch for a business hotel.
