Kanazawa Hakuchoro Hotel Sanraku

Well located hotel in Kanazawa, at walking distance from all interesting touristic sites. Underground parking, which is convenient. Very friendly, somewhat formal, welcome at the reception. Room was not very big but offered all the necessary comfort. Breakfast was very extensive, with mostly typical Japanese dishes, but also a corner with some western options. One evening, we also had dinner in the restaurant, which was very good. The onsen however, was not the nicest I have seen on this trip.

Booked at short notice because of the location and in-house onsen and had a wonderful stay. Staff were very attentive and kindly helped me book restaurant and massage reservations with the help of a little google translate. They also let me switch from a Japanese style room to western style room. Well appointed comfortable room. Very clean and immaculate room service. A fantastic stay and I look forward to visiting again next time I’m in Japan.

We received a very warm welcome at the Sanraku Hotel. The lady was very thorough explaining everything to us and offered to help us take our bags to our room. The room itself was lovely quite spacious with everything you would expect. The hotel is also very generous with the complementary waters, teas and coffees. Breakfast is very well organised with lots of choices. There is a lovely bar and restaurant serving great food and drinks.

We really liked this hotel. Just a short taxi ride from the main station and great place for exploring Kenrokuen and other Kanazawa attractions. Mainly local tourists which gave it a different feel to some of the city centre hotels we stopped in. Breakfast were excellent with a very wide range of dishes. Lovely onsen which was perfect for some relaxation after a busy day around Kanazawa.

This hotel is utterly amazing. The location is very close to the Kenroku-en and to the Kanazawa castle, and it is a few minutes walk to the shopping streets and the Samurai mansions. The hall is beautiful, with a classy, elegant, classic feel to it. The rooms are large, beautifully furnished, with wifi, air conditioning, a large bathtub and comfortable beds. Complimentary water and tea are available, as well as stationery. The whole place as an air of sophistication and elegance, as well as a feel of old glory that still feels actual. The hotel has the same amenities one would expect from a 4 star hotel, but it has a much more high class feel to it, from the elegant rooms to the gold leaf glasses to the sliding window panels and brocade curtains. Even the fact you still have an old style key to access your room rather than the anonymous-looking keycards plays on the sophisticated, classic elegance of this hotel. The service is impeccable, with the staff handling your luggage with the utmost care, going beyond the already amazing japanese hospitality. The hotel also features a small onsen which is fed by a local mineral hot spring, as well as live music in the early evening. Probably the best hotel I had the pleasure of staying at. Unfortunately I had just one night planned, but I surely hope I'll be a guest once more.

I didn't care much for this hotel, but primarily as a matter of my personal style. It is an older, formal, ex-4 star type of place. A bit stiff for me. This company has a brand new, much nicer place nearby without the onsen at the same prices. The clientele appears to be mostly very old and dignified Japanese folks. The onsen is quite warm but tiny and not particularly memorable.

Solo traveller with a japanese style room for 2 nights. It was great, every Amenity you can expect from a japanese hotel, and excellent service. They were great, after checkout I forgot something important in the room, realislzing after getting to the kanazawa station to leave... I was able to get help to call the hotel and they agreed to send it to one of the hotels I was staying in in the next leg of my trip... so nice, they took care of me, truely

Excellent location and value! Right next to the castle and Kenroku-en, the hotel couldn't be better situated for seeing the sights of Kanazawa. Really unique style and rooms. We booked a junior suite, which due to the layout with the divider in the middle wasn't as spacious or practical as we were expecting, but for the value we got it for, no complaints at all (we're only two people, so in future would probably not have booked a junior suite again). For a one or two night stay to see the sights of Kanazawa, this hotel is perfect.
