Kanazawa Sainoniwa Hotel

The staff were very friendly and helpful. There are many facilities including laundry room, lounge area (with tea and coffee provided), massage chairs and public spa bath; all of which do not require extra charges). The breakfast was delicious and had many food varieties to choose from.Although the location is not close to any public transport, the hotel offers free shuttle bus to and from the Kanazawa station every 30 minutes. This is very convenient.

Don't be fooled by the price - from the spacious room to the excellent service to the delicious breakfast, everything from this hotel is top notch. Shuttle service is available from the station and parking is provided. Would definitely recommend.

Just had a magical (snow filled) 3 days in Kanazawa at this incredible hotel. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, very helpful to any queries and in the middle of the snow storm - they made sure we were comfortable and safe. The breakfast is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Everything was so fresh and the service was a lot better than many other places I’ve stayed in Japan, and that’s hard to top because Japanese service is top notch. Be sure to check out the travel bus tours the hotel offers too. Cannot beat local knowledge and tours. Highly recommended! You will not be disappointed.

This was an absolutely fantastic hotel to stay in Kanazawa. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by staff waiting outside for us in the pouring rain (!)… this really set the tone for our whole stay. The service provided was fantastic, the room was large and comfortable, we adored the spa with its onsen and massage chairs (did I mention the free popsicles?), and the breakfast was simply fantastic- there was an omelette bar, ice cream, fresh fish, pastries and so much more. And all this for a very reasonable price! The one thing I would say is that it is a bit out of the way of all the sightseeing locations, however since the hotel have a free shuttle bus to the main station (which I would advise to use) it isn’t a big inconvenience .

Very fancy and comfortable hotel. Everything is new and clean. Staffs are very nice and helpful. But same as other Japanese hotels and Onsen, this hotel is tattoo unfriendly hotel in public bath.

I loved this hotel! The rooms are lovely - (we had a separate living and sleeping area which is rare for Japan hotels!) , the staff were great, and the breakfast was impeccable! ||There is a convenient shuttle service to the station. Otherwise it’s a 20-30min walk, which we did do but would recommend the shuttle if you can.||There are also onsens available at the hotel, and the television in your room conveniently tells you how full the onsens are.||The WiFi worked well. There was a communal lounge area with tea and coffee. There was also a laundry room where you could do laundry for free. ||I would have liked to stay here longer, it was really nice!

This hotel is a gem, modern but infused with Japanese ambience of beauty and serenity. The rooms are very large for Japanese standards, luxuriously appointed with toiletries and comforts, and very quiet. The grounds are small, but everywhere you turn there is a lovely garden, courtyard, or reading nook. There is a great public bath from thermal springs. The staff are delightful. And on this my third trip to Japan i have to say this was the best breakfast EVER. The shuttle is extremely convenient and rubs frequently. One warning: no shuttle during lunch hours.||I will definitely return.

Our family of 5 visited Kanazawa for a few days and booked at the Saino Niwa Hotel based upon the strong online reviews. We were not disappoitned! We really enjoyed the friendly, professional service, the good size rooms, and the spectacular breakfast buffet. They also have a very helpful shuttle running constantly to and from the train station. The room was divided into two parts, the Japanese style living area with low seating and the bedroom and they provided "night pajamas and slippers" for all guests in the room, which were encouraged to be worn on the property premises. We enjoyed the experience! We had two rooms that were connecting, which made it very easy for a family! Not something we found alot of in Japan...and it was appreciated! The front desk was very efficient and helpful and they had our bags ready in our rooms when we arrived, having been sent there ahead of us. Only complaint is it is a bit far from the train station...and we walked there upon arrival which took about 15 minutes. However, the walk was easy and the property makes it worth it.
