Mitsui Garden Hotel Kanazawa

Very comfortable stay. Rooms are a good size and clean. Check in service was excellent and breakfast was plentiful, varied and catered to all tastes. Location was great! Only 15 minute walk to Kanazawa station. Bus stop was at the door and very close to the gardens.

Mitsui Garden definitely exceeded our expectations. Wonderful morning buffet with tons of well made, carefully crafted japanese selection. Our experience from check in to departure was perfect. We even got upgraded to a king room, possibly because we joined as members? The rooftop onsen was heavenly. The room was spacious with a proper closet and lots of open space to open your luggage and walk around. We had street view and did not hear any street noise. Centrally located and a few short blocks away from the Omiya market. Walking distance to the castle, Geisha district and Samurai district. Take a taxi ($10 - 13) from the train station, rather than the bus or unenjoyable walkk. The service and japanese hospitality was top notch. Lots of bowing and greetings, really felt like honoured guests. There was even a dedicated elevator person to press the button and bowing as you enter, wow! Will definitely return to the Mitsui brand based on this delightful experience along. Thank you for a wonderful stay and allowing us to enjoy Kanazawa comfortably.

A wonderful time, a great location to all areas of sightseeing of Kanazawa. Relaxing as well as hospitality was awesome. The room size is really good, onsen outstanding and relaxing. The in hotel restaurant food was amazing both for taste and amount. You did not leave without feeling full. Should be a five star hotel and restaurant. We will stay with this hotel chain again in the future.

Great location for seeing the best of the city. We drove in and needed to park directly in back of the hotel to check in and drop off bags. The baths were clean and pleasant with a nice view towards the castle. The staff was kind and helpful with reserving a restaurant for four of us on short notice. But being close to the big market also gave us many wonderful food choices, too. I would definitely come back here my next time in Kanazawa.

This hotel is pure magic! We had a nice room with a view, and felt well taken care of from arrival to our leaving. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, so we slept like babies throughout our stay! The location is also top-notch, which means close to any attraction such as shrines or the park. The onsen was so relaxing. Only drawback was the single-ply toilet papers, and this says a lot ;)!

This became my favourite hotel in Kanazawa quite a while ago and it's always a pleasure to return. The staff, as always, were very nice and helpful. I had a twin room this time rather than one with a queen-sized bed. It was well-designed and had a pretty good amount of space. The bed I chose was very comfortable and there was a choice of pillows. The highlight of the room was the beautiful washi paper collage above the beds. There was a small table with two easy chairs - with attractive patterned cushions - which could be used as a desk. Nice touches were a glowing wall lamp near the tv and a ceramic artwork by the door. My wheeled suitcase fitted in the lobby. The air conditioning was adjustable and the wifi was good. The area behind the entrance and the wardrobe shelf where the safe was located were rather dark - it was hard to see the different door magnets (do not disturb etc) properly. ||With the different-sized room, I had a different view - it included more of a little park with cherry trees blossoming as well as the quite interesting street view. The hotel is in an excellent location, within walking distance of the castle and Kenrokuen among many other sights and museums, with lots of shops and eateries within easy reach. Omicho Market is not far either. It's a longer walk but quite possible to Higashi Chaya/Kazuemachi, or the JR Station. Or, there's a bus stop across the road.||It's great to have access to a washing machine and dryer (on the top floor near the onsen), and my bathroom had a retractable clothes line too. The bathroom also had a decent amount of space. There was a nice deep, long bath. Toiletries were available downstairs in the lobby. PJs and in-house slippers were provided. ||As usual there was a great range of delicious breakfast choices (particularly the Japanese ones) presented in beautiful little ceramic bowls or plates, with lovely serving bowls and cups too. I always much enjoy the local speciality "jibuni", a chicken or duck soup, but everything was good.||See you next time!

Beautiful hotel, near the Kanazawa Market and main street. Rooms are comfortable and big enough. Staff is really friendly and helpful. A little on the pricier side but a solid recommendation if you are I kanazawa for a few days. Would recommend.

We reserved a room with 3 beds and the hotel did not let us down. Everything in the room was prepared for 3 and I was impressed to the level of detail they addressed this. When was the last time the bathroom even had more than 1 hook for the towel? This room had 3 like it should! Considering Japan, the room was spacious enough with sufficient room to move around at the vanity. The breakfast buffet was delicious with variety of food. The location was convenient being a walking distance (20 mins) to Kanazawa train station with many stores along the way. Omicho Market is not even 10-min walk. We also walked to Higashiyama area (25 mins), Kanazawa Castle Park/Kenrokuen (15 mins). The staff were very helpful including any requests we made like ordering taxi.
