KUMU Kanazawa by THE SHARE HOTELS

Stayed here for 3 nights as part of travelling around Japan||Staff were very friendly and spoke good English ||Good location (in between the main station and ‘town’)||Rooms were comfortable. Had laundry service and tea rooms around the hotel. ||It’s also the best smelling hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Various incense lit around the place. Wonderful

Here's a glowing review: "I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. The rooms were clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities I needed. The location was perfect for exploring the city. What truly set this hotel apart, however, was the exceptional service. The workers were friendly, attentive, and always willing to lend a helping hand. They made sure I had everything I needed and even offered valuable recommendations for local attractions. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming place to stay. The kindness and helpfulness of the staff made my stay truly unforgettable

Very central to all important sights. Very nice Japanese style room. Only a very limited choice for breakfast. Try to get a quiet room away from the street if you are sensitive to noise.

Great design and very nice concept. The rooms are very very noisy. Each car passing by (and there are many) is “driving through the room”. It ruins the entire experience. Very unfortunate.

Well located in the city center & everything within reach. Very helpful and friendly service. We felt very welcomed. Spacious junior suite to relax after a day of exploration within this beautiful city (you need to explore the hidden gems). 😉🙏🚀

Highly recommended we stayed here for 3days it was such a beautiful place, very clean wonderful staff, even hiring the bikes there was easy and the staff greeted us everyday, felt valued here I definately will be back to stay in this hotel probably stay longer too. Really liked our room.

This hotel is everything a hotel should be, and more. I stayed for a week and loved it from beginning to end.|Firstly very friendly, helpful and professional staff. Thank you!|Secondly great design and an excellent vibe/feel.|Thirdly great amenities - bicycles for hire, onsight laundry, great spaces on the 3rd and 5th floors to hang out and a delightful breakfast area/coffee-tearoom.|Fourthly the rooms are spacious and offer everything you need. Maybe the only complaint is the lack of daylight, but it didn't trouble me.|Fifth and lastly, an excellent location.|I will definitely return. Thank you Kumu - domo arigatogozaimasu!

Absolute amazing experience, like always with THE SHARE HOTELS. Loved my stay in Kanazawa, and sleeping here just made it so relaxing. The hotel is full of art. The amenities are super high quality, and actually, some of them have insane design ( that laundry room? WOW ) . The room was so good, with a little tea drinking area. The toilet + bath allowed me to relax and unwind after a day of walking. But the showstopper of this specific hotel has to be that cafe in the lobby. OMG. You just have to see it. That wood substructure that flows along the whole ground floor looks like something that Kengo Kuma would have done. It's just amazing. 10/10

I really enjoyed this hotel, I'd say it was one of the best I've ever stayed at! The rooms are comfortable, modern, and have enough space. I also really enjoyed that the shower, toilet, and sink are all in separate rooms, making using the room as a group more convenient because (for instance) one person can take a shower while another person uses the toilet without needing to share the same room. As with most hotels in Japan, slippers, shampoo, and conditioner are all provided, which is also quite convenient for anyone travelling light. The tea tables on the third and fifth floors were quite nice, and provided a good place to read or play a game of cards, and the lobby has a cafe and seating area that is also a nice place to hang out. The laundry machines were easy to use (even without reading Japanese) and were 400¥ for washing and 100¥ for every 30 minutes of drying. Detergent is provided and automatically used by the washing machine. There was also a vending machine and some recycling bins next to the laundry room area. The main lobby door is locked after midnight, but there is a door to the side that opens with a room key after then, so don't worry about staying out late! The only downside I really had about the hotel was that the wifi was relatively slow, but that might have just been our room's location in the hotel? It was reliable enough at least, so that was ok, just could have been a little better. Still, would give this hotel an easy five stars.

New budget hotel located in Central area of Kanazawa, close to main attractions and 5 min by bus from the train station. Converted from a former office building, the hotel strikes a very good balance between price, design and amenities. Overall design is very good, amenities are basic but enough and well thought. Atmosphere is modern and light. Besides a tea/coffee area, it has also tea tables every other floor, laundry area, meeting room and roof top terrace. Rooms are simple and quite comfortable. Perfect hotel for travelers that spend little time at the hotel but want a nice, well thought space to comeback to after walking the city. Other extras: free wifi, rental bike service, buffet breakfast, yoga classes, tea service. The same hotel chain has other 4 in other towns in Japan. Will try to explore them all.
