A terrific experience through and through. Excellent, walkable location, close to the castle, Nagamachi, and Kenrokuen in additional to a profundity of shops, cafes and restaurants. The space was new, trendy and very impressively sized, with a clean and modern bathroom. Kanazawa listening bar was of course a treat to have in the lobby for any audiophile and in many ways made my stay. The staff were polite and attentive. Rachel was immensely knowledgeable, professional, and pre-emptively saved my intended trip to Shirakawa-Go from its impending doom. When I am in Kanazawa next, this will be my go-to hotel.
