Free laundry room with liquid detergent.
Breakfast buffet was excellent quality with Japanese and Western choices.

A newly built hotel just a few minutes by car from the centre (with a complementary and regular shuttle to the station). Excellent and spacious rooms, very welcoming staff, spotlessly clean, wonderful onsen facility and very wide and good choice for breakfast. Good value and lovely design. Highly recommend. Does not have in house lunch/dinner restaurant but plenty in town and some local ones nearby.

We took advantage of the shuttle transport from Kanazawa Station, which was just the begining of the many services this lovely hotel offers guests. Upon arrival we were greeted and our check in was processed in a very personal and welcoming manner, making us feel special and valued.

The hotel has an absolutely beautiful interior featuring muted colours, subtle lighting, a peaceful courtyard garden, restful public areas overlooking a lovely peripheral traditional Japanese garden, extensive artwork displays, reading areas on every floor and a rooftop area for contemplation.

Our room was arranged for maximum use of space and serenity, with wonderfully thoughtful features to enhance our feelings of cleanliness and comfort.

In our many years of travel, my husband and I have never before stayed in such a truly lovely and restful environment - our stay at the Kanazawa Sainoniwa Hotel will be remembered as a highlight of our first trip to Japan.

A GREAT place to stay In Kanazawa. The location is not easily walkable, so we either took a taxi or walked to a nearby bus station to get around, but everything else about this hotel was close to perfect and well worth the minor inconvenience of location. The hotel itself is uniquely beautiful in a modern way, everything is orderly and spotless. The room feature both traditional mat floors and futons, or beds with mattresses (all in the same room). The public baths are very spacious and clean (men vs women), and the breakfast is outstanding. 90% of the guests are comfortable walking around in their kimono/robes, and 90% are Japanese/asian. Truly feels like a place that caters to Japanese, but also very accommodating to westerners, so definitely stay here if you want a great Japanese experience, and did I mention the room rates are very competitive, if not on the low side.

It is a little ways from the main touring areas but the hotel provides shuttle service to the train station so was no problems. The shuttle driver actually took our luggage to the hotel so that we can tour around before going the hotel to check in which made our first day go very smoothly. All in all, we had a wonder stay!

Incredible hotel in incredible Kanazawa

This hotel is just freaking fantastic. That's all you really need to know.

But, to write more, everything about the Sainoniwa is wonderful. The staff is exceptionally detailed oriented and helpful. They think of everything. The hotel is new and beautiful.

The only quibble is the location in Kanazawa. It's not quite near the center of town. But, it's absolutely worth it, and the hotel runs a shuttle twice an hour.

I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Kanazawa.

It’s not possible that in a “new hotel”the air conditioner doesn’t work, cause you only have the option of warm or cold and hotel choose it for you, even your room in the day is a Sauna.

The hotel really provides great facilities, breakfast, quiet onsen and more importantly, service and care. I stayed with my family (2 kids) and would certainly return. Location is a bit off, nonetheless, it is offset by all the qualities. It will cost you around JPY1,500 to go to the main tourist attractions. Shittle bus takes you to Kanazawa station.

Best of all breakfast was excellent but it may be little too fishy (grilled fish served from morning which is common for Japanese) for forgin visitor who has less traveling experience in Japan.
