Smelly and dirty

The hotel had dirty torn carpets in the hall with dubious brown stains. The lift had no proper illumination & was actually dark. The hotel smelt of curry/cigarettes as soon as you walked in. The room was supposed to be non-smoking but smelt strongly of stale tobacco. The window would not open and we found lots of dust and fluff on the furniture, also a hair grip on the carpet. There were books in the room containing essays on far right nationalism.

Comfortable enough stay and good location

Great location, comfortable enough, but the reception area, lift and corridors stank of food (like curry spices or something).
The staff were ok, but fairly uninterested in guests (didn't give off
A welcoming vibe).
Comfortable enough stay, but quite a dated building and feels a bit unloved. Breakfast buffet was nice enough, but would probably look elsewhere next time due to the comments above.

OK, but would benefit from renovations

There are other APA hotels in the area, which are more conveniently located and in better condition, but also more expensive. This one is cheaper, but the rooms feel and look old, and it's further away from the main shopping avenue. Having said that, if you're in good shape you can walk everywhere; I never took any public transport in Kanazawa. It is about a 25-30 minute walk from Kanazawa station, but it's very close to Myoryuji (the 'ninja' temple). Kanazawa Castle park and Kenrokuen are maybe 15 minutes away.

I still like the APA brand but...

I've stayed at several different APA Hotels in Japan before and have become fond of the brand. However, this APA just doesn't measure up. Maybe it's due to the hotel needing renovation, however the hallways leading to my room were stained and upon checking into my room, the shower bar that holds the shower curtain immediately fell off of the wall. Front desk staff was pleasant, however seemed to be a bit impatient with me.

Breakfast is provided, however you must pay for it and it's nothing to write home about. With that said, this APA hotel is in a good location being right in Katamachi which is the social/night life/shopping heart of Kanazawa if you are in the area for a stay. It is walking distance to 4 convenience stores and several late night ramen joints.

For hotel quality itself, I'd recommend the Kanzawa Station Ekimae APA Hotel however.

In a cheap hotel, you get what you pay for.

I've stayed in many business style hotels in Japan. While I got a great deal and a bed, the cleanliness of the rooms and facilities left much to be desired. I felt like I was back in my old college dorm. This is an old run down hotel; and if cheap is all you're looking for, this is your place!

Small but friendly. Very quiet.

I stayed here because it was cheap, and I liked their friendly ways, but I advise anyone thinking of staying here to factor in about 2200yen in taxi fares (round trip) as the hotel is a good three km from the JR and the loop bus (excellent tourist bus 200yen per ride or 500 for day pass) does not allow large luggage on board. The rooms are small but clean. I would stay there again if it was for several days, but not overnight as the extra taxi costs make it impractical.

OK place for short stay

The hotel is a bit old and the room is small, but it is pretty much along the lines of what you get at APA hotels. The staff were fine, and the place was clean and functional. There is breakfast included in the price; nothing special, but a good bonus. The location is also fine, but not ideal. About 3-5 mind walk from where the main area with stores and restaurants. It is easy to walk to many of the main sites, including Kenrokuen. It is worth staying there if one gets a good deal, otherwise there are probably a bit better options.

For Budget Travellers

We had two nights at this hotel but where to start ... We arrived to be told we could not book in until 3:00pm although they did offer to look after our luggage. We asked for a room with a view - we got the fourth floor room with a view over a main road and little else! During the first night we kept hearing subway trains directly under the hotel although we made some discoveries the next morning and found it was the lift that was the culprit. Its a hotel for business people and so it was busy, and noisy, all night. Of our 10 or so hotels this one had the smallest room. The location was not flash either. The greeting on our floor (4th) was a carpet that was in desperate need of replacement and was ripped and torn and like the hotel generally it was showing its age.
On the positive side our room was clean, the two single beds were quite comfortable and it was altogether cheap and cheerful. The staff were helpful and friendly and we liked the breakfast (although basic) that came as part of the deal. On balance we would give this hotel a qualified recommendation for those on a budget.

A Good Base for a Wonderful Place

The location was excellent. Away from the major hotels near the train station but close to the heart of the city's cultural attractions - the garden, the castle and the Museum of 21st Century Art. It was also close to an interesting warren of restaurants and bars (Tatemachi). Spent the evening in a cool jazz/live music bar called Mokkiriya. I recommend that experience.

The Hotel APA Kanazawa - basic at best

Located just off the main crossing near the Kitamachi district of Kanazawa, the hotel is at least near the 'nightlife' of the town. However, the room was pretty small and seemed fairly old. Staff seemed nervous around English-speakers and there was no sign of the public baths as shown in the pictures. Still, reasonably priced and all the room facilities to be expected.

The walls are practically paper thin, you can hear the person in the next room turning on the water in their bathroom from your room.
The guest in the next room kept banging their door very loudly repeatedly after 9 pm. It was scary as a single female traveller to think what type of violant or dangerous people come to stay at the hotel. Never came across a situation like this anywhere in Japan, especially at a hotel.
