The hotel staff were lovely and very accommodating. The room was spotless and we had a clean set of towels and nightwear for each day which was amazing. Those small touches really stand out when you have been travelling for 3 weeks already. The coffee from the cafe was probably the best I've had in Japan, great cappuccino. It was within walking distance to everything we wanted to see and had some brilliant eating spots close by.

Most of all, the staff are welcoming and friendly - so nice to arrive to the smell of homemade granola and roasted sesame seeds! It is rather quaint and interesting. It has a comfortable and nicely designed bar, just right for relaxing after a full day of walking.

I was a little nervous about booking Hotel Pacific Kanazawa but I'm so glad I did! Such a great little place that is different from the norm. The combined cafe/bar downstairs was great and had delicious drinks - definitely recommend the ginger drinks here! The room was reasonably spacious (in line with other hotels for this price point in Japan), clean and tidy. Staff were very friendly. Biggest benefit was the location, in a super convenient location to walk to so many great locations in Kanazawa and yet still managed to be tucked away on a quiet road.

One of my favourite hotels I've stayed at, really recommended.

3.5/5. The hotel is a bit Hipster.

The service was great. The staff was very friendly and able to help me have my luggage delivered to my next hotel in English. They also provide guides and recommendations.

The location is also good. Next to the famous market and close to transportation. It’s also within a 30 min walk of most of the popular places. They similarly rent bikes.

The room was big with a queen sized bed and relatively soft. Everything was clean. However, the bathroom was too small - my knees nearly touched the wall when I sat on toilet and I kept hitting the shower wall whenever I took a shower. For context, I am only 5’5 (165cm). They also do not provide toiletries as part of a sustainability effort (other than the body wash/shampoo/conditioner). They sell them for a low price, but the cotton pads were poor quality - I would recommend bringing your own. The WiFi isn’t great, my phone kept disconnecting. The tv does have Netflix. The walls are very thin. It is was not a big issue for me as far as sleeping, but I think it’s possible that I just got lucky and was surrounded by respectful neighbors. But it also made me subconscious about how much noise I might have been making when I was using the television. I didn't have a poor experience, but I would probably try a different place if I go back.

We ABSOLUTELY loved this hotel! From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed and well cared for. The room was clean and cute (not very big, but that’s standard in Japan).
A very kind lady at the reception helped me make a reservation at one of the tourist attractions (she actually used her personal phone - she didn’t have to and yet she did out of the kindness of her heart). We rented bikes from the hotel for a day which was a great decision since we could see much more in one day. Hotel is literally right next door to the fish market. Another bonus is cafe right in the lobby. Staff speaks excellent English - which we noticed is not standard in all hotels.
We highly recommend this hotel if you’re staying in Kanazawa. We will certainly be back.

What a lovely hotel and I hope to return again! The staff are so friendly and accommodating. Because the front desk also serves as a coffee shop there is always someone around if you have a question etc.

We had a big request - for the hotel to book a reservation on our behalf at a busy restaurant on a Saturday night. They called on our behalf, got a last minute table and called up to our room when the restaurant was ready to receive us.

There were little details about the hotel that really are memorable. The homemade ginger tea is delicious both on its own and as a cocktail. They provide comfortable pjs and toiletries like a toothbrush and toothpaste etc. bike rentals are affordable (¥200 for a couple hours and I think about 100 for each hour after) and first come first serve. Biking in Kanazawa was a trip highlight!

The room was spacious considering previous places we stayed in Japan. It had a firm bed - I’m a westerner and had great sleeps! The room and hotel is quiet too. Quiet Jazz music in the hallways and has mid century modern vibe. Very attractive furnishings.

Location: this hotel is steps from the market and a close walk to the castle gardens and geisha district. If you are travelling with the JR pass this includes two routes that go to the market from the train station. The hotel is a short bike ride to samurai district too. Lots of restaurants near by.
