The room was spacious, beautiful, and well equipped. The view of the river is stunning. The bedding and bath were very comfortable, and the utilities and amenities provided were convenient and greatly appreciated. The staff were all lovely, kind, efficient, and very helpful. I was advised to visit the 21st Century Museum as I was going to Kenroku-en Garden, and I'm glad I did, as it was very interesting! The breakfast was wonderful and fresh, with a great variety. I appreciate that ingredients/allergy information was clearly displayed, as I am a vegetarian.

The room was very spacious and clean. We also liked the breakfast that was made with locally sourced ingredients. Staff was friendly too and we really enjoyed the stay.

No cons!

This place felt like an authentic Japanese, tranquil paradise, especially after the bustle of bigger cities. The attention to detail really made this hotel stand out.

We loved our stay at Yuyaruru Sai Sai. The staff were lovely. We stayed in the Japanese style room which was very spacious and comfortable. There was a nice indoor onsen. The breakfast was really good - mostly Japanese style food but there were also some Western options (bread, yoghurt, eggs) if that’s not your thing. It’s located close to a bus stops that takes you through the circuit including all the best tourist sites - Kenrokuen garden, castle, Omicho market, Samurai district and teahouse districts. Can also be a reasonable walk in good weather. We got an uber from the station to the hotel, which wasn’t expensive. They have free parking as well.

A bit far from transit. Nothing they can really do about it, the roads there are fairly narrow. They can still arrange a taxi for you quite easily.

A fantastic property. The worst element is also its strength: it's a bit far from other places you may want to go. However, it's also right by the river, so you get a fantastic view from any room you book. Beyond having a solid breakfast and excellent rooms, what really stood out to me as a feature was the additional random items you can play around with. There's a shamisen by the front desk you can learn to play, there were juggling balls in the room to learn to juggle, and there were some lovely local sweets as a welcome gift.

Breakfast was good. The location is a little far from the Kanazawa station but it is walkable to many tourist spots.

It was absolutely wonderful! The building was on the river's edge with a walking path. The facility provided a well-rounded breakfast. There were umbrella's to borrow if it rained. The room was huge and it felt more like an apartment even though there wasn't a kitchen. A kettle with continuous hot water was in a corner with cups and tea. Every day there was a new treat on our main table. The bathroom was a 3 part area. We were instructed to wear slippers and not street shoes inside which was a super way to keep the floors clean (traditional thing). When we had to leave our next destination, the front desk called a taxi that appeared within minutes.

Small item, but for the cost and clientele the buffet breakfast could have been better for Western food.

Large tatami room on the river with very friendly staff. About a 10 minute walk to more urban area with restaurants.

Everything. The view of the river was inspiring. The rooms were mostly traditional with floor mats and a low table with cushion and back support chair on the floor. A two room delight with easy to use shower or bath. The hotpot for tea was always hot, we got treats to eat or drink once per day. Umbrellas provided when needed. They had meals available. We only had breakfast. Walked 15 minutes to other places for dinner.

Breakfast is tasty, although options are somewhat limited, probably reflecting the size of the hotel.

Lots of space in the rooms, especially having just come from Tokyo.

The only thing I would improve is to add some relaxing lighting to the bedroom area for reading.

We loved the huge suite with traditional Japanese features. It was lovely looking out on the river and was a peaceful stay. The staff were friendly and helpful and there were thoughtful touches in the room. About 15 minutes walk into town but worth it for the space and views. The traditional public baths were separate for men and women - from a British point of view they were a bit like the toddlers’ depth pool with hot water- both times we had them completely to ourself so very peaceful and relaxing. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Our room was way bigger than expected. Everything was perfect, clean and comfortable. Our private onsen was a highlight, very good breakfast and lovely view over the river. Worth every penny and wish we stayed longer.

The lobby smelled kind of funny. The hallways were freezing (not heated). While the room was immaculate, it is somewhat run-down.

The breakfast was good, many options! We loved the location, beautiful spot right on the river. Half-mile walk to shops and stuff, but kind of nice to return home in the evenings to our quiet and beautiful room. The staff were very kind and made us feel very welcome.

A beautiful authentic experience. The hotel is just over the river with a fabulous view from the rooms. It is only around a 20minute walk to the castle in the centre but there is also a bus stop nearby for those who don’t wish to walk.
