We stayed here for 4 days in Kanazawa during our honeymoon, and this hotel is beautiful and excellent value for money. The building is very calming with lovely Japanese aesthetics. The room was clean with complete amenities and surprisingly spacious, especially given that most hotel rooms in Japan are small. The view from their restaurant, overlooking the garden, was stunning. We enjoyed a drink during happy hour, and the service was superb for the value. The staff were all professional and kind. The Onsen was a fantastic addition, and they even gave us a thoughtful gift to celebrate our honeymoon. Overall, we loved our stay here! Tip for guests: The hotel is about a 15-minute walk from the main train station. It’s not a big issue, but we suggest taking a taxi or bus if you have luggage.

Location is great, near Palace and Omichi market. Very servicable if unexciting. King room was a very nice size. Onsen was very nice with a view of the city.

Great location to everything. Good size rooms, the largest that I have experienced at a Mitsui Garden Hotel. Great staff and everything worked. Would stay here again for sure.

Past 5pm most places in the area are closed. Keep that in mind when going out for dinner.

What’s not to like? The rooms were spacious and spotless, and our twin beds were surprisingly large. The staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable, and the breakfast was divine. Kanazawa is beautiful on its own, but staying at the Mitsui made the experience even better. The location is excellent, with Kenrokuen Garden nearby and the Higashi Chaya District within walking distance. Truly one of the highlights of our Japan trip.

Not a lot of laundry machines, with waiting lines for the machines. Also there are no hotel parking facilities, which is a shame, because the parking spots outside the hotel are very expensive.

Nice sized rooms! And walking distance to omicho market, where you can eat fresh sashimi :)

The central location, the efficient and helpful staff, the ofuro, the room was spacious and the beds were firm and very comfortable.

The hotel room had everything we needed, and larger than most in Japan (although smaller than most internationally for the price. The little extras were really nice, such as a one cup drip coffee. The spa was amazing, with the best view of the city.

There are no towels in the Japanese bath. Please don't forget to take your towels.

Japanese bath was amazing

Minor quibbles only: a bedside selection of herbal teas would have been nice instead of the single green-tea packet, and the duvet was a little too cosy for midsummer—lighter sheets or a blanket option would help. I also wished for even a pocket-sized fitness corner; a treadmill, exercise bike, or a set of dumbbells would make quick workouts possible without leaving the hotel. Small tweaks, but they’d elevate an already excellent stay.

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kanazawa exceeded every expectation. Its location is spot-on—just a five-minute cab ride (or easy walk) from the train and bus stations, yet tucked far enough from the main roads to stay whisper-quiet at night. Breakfast was a daily highlight with fresh local dishes, and the staff were unfailingly warm and helpful. Our room felt generously spacious—something we really appreciated after the tighter quarters we had in Kyoto and Tokyo—so unwinding never felt cramped. Of the five hotels we tried across Japan, this one delivered the best overall value, and it will be my automatic choice when I return to Kanazawa.

No tattoos allowed in onsen without coverage, so i wasn't able to partake.

The breakfast was varied, fresh, and flavorful. The staff was lovely and helped me get medical care for an allergic reaction nearby. The hotel room was spacious, especially for Japanese standards, and well appointed. One of the nicest hotels I stayed in during my trip through Japan!

Much more personal than the same hotel chain in Hiroshima which had a more corporate feel. Excellent choices for breakfast.

No gym in hotel and there isn’t one nearby that’s open early.

Staff is super helpful, assisted with getting meal Reservations. Love the buffet breakfast with local Specialties! Service was excellent. The onsen with city view is enjoyable and clean!

The room decoration was of a indeterminable international style, therefore a bit bland. But the beds were comfortable.

Good location for exploring the city. Modern, well appointed hotel, with a nice onsen. Good breakfast selection of freshly cooked Japanese and continental dishes.

Excellent breakfast and staff were attentive and helpful. Our room was a good size and very quiet despite being on a main road. Views from the onsen were spectacular

Rooms were on a smaller size, difficult to manage belongings and nowhere to store

Nice hotel, good location. Onsen was pretty good too. Good breakfast. Very good dinner option too
