Kumu Kanazawa by the Share Hotels

Great location. Very nice design and decor. Fit into my need for family of 3 with 3 single beds. But it is very dusty in the room. Ventilation of hotel is bad. But honestly, the price you pay, probably can’t get better also.

Party of three adults stayed for 1 night in June. Nice Japanese design hotel is located within walking distance from Japan Rail station (15-minute walk). The neighborhood offers plenty of restaurant alternatives. Room was very nice and offered enough space for 3 adults with backpacks. The common areas are outstanding (On floor small kitchen, roof top terrace and laundry).

The hotel looks really nice but the room looked nicer and bigger in the pictures. Otherwise the hotel is located kind of midway between the station and the sights, breakfast was ok. Not an enormous amount of choice but some international items at least.

From the Kanazawa station, there are several buses to take to this hotel, including a loop service (200 yen per trip). You can also take the JR buses. Ride is about 5 mins away, and the bus stops are right in front of the hotel. (30 seconds walk). If you dont intend to drive, stay near hotels with bus stops. Get a day pass for 600 yen and you can take unlimited rides with the left loop and right loop buses, that bring you to all the tourist attractions. Board at the back and alight in front of the bus. We got a superior room and it is fantastic to say the least. Fits 4 adults with 2 thick mattresses and 2 tatami mattress. Room is nicely decorated with fully automated toilet with the lid opening and closing by itself. Bath room is perfect with an area and stool for Jap bath (onsen like setup). There are 2 floors at level 3 and 5 where you can chill and make green tea and other drinks. For our room, a complete tea set with a nice kettle and teapots and cups provide the experience of making your own tea with nice tea bags. Breakfast is around 2,100 yen per pax, and must be booked before 11 pm the day before. There is no staff on shift from 12 am to 6 am, but an emergency no. is provided if you need urgent help. Overall, a superb stay. (oh, if you want bicycles, you can rent from the hotel as well). There is also a cafe at level 1.

一緒に宿泊する予定だった友人の家族がコロナ陽性となり、念のため宿泊をキャンセル。1週間前にキャンセル連絡を入れましたが、キャンセル料は通常とおり2割かかるとのこと。キャンセル料がとられるのは予約時の案内に書いていたのでわかりますが、電話対応があまりにも淡白で事務的、またお待ちしてますの一言もなく、また次回予約しようとは思えませんでした。その友人とはまた金沢リベンジしたいねと話していますが、その際は別のホテルを予約します。
