Hotel Vista Kanazawa

One of the Best Hotels I've Stayed at in Japan I've been traveling to Japan for the past three years, and this hotel is without a doubt one of the best I've experienced. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional. The hotel itself is beautiful—elegant design, peaceful atmosphere, and meticulous attention to detail. One thing that really stood out to me was how spacious the rooms are, especially by Japanese standards. Everything was spotless, and you could tell that cleanliness is a top priority here. Every part of the hotel felt fresh, well-maintained, and comfortable. I honestly can't recommend this place enough. Whether it's your first time in Japan or your tenth, staying here will make your trip even more special.

The place is pretty easy to get to from Kanazawa station, plus there's an underground walkway from the station to about 2/3rds the way to the hotel, which is useful when it's raining. The room felt spacious and the double bed was comfortable and big, plenty of amenities. The bathroom and toilet were very good, each in their separate cubicles with the sink being located outside in the main bedroom. I like this arrangement as it makes it easy to wash hands after eating food. The bath was big enough for me (I'm 178 cm). The breakfast was pretty nice as well and had a mix of Japanese and Western foods. Also the hotel had a washing machine room and dryer for anyone who wants to wash clothes. Front desk receptionist spoke English so I found the check in & check out process to be very easy. There's a 7-eleven just 2 buildings next to the hotel too. Kanazawa has a lot of interesting places to visit so I would recommend staying at least 2 nights here.

Hotel is very conveniently located, a short walk away from the main Kanazawa train station (though note that if you have heavy luggage, crossing the intersection to get there will require taking a lift from close to the train station where the bus stop is situated, walking through the underpass, and coming out from the other lift at the far end. Rooms were spacious and beautifully appointed, and staff were polite, efficient, and friendly, and helped me with forwarding my luggage onwards to the next hotel.

Nice staff, good buffet breakfast, near the JR station for our trips around Kanazawa and to get to our next destination, convenience store nearby, the onsen available for the guests (good experience for a first timer!), good service as they cleaned our rooms and changed the jammies, replaced our water.
