Kaname Inn Tatemachi

The staff are very happy to help, and acknowledge you when you enter and leave the building. They have lots of recommendations for activities to do in the area. The room was one of the most spacious that we stayed in within Japan. The attached Kanazawa Music Bar is a lovely spot to eat a filling dinner and grab a nice drink. There are lounging spots outside on the main level, as well as a small area on the 9th floor with 3 chairs - this provides a lovely sunset or nighttime view on a clear night. The location is excellent. It is found on a side street that is quiet despite all of the surrounding shops. Importantly, Kenrokuen Gardens, Kanazawa Castle, and central Downton is walkable. Recommend!

Kanaka Inn is great. The staff are wonderful, and the vinyl bar in the foyer is an excellent place to hang out. They really know both their drinks and their music! The room, by Japanese standards was huge, and even had a lovely views towards the trees of Kenroku-en! It was spotlessly clean. There were some great places to visit an easy walk away, and great shops along the pedestrian area where the hotel is situated, and beyond. As it was my husband’s birthday while we were there, the staff booked Plat Home in advance for us (highly recommended) and also surprised him with a slice of delicious chocolate birthday cake complete with sparklers in the bar! Wonderful place!

i just want to commend the staff for going above and beyond to make sure that my stay was comfortable!! they were always so polite, wishing you well when you go out and greeting you when you come back plus i really appreciated how the staff took care of forwarding my luggage to my next accommodation, making sure to call the next accommodation to make sure someone would be able to receive my luggage and then making it so that i could save a little bit of money as well cos i had to send two luggages. i would definitely recommend staying in this hotel and i would love to stay here again next time i'm in tokyo!!

The hotel team recommended a couple of restaurants and made reservations ahead of my stay, a much appreciated gesture by busy folks at a small hotel which doesn't have a dedicated concierge desk.

The staff were beyond lovely. I had an issue with my ac not working at one point and they jumped to resolve the issue. When it proved difficult to solve they immediately offered to swap our room and offer free drinks as an apology for the inconvenience. Things do go wrong from time to time but what is telling is how a company goes about resolving the matters. The location was quiet and the beds were comfortable (which has proven a rarity in Japan for westerners). It has a nice bar and very clean rooms. I was happy with my stay here.
