Kaname Inn Tatemachi

The room size was incredible. If you're staying with a group, or if you're just craving room to spread out and relax, this is perfect!! Having a kitchenette was great for storing breakfast options and snacks. The views were amazing, and the location was pretty perfect. We were easily able to get to the castle, Kenroku-en, and to the samurai district, and we never had to search long for great food and drinks. This was the highlight of all our stays in Japan!

Kaname Inn seemed to be set up to host digital nomads and business travellers. It has the most number of accessible plug points in a hotel room that I've encountered which is great as a couple we have several electronic items which need constant recharging or connection. The music bar is of course seriously cool and yet not a noisy night club pounding into the night. The onsite laundry room is also great.

What a fantastic stay at the Kaname Inn! I have to say everything was perfect. I originally planned to stay 5 nights but added on an extra 2 when the weather turned bad, and it was really cozy. The location was excellent within walking distance of the major sites and near lots of restaurants. Easy to get to from the station - only 3 stops on the bus. Every single one of the staff were charming and so helpful. It was lovely to see such friendly welcoming faces every day. My room was spacious and the bed and pillows very comfortable (not hard like other Japanese beds) and had a sofa in it which was excellent for relaxing. There was a minifridge cups and a kettle. The bathroom had a good sized bath. It was all sparkling clean. An added bonus was the bar which had really excellent food and drinks (I got some coupons for drinks for electing not to have my room cleaned thoroughly every day). Plus the DJ played excellent vinyl every night. Finally the price was extremely reasonable. This was my second visit to Kanazawa and my first to Kaname. It won't be my last, I can't imagine staying anywhere else.

We loved our stay at Kaname Inn. Great location and right in the middle of shopping/walking street. The staff are superb! The ladies in front desk are so knowledgeable and friendly and greeted us each morning to wish us a nice day. They answered all of our queries about things to do in the area and gave clear instructions on where to find ceramics and art galleries. Also communicated with Soyu to arrange a wonderful tea ceremony. The evenings were relaxing spent listening to great music and eating delicious shared plates and the red wine was divine! We are so grateful to have stayed at Kaname and definitely recommend a stay here.

I just had a FABULOUS two-night stay at Kaname Inn and I just had to sing its praises. It checked all my boxes--super comfortable, intimate size, spacious bright rooms, clean, great beds, quality bedding, stylish lobby, very thoughtful service and perfectly located. I had arrived on the later side after driving my rental many hours with the last hour+ in a blizzard. Check-in took about two minutes (seriously), they told me I could park two blocks away in a covered garage for a very reasonable rate and then I parked myself at their bar for a tasty meal, creative cocktails and lovely vibe-y music. Perfection! The location is great--on an intimate, boutique lined street and walkable to the samurai district, one of the chaya districts and many great restaurants and coffee. I would happily stay here again.
