Kaname Inn Tatemachi in Kanazawa

First, Kanazawa is AMAZING and wonderful and beautiful, and we loved it more than any other city on our two-week visit to Japan. Part of the reason we loved it so much is the wonderful hospitality we enjoyed at the Kaname Inn. Upon check-in, my boyfriend realized he left his phone in the taxi cab. Within minutes, the reservation clerk (Haruka) had called the taxi company and arranged to meet the driver for the phone delivery. Such fantastic service and so accommodating and kind. She also spoke flawless English, which really helped our check-in process! The hotel is small, cool, chic, and modern on a very cute pedestrian shopping street. It was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. We did not get the breakfast package, but there is a German bakery (well, in name only) just around the corner where we ate every day, which was tasty and very easy. The hotel has a great central location to all of Kanazawa's sites and is also easily linked by bus route to places around the city. The staff is also outstanding and so helpful. Our first night, they got us a table at the most amazing restaurant that was a favorite of the employees. Since no one at the restaurant could speak English, they pre-ordered food for us based on our food and cost preferences. It was so easy and ended up being our favorite meal of our entire trip. We couldn't have done it without their help. I HIGHLY recommend this hotel. It's well-run, efficient, friendly, clean, and very hip & cool as an added bonus. Beautiful hotel design! Loved it.

After an exhausting trip around the Tokyo to Nagano to Kanazawa, I was soooo ready for a nice but affordable place to rest my head. So glad I found this place on a friend's recommendation. The whole construction is calming with lots of wood accents, a totally groovy music bar (a lot of jazz), and really nice clean and quiet rooms. I got the chance to meet the owner so said building this little boutique hotel was his dream. It shows in all the thoughtful details, especially in the lobby and bar-restaurant area. I'm pretty picky, but I can wholeheartedly recommend this place. It was like an oasis after so much travel.

Brilliant reception took time to advise the local landmarks and shortcuts nearby. Very soulful bar playing cool jazz to soul music. Hotel in a good location. Quiet and clean but very close to attractions and amenities.

New looking facility in a cool shopping street. Audio lounge downstairs was awesome, staff spoke English far better than expected. Very nice stay.

Great little boutique hotel located at a walking distance to pretty much everything in the beautiful city of Kanazawa. The room was clean and great value, and the downstairs music bar was a great place to chill out after a day walking around the city. 

The hotel is located inside a shopping alley. As such, it is quiet at night which we like. The staff at the counter is welcoming and friendly. What I like most is the bar right below the hotel. It is a very special bar that the DJ plays nice music with old school disc. The sound is good as the speakers are good. You may consider staying here. Highly recommended.

The room was bigger than expected, I really enjoyed my stay in the hotel. It was also nice of them to give out vouchers for guests who opted for the eco option.
