Our group of 4 guys stayed in 2 twin rooms. The hotel is a great location for those travelling through Japan on a Rail Pass and in Kanazawa for a day or two. It is right at the train station, which is also one of the main stops of the little tourist bus which does a loop of key sites... More

Small rooms. Only 12 Rough Guide books wide for a double. The ground floor reception has a cafe but isn't really welcoming. However the breakfast was reasonable with a wide choice of food mainly japanese but also European but this hotel is really not suitable for a long stay.

Stayed at the APA Hotel at Kanazawa during my December family holidays. It is located centrally near a bus and train station with convenient stores everywhere, but here lies the problem if you're looking for some peace and quiet. Human traffic outside the hotel is high, with locals rushing for work/school and buses plying the station. The room is tiny... More

The double rooms are so small you can't open the door if you have your suitcase open as there is nowhere else to leave it other than in the hall. This is a fire hazard. The bed is probably a king single bed, which takes co-ordination for two people to sleep comfortably. The reception area smells of smoke (which is... More

Affordable, compact and comfortable room, tight squeeze for 2 persons but since staying only for 1 night, it was ok. Location wise, 1 min walk from JR station west exit. Plenty of cafes at train station and the adjoining shopping mall. There are a few other hotels near JR Kanazawa station and the reason why i picked APA Hotel is... More

this hotel is right at one of the exits of the train station so was very handy for catching the shinkansen. the rooms were quite small with one tiny window, but the highlight was the onsen spa which was large and had a sauna as well as a roof terrace. my husband tells me the mens side was much larger...

Very close to the train station. Walking distance to most sights in Kanazawa. Rooms are small, but very comfortable. Best part is the spa on sight (Eki Spa). Free to use for hotel guests. Its a nice onsen. Also, the happy hour specials at the bar are nice. And there is a coffee shop on the ground floor, as well... More
