Smile Hotel Premium Kanazawa Higashiguchiekimae

Fasilitas lengkap dan lokasi strategis, di sebelah Stasiun Kanazawa East. Kebersihan secara keseluruhan baik, kamarnya murah dan kualitasnya bagus, ruangannya cukup luas di tempat seperti Jepang yang ruangannya terbatas dan sikap pelayanannya baik.

Hotel is conveniently located on the east gate of Kanazawa station, with nearby shopping malls (opp Forus shopping mall), and lots of restaurants. Hotel is more like business hotel setup, furnishes is dated but clean. The only downside which we don’t like is the bedside lamp is fixed very near to the bed, am very afraid will bang onto them when sleeping too near. Kanazawa is very tourist oriented, there is a tourist loop bus which you can purchase for the day which is about 800yen per adult unlimited rides on this loop bus (otherwise per trip is about 210 yen), you can purchase the ticket from the East gate bus information counter, and bus boarding at bay no 7. This tourist loop bus passes the tourist spots like the Chaya district, Kanazawa Castle Park / Kenrokuen (same bus stop), Omicho market (which is about 15 min walk from Kanazawa station).

The location is very continent if you are going to use trains a lot while staying in Kanazawa. The hotel is not so close to the main attractions of the city, but if you're ok about walking for a while you can there without buses. It was our case we were sating 4 nights in Kanazawa and took and took 1-day trips to other towns, so for us the location was very convenient. There are several restraints near the hotel. We fell in love with the one in shopping mall that serve unlimited shabu-shabu. The sushi restraints there also great if you are ok with waiting for a table. Despite being located near the train-roads the room is very quiet! It is comfortable, modern and not so tiny as some rooms in Japanese hotels are. Bed and bathroom are comfortable. Also there is a large desk so you can feel comfortable if you need to work. Near the front desk you can get bathroom amenities and even scented bath bombs) Welcome-drink is also a nice touch. We had only one problem - we could not check-in using the machine. Don't know why it couldn't our booking. But the stuff was there to help and solved it quickly. So we had great time here and I'll definitely stay in this hotel once again if we return to Kanazawa.
