Well presented and maintained smallish hotel with massive teak furniture all around. Rooms clean and comfortable.
Near Hirugano Kogen ski park (although not a walking distance if carrying skis and gear) is a bit off the tracks. After a day in the ski fields, spa at level 5 is a great way to end the day.
Japanese style dinner, included in the price is an 8-course meal that will stuff you well. Japanese breakfast is as if intended to keep you full until dinner.
The restaurant is with chairs...

Special design vibe was the attraction for our party. Need to reserve breakfast the day before, so plan ahead. All in all a nice unique alternative in Takayama, part Japanese, part Western.

Nice and efficient hotel in excellent location near train station and old town. Excellent breakfast. Helpful staff fairly fluent in English. Gets large group tours so common areas can get very busy at times.

Best bang for your buck hotel in term of facilities and amenities! The club lounge option is worth the extra money since the breakfast and club lunge offer premium food and drinks. The breakfast option is the best I seen in terms of Asian & western selections.

LOVE this place. Feels like a 4 star hotel—large rooms, very clean and modern, great amenities—but it’s only rated as 3 star. I would book this place again without hesitation. Great location even walking back and forth through the snow (it snowed when we stayed). Staff very helpful. Most of Kanazawa has limited English speaking skills but staff will use google translate to help out :)

Junior is quiet, clean, safe, convenient and beautiful. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The baths are wonderful. Breakfast is plentiful. The common areas are calm, inviting and roomy. We loved the tea rooms! The hotel is located near enough to the train station and all sights that walking is comfortable. And there are bicycles for guests.

Clean with a beautiful view and great restaurants. Check out Coffee House Bonjin for breakfast or 美味しんぼ for dinner. Parking is down the street, but there’s a spot onsite for loading/unloading (and possibly overnight parking, but please ask first, we just followed instructions sheet in the lobby). The place was incredibly quiet. I’d definitely stay again!

The hotel was in a great location, right by Omicho Market and only 10 to 20 minutes walk from the various historical districts in Kanazawa. It's also close to multiple shrines, the castle, and the Kenroku-en Gardens. When I told a staff member that I wanted to do a day trip to Yamanaka Onsen, they gave me some tips on getting there. Also, the cafe is delightful. I tried their ginger latte and thoroughly enjoyed it!

We loved hotel, was very well located. The only thing that I don’t recommend at all is the breakfast. It’s just a sandwich and coffee, nothing more. Thinking about that it’s Japan you would expect another thing.

Good location close to train station, good value, and high marks for giving us a morning check-in for no additional cost. The room was big and comfortable.
While not luxurious it was a good value, and the complimentary buffet breakfast was very good. For a one-night two-day stay in Takayama, this met all of our needs and was a good value.
