Murataya - Kanazawa

charming traditional stay near kanazawa's best attractions

I loved my stay at this unique spot, where the cozy tatami room gave a perfect traditional ryokan experience and relaxing communal onsen provided a great way to unwind after exploring nearby landmarks like the fine Kenroku-en, just a short walk away.

The location was unbeatable and quiet, for example, an Edo - period garden was at a short distance from the hotel. You could walk to a shopping mall and a main shopping street. The unit we got was well-equipped with the single male toilet, a nice heater, as example.

Fantastic room, large with a nice heater as well as tea, accommodating staff. Costs US$ 20694. Location right by the park as well as the historic area of Kanazawa and all attractions in Kanazawa and the Castle, shops and restaurants. Friendly service and great value.

The staff was very kind and cute to us.

The shared bathrooms were quite a nuisance during peak hours, and I often felt awkward brushing my teeth in the lobby area, as everyone could see me. The stairs leading to the upper levels are steep and can be a challenge, especially for older guests. Plus, the rooms are not soundproof. I was frequently disturbed by conversations from the neighboring unit.

had the single room which was huge with very comfortable japanese beds. the service was good, no reason to complain. the property's location was marvellous and lovely, near all the main attractions.

Very helpful staff that knew english, clean largish room, decent facilities

The shared bath was nice, but I didn't like the extra fees that popped up.

The owners were very friendly, it felt very personal. They have an excellent visitors map with other travellers recommendations of restaurants and places to see. They were very helpful and spoke good english. The onsen type bath could be used privately.

Very central location - near a gallery and a castle. Nestled near eateries and bars.

The Japanese-Style Quadruple Room with Garden View offers a lovely view of a well-maintained Japanese garden that adds a serene touch to the experience. The baths are wonderfully hot.

Laundry hours run from 9 am to 21:30, which forces you to plan around that if you need clean clothes. During colder months, the hallways can feel a bit chilly, so come prepared with something warm for those trips to the restroom since the rooms have solid air conditioning, keeping them comfortably warm.

Nice room and good position.

Staff a little cold and bathroom to forget. Breakfast poor.

Authentic traditional ryokan accommodation at an affordable rate. Helpful owners.

This traditional ryokan provided a warm and comfortable experience in a quiet room with a beautiful garden view. The shared baths were wonderfully relaxing after a busy day, but the shared bathroom setup could be inconvenient during peak times. The Japanese breakfast was a highlight, showcasing the local cuisine.

Location, charming, quietness in the heart of the city

The help from our host to book an other hostel in an other town. Thank you again !

The breakfast. Japonese and western style. Both. Very poor and not good !!
