This page is for people planning a night near Kanazawa Station for two, who want to compare what the listings say instead of the "from X yen" figures shown in search results. It compares four hotels using one date, 7 October 2026 (Wednesday), for 2 adults in 1 room. It contains no impressions from a stay.
Quick answer
- On 7 October, the four hotels showed prices from 10,000 yen to 11,460 yen for 2 adults in 1 room, which is 5,000 to 5,730 yen per person. The gap between them is small.
- AB Hotel Kanazawa was the one showing 10,000 yen. The other three showed 10,544, 11,400 and 11,460 yen.
- Because the gap is small, the exit (west or east), the baths and the parking terms in each listing may matter more than the price.
Who this helps, and who it does not
It helps if you want to keep the cost of a room for two in mind and prefer to compare prices for the actual night rather than a starting price. It also helps if a difference of a few hundred yen would not decide it for you, and you would rather choose by exit or by bath.
It helps less if you want to compare room size and bed width across all four, since only one listing gives a room size. It also helps less if you choose by the contents of breakfast, because none of the four listings gives them.
What to read in a listing
The same date, not a starting price. A "from X yen" figure is not tied to a date and is often per person. The prices on this page are all for 7 October 2026, 2 adults, 1 room, as recorded on Rakuten Travel, so they can be put side by side.
West exit or east exit. The listings split into two groups. AB Hotel Kanazawa and Hotel Mystays Premier Kanazawa count their walk from the west exit. Smile Hotel Premium Kanazawa Higashiguchi Ekimae and Super Hotel Premier Kanazawa Station East Exit count theirs from the east exit. Look at which side of the station your next day starts on.
What the listing says about baths and rooms. AB Hotel Kanazawa's listing mentions baths separated by gender. Super Hotel Premier has "natural hot spring" in its facility name. Hotel Mystays Premier says all rooms are 32 sq m or more. The Smile Hotel Premium listing gives a rebrand-opening date and a distance from the station, and nothing about baths or rooms.

The exit, not only the minutes
A shorter walking time can look closer, but each listing counts from a different exit. AB Hotel Kanazawa counts 1 minute from the west exit, and Smile Hotel Premium counts 3 minutes from the east exit. Read the exit name together with the minutes, and check it against where you are going the next day.
If you are driving
The four listings word parking differently. One points to an adjacent lot with separate entry and exit fees, one has an on-site lot with a height limit and closed hours, one has no hotel-run lot, and one asks you to reserve by phone. Read the parking field before you decide, separately from the distance to the station.
Do reviews help?
On 7 October the order of the four by price matched the order by average review: 10,000 yen with 4.15, 10,544 yen with 4.34, 11,400 yen with 4.42 and 11,460 yen with 4.45. The review counts differ a lot, though. AB Hotel Kanazawa has 4,004 reviews and Smile Hotel Premium has 802, so the averages do not carry the same weight. Read the content of the reviews for the items you care about.
Notes on the numbers
- Prices are for one night on 7 October 2026 (Wednesday), for 2 adults in 1 room, as recorded when the Japanese article was made. Prices change by date and can differ on other dates. Always check the price shown on Rakuten Travel for your own dates.
- Walking times and exit names are what each listing says, not measured by us. Review counts and averages are Rakuten Travel's.
- Breakfast contents, bed width and check-in time are left out because the Rakuten Travel data does not list them, and we did not stay.
