Absolute highlight is the 10 course degustation Japanese food experience. My husband said it was the “Japanese meal he has ever experienced”! Do yourself a favour. If you stay here book the restaurant. While it might be considered expensive it really is a gastronomical affair of taste, sight and smells. Not too mention watching the chefs execute their art. Because let’s face it- you are watching food art happen right in front of you.

Nothing. A little lost in translation. But that’s he fun of finding an understanding with Google translate which definitely helps. Overall, they went over and above to help us have a great stay.

Maki No Oto Kanazawa was simply the best! We stayed at some very large, expensive hotels during our Japan vacation but I would honestly rate this hotel as the best experience we had on our vacation. Yama and Masayo were delightful hosts. We loved being the Geisha District. It was a very unique experience. The hotel itself was lovely...the attention to the smallest detail was very impressive. If you stay you MUST have the dinner offered in the hotel. It was one of the best meals we had during the trip. Breakfast was also charming. Thank you again for a truly memorable and unique experience! I

There was honestly nothing we didn't like! Perfect place to stay!

The room was beautifully furnished and really lovely, with a view of the garden. Architecturally gorgeous. Dinner and breakfasts were delicious and perfectly executed. More importantly the overall service was professional, gracious and attentive without being obtrusive. This was the most memorable point of our trip. On our next trip to Japan we will definitely check out it’s sister location in Toyama.

Nothing, this stay was perfect!

The room we stayed in Nishi far exceeded our expectations. High-quality and well thought out amenities were provided. Ryoma Sakai- san and Mayo-san, Leo and team have been absolutely warm and delightful.

There is nothing that we didn’t like, but it would be a bonus if there is a choice of Japanese breakfast.

The staff could not do enough to make sure I was okay, they were so helpful even though I only stayed for one night. I felt very well looked after especially at breakfast. Breakfast was fantastic, it felt very personalised and in serene surroundings. The ryokan is very aesthetically pleasing and close to main sights.

The bed was not comfortable at all and I did not sleep well. There was also a funny smell and the fan which I had to keep on, as it was hot in the room was quite noisy.

The breakfast at Maki No Oto were very good. They also booked us into a sister restaurant for our first night, which also was delicious! The rooms were comfortable, we had one of the western style rooms.

We enjoyed everything.

Perfect location-- walkable to other points of interest. The property was beautiful and serene. Our room was very comfortable and large, and very quiet with a garden view. The bed and sheets were amazing. The staff was warm, friendly and helpful with anything we needed. Breakfast on the premises was delicious. We will be returning!

Nothing.

Great location, excellent service, spacious and well appointed room.

Would have preferred Japanese style breakfast instead of continental

The staff were charming and very helpful. The room was comfortable and well arranged. The bathroom was well appointed with every amenity you could want. The small kitchen was also well appointed with drinks.

Really nothing.

Right in the centre of Kanazawa perfect location The evening food was amazing, on a par with Michelin level food, but a prewarning for Western travellers it’s quite traditional Japanese cusisine, as well as the breakfast in the morning.

the room was a bit small
