LINNAS 金沢(Linnas Kanazawa)

The location of the hotel is great - a stone's throw from Omicho market and about 15 mins walk from the station. Walking distance from Kanazawa Castle and Kenrokuen too. The staff were very welcoming. We were able to leave our luggage at reception prior to check in and given hand warmers as it was quite cold - a nice touch. We stayed in the superior quadruple room with a little kitchen which was handy for a family. When the earthquake happened, the staff were straight onto the PA system asking people to evacuate via the emergency stairs. They then checked everybody was warm enough (as the sun was going down and it was getting cold) and then accompanied us to the closest evacuation point which was an open field near Kanazawa Castle. Later on they came to collect us and ensure the communal kitchen was warm and checked that everybody had what they needed. Aki, Heera, Momo and the rest of the Linnas team stayed throughout the night until the morning (even the ones whose shifts have ended) and answered all the panicked questions as best they could, when they could be spending time with their families on new years. We will definitely be back to visit this great little city and stay at Linnas again.

LINNAS is a nice concept for a casual stay. Conveniently located for the Omicho market and the key attractions. But the most joyful memories are because of the very hospitable, professional and charming team running the hotel. Thank you especially to Chichi, Heera, Momo and Aki who tirelessly kept everyone well looked after, during a happy but also challenging few days. We shared lots of laughs with other guests and the whole team over the New Year’s Eve soba party. As well as some worried moments after the powerful earthquake. The hotel is created for a community experience, which in the end accentuated the connections and memories with fellow travellers that wouldn’t normally happen. The entire experience at LINNAS was such a beautiful memory. well looked after during a special but also challenging few days! You made it difficult to leave Kanazawa!
