Hotel Nikko Kanazawa

Hotel Nikko Kanazawa

8/10 Good
"In general, this is a very nice hotel. It is crowded and popular (pros and cons). It didn't feel personal at all, but the rooms were nice. Hallways were a bit tired. I would stay again if I visit. Definitely acceptable enough for most travellers."
