Kanazawa Chaya

No se recomienda alojarse en un antiguo hotel familiar en comparación con los hoteles profesionales. Se siente informal y garabateado. No hay respuesta en la entrada. El vestíbulo es pequeño y deprimente. Las alfombras viejas están sucias y no están bien cuidadas. La higiene está bien. La habitación no es exquisita. El aire acondicionado hace ruido. Lo más importante es que ambas comidas en el hotel Ryotei son simples y desagradables, solo agregue azúcar y hiérvalas. Muy, mucho, no vale los 1500 yuanes por Jiayuncai del Grupo Kyoritsu. El servicio y la calidad de la comida son mucho mejores que esto. El comedor en el primer piso huele a humo aceitoso. El orden de los platos es confuso. El personal se encargó de los zapatos y vino a servir la comida. Según mi mala impresión del hotel, no experimenté las aguas termales. Ahora me quedo en Sai no Ting. Es limpio, ordenado y profesional. No se puede comparar con el hotel. El personal es mayor pero muy responsable, pero la gestión no es buena.

離金澤站兩三分鐘的路程，服務很地道，日式招待，房間是典型的温泉酒店，早餐也很豐富，舒舒服服泡澡休息，非常好的休假。

Having never stayed at a ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn, this was an experience that we both thoroughly enjoyed. The Kanazawa Chaya is located a very short 3 min walk from the JR Kanazawa railway station and is easy to find. The Higashichaya Old Town, Kenrokuen Garden, and Omicho Market are also within easy walking distance. The entrance is through a small, landscaped portico area, which makes a perfect visual and mental separation from the streets outside. The lobby is spacious and equally tranquil. The staff were very helpful in explaining (in basic English) the various amenities of the hotel and assisting us through the check-in process. Our room was very spacious, with tatami flooring, sliding shoji paper doors, a delightful tokonoma, and a reasonable western-style bathroom. The low table at the centre of the room, replaced with a futon every night. We were provided a yukata set, comprising a yukata, yukata jacket, obi (belt), and socks. For the uninitiated these traditional garments function as a bathrobe, and loungewear – they can be worn to the onsen, dinner and breakfast, and even to bed as sleepwear. Our stay usually included an elaborate multi-course dinner, kaiseki ryori (Japanese haute cuisine), featuring local and seasonal specialities, and a traditional breakfast in the morning. Alcohol is not included but added to your bill. You will need to confirm the time for dinner and breakfast the day before your meal. We both enjoyed the use of the hotel’s onsen, another first for my wife, it was so refreshing after each day of sightseeing in the area. I would wholeheartedly recommend this ryokan experience to anyone travelling through Japan – we both felt lie treasured guests.
