I greatly enjoyed my stay at Murataya, a fantastic little ryokan placed excellently along the Katamachi/Korinbo districts. The service was attentive and the rooms were clean, with delicious tea provided alongside an insulated pitcher to be prepared at one's convenience. The communal bathroom is functional and has an attached public but very small onsen. The host spoke good English as well as Japanese and was able to provide plenty of recommendations for locations to visit. The Japanese breakfast was home-cooked and delicious. I would highly recommend it (just consider that if checking in late, you have to reserve it the day before, but there shouldn't be a shortage of delicious breakfast in Kanazawa anyways). One note is that the rooms are poorly insulated due to the large Japanese windowframes, which also let in plenty of light early in the morning. Another note is that the stairwells for some rooms are very steep, so notify the front desk if you experience any mobility issues or similar.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights and enjoyed it very much. The staff was very kind and welcoming to us. Very hospitable. You must change into indoor slippers provided by the inn. Upon checking in, I noticed one of the elderly staff cleaning my luggage wheels which I thought was very nice of him to do so as I’ve been to a different inn in Japan where visitors were told to clean their luggage wheels themselves. I would’ve been more than happy to clean them myself but truly appreciated the hospital gesture. We adored the garden view from our room and we had lots of space! Our futon beds were set up for us upon entering and they were the most comfortable futons ever!!! I wish I could’ve napped in them if my time in Japan wasn’t so crucial spent awake 😅. My boyfriend also commented that their floor mattress were softer than the mattresses we’ve slept on in hotels across Japan. Showers and toilet rooms are shared. The sink to wash hands or toothbrush is lowkey in the lobby facing the kitchen entrance which is a bit of an awkward spot. I felt like everyone can see me when I wanted to brush my teeth. That was pretty much the only downer during our experience. I enjoyed the homey community feel of this ryokan though as both guests and staff would always be walking around. Keep in mind, walls between rooms are thin and we could hear our neighbour room talking but we didn’t mind. Maybe something to keep in mind for others!

昔ながらの旅館。雰囲気抜群。でもリーズナブル。スタッフもとても親切。トイレやお風呂は共用だが、客数も多くないので問題なし。新しくはないが、快適。繁華街の中心にあるため超便利。飲食店も山ほどある。 リピートしたいです。

This is a very charming inn, clean and tidy. I really enjoyed the friendly and warm service from the owners, whom I believe are family. They greeted me when I came in & wished me well when I would leave. They always asked if I needed anything and were so helpful. I really enjoyed it and would return again.

Aufenthalt war gut. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es hat eine familiäre Atmosphäre was uns gut gefallen hat. Unser Zimmer war sehr schön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Allerdings ist das gesamte ryokan sehr hellhörig und leider in keinem sehr guten Allgemeinzustand. Die Dielen knarren und man kann wirklich alles aus den Stockwerken darüber hören. Frühstück war okay, insgesamt netter Aufenthalt für zwei Nächte.

Murataya Ryokan is situated in a really convenient location close to buses, shopping and restaurants. The owners make every effort to ensure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. The indoor onsen is fantastic after a long day of walking! Highly recommend their Japanese breakfast, it's delicious and not easy to get this outside. The care and dedication it takes to make it is just one of the reasons why this place is a gem. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Disliked: Amenities
The quality and standing of the property confirm the 2-star categorisation. However, while the experience was nice, the final evaluation was given by their strict policy on storing the luagages after 3pm. They wanted to charge us, which was not a big problem, but they had no standard tarif, hence we ended up into a negotiation debate.
