When I tried asking for the room rates in English, I think they simply ignored my message. Armed with BabelFish, I attempted asking them in Japanese. Their reply came within a few days. "7350yen----8400----10500---12000yen with two meals"
Osaka - Hotel Granvia Osaka (Booked through Rakuten Note: Prepayment required)
I would try not to overlap the reviews of the hotels with Paul as I think he did an awesome job at it.

I'm also doing a very similar trip to Paul's and yours this April and was also thinking about staying at the Dormy Inn in Kanazawa. How did you like it? And how did you like the location?
I'm also considering the APA Katamachi, as it looks more central and has the advantage of housing a highly praised sushiya that I really want to try: Komatsu yasuke... but compared to the Dormy Inn it looks like a dump - though it's also cheaper.
Anyway I'd be interested to see how you felt about the Dormy Inn and Kanazawa in general.
Thanks,
Marco
Hi Marco,
sorry for the late reply. I really liked Dormy Inn Kanazawa. Loved the spa and free Internet. It is conveniently located next to a shopping centre and 3 minutes walk away from the train station.
Kanazawa is a mix of the old and the new. Would be nice to at least visit it once. :)
