    It smelt a lot like humidity inside the room

    Very comfy bed, very nice facilities (having access to the onsen at night after a long day of walking all over Tokio was incredible! Plus, the free ramen and ice creams were a super nice plus!

    This Dormy is a bit of an older model than others that we've stayed in so is a bit dated. That said, all of the reasons that we like Dormy Inns applied to this site.

    The Dormy Inn chain is our go-to when travelling in Japan. Excellent staff, value for money and good facilities including very nice on-site onsens make these inns very welcoming. The free ice-creams and ramen in the evenings are a real plus. As far as this hotel was concerned, it mostly met our expectations and its access to the train station and metro were very good.

    The kitchen sink style arrangement in the room rather than the bathroom I found a bit odd.

    Room was fairly comfortable albeit it quite small, good location in a quiet area but just moments from all the bright lights of Akihabara. The best thing about the place was the rooftop onsen and enjoying an open air bath was a great way to relax after a day’s sightseeing.

    Room & bed was small. No basin in the bathroom. Instead, there’s a kitchen sink in the corner of the bedroom! Very odd & makes the room feel cheap & basic

    Good location, very close to metro station. Good facilities; ie: onsen facilities, free ice cream, free ramen in the evening!

    The only thing I had a little bit of a question about was, they would not allow us to bring my daughter‘s Japanese teacher up to our room to get her gift that we got for her. She had to wait downstairs. I don’t know if that was a safety issue for Her and they were protecting her from us Americans or if it was because they thought maybe we were gonna keep her up there and she’d be a third guest in the 2 Guest room? But it was OK. We just left her downstairs went up and got her gift and brought it back down but I just thought that was a little bit different but that’s OK. Difference is good.

    I liked that they will happily take your bags and you can go explore the city before it’s time to check in and then bring them up to your room! What great service! I think the ambience of the hot water area was very cool. The conditioners and everything for your hair was top notch.

    My room (Japanese Style Double) was very cramped, even compared to the other hotels I stayed at in Tokyo during my trip. I had a single suitcase and backpack with me and it took up a significant portion of space in the room. The shower and toilet facilities while also cramped were well stocked and I had no issues with them. The "Japanese Style" as far as i can tell consisted of a Vinyl sticker on the window mirroring the paper windows, and an enlarged and blurry PNG of a Japanese painting on the wall behind the bed.

    Incredible location, only a 5 minute walk behind the hotel to reach the Akihabara train station, and the building is surrounded by convenience stores, anime shops, and pachinko parlours among other shops I shall not name ;^) The breakfasts at this hotel are very good, with different soups available at the counter, delicious fried chicken on tap among other foods, and multiple beverage machines for all sorts of drinks. Bear in mind that the seating area is also cramped and compact and can only seat maybe 20-30 people, so get there early!

    Bed and pillows were hard as rocks, not very comfortable. They did not mention in their listing that the onsen is not available to anybody with tattoos. I was not allowed to use the onsen advertised.

    Good location, cute design, friendly staff and complimentary evening udon and then extra breakfast you pay for.

    Room was very small and bad was average

    The staff were nice and the hotel rooftop onsens was amazing. However, I felt it was little too expensive at Y28,000 for a small room. Wouid recommend if you can a better rate.

    The pillows were so uncomfortably hard we purchased pillows elsewhere to use at all the Dormy Inns we stayed at. I did not like the TV in the outdoor bath area. It ruined the relaxing vibe. I also didn’t like the tinny music box music that played in public areas.

    The facility was very clean and at a fantastic location. The staff was great.

    The hotel is quite old, and our room was a bit worn out. The beds and pillows were not very comfortable. I had to ask for the humidifier that was shown in the photos, as the air is very dry during the winter. I was given an old, partially broken humidifier that lacked maintenance, but it did its job.

    The public bath under the night sky is an incredible experience. We hardly used our room shower because of the convenience of the sento. The staff is always available, nice and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. The location is fantastic, with everything we needed within a 5-minute walk. There are also train stations nearby, making it easy to travel to any destination. To top it off, we received a complimentary bowl of ramen every night, which was a delightful treat.
