    Honestly, I had a great time. I accidentally booked the semi-double not thinking about how small it was for two people, but that's on me.

    The staff was kind and accommodating - they responded to my requests promptly and compassionately. The rooms were nice, as was the location! I especially liked the hot bath on the 11F; you could see a beautiful outlook of Akita while relaxing.

    Best hotel in Japan! There is outdoor onsen with beautiful landscape. The free ramen is delicious but it only available from 9.30-11.30pm. Some other freebies. Walking distance from Akita station and Senshu Park.

    Free Ice Cream and Yakult :D Onsen was supurb!

    Akita's Dormy Inn didn't have as good English-speaking staff as compared to the other ones I've stayed at, but a simple Google Translate would do the job. They also don't allow people with tattoos into the Onsen, but they do have stickers available for you to cover up so you can enter the bath :>

    We had their breakfast buffet on our last morning before we checked out, it was nice and a very decent spread (if you have stayed in Business Hotels in Japan, it is similar to that). Their toothbrushes are so good.. Rooms were once again exceptional, although no bathtub in the rooms (only showers), there's always onsen baths available at Dormy Inn. Free Yakult in the morning, Free mini drink bar and ICE CREAM in the afternoon, and Complimentary Ramen at night, If you love free things, just book a stay here, you won't be disappointed!

    Location to the train station was a short 4 minute walk. The staff was acccompdating. My dinner restaurant was a 1 minute walk. The whole Dormy Inn concept was good before, but has definitely gotten much more solid. I was surprised at the variety of the seasonal and regional breakfast choices. Please keep up the good hard work!!

    Nothing.

    The rooms were fantastic. The onsen was perfect after a long day of traveling. The staff were very helpful (they spoke English). We were very impressed with the number of complimentary things available: toothbrushes and toothpaste, a free bowl of ramen after 9:30pm, complementary snacks/drinks after the onsen, pajamas (robes) which you can wear around the hotel and onsen. They even had umbrellas we could borrow for the day since it was raining pretty heavy. Excellent place and excellent stay. Having travelled many places in the world and stayed in many hotels, this has to be the best one by far (and I am also including significantly more expensive places as well).
