First trip to Japan, discovered that if your hotel or accommodation does not include a natural onsen (hot springs), you are missing out. Stayed in two Dormy Inns in different cities, and both were excellent. Sounds ridiculous, but I sometimes visited the onsen twice per day... Oh, and the Osaka Dormy has free popsicles!

The property had excellent amenities the spa though not the biggest was definitely great value and allot better than other bigger in hotel sauna onsens I have tried.

This was the only hotel that I visited in Japan out of 5 that did not directly forward luggage to another hotel. Instead they had a family mart connecting to the hotel that would forward the luggage for you. Whilst the option was available using family mart turned out to be a little bit of a hassle as you will be left to fill out the forms by yourself and if you are not familiar with the forms or Japanese it can lead to easy mistakes resulting in your luggage being delayed.

location is very near to dontoburi n shinsaibashi shopping street. Free ramen supper n ice cream n coffee. Free use of washing machines. u can take a direct airport bus juz nearby the hotel to kansai airport. We only realised it when we happen to walk pass the building on the last day of our stay. So remember to check with the hotel staff about this airport bus location if you r interested (less than 5 mins walk).

Public bath is abit small n can get quite crowded esp during peak hours. Before our trip, I emailed the property to enquire about the best way/metro exit to reach the hotel but no reply at all. So was a big disappointment in this aspect. The first time we go to the hotel was abit confusing n not tat easy esp when u are checking in at night with luggages. Took us a while to get oriented n walk from the metro stn to the hotel.

The location is about 5-7 mins walk to Dotonburi and Shinsaibashi. Located at the heart of the buzzling area in Osaka. The onsen is great, 24 hrs. The hotel does provide free soba noddle and ice cream in the evening. Staff is very friendly. Laundry services is available at no cost.

Fast check in and very considerate and empathetic management by the staff of my booking. I mistakenly booked two rooms for two days but only needed one room for two days. Initially, the policy of the booking agent was no refund; however, I was refunded for one room in full, which my wife and I highly appreciated. That was totally unexpected and we were quite pleasantly surprised by the initiative of Dormy Inn. We’ve stayed in dormy inn branches in Tokyo and always enjoyed our stay because of the cleanliness, amenities, and locations. Now we have another reason to keep choosing Dormy Inn for future visits to Japan.

You will basically stay here for the location and the generous public bath. The beds are also good. I also enjoyed the special touches that Dormy Inns have such as a snack waiting in the refrigerator and free Ramen at certain times.

If you are looking for something special in a hotel room, look elsewhere. Thanks to the self service kiosk. I don’t believe I spoke to single employee during my entire stay..

We have stayed a Dormy Inn Premiums before and they were great - this one is no exception! It's in a great location - fairly close to our car rental return, near all the major sites we wanted to visit - easy walking! We stayed here for two nights. Our first day there was after a road trip around Shikoku, so we made good use of their laundry facility (very clean and detergent is provided with each load). Our room was great - comfortable beds, large enough for our suitcases and to move around in. Buffet breakfast is great, as is the Yonaki soba in the evening. We would definitely stay here again.

Firstly, amazing breakfast! Not only their famous unlimited ikura, but they also serve chopped maguro, and other great menu for breakfast! We stayed for 2 nights and we could not get bored with their variety! Secondly, their public bath is clean and spacious. They even have a semi outdoor bath which feels much better than the indoor. Thirdly, the agents were extremely helpful. The check-in and out process, plus caring for luggage, were beyond our satisfaction! Lastly, they have Yacult and ice cream after bath, too!

Nothing!

There was laundry services on site which was fantastic, vending machines, location was central and about a 5 min to Dotonbori area for restaurants and entertainment. I checked out and forgot my powerbank was still plugged in, thankfully, reception was able to find it and return it to me! They also allow you to leave luggage with them too. Onsen was amazing, for guests with smaller tattoos, they provide you with tattoo coverup stickers which was very nice of them for guests to enjoy their facilities. Free yoghurt drink, ice cream and ramen late at night.

Guests with larger tattoos may not be able to use onsen, and the room we booked was a little small, so hard to open luggage on the floor. Otherwise, everything was great!

Location is good as it’s short stroll to the heart of Dotonbori but if you need your sleep maybe it’s a little too close. Breakfast was very good as was the provision of washing and drying machines.

Room was a little on the small size but we were aware before booking.
