Dormy Inn Morioka

The onsen is amazing! Arguably you're not allowed to go in with tattoos, but so you just go when there's no one else in the Onsen. You can check how full the onsen is on the TV in your room which is super convenient! There's also free ice cream at the Onsen and free ramen at night! The location is also great. I also loved my room a lot, I stayed here for a whole week and I was sad to go. It's a bit expensive for me but if I would definitely come back any time.

I think they should allow tattoos in the Onsen. It's such an outdated rule. Tattoos are body decorations, just like ear rings or piercings. They don't mean someone is a criminal. Oh also the pillows were a bit too hard I think.

Onsen on the roof. Extremely clean. Reliable parking. Option to pay for breakfast on a day by day basis. Efficient elevators. Yummy breakfast with good variety. Everything was in English and explained so you didn't misunderstand if you're a non-japanese speaker. Give you a nice pajamas to lounge around in on your way to the Onsen and anywhere in the hotel. Excellent location five blocks from the main train station. Booking seems to want to put the negative comment that I made about the parking first so including some details here just realized that there's stacked parking in a silo type structure that is like a giant elevator think of a Hot Wheels toy but in real life. Only certain size cars very small ones can fit. Parking was 1,000 yen a day this could easily be spoken of in websites and advertising. The other option is in small parking lots proximal to the hotel. If you're like me and dragging a bunch of ski gear around every day that's not that convenient. Again it would be easy for the hotel and for booking to make people aware of these details8

The parking situation could be explained a little better

First thing first, this hotel comes with its own hot spring bathing facility. its mixed gender. However the male side from experience had one large indoor bath, one outdoor, one iron tub outside, and a iron tub cold water bath, along with a Sauna. I also liked the fact they provided a seasonal cooling shampoo and body soap. which was much appreciated when the temperature was 37 degrees. The hot spring was really comfortable, and i recommend taking advantage of it. The hotel also provide a range of free ammenties nothing too fancy, but still appreciated. The thing I really enjoyed was the fact it provided half a bowl of ramen for free 11pm is the closing time. Free Ice cream for using the bath and free yakult in the morning. They even have a coffee machine (Be warned its extra hot, even the cups fee boiling after, hotel might want to consider a different cup.) The 10th floor where the bath is located also houses the ice machine, vending machines and a rest area with a view and lots of manga to read. The room was ok. felt more like a Japanese apartment because the room had a hallway that seperated the bathroom and toilet from the main room. Oh i also forgot to mention the free pudding in the fridge as a complimentary welcome.

The distance from the station, while it isn't too far, it wasn't ideal, but this is not the fault of the hotel. The pavement uses stones that are unsuitable for suitcases so it makes for a bumpy experience. The hotel isn't near alot of attractions and Morioka itself isn't as attractive as a city. I hope I will be able to enjoy it next time in more depth as I arrived at 10pm and left by 9am.

Friendly staff, they tried their best to speak English to us. Affordable price with hot spring in city centre. Hot spring is good, large enough. Free Ramen in night time which taste good, Bathroom is large enough. Can put our luggage before check-in time.

The location is a bit far from JR station, which takes ~15 min walk (~20mins walk with luggages). A bit expensive compared with other hotels, perhaps with hot spring and other "free" food during specific time. No place for putting clothes in bathroom. One of the beds in triple room is sofa bed, the mattress is too hard and have sound when turn around.

The location is great - major attractions are within walking distance, and a big shopping street is nearby. The onsen is amazing, and very clean. After your soak, you can read some of the manga that's available (if you read Japanese), or snack on a free popsicle or yogurt drink. The rooms are a fair size for the money, and they feel very secure, because you can only get to each floor using your specific keycard. The bed was big and comfortable, and there was a free treat in the mini-fridge when I entered my room!

On the second day of my stay, I thought I'd had an allergic reaction to the laundry detergent I'd used, because there were red bumps on my skin. It wasn't until two days after leaving that I met up with a Japanese friend who said the red marks were 'Dani' bites. Needless to say, while I was very happy while staying there, the realization that there may have been bed bugs in the room, lowered my enjoyment. However, I would still stay there again - that's how much I enjoyed it.

The room was clean, cosy, and comfortable. The location is convenient. The meals were delicious with a good variety of dishes. Your famous local ramen were tasty. The onsen was most relaxing and revitalising. The service was warm, efficient, and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your hotel and will be back.

No complaints and no regrets. We loved every minute. The staff were very friendly and very helpful.

The location was perfect. Right on Chuo Dori, which was right at the doorstep of the Morioka Sansa Odori Festival (between 2-4 August). The hotel was also close to eateries, convenience stores, and approximately 15 minute walk to the JR Morioka Station. There is an Onsen on the 10th floor, with complimentary Yakult and icy-poles. Wi-Fi was super quick. Rooms were reasonably sized.

The check-in process is a bit bureaucratic. You have to pay an extra Y300 via the machine. Only hotel where I had to do this. Couldn't Bookings.com have included it in the booking fee?

Open air onsen was wonderful, and free ice cream afterwards. Room had plenty of space for luggage, well planned room. Beds very comfy. Everything very clean. Staff friendly and helpful, check in easy. Easy 20 minute walk from station. Tourist information office at station gave us very clear instructions using lifts, etc to access road crossings.

Hotel opened around the time the COVID crisis started. Due to low accupancy during that period, the rooms are still in pristine, almost untouched condition. Of course the roofftop onsen with rotenburo as signature feature of this hotel chain, is a massive selling point and puts any hotel stay on another level. Breakfast buffet is inexpensive and real good! Restaurants and shopping within walking distance. I will definitely stay again on any future trip to Morioka.

noting :)

the front house staffs are super attentive and helpful. They saw it until your matters solved. everything here is felt anew, comparing to the dormy inn I stayed in other places in Japan. different choice of welcome drinks is very good. Onsen on the upper floor is very nice and clean. I have a comfortable stay here

the bed is too soft and hurts my lower back. needs like 10 mins of walking time from JR station.
