Dormy Inn Premium Osaka Kitahama

Very close to metro in a very quiet and clean district. Onsen and free ramen every evening are a plus. There is a good variety of Japanese dish for breakfast but quite limited choice for western breakfast.

Onsen with sauna and cold bath. Washing machine is located in the onsen changing room and it's also free of charge. Only have to pay ¥100 per 30 minutes for the dryer. They provide free ramen from 21:30 to 23:00 and have a good amount of free drinks.

Hotel with an onsen at this price is great value—no surprise it’s busy. There’s also a free washing machine within the onsen facility, though you’ll need a few 100 yen coins for the dryer, which is super handy. On the same floor, you’ll find vending machines and massage chairs. During our stay, they even offered free soup noodles as a late-night supper, which was such a thoughtful and lovely touch! A local supermarket is just minutes of walk.

I love and trust the consistency of the Dormy Inn experience, each with its own unique spin and value. The free ramen, nightly ice cream and unlimited use of the massage chairs was a highlight and made for the perfect base to recharge each day of our trip. It may be out of the main tourist bubble but it's why we loved it. Getting to explore a new part of the city with lots of food and transport nearby. When I read the reviews I was concerned it may be too far out of everything we wanted to see but it was surprisingly accessible with two stations only a 2 or 10 minute walk away.

Hotel is in a business quarter of Osaka, with many caffes and restaurants around and the metro station is really close. The hotel has an onsen, which was awesome after full day of walking. The hotel provides numerous benefits, such as non-alcoholic drinks and coffee from 15:00, popsicles and ramen in the evening. All provided amenities are high quality. If we ever come to Osaka again, we will be definitely choosing this hotel again.
