Dormy Inn Hatchobori Tokyo

Myth: Free WiFi in the rooms There is a condition. If your room is on the higher levels, then the WiFi will not connect. Unless you are using a computer, then it will connect poorly. I thought it was my problem at first or a password error, but the WiFi worked fine on 2F. Same domain name and password. When I went to 11F, it did not allow me to connect on my phone. I went to 7F on my second stay here and was able to connect to WiFi but poorly. When I go to 4F to test my hypothesis, it can connect haha Myth: No tattoos allowed in the sauna This sign is everywhere, but people don’t follow it because they don’t reinforce it. Then why even put the sign? Can put something more useful or important. Or they can actually enforce that rule if they believe it to be so important since they put it everywhere! Upon checking in, although rooms are non-smoking, the hallways reek of cigarette smoke when you approach your room. Room: Needs extra attention to cleanliness. It is a little small, but most room in Japan are small unless ryokan Cleanliness though is what makes this one star. I find huge dust bunnies and mold in the room. This is disgusting. Do they assume I won’t use the shower because there is a public bath? I used the shower today and the drain was not only clogged but there was mold on the ground as well. The sauna clothes provided have a tag that is hung around them saying enjoy the smell of freshly cleaned clothes. If it is freshly cleaned, then it should not reek of sweat. It smells terrible. Did they not use detergent to wash? Breakfast: It is alright. Just try once or to have for the convenience is okay.. Sushi for 1800 yen, then please go somewhere else better. There is more delicious food to be explored in surrounding areas. Elevator: they have two elevators, but only one elevator goes to 1F. You have to wait awhile for it. This was a hassle because if physical challenges or elderly, it is difficult for them to take the steep stairs to go from 2F to 1F. Amenities: Nice ramen after 9:30pm Ice cream during the night and yogurt drink in the morning after your sauna. Located very close to the lobby 2F. Service: counter members are nice. Minimal interactions with them.

You may be wondering why I'm rating this hotel 5 stars when for each category I've only given 4 stars. Here's the deal - it's one of the few onsen hotels in the area, and it's reasonably priced. I'm an onsen lover; if you're not, consider this place actually 3 stars. For me, this is my favorite hotel in Tokyo.
