Dormy Inn Hirosaki

This hotel is part of the Dormy Inn chain and meets the brand’s standards. It has an onsen, free ramen, and parking available. Once you’ve parked the car, it’s not convenient to drive out again to find somewhere to eat.

However, it is quite difficult to find a place for dinner nearby, although a Lawson convenience store is within a reasonable walking distance.

Complimentary noodles and drinks. The apple juice was divine!Sleep wear provided which makes it convenient to do laundry etc .

Only one pillow. Would have liked one more or be able to choose pillow type.

Access to major tourist sites.Hot spring big baths, outdoor bath with a beautiful mountain view.

Free flowing fresh apple juice! Beautiful onsen! Free ice cream! And free ramen! Loved how this well maintained hotel gave us a taste of Japanese hospitality! It may be older (as can be seen in how the bathrooms are set up) but it is very clean!

The location is kind of out of the way

Near Castle , parking, good breakfast

The Onsen is good. The offer of free shuttle and free drinks/Udon is very essential.

Hirosaki is a relatively small town. It is not easy to find a convenient shop (7-Eleven, Lawson, Family Mart ...). English speaking tourists also find it hard to get things as most restaurants and shops do not offer English explanations. The free food and drinks offered by the hotel is therefore very essential. But the timing for Udon is strange. Not sure why it is at 9:30pm instead of 9pm.

Parking

Very good price for what is offered! The room was clean and offered the usual amenities, PJs, towels and even some free apple jelly as a service.The best part is the sento including an open air bath that you can use for free. There’s also an assortment of free ice cream to enjoy after your bath.The breakfast is buffet style and was very delicious.

Not a deal breaker, but location is a bit far from the station. However, they have a shuttle bus you can use for free as long as you reserve it in advance.On the other hand it’s pretty close to Hirosaki castle and a lot of restaurant/bars.

The onsen on the roof was lovely.

The front desk staff were very rude. We had the impression that they hated western guests. We booked a room for 4 and it only had 2 pillows, 2 waters etc, when we asked for 2 more pillows we received eyerolls from the staff with our pillows. We tried to book the free shuttle bus to get the station and when we were told we could not, we asked for them to call taxis for us. We were told it was impossible due to the snow festival but we had been catching taxis the whole time we were there and we watched a Japanese family walk into a reserved taxi as they were telling us they couldn't get us a taxi. They kept trying to direct our family including children out into the snow with our bags to catch a local bus. The rooms were not clean under the beds, one of children lost his beanie and when we pulled it out an apple core came with it. It is a convenient location for the castle which is why we booked but it is the worst service we have ever experienced in 10+ years of travelling to Japan, we would never stay again.

Laundry facilities. Parking.

Hard bed and pillow.

The room is amazing with every detail covered. The staff are friendly, professional and willing to help with any queries. The onsen area is spectacular, way beyond expectations. It’s a few minutes walk from the castle with a few eateries within walking distance.

Nothing!! In fact, I had difficulty getting information about transport options from the station, but on arrival at the station a taxi is only Y1,200. On my return I discovered they provide a free shuttle to the station, so fret not!

We loved staying here, the hotel has the most amazing onsen on the rooftop with a sauna and cold plunge. The staff are lovely, and the breakfast buffet was very good.

The rooms are a little dated, but they’re very clean.

Best place to stay in Hirosaki with all the expected comfort from Dormy Inn. Beautiful onsen as always with views on Hirosaki. Practical on site parking.

Clean.Convenient.Open carpark ( don’t like those elevator car park but if the open carpark is full then they’ll allocate your car to the elevator carpark which’s troublesome as you can’t access your car easily eg forget to pick up sth from the car.Staff helpful

There’s welcome drink ( apple juice , coffee n water ) next to the hotel reception daily

From the outside, this hotel looks a little run-down, but it was full of pleasant surprises! The whole accommodation was very clean, from room to common spaces. Check-in was a breeze, with staff going out of their way to provide our daughters with kids' amenity bags (loved the kids' slippers & PJs!) and the best apple juice we've ever had. At 1st glance the room had a bit of a bizarre layout (sliding door separating bedroom from sink, with shower/toilet in a separate room), but it actually ended up being very convenient when our family of 4 was getting ready at night/in the morning. We had no idea that free noodles and ice cream were available daily, which easily served as dinner for us. The onsen dressing room was very nice, secure and clean, and the free laundry machines were a welcome amenity. Rooms were turned down while we were out for the day. We paid extra for breakfast (something we typically don't do, but there aren't many options around) and were so glad we did! The buffet was wonderful - the Japanese offerings being the highlight. Kitchen staff kept everything replenished up until closing, so we never once had to wait for something to be refilled. More hotels could stand to learn a thing or two from the Dormy Inn!

We have no complaints with the hotel itself! In general, Hirosaki is a little difficult to reach if you don't have a car (city bus is the best way to get delivered near the door). There's not a ton to do around the area (for us, 2 nights was plenty).
