Dormy Inn Nagano

Great hotel only minutes from Nagano Station. The Onsen on the 11th floor was fantastic and has both indoor and outdoor baths all free to use by guests. The staff are helpful and friendly and the breakfast buffet which included tempura prawns was very good. There is a free coffee and juice station in the foyer and a seven eleven next door. Perfect.

I am neurodivergent (autistic) solo traveller and am sensitive to noise and heat so will be reviewing from that perspective. I thought the location of the hotel was good. Relatively quick and easy to find from Nagano station and within walking distance to tourist sites like Zenkoji Temple (or just walking to station for day trips elsewhere). The entrance was nice and welcoming. You can borrow umbrellas for free which was great for the rain and snow I experienced. The staff also spoke good English and were friendly and welcoming. Both check in and check out processes are easy and quick, and I could leave my baggage there during the day after checkout for a later pickup which was handy. The room itself was good. Nice sized bedroom and bed, with a window you can open to outside if you want some fresh air, although it can be pretty noisy so may not work for you. There's also good heating and air-conditioning, as well as a super warm doona so that's good. The onsen was quite nice on the male side, with an outside onsen available that is quite interesting to experience when it's also snowing outside. Pretty cool highlight. You also get a free ice-cream or probiotic yoghurt the onsen after visiting depending on when you visit. The noise from other rooms and outside was ok. Didn't have any issues myself and found it quite good. Just make sure to close your sliding door panel thing so you don't hear the fan noise from bathroom. Wifi/internet was also really good and worked well.

What a lovely surprise. Fairly new hotel. Rooms are compact but good for Japanese standards. Free coffee and apple juice in reception. A gift in the room for the children. The onsen on the 11th floor is one of the best I encountered. Free late night Ramen. Plenty of decent restaurants right outside the hotel.

The onsen was wonderful! Just the thing after long days out and about as tourists! The complementary pajamas were comfy - my husband could wear them down to reception to get coffee in the morning. The complementary apple juice was a really nice touch too! I wish we had booked all of our trip around Japan in Dormy Inns!

Good location short walk across train station. Friendly staff spoke English easy checkin. Free onsen and bath was great. Breakfast was really good nice selection of Japanese and Western food. Free ramen and ice cream at night. Twin bedroom good size room comfortable bed . Asked for extra pillow no problem. Like that the bathroom sink is outside from bath and toilet area. Complimentary water and snack in refrigerator daily room cleaning was a plus.
