Dormy inn PREMIUM Shibuya-jingumae

Room does the trick! Small in Japanese fashion but good enough for 2. Bed is soft by Japanese standards! I'm leaving this review explicitly to help travelers looking for Western style beds - it's a basic spring mattress and nothing fluffy, but also won't destroy your hips because it's much more comfortable than the super stiff tatami-like mattresses you find in some hotels. Onsen is tidy and welcoming with handful of toiletries available, about 10 shower stalls, small cold pool (1-3 people at a time) and good size hot onsen. They give the space personality with a projector on the wall scrolling scenes - cute. Only complaint is they have 2 fans circulating the air in the onsen area which may help you hang out longer but makes for a bit of a chill when crawling out! Very walkable location near all the shopping in Shibuya.

Located between Shibuya and Harajuku, it’s convenient for shopping. There are two nice small museums nearby too. Services in the hotel is inclusive, other than public bath room, they offer free ramen in the night. Staff is helpful.

Location is great. The hotel is located on btw Shibuya and omotesando so it's a 10min walk to reach either. It's tugged away from the main street as well so it's not very noisy One word of advice is since the hotel is quite close to the train track, if you are a light sleeper(like me)? Kindly ask the front desk staff to see if they could move u to a room not facing the track side. That helps immensely with the noise. Sauna is great as always. I like the loyly sauna where there's a small drizzle of water coming down to the hot rock. Every 12min or so, a larger dose of water would be splash onto the tocks, creating incredible amount of steam n heat. After that, walk out of the sauna, rinse ur body and take a dip in the cold pool for a quick shock. After that, u will feel like u can conquer the world. The main pool was ok...I feel like there are too much disinfectant in the water and it smells kind of strong chemically so I didn't use it that much.

Asked to pay extra jpy3,000 for my kids. They provide one more set of bath robes and ramen for my kids. So no complaints too. But the public bath smaller than my thoughts. (As I have visited other dormy inn before). Location close to Shibuya.Good if u wanna do shopping and carry back hotel and go out again.

Stayed here for our last 2 days in Japan. We wanted to stay in the Shibuya area and for this area this hotel was reasonably priced (it was still a lot of actual $$$, though). As well as the competitive rates, we also had a great experience at a Dormy hotel in Kyoto. This hotel was Similar, but not at the same standard. The room was very small. Very, very small. But again, competitive for the area. It was a great place to sleep, and the breakfasts were fine. Plus the location is right there in Shibuya, so it offered what we really wanted. Location, location, location.

Location and bathhouse is convenient but that’s about it. This is a hotel for foreigners staying in Tokyo. The breakfast is western style with very few Japanese options. They don’t even have nattō! And you need to ask for the rice and miso soup. Disappointing. Every other DORMY INN (I have stayed at many locations) I have stayed at had nattō and raw egg except this one. Won’t use again

We came here 10 years ago and upon our "hisashiburi" return still love the place. They still have the great evening noodles, great bath and laundry facilities. They also have a great location. So much to do right there in the Shibuya-Harajuku area. They lost a point because their breakfasts now appear to be completely western. There used to be a large "washoku" component.

Location: Conveniently located between Shibuya and Harajuku, but wish it was closer to one subway station. It's a 10 min walk, which is not long, but you really feel it when you're returning to the hotel after a long day and/or when it's raining. Takyubin is right across from the hotel. You might hear train noises at night. Service: Staff is helpful but most are not friendly. Laundry: There is a screen on the tv that shows the laundry status. This is not all that accurate. It says "available" but 1) it might be locked and the key is rented out to a guest or 2) it's unlocked, but it just finished running and another guest's clothes are still inside. Rooms: Small but clean, you get what you pay for. Other nice amenities: Free public bath (onsen) with free yakult / ice cream at certain parts of the day. Free ramen from 9.30 pm onwards.

When I visited Tokyo, my husband and I stayed at a few hotels in different sections of the city to properly experience the different Tokyo wards: Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Taito; we were trying to just walk everywhere, Uber rides are pretty affordable here too. This specific Dormy was clean and very quiet despite being right next to train tracks. The rooms are not very big, but it was still very comfortable. If we had had larger luggage, it would have been a bit of a squeeze. Dormy offers you a lounge set and slippers should you need pajamas or just some comfy clothes to relax in. In our room, the front door leads directly to your room safe, sink, small drink fridge and a small area to hang up a few clothing items. The sleeping/bed chamber is located behind a sliding door where there are two twin beds, a small seating area and wall mounted TV. The beds are simple, there's a small pillow and a fluffy comforter. I was skeptical about the pillow being supportive, but we had the best sleep. The toilet is behind another door and within the water closet, is a door leading to the shower/tub. The water pressure was great and it heated up very quickly. We didn't sign up for the daily breakfast nor checked out the offerings during happy hour, but there's a convenience store(s) nearby, if you are in need of snacks, etc. I would definitely stay here again. It's basic, but this Dormy has everything we needed.

I stayed here the first two days I was in Tokyo. It's a very nice hotel. I happen to be sick for those first two days with a cold from the plane. The breakfast was expensive. The location is down an alley. But it is near lots of shops, food places, and Otamosando. My daughter liked their onsen. I was too sick too try it. I would definitely stay there again though.

GREAT LOCATION! Lots of cool places to shop and use the train within walking distance, such as: Shibuya Crossing - 10min walk Takeshita Street & Harajuku Station - 10min walk Metro Plaza leading into Shibuya Station - 6min walk ----- My bad, didn't take photos of this place because I totally forgot. I got a double, non-smoking room and it's pretty small but we made it work for 2 people with a suitcase each. We were only there to sleep and shower, so it worked out. The room was very clean and neat, and so was the entire hotel. They have washers and dryers to clean your clothes if you need to and there is also an onsen. Tattoos are not allowed. It looked like there was a breakfast offered every morning, but I didn't ask about it so I'm not sure if it's extra (most likely is). Location was actually pretty great. Close to shopping, food and Starbucks. About a 15-20min walk to the Shibuya Crossing and 10min walk to the closest subway/train station. Love that it was just far away enough to be away from all the noise too!

This hotel is down a little alley that is difficult to find unless you are using your GPS. The restaurant serves a decent breakfast that is ¥1800 per person. Good choices of meat, fruit, salad, omelet and French toast. Breakfast is from 6:45 to 9:30. They also serve a complimentary small bowl of ramen from 9:30-11 that is tasty but not needed if you eat a decent dinner. To get out of the station, we always took the Hachiko exit, walked around the building to the right to the corner by BiC camera, and then crossed the street. You do have to take one pedestrian bridge/stairs or do a small walk around by the Nikori building. Rooms were clean, spa was a little small for soaking but it had 8 stalls for washing. There is a free washer in each of the make and female spa areas - free to wash and ¥100 to dry. You will need a code to get into the female spa - front desk will let you know once you check in. We had a superior twin room with two twin beds and a couch. A small desk, coffee and tea, and a little refrig. Bedding was comfortable, beds are firm but pillows are a bit flat. There is a pillow "library" that you can borrow different pillows from - feather, beans or some others. Perfect! Comforter is ultra comfortable and spotlessly clean. Other amenities include a daily bottle of water, plastic brush, ear buds, and a toothbrush every day. For shower caps, a hair band or cotton pads - go to the 2nd floor onsen. The walls are thick and you can't hear the train though it runs gut next to the hotel. The hotel is halfway between Shibuya and Harajuku station. A taxi from the hotel to the new South Gate (for Narita Express) can be found by flagging down a taxi on the main road. Cost was ¥500 - worth it to not have to walk with a suitcase. Or pay ¥920 and the hotel will call and reserve a taxi for you. My family had to catch a taxi early in the morning and at peak time - 6:30 am - from Dormy Inn Shibuya to Shinagawa. Flat cost for a large taxi was ¥4000.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights while visiting Tokyo. This location is between Harajuku Station and Shibuya Station. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to the station, which is a bit long when you've been walking all day seeing the sights. The bathhouse was nice and has a hot and cold bath. Yes, you have to go in naked but they separate the baths by sex. I particularly liked that they has a free washer and a dryer for 100 yen for 20 minutes. So if you plan on staying at 3 hotels like we did, this was perfect for the in-between hotel to do cheap laundry. That way you don't have to pack so much clothes! I've read that there used to be complimentary breakfast, but that is no longer the case. I would rather eat elsewhere if I have to pay for breakfaat in a hotel. There is, however, free ramen from 9pm to 11pm each night. It won't taste like Ichiran, but it's a good late night snack if you're hungry after the hot bath. There is also a free shuttle each morning to the Shibuya station. This was definitely a great perk to save on some walking. I wished they offered it all day, but they don't. You have to make a reservation the day before in order to utilize this. The room is comfortable, the AC can get very cold. There is an empty fridge that can freeze your water bottles and they give you 2 free waters per day. They offer slippers and clothes you can wear for the bathhouse or to sleep in. They make it very homey, or dormy. There are trains that come by but they're not that loud. It does affect the wifi everytime the train comes by. I may stay again only for the washer and dryer.

If you're not willing or able to spend the big bucks on the larger chain hotels, and you want to stay in Shubiya/Harajuku area, look no further friends. I love nice hotels. They are such a splurge, and worth it in every way, but sadly, I can't afford the life of luxury that I so desire. I need just enough at a good price. Sound like you? Stop what you are doing and book here then. Everything about the hotel is 5 stars. From the sauna, hot tub, spa area downstairs, to the buffet breakfast to the staff and most importantly, the location. Honestly, just a short walk to both the Shibuya neighborhood and the Harajuku 'hood. Think: all the shopping and all the food. Not only that, but 2 different subway lines are at your disposal. So, any problems at all? Yes, but the great outweighs the average. - The room is teeny, but they maximize space so well.. but, it's tiny. Beds are hard, but again... a Japan thing? - Breakfast buffet. This was included in our rate and for free it's awesome. So many options, both Japanese and Western style. However, the Ritz it is not. A solid offering to fill the belly before heading out to fill the belly more, but nothing mind blowing. Oh, yes... late night ramen! I didn't partake, but they offer free ramen from 9-11pm. How great is that? I did a ton of research and for the price, Dormy Inn will not disappoint.

This was the first hotel I booked during my Japan trip planning. While it was a bit of a walk from the JR Line, especially when you're lugging around two full-size suitcases, I did enjoy the perks from staying at this place. 1. Ramen snack at 9 pm. It's not your typical put-hot-water-in-Top-Ramen-container. Their kitchen cooks ramen with some toppings in a bowl for you. So so good! Only one per person though! =/ 2. Breakfast is included with your stay! You get a choice of Western or Japanese. BF got one type while I got the other. Both are delicious! 3. Massages here are such a deal. It was about $50 USD for an hour and it was honestly the best message I ever had. Strong consistent pressure throughout the entire massage. Very relaxing. 4. Relative proximity of Shibuya and Harajuku and all your shopping needs. Kiddy Land and Hello Kitty store are just some of the places within walking distance. When I'm back in Japan again, Dormy Inn Premium Shibuya Jingumae will be on my list of places to stay! I miss the massages and food already!

Great budget hotel. Not much pricier than APA, for example, and worth the extra money. The spa did not disappoint; lots of stalls, nice sauna, and big tub. The room did the job (standing shower) with a good bed and free bottled water. Its size will only bum out those unfamiliar with Japanese lodging. The pillow was too hard, but there's a pillow "library" on the second floor with myriad options. The staff was very friendly, and saved my butt as I left my Osaka apartment key in my room after checking out. Yes, it's a bit of a walk: 10 minutes from Shibuya or Harajuku stations. And it's not a "posh" location. But I really enjoyed my stay and recommend it.

I booked this for location and based on reading a ton of reviews. Staff spoke decent English, great breakfast and late night soba noodles! A bonus (though we didn't use it) were the bikes you can borrow free for 2 hours followed by a reasonable hourly fee and we got a free shuttle to Shibuya station which was very helpful because of our heavy luggage. Room was ok, pretty standard clean rooms and cozy, note you will not be able to fully open the 2 large luggage at the same time unless you put one on the bed. This location was quite central to what we wanted to see and we had a comfortable stay.

$225 USD per night for a hotel room that feels more like a cruise ship cabin. The room barely fits a hard double bed with a small space to put your luggage but nothing else. The AC barely works so try not to come when it's hot season. We had it on 20' the entire time but the room still felt hot. I guess all hotels in Tokyo are small and expensive but don't expect anything "nice" here. Our hotels.com package included daily breakfast which was just okay as well. Mix of Japanese and American breakfast items.

My stay at Dormy Inn was pretty fantastic. This particular hotel is located in between Shibuya Station and Harajuku/Meijijingumae station. It's about a 5-10 minute walk from either station though the hotel is slightly closer to Harajuku Station. It's a medium-sized hotel and the room I stayed in featured a queen bed. The actual decor is quite modern, though a bit on the small side. The one issue I had with the room arrangement was that the sliding door between the bathroom/sink area and the bed features a semi-translucent window, meaning I had to wash my hands in the dark so I wouldn't wake my partner up. We had a view.. of a cemetery. Needless to say, we didn't look out the windows very much, but it didn't really hinder the experience at all and we knew that this was a possibility going in. There's an public bath located on the 2nd floor, separated by gender. The one I went to wasn't busy, though somewhat oddly, they put a bunch of cut lemons into the bath. It was a nice smell, but not something I've seen done before. For breakfast, there's a Western and Japanese selection each day. Food was great. There's also ramen service at night, which I didn't try. This is also complementary. Wi-fi was reliable.

Also known as the Hotel Dormy Inn, this is a great budget hotel for any traveller. Located down a back street, don't let the looks deceive you, this is a great location. It is walking distance from Shibuya station and a few other subway stations. They also have a complimentary shuttle should you be traveling with a lot of bags. In addition, the service was impeccable. The morning breakfast was excellent offering either western style or Japanese style options. At night they offer a ramen bar. For the inexperienced traveller, be forewarned that the rooms are very very small. If you are traveling with more than two people and expect to sleep here comfortably, think again. My wife and I found it to be a great option though. I would definitely stay here again.

Great breakfast with good green tea and lots of variety. Excellent location. The clean rooms are tiny! It's a little cramped for a stay longer than 3-4 days but the perks are good and the staff is friendly, polite helpful. I didn't use the onsen but it's nice that it's available. They provide pjs and bed slippers. The water pressure is good. It's a ten minute walk to the famous Shibuya Crossing.

First, kudos on the awesome Western + Japanese breakfast buffet. Then it's very quiet despite the location, you will sleep well. Finally the bed quality is top notch = even better for your sleep.

I really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The rooms are nice and clean and the staff is very friendly. In addition, the breakfast buffet and the late night ramen was delicious! We were even able to rent their motor assisted bikes for free and enjoyed a bike ride through Shibuya at night. If you are looking for a place to stay in Shibuya, definitely check this place out!

This far exceeded my expectations. Was small but not suffocatingly so. It was bigger than some of the other places I had seen. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The place was super clean. Loved the spa and the electric bicycles. And the location was great. Would definitely stay again.
