Dormy Inn Premium Shibuya Jingumae

We had never been to Japan so could only go off the info on our booking website and it seemed good for a first try.||It was better than good though, the breakfast was excellent with Japanese and Western elements, the rooms were smallish (but still better than some we've had in London), well maintained, the shower was good and the fridge had fresh water bottles in it every day. The air conditioning took a bit to work out (use Google translate to see what each button does) but once going it was good. The pillow was a bit thin for me so I asked for a thicker one and it was provided. It seems a common request, they knew exactly what I wanted and we saw another guest make the same request a few days later. Toiletries are provided and topped up each day.||Laundry washing was free, as was detergent. Use of the dryer was 100 yen.|It's about a 10 minute walk to Shibuya or Harajuku stations and there are plenty of places to eat within a short distance.

Great location, near Shibuya and Omote Sando. The rooms were clean, I particularly liked the hard mattress in the rooms. Good water pressure. Public baths (men and women separate) available. Very happy with my stay here.

Nice hotel in a great location! A short walk from Shibuya and Harajuku stations. The rooms are a bit small and old but worked fine for one person. I appreciated the daily towel refresh that they provided even when I didn’t want full room cleaning. The welcome snack was also delicious :)

NOT a hotel more of a HOSTEL Absolutely horrible! Got a double bed,had my gf with me front desk charged additional ¥4000 per night cause of second person is sharing ONE bed. Rooms are 100sq feet,if you sharing this room you can not have two luggages because it will NOT fit (not joking). You will need to open one by one and close and stack it away,one side of the bed is against the wall so need to slide down to exit and hop over the luggage. Same wall is facing train tracks so you hear and feel a train go by every 5-6 minutes so be prepared to have ZERO sleep and than wonder streets of Tokyo for hours. Mattress is rock hard and short feet hanging off,never seen it this hard before,pillow is towel thin only 1 pillow available per person. No cleaning available so be prepared to sleep on same sheets for 1 week,IF you require cleaning/fresh sheets it's ¥1500(no joke).they have a massive tv that takes up entire dresser.You get two comp drinks per day and it's 2 paper cups not bottles and fill it up with water or pop at the pop machine. Steam room is wonderful,so if you are planning NOT to sleep and steam the entire time this is the spot for you!

Small rooms, if you have larger luggage you’ll have a hard time unpacking. Laundry room is super convenient and because of its small size, the hotel didn’t seem crowded. Overall, a great hotel with convenient location, close to several train stations and lots of food/shops.

A bit outside of central Shibuya, but nice and quiet. About a ten minute walk from Shibuya station, so very convenient to get to and from the airport (about an hour ride). I would like to especially thank the lovely receptionist who was able to locate the umbrella I left in my room after I checked out! I enjoyed the breakfast selection and the late night ramen :) Comfortable, clean rooms. A good choice for Shibuya.

Amazing hotel for the price – highly recommend! The Dormy Inn is centrally located in a popular part of Shibuya (but down a side street so you don’t get the street noise). It’s a short walk from major stations which is a must for Tokyo since you will take public transport everywhere. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice the public bathing area was, they have a public bath and cold plunge. They even have popsicles for after – who doesn’t love a free treat?! Also, Yamato shipping is located directly across the street so you can ship your luggage to the next destination overnight (we shipped to Kyoto) for super cheap.

The community bath is open all night and is kept in immaculate condition. It's a great way to soothe sore feet before/after sightseeing in Tokyo or recuperate, late-night, while adjusting to a new time zone. Includes hot tub, showers, sauna, cold bath, and assorted toiletries.

Nestled in the heart of Harajuku, Dormy Inn offers a tranquil haven amidst Tokyo's vibrant energy. Upon arrival, you're embraced by warm hospitality and a sense of calm that sets the tone for your stay. The rooms, though cozy, are intelligently designed and feature all the comforts of home. The plush beds ensure a restful night's sleep, while modern amenities cater to your every need. Dormy Inn's standout feature is its inclusive breakfast, a delightful spread of both local and international fare to kick-start your day. Additionally, guests are treated to complimentary popsicles and probiotics in the onsen area, adding a refreshing and health-conscious touch to their stay. Speaking of the onsen, it's a rejuvenating retreat where you can soak away the day's stress in thermal waters. The complimentary amenities enhance the experience, ensuring a moment of pure relaxation. What truly sets Dormy Inn apart is its prime location near Harajuku Station, providing easy access to the neighborhood's eclectic shopping, dining, and entertainment options. For a memorable stay in Tokyo that combines comfort, convenience, and thoughtful wellness touches, Dormy Inn Harajuku is the perfect choice.

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.

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.

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.

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.
