Dormy Inn Premium Shibuya Jingumae

Ok, the location is excellent you’re a 5 minute walk from the Shibuya Crossing, you’ve amenities everywhere you turn, the room is small but comfortable, the staff are friendly and helpful. |Couple of markers, not moans: the complimentary drink is a soft one served in a paper cup. I don’t need a champagne flute on a cushion, but it’s a little misleading. Second, the pillows are two things; paper thin or rock hard. If you mix the two you’re good.|Lastly, it’s right beside a train track. Didn’t bother us but if you are a light sleeper it might. |That said, if you’re using the hotel as a base for exploring the city, and not spending a lot of time in there, it’s tremendous.

NOT a hotel more of a HOSTELAbsolutely 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!I personally do NOT recommend this "hostel"

Service and location were fine, but the rooms were pretty bad. The main reason for a hotel is to be able to sleep. The train makes that very hard. You will need ear plugs to get any sleep and even then it is difficult. Not worth the price although many hotels in Tokyo seem to be as expensive. Stayed at a luxury hotel in Kyoto for the same price which was much better than this one. Would not stay again.

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 :)

I really liked staying here. I am only going to stay at Dormy Inns from now on in Japan. The onsen and all the extras included are so nice. The rooms are small and basic but that's ok. The pillows were so flat. But it is a great location.

This hotel is OK. But there are bigger, better rooms at similar price levels to be had in Tokyo. It is also right next to very busy train tracks. They do seem to know that, and try to make up for it with little cute extras like free ramen in the lobby at night. Things like that do make stay here more pleasant. First, the positives: 1) It's very, very clean. At the same time they seem to have adopted the horrible policy many hotels in Japan go by these days where they don't clean your room unless you turn the "please clean my room" light on before 10AM. Otherwise, they just leave a bag of towels hanging on your door. When they do clean your room, they do an excellent job. 2) Beds are really very comfortable. Some of those cute extras I refer to include a pillow menu and I think a soap menu. However, they don't tell you about this. So please be informed by this review that they do exist, and don't hesitate to ask. (I only know because I had stayed here before COVID and the various types of pillows were available for the taking, outside the bath house.) Neutral: 1) The rooms--at least those I've stayed in--have no baths (which is not typical for a Japanese hotel), and the showers are so small, I mostly went down to the bath house to wash. Which is OK; the hours of the bath house are very liberal, it was never crowded, and they do give you cute pajamas. Now the negatives: 1) Desolation. The hotel is in a very busy area during the day. And if you want to use most of your time shopping in Omotesando and Harajuku, I won't talk you out of it. However, no one lives near the hotel. So at night there is not a soul to be seen outside. Even though it's safe, because it's Tokyo, my companion was afraid to set a foot out onto the street except during daylight hours. 2) Noise: unless you are in the very front of the hotel, there are huge train tracks with many busy line for trains going directly in back of the hotel, and soundproofing is not sufficient. You will hear very noisy trains going by every few seconds (you read that right: every few seconds) between about 6AM til after midnight. If you are in a room in the back or side of the hotel (which most are) forget about it.

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.

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.
