Dormy Inn Abashiri

First time trying Dormy Inn after seeing several Instagram reviews. Indeed the experience was nice - free yakult in morning and ice cream from noon to evening. Also the free ramen from 930pm. The room though small but the pillow was so firm and nice to sleep.

I love the well design room, the complimentary ramen for supper, and the public bath facilities. The hotel is about 15 mins walk from the train station and there are many eateries close by. The room is considered quite spacious for 1 person.

Great place for a stay over. Surrounded by eateries. Onsen is great. Ramen at night and Yakult provided in morning. Room size small. Just bring over night back to room if possible. Not big luggage.

Difficult to reach hotel contact. I left my glasses in hotel after check out/left. I sent email to hotel address, but no response so far. Room size is a bit small and has limited car park space. Restaurant has not dinner offers.

It was a typical Dormy Inn hotel, room was equipped with essentials but small. There was a convenience store opposite which should be sufficient. Breakfast was very good.

The Dormy Inn is a chain 3-star onsen hotel that you can find across Japan. This is the first one I have stayed in but it certainly won't be the last! The one in Abashiri is situated on the river between the train station and bus terminal, both of which will be useful for getting to and exploring Abashiri. Reception is on the ground floor and you need a keycard to access any of the higher levels of the building. The onsen and sauna are on the top floor and are split by gender. The onsen part has both indoor and outdoor parts. The hotel rooms come with a comfortable (and softer, for Japanese standard) bed with a desk, telephone, television, reading light, etc. that you would expect in a Japanese hotel. It has slightly more space than other, comparable hotels. I stayed a week in mid-July 2024 and would happily stay here again! The staff were courteous, all the signs were in at least English and Japanese (and often also in simplified Chinese and Korean), and everything was very clear. I had no problems or issues of any kind. I did not eat breakfast at the hotel, so I am unable to provide any feedback on this topic. Conclusion: I will happily stay at this and other Dormy Inn's in the future.
