Managed yo get good price for 3 weeknights.Stayed in many many dormy in the past. As usual, the onsen is very good with cold, outside n inside pool. Free stick icecream, washing of clothes n night noodles. BF is quite standard and variety change slightly. Room small, bed hard, service good. However. Pricing has at times shot through the roof. Other like minded newer onsen hotels are entering market.

Room was small but functional for one person and one can easily open a large suitcase on the floor which is not possible for most of the business hotels in Japan. Despite being on the first floor (floor 2) there was no sound from outside (a car park), no sound from any neighbours. The onsen was a major highlight open throughout afternoon, night and early morning so one can avoid the crowds. I will definitely stay here again if I return to Akita.

Plenty of attractions nearby like the park opposite and the Akita Inu station behind.
The onsen on the top floor was also enjoyable, and had free dessert right outside. There's also free noodles at night for supper.

we stay at this hotel specifically because it has an onsen (hot springs) which is a very nice one and great to have on a cold winters eve. the dormy inn chain has lots of other great little perks (free ramen before bed, popsicles after the bath, etc...) and the service is wonderful. however, you should note that people with tattoos are not welcome in the bath (a rule in Japan that needs to be changed!)

Excellent location across from Senshu Park and on the bus line, and a convenient few minutes walk from the west side of Akita Station. Also on the 100 Yen \"tourist\" bus route. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. As an American who knows some Japanese (but not enough to read a lot of text) it would have been nice to have detailed English instructions on procedures and etiquette for using the hot spring/spa. I wanted to try it wasn't confident enough to use it. But we were so busy with other activities it wasn't really an issue.

Great stay

Had a great stay at the Dormy Inn Akita. The location is about a 10 minute walk away from the station so it's not directly next door but still decent; there's a covered arcade that you can take but for the last 2-3 minutes, you won't have any shelter. The room itself is comfy enough and modern. The best parts of the stay were the in-house bath on the 11th floor (felt like an onsen and was particularly nice with the snow coming down at the rotenburo) and the free ramen they offer to guests from 930-11pm. We opted out of cleaning to get a free cup noodle and also used the free washing machines on the first night. Lots of places to eat nearby and there's a 7-11 just around the corner in the back. Only downside for me was the wifi being relatively slow in the evening. Not the cheapest place in the list, but definitely worth the extra money!

Dormy Inn is special as it offers hot spring. So, its great in that sense. Room is clean and comfortable. However, we were given a room which needs to go down a staircase (after taking the lift up to the 11th floor) which was inconvenient with our heavy suitcases. We ve stayed in other Dormy Inns so it was only this building which was a bit weird with the staircase.

Great hotel 5 minutes from the station, recommend!

I had a lovely experience at Dormy Inn, it was only about 5 minutes walk from the hotel. I checked in about 9PM with some very friendly staff, it seems a reasonably small hotel. The semi-double room was perfect for one person (but maybe two suitcases or two people would be a bit difficult for this room), very clean and new with a nice view overlooking the park and lake. Good heating, hotel clothes provided, and an excellent buffet breakfast. Mostly Japanese food but also some western style food.

The bath on the top floor was lovely, and I also had a massage which costs extra but it is very pleasant and not too expensive.

I did not seem speak to any staff who spoke a lot of English, although this did not matter as they were very lovely and courteous and usually got what I mean anyway.

I would definitely recommend this hotel. Close to the station and food and convenience stores, and a short walk to some galleries and the park. I had a very intimate and pleasant stay in Akita at Dormy Inn!

A short walk from the JR station, this hotel is clean but small. Good for those who travel light, it has barely enough space for 2 people. Add luggage and you may not have enough space to sit or stand. That aside, it's comfy. There's no bath tub in the room... only a shower, but they have a public bath facility on the upper floor.
