Dormy inn PREMIUM Nanba ANNEX — Hotel in Osaka

This hotel was one of the most enjoyable hotel stays we had during our trip to Japan. I really wanted to have a true onsen experience, and while looking for hotels, I found that the Dormy Inn Premimum Namba Natural Springs actually has natural hot springs in their hotel! In addition, their location is within walking distance to Dotonbori, and all major subway stations. Well worth booking an extra day!||||We were so thankful that the hotel was willing to hold onto our luggage for a few hours until check-in happened at 3PM. We got to travel and explore the sights being a few pounds lighter. Checking in later was a snap, and they provided us the free wifi password, the daily pass code into the women's onsen (men just use the room key card), and the nightly free soba noodles - a signature of the hotel! We included breakfast with our stay - both serving Western and traditional Japanese food - which was a huge plus. ||||We were on the 6th floor, that overlooked the busy, bustling city streets, that illuminated at night. I asked for a deluxe queen size room, non-smoking, and there was plenty of space for us Americans. We were able to spread out our luggage and have space to use their arm chairs and table in the room for late night runs to Lawson. They even gave us clothes, slippers, and a basket to bring to the onsen! They were so comfy, that I was in the slippers and spa clothes most of the time at the hotel. The keep a CLEAN facility, and the onsen was of no exception.||||Each night I went into the onsen, I was the only non-Asian there. I really didn't care, and tried to be as respectful of the space as possible. You can shower, rinse off and do your hair before you being onsen-ing. They provide you all the comforts you would except in your own bathroom - shampoo, conditioner, lotion, hair dryer, combs, hair ties, q tips, etc. and much more! The onsen included a hot spring that looked like you were bathing in a bamboo forest with twinkling fairy lights, and the other looked like a swimming pool. Make sure you visit the steam room too with three big tile chairs and TV! So cool! This nightly ritual was really a wonderful night cap for me; it was great to see how other women use the space and how they massage their legs or stretch. I wish we had this in NY.||||The food at the breakfast was although repetitive, it was hearty and plentiful. You got eggs, potatoes, smoked cooked salmon, miso soup, corn soup, tofu, veggies, coleslaw, and much more. Again, everything was served fresh and the space was immaculate. ||||I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone that is making a stop to Osaka for any length of time; this place...

Stayed at the Premium Namba Annex location first week of November 2023. Booked through expedia and was surprised at what we got the price!

Room and amenities were all modern and clean.

Room: We booked a Queen Deluxe Room and it was a massive space. The room had a long hallway with the toilet, shower, closet and vanity separated by a turn to a very spacious bedroom with its own sliding door. the bedroom was spacious enough that we even had a lounge table and 2 chairs in addition to the working space. We were able to open up both luggages in the bedroom and still have space to walk around.

Service and Amenities: We did not opt in for the cleaning service, but fresh towels, trashbags were left at our door each day. I made use of the on-site onsen (I had to cover up tattoos but the front desk staff were very helpful in educating me and also sharing stores where i could buy wraps) and was impressed with the cleanliness and spaciousness. Plenty of shower stalls and 3 different temperature baths.

Each day there were free offerings: Probiotic drinks in the morning Popsicles/ice cream throughout the afternoon and evening Shoyu Ramen at night for a few hours. This was fantastic as we were able to go downstairs to the lawson and purchase some proteins and add-ons to enhance this. Made for a nice option for late dinner.

Location: While the location is a bit inconvenient as its 5-10minute walk between stations, cant really complain as you're still located in Namba and have plenty of access to restaurants, bars and konbinis. Another annoying bit was just the noise. As we were there halloween weekend, the city was quite lively; out of anyone's control though as we did choose to stay in Namba so it was expected.

Overall: Great value and my future go-to for stays in Japan. I was not familiar with the brand as I usually stayed in APA or Toyoko business hotels. But for a few bucks more. This was a great option. I actually ended up cancelling a hotel stay i had in Tokyo and replaced it with a Dormy Inn booking...
