Dormy inn Ikebukuro — Hotel in Tokyo

This hotel is great if u like onsen. We like to use the onsen every night after an exhausting day walking. Then enjoy a free ramen or ice cream. There’s free small simple ramen each night on the 2nd floor, free coffee, at the lobby, yakult & ice cream (15th fl) ( during specific time slot’s) We never used our room shower cos it’s tiny. We go to the public bathroom where u wash up sitting on a stool, then enjoy the Onsen & Sauna. Free drinks available at a drink machine in the sauna, also toiletries like shampoo & such. At the ladies washroom u can choose from a selection of shampoo & conditioner. But u can’t use the onsen if u have a tattoo. On the 15th floor, washing machine available for free, u gotta pay to use the dryer, but is quite cheap, we used about 300 yen to dry a full load of clothing. There’s also free manga, & a smoking area. U get pick up extra towels at the reception, also stuffs like toothbrush, razor etc. Hotel is within walking distance to many kombini’s, supermarkets ( I recommend Seiyu) & Sunshine City. Room is quite small though, but we had no trouble with 2 large suitcases. I like it that u can open the window to get fresh air, & it’s not far from the Ikebukuro station where all the shopping, food & actions are! I love going to the food street at Loft & Parco. Tobu is also amazing with lot’s of food & the biggest Daiso in Tokyo. We used the airport limousine bus to travel to & from Narita. Bus stop is at Sunshine City Prince hotel, ( 5 mins walk all flat terrain). I would suggest the hotel make extra space by hanging up certain things, like the hair dryer, television. The walls are very empty, there can be more hooks, planks available for guests to place their stuffs or hand up a bag or jacket. I also have a slight complain about the water kettle in our room. It won’t stop automatically when at boiling point, we asked the reception to change it, she said the cleaning lady will. But we found out the next day the kettle is still the same! We gave up cos sometimes communication in English isn’t totally ok with some staffs & just manually switch the kettle off every time it boils. But all in all just some minor bugs, we did enjoyed our week-long stay here & will certainly consider...

As a first-time traveler to Japan, staying at Dormy Inn Ikebukuro Hot Spring was an absolute delight. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by how seamless and welcoming the experience was. The location is perfect—everything I needed was within walking distance, including shops, restaurants, and attractions. For added convenience, there’s a bus stop right in front of the hotel, making it incredibly easy to explore the city and beyond.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable. They provided great recommendations for nearby dining and sightseeing, and their attentiveness made me feel truly valued as a guest.

One of the highlights of my stay was the onsen (hot spring) at the hotel. It was beautifully designed, clean, and incredibly relaxing—exactly what I needed after long days of exploring Tokyo. The experience felt authentic and peaceful, offering a perfect retreat from the city's hustle and bustle.

The room itself was cozy, modern, and well-equipped with everything I could need. The bed was comfortable, and I appreciated the thoughtful amenities like the free ramen service in the evening, which was a lovely touch.

Dormy Inn Ikebukuro Hot Spring provided a wonderful blend of comfort, convenience, and authentic Japanese hospitality. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo, especially first-time travelers looking for a warm and welcoming place to stay. I can't wait...

The hot spring is definitely the reason for me to come back to this hotel again! The room was quite clean with no odour but the TV and Aircon remote controls were dirty and sticky. I had to clean them myself using wet tissues. During my stay at the hotel, the chambermaid only changed the bedsheets and towels, didn’t vacuum the floor to remove some tissue shreds on the carpet. The staff were friendly and helpful. However, the night-shift front desk staff were not very conversant in English. I had to use Google Translate to communicate with them. The location is not very near to the train station, about 10 min walk. The plus point is that, the hotel is within 5 min walking distance from the Airport Limousine stop at Sunshine City Prince Hotel. Hotel breakfast spread was limited. I hope the hotel could provide a better selection of the salad ingredients. I’ll be a repeat customer at the other hotels under the same group when I’m visiting the other...
