Dormy Inn Osaka Tanimachi

I stayed at the Dormy Inn in Osaka for just one night, and for only $52, it was an absolute gem! This budget-friendly hotel exceeded all expectations, offering so many thoughtful amenities that it felt like a luxury stay. The highlights included free ramen and ice cream at night—a unique and delightful touch—and the provision of pajamas and slippers for added comfort. The free washer and inexpensive dryer (just 100 yen for 20 minutes) were incredibly convenient, especially for travelers packing light. The public hot bath was another standout feature, providing a relaxing way to unwind after a long day of exploring. The room itself was fantastic. The bed was super comfortable, and the blackout blinds ensured a perfect night’s sleep. I also loved that the bed was accessible from three sides—a rare design in Japan that made the room feel surprisingly spacious. One particularly convenient feature was the self-check-in kiosk, which made the check-in and check-out process quick and easy, especially for international visitors who may not speak Japanese. Additionally, the 11 a.m. checkout time is relatively late for Japan, giving guests a more relaxed start to their day. Location-wise, the hotel is about a 6-minute walk to the subway and a 20-30 minute stroll to Osaka Castle. While there aren’t many activities immediately nearby, the hotel’s convenience and outstanding amenities more than compensate for this. For a budget-friendly option, Dormy Inn checks all the boxes and then some. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Osaka. Truly a perfect stay!

Good location and same wonderful facilities, add-on benefits (ice cream, night ramen etc.) as other dormy inn hotels. It appeared to be crowded sometimes in hot spring and elevator. However, the biggest disappointment of this stay was the service for breakfast. The food is amazing and delicious for sure, but please make sure that you let customer know what exactly the ‘closing time’ means. Is it the closing time for food supply or customers must leave immediately after the closing time even if they haven’t finished their food yet. For other dormy inn hotels or any hotels I have ever lived on this planet, it means the first, but it seems for your hotel, it means the second. I was interrupted multiple times by your staffs and asked to leave during my breakfast without knowing the real meaning of your so called ‘closing time’. Good food but worst breakfast experience ever in a hotel.

Room is dirty. Some small equipment on floor hit my family’s foot. Be aware to ware slippers all time. Not international friendly. If you are international, staff at the reception is ignored and her face is always upset for us. We will never ever come back again.
