Dormy Inn Premium Hotel Otaru is a conveniently placed hotel in the heart of Otaru. It is one of twelve Dormy Inns in Hokkaido. It is right by the train station and is only a few minutes walk from the famous Otaru Canal, and other attractions. This hotel is one of many in Otaru but it is on the cheaper end of the spectrum. It is on the older side and this is evident from the furniture in the foyer, and on the furnishings in the room. But that aside, let’s look at what this hotel DOES offer. It has underground parking (which has an extra charge), there is a restaurant here and the hotel has a buffet breakfast (which does get quite busy). The main attraction for this hotel is the onsen (public hot spring). The onsen is nice but not exceptional. It is on the smaller size and the outside section is roofed over. The hallway to the onsen is probably the nicest part of this hotel.
The rooms are on the small size and only half of them offer a view over the train station. The decor is meant to evoke the romanticism of the Taisho era (1912 – 1926. Warm lighting with lantern like designs. Again, the furniture here could use a renovation. Overall, if you are looking for a nice bed, and an onsen, then this hotel will suit your needs and at a cheap price for the area. If you are looking for something a little more luxurious, then another hotel might suffice. But this is good enough for a weary traveller in a good location, plus they offer free ramen!
