Dormy Inn Kawasaki Natural Hot Spring

We chose this hotel for two reasons. Firstly, we wanted to visit friends in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Shonan, and Kawasaki seemed like a good centre for this, and it worked out well. Only a short and interesting walk from the stations. Secondly, we loved the idea of an onsen in the middle of a city. The onsen lived up to expectations. Some days I used it three times (I don't like saunas, so didn't use it). The Yakult and free ice-cream was a welcome treat. Never needed to use the room shower! And the washing machines were free, and ¥100 dried the clothes. As a result we returned to the UK with almost no dirty laundry! Room cleaning was at our discretion, and worked very well, as did towel and sheet replacement. The Superior Queen room was very comfortable for an extended stay. We didn't use the hotel breakfast, or free ramen, but appreciated the integrated 7-11 which allowed us to create our own breakfasts. There were even microwaves available if we'd wanted to use them to heat up food (we didn't). And many choices of places to eat around the hotel. The izakaya around the place offered a wonderful selection of food. Staff very helpful and cooperative, especially on the last day when we needed to use our room, and a taxi for a night flight from Haneda.

We were disappointed, since we were staying for 12 nights, to find there was very little space to put clothes, although there were hangers and hanging space, there were no drawers for socks, underwear, etc. The breakfast seemed a little pricey, and there was no clear indication of what it consisted of. I think if there had been a cheaper "Continental" option (coffee, juice and toast/croissant), we would have used that.

Hardware is very good in this hotel, the set out of the room, the hot spring, and the top floor common area is nice. Free noodles and once cream also nice.

Too many people and often take ages to access the elevator to get between floors. In addition, too much non-Japanese doesn’t know or care about the rules in the hot spring which makes using the hot spring less enjoyable (e.g. talking loud in the hot spring, not cleaning themselves before getting into the hot spring, and not washing themselves thoroughly causing the hot spring to be floating with soap on multiple occasions). In addition, the walk from the train station is not the most enjoyable as you will often be lured by some red light district shops on the way.

Great location about 10 to 15 minutes from the train stations. Reasonable parking cost at 2000 yen a day. Massive amount of good restaurants around the hotel, and even a 24/7 convenience store right on the hotel. Hotspring at the top floor have great view over the city. Also have a massive rest area top floor with great Japanese goody。。。♡

Lot of non Japanese group tourists stay at this hotels. Many don't understand any Japanese etiquette... ie, running into the changing room with shoes on and bring in older kids into the opposite gender changing room.

I really like its about 10--15 mins walk from the Kawasaki station, then you can go to anywhere, say 20 mins to Haneda and 40 mins to the most of touristy sites in Tokyo.. Why pay the Tokyo rate, when you can stay at a hot spring hotel like this, where I came from, what I paid here cant even get me to say Motel 6. Hot Spring at the top floor, its very relax at night to wind down the day. I only tried the Soba noodle after 9:30pm once, good way to save money, it's included. Before this trip, I didnt know this Dormy chain, pretty sure I will use it at Kyoto and other towns.

Obviously I picked no daily housekeeping, not sure if there is an option for that, even with fee, it wasnt a big deal.

As usual for all dormy chain, room is clean, with all amenities that I need. Nice onsen, free night ramen, ice-cream, etc. Staff is very helpful and polite. I stay at in most of my trips to Japan. Room size 20m2 at this price is also very good. You get a bit more space to place luggage and pack your stuff. A bit out side of Tokyo center but transportation is very convenient, so there is no problem. Direct bus available to Mitsui Outlet Kisarazu, only takes 45 mins. Many shopping malls, restaurant near Kawasaki station.

Nothing really, I love Dormy inn. Keep the Onsen well-serviced, or maybe make it a bit bigger to handle higher usage on weekends would be nice. This is probably the main reason I pay extra from other chains such as APA or Toyoko.

Spacious twin room by Japanese standards in as new condition . Bed a little firm but comfortable. Nice onsen. Individual room air conditioners. Window could be opened for fresh air. Effective block out curtains. Good WiFi. Great laundry facilities with separate washers (free) and inexpensive very effective dryers. Keikyu Kawasaki is only 13 mins from Haneda.

A little far from the station. 2300 for breakfast is expensive. Poor English support at reception. They don't send takkyubin. You can send it from the attached 711 (Kuroneko) or Sagawa across the road. I asked for a high floor but was given 231, on the second floor, the same level as the restaurant. There was some traffic noise though not intrusive.No noise from other rooms. No coffee in the room, only green tea.

Really great onsen -- we loved it so much, we extended our stay for another week. Be careful not to get the water in your eyes since my wife and I both got an eye infection. They provide free ramen in the evening (you can ask for more). There is an attached 7-Eleven so you can buy stuff for the ramen and make it a meal. For one week, we bought the breakfast and it had shrimp tempura, which I love. Amenities included yokut, massage chairs, manga reading, toothbrushes, toothpaste, matcha powder. The water fountain in the onsen dressing room seems filtered (it tastes a lot better than tap), so if you buy a 1.5L mineral water bottle, you can refill it using the water fountain. I like to put 6 packets of matcha in 1.5L of water and keep it refrigerated -- very refreshing.

The Internet can be pretty bad in the rooms. Just let the staff know and they will provide a small router. There's a LAN line running from the phone that you can use for the router. After that, everything was great!

we have a tattoo but the staff gave us a tattoo cover that’s cool. they are all good staff. we love onsen and sauna that’s was cool too. my son and friends they are reading manga while sitting in free massage chair. and also we love yonaki soba it’s free and delicious. there’s also free yakult and 4 differences ice cream. all is good.

uhm not me because my wifi is unli but my son is not so he need the wifi… and the wifi is so poor :( and we want to watch nextflix hulu etc. in tv but there’s no Netflix Hulu only tv. I wish next time we come back the wifi is not poor and then tv can watch Netflix Hulu etc…

Convenient location, close to Kawasaki Station and just 200m from the Haneda airport bus stop. Seafood served at breakfast is fresh with good variety. The big bath on top floor is very relaxing.

really enjoyed the hot spring and steam room. complementary yogurt drink, Dole fruit popsicles, and late night ramen a plus breakfast is great
