Dormy Inn Hirosaki

From the outside, this hotel looks a little run-down, but it was full of pleasant surprises! The whole accommodation was very clean, from room to common spaces. Check-in was a breeze, with staff going out of their way to provide our daughters with kids' amenity bags (loved the kids' slippers & PJs!) and the best apple juice we've ever had. At 1st glance the room had a bit of a bizarre layout (sliding door separating bedroom from sink, with shower/toilet in a separate room), but it actually ended up being very convenient when our family of 4 was getting ready at night/in the morning. We had no idea that free noodles and ice cream were available daily, which easily served as dinner for us. The onsen dressing room was very nice, secure and clean, and the free laundry machines were a welcome amenity. Rooms were turned down while we were out for the day. We paid extra for breakfast (something we typically don't do, but there aren't many options around) and were so glad we did! The buffet was wonderful - the Japanese offerings being the highlight. Kitchen staff kept everything replenished up until closing, so we never once had to wait for something to be refilled. More hotels could stand to learn a thing or two from the Dormy Inn!

Conveniently located hotel near the historic part of the town. Onsen on the 10th floor is the highlight of the hotel - both me and my wife enjoyed it very much. It is open from 3 pm overnight, until 10 am. It has both inside and outside bathes, as well as a sauna and a cold water bath. The staff was very helpful - answered all questions we had, and allowed us to leave our luggage in the hotel during our day-long side trip in the area. Breakfast was very good as well. Overall, it was a great stay.

A corner room on a high floor affords views over the city, including of the five-tiered pagoda that is a tourist attraction. The onsen is also good - of a reasonable size and with indoor and outdoor options - and the free apple juice in the foyer is a nice touch. Rooms are small, but clean and comfortable, and the shower was powerful. The castle and other sights are within easy walking distance, as are restaurants and bars, and buses to and from the train station pass nearby.

Clean. Convenient. Open carpark ( don’t like those elevator car park but if the open carpark is full then they’ll allocate your car to the elevator carpark which’s troublesome as you can’t access your car easily eg forget to pick up sth from the car. Staff helpful
