Hmm... I really don't want to speak ill of others, but I can't help it.
1. The hotel staff initially thought I didn't speak Japanese, so they just handed me an English check-in guide and finished the check-in process.
2. The hotel hangers were so dirty that they stained my white clothes, forcing me to wash them.
3. There was differential treatment; their own people got bottled water, while we got nothing.
I probably won't choose to stay here again.
We stopped at the southern town of Kochi during our Shikoku cycling challenging around the island. It was a long day after 130km from Shishiku but finally arrived at the Dormy Inn at around 3:30pm.
Location wise it’s excellent as it is at the heart of the shopping district with many shops and restaurants nearby. The hotel is bike friendly allowing us to take the bike into our room. Amenities is excellent and room is clean although a tad smaller than expected. In general I am happy with our decision staying at the Dormy Inn of Kochi.
3 mins away from the station, very convenient for us to catch the early train. We walk 17 mins to Hirome Market and Aeon mall. Room size is good but the breakfast is the best, hotel even change the hot dishes everyday. Usually we don't like hotel breakfast but this one is not to be missed.
The room is very clean and space is very good in Japan standard. The front desk staff are super helpful.
I wanted to open a bottle of wine and didn't have a wine opener. When I asked the front desk staff. He tried his best to help and unfortunately there was not a wine opener and I borrowed a beer opener instead. Just a few minutes later, I managed to open the wine using the beer opener and I went down to the front desk to return the opener. When lift door opened, I saw the front staff wanted to get into the lift with a screwdriver and 2 screws in his hand. I was really so touched when I saw him not giving up and still wanted to help me. I am totally zero to Japanese, and I can't remember the gentleman's name unfortunately. I really want to say a big thank you to the gentleman who tried his best to help me.
The location of the hotel is good with a supermarket and a convenient shop next door.
There a massage chair in the room for guests to use at FOC.
I you drive, there is car park on-site and it's free.
It feels like an old hotel, but the location was great.
The paid hotel parking lot seems like you can't use it unless you make a reservation, so I parked in a nearby paid parking lot.
The mattress was quite hard, the amenities were quite limited, and you could hear outside noise quite well even from inside the room, so if that's something you'd want to be careful about, I think it's a good idea.
The price was reasonable for the hotel, but when you consider the cost of parking, it's a bit disappointing.
The bread at breakfast was delicious.
Cannot ask for more from this hotel. Everything is perfect. We have the best accomodation in here while in Shikoku, where we have stayed in 9 hotels. It was simply the best.
The environment is recluse, though it is highly accessible with cars. The star-gazing experience in onsen is once in a lifetime. It was magical to bath under the starry night. The dining experience is exceptional, though it is a little pricey, compare to the dinner we have throught Shikoku. Still, I highly recommend to try the Japanese-style course The Manna provided.
Definitely NOT A 5 star hotel quality and service. When we arrived, we were not greeted at the door, we had quite a few luggages but none of the staff even insisted on helping. The rooms felt small, nothing interesting with the interior (to be honest, it felt just like a better version of a business hotel), no bathtub in the rooms just a plastic shower room. Another thing I noticed is due to having only two elevators, I often encountered to full elevators especially during busy hours when people go to the public bath on the 5th floor. We also had to pay 1000 yen per night extra for parking which I find it absurd. The staff were not very attentive and all looked kinda like students. Overall, this hotel should not be ranked 5 stars. I will not go back.
The hotel is in a good location, and the building appears to be quite old. However, the interior of the hotel and the room decor have been renovated in a modern style. Other than the lock system (not a card key), there's no sense of antiquity, and the cleanliness was sufficient. Considering the end of the year, the price seems reasonable. Unfortunately, I was woken up by snoring from the room next door. The sound was so strong that it felt like the person in the room was snoring. In the end, I woke up in the morning having barely slept that night. Not only was the snoring audible, but the sounds of the TV and the running shower were also clearly audible, and I can't help but feel that the building's structure lacks soundproofing (although I'm sure this varies greatly from person to person). Again, this was unfortunate and disappointing.
It feels a bit dated, but as expected from the Nishitetsu chain, it feels well-maintained.
The location is excellent, the breakfast is decent, and the staff are friendly.
However, the humming noise from the air conditioner was annoying at night.
Those with sensitive skin might find it uncomfortable to sleep.
Very Good

TTraveller CThe hotel is dated but has lots of charm! Yes, the fittings and furniture is old and outdated but everything is working as it should.
The room (twin room) was generous in space by Japan standards. Here are some plus points about the hotel:
1) The windows can be opened fully to allow generous amounts of wind in (not the usual small openings).
2) The hotel staff are so generous and kind, they allowed us to check-in early and check-out late without charge! This is also the reason why we will definitely stay here again if we are in Kochi.
3) Hotel is located in the heart of all the bars (there were hoards of salarymen hanging around the area in the night and it gets very lively)
4) It’s a cosy hotel with no frills (so bring your own shampoo and conditioner if you are fussy about it).
To manage your expectations, note the following:
1) It’s an old establishment, so don’t expect everything to be sparkling new or matching. No usb outlet charging as well.
2) Due to the location, you might hear lots of street noise if you open the windows at night.
All in all, a wonderful little charming hotel, run by people who have the interests of their guests. Highly recommended!

MmajyorikaI have stayed here several times when I go back home. This time I stayed here the day before the Kochi Ryoma Marathon. Normally I don't have much trouble finding a place to stay, but this time it was the day before a big event, so I was lucky to be able to make a reservation. The hotel staff were, as always, very friendly, kind, and pleasant. I often make reservations with my family, so I'm glad they have Western-style rooms for families. This is one hotel I would like to stay at in the future.
LLinyuRINGOThe hotel is about a ten to fifteen-minute walk from Nakamura Station. However, its proximity to souvenir shops, restaurants, and convenience stores makes it quite convenient. Just be aware that the nearby restaurant closes at 9 PM.
Breakfast is a complimentary buffet for guests. I can only say the Oden was delicious, but everything else was rather subpar.
It was fully booked due to Golden Week, so I couldn't switch to a non-smoking room. However, the window could be opened for fresh air and ventilation, and there was also a humidifier in the room, so I was still reasonably satisfied.

GGuest Userthe hotel room is nice , best shower even in Japan. but the sink is too low, good size for the child , too low for an adult the hotel has swimming pool, the pool is belong to the gym , normally require the membership ,but you just need to show the counter that you are staying in the hotel they will let you in. if you dont have the swimming suit, they have the swimming suit to borrow which was nice . they don't really speak English, that was a little tough to communicate. they have laundry machine at 3rd floor to use. the breakfast was acceptable , if you are foreigner, like western food , they have croissant, chocolate bread, salad, bacon. it was a good stay.

GGuest UserThe air was clear and wide, and the dog was able to relax together!
It was very nice in a large room.
The price was good, the rice was good, the Viking was playing, and it was fun.
