The hotel is walking distance from the station, that's why we chose it. Indeed, it is walking distance from the station, which made our trip super convenient. They have hand sanitizing alcohol at the entrances and outside elevators, which I like. The staff was nice and helpful. We did not get to try the food. It would have been nice if there were facilities or activities to wind down after a long day, but our room is very cozy and larger than the ones in Tokyo. I like that the room had a divider for the bed area and the living room area, and the TV could flip both sides too. I like that we had a sofa and a work table in the room, where we could eat snacks and prep for the day. The mirror on the table was particularly useful. I like that the bathroom has a separate section for the sink and for the toilet. I enjoyed their bathtub very much. The closet area is wide enough with enough hangers as well. Too bad I do not have pictures of the room, but it was nice getting to stay here!
The room is nice and clean. It's good that it's close to the station, and the location is good. There are convenience stores, lots of places to eat, and many izakayas. Is Mito a good place to travel?
As both of us work, it's difficult to take long holidays and we've never been able to go on a trip. We left after work on Saturday, but Katsuta-san was able to enter the hotel without having to worry about check-in time, which was the biggest deciding factor.
It was cheap and I didn't have high expectations, but the receptionist was polite and thoughtful, which was helpful as we had small children.
The room was clean and the kids were so happy that they dived into the futon lol.
The sink and bath in the room were also great so the kids didn't have to be afraid of new places. On the way out, we gave the kids some sweets. They came in a cute drawstring bag and both of them liked it.
It was a short stay, but the whole family was very satisfied.
Next time, I'd like to try the breakfast. The delicious smell made us want to leave lol.
Like other Dormy Inns, it features well-maintained guest rooms and baths. Yonaki Soba is also served in the evening. Regarding the baths, the open-air bath was very popular, and while the space was somewhat cramped compared to its popularity, I made good use of it during my stay. There is also a manga room and massage chairs on the bath floor. The location is about a 15-minute walk from Mito Station, so it is a bit far from Mito's tourist attractions such as Kairakuen Garden.
The Narita Airport bus goes directly to Mito Station, and it's a 10-minute walk from Mito JR South Exit. The front desk staff were polite and friendly. The location is excellent, right next to the Sakura River with beautiful scenery. Every evening, there's all-you-can-drink Kirin draft beer (small cups) and local Japanese sake. Plus, there are tons of manga books to read, which is really cool! It's a great stopover if you're visiting Ibaraki Prefecture.
Since it's basically a room-only stay, I was glad that there was a bed, bath, and toilet 🚽.
It would be nice if there were a few more types of frozen food.
The hotel room was clean, and the loungewear was starched and comfortable. The amenities were plentiful and the hotel staff were very friendly. There was a convenience store right next to the hotel, which was conveniently located at Hitachi Station. I wanted to see the sunrise over Hitachi Station, but I couldn't see it from the hotel window.
However, I was glad that I could see it beautifully from the road on the Hitachi Station side of the hotel, the station plaza, and from inside the station. It was a wonderful memory.
We arrived early morning by train and walk down from station by step to go to hotel and found escalator near bus stop outside to upstairs.
Hotel have amenity bar for choosing.
Near Excel mito supermarket and department store for shopping. (10:00-20:00)
For having breakfast at Tully's Coffee in Mito station.
This is a hotel right in front of the ocean!!
The sound of the waves was so relaxing, and my time at the hotel was wonderful. 🥰
The lounge was filled with books, games, and drinks, so I was able to relax while gazing at the beautiful Nittsu Island right in front of me.
The food was also delicious, and I was very satisfied both in the evening and in the morning!!
The rooftop open-air bath is my top recommendation!!
The view and the quality of the spring water were both amazing!!
This is a hotel I'd love to visit again! ✨
Very Good

GGuest UserAccess is excellent as it is right in front of the station rotary. This is probably the oldest hotel in this area.
Breakfast was delicious at the teppanyaki restaurant in the hotel.
I think it would be nice to have a USB power jack or charger these days.

AAnonymous UserThe receptionist's response was very good. There is a welcome drink. The amenities were solid and I was grateful that the washing machine and dryer were free of charge.
It's old, but it's clean.
Thank you.
GGuest UserService was very good. But hotel is old and not as clean as picture shows. But many many antiques in the lobby area.. .the carpeted area in the room needs to change. It feels dusty and like not vacuumed. The futons were ready ,rolled up at the side of the room. We jus unrolled them at bedtime. They have the smallest pillow I've seen after staying in hundreds of ryokans across Japan..
Their dinner is the best I've had . Very full meal. Lobster included and very delicious.
Breakfast was simple and good. With the important seasonal food . Meals in this ryokan is worth bragging about. Hotel can be better if some renovation is done to the soiled carpets and a good cleanup of the rooms..
Advantage of being able to leave car at the car park lot and walk 3mins to the nearby riverside garden..
The elderly couple running the ryokan were very friendly and helpful. Very kind people.
GGuest UserNext to a mall. Convenient for meals. And some shopping . A pity there's no public bath. Coin laundry available. . Staff service is fine. Except when I checked in. I got a lady staff coughing non stop and trying to explain to me the check in details.. she was not wearing a mask. That's not nice and I was upset. But had to cover my nose and mouth with a tissue paper. As I was caught suddenly facing a coughing staff. And didn't have time to pull out my medical.mask.
Parking was convenient. Drive to the small parking space behind the hotel. And you will be guided to use the special car lift to park car. Don't need to use the public multi storey car park.next door.

GGuest UserThe staff were very nice, I had no difficulty checking in, and I received a free meal (frozen to put in the microwave). There is a Lawson just a block away. The room was very clean (no odor at all), much more spacious than I expected, and there were plenty of electrical outlets, even one next to the bed. There was an air purifier/humidifier and an AC/heating unit. Some people probably like the firmness of the bed, but I would have preferred it to be softer. I wished there was a reading lamp at the head of the bed.
FYI: There are steps to enter each room and a large step into the bathroom.
DDanielWe were extremely happy that we booked this place for the Tonegawa fireworks festival! This place was just 20 min walk to the riverbank where the event took place.
Despite being a container-style hotel the room is quite comfortable with a large bed for two and is equipped with all we need.
On the plus side, there was a microwave in the room and the large TV just made our nights more enjoyable.
The hotel offered a ”light snack” for breakfast, which literally was a frozen bento box with four options - wasn't the ideal for breakfast but was actually quite tasty.
