Dormy Inn Nagano

Hotel

Nice and clean hotel

Reviewed By evertjank

We stayed with the family two days in this nice hotel, that is centrally located in Nagano. The rooms are modern and clean. The onsen is great. One outside, one inside, a cold bath and a sauna. Between 21:30-23:00 you get a complementary ramen soup in the restaurant. We arrived in the weekend, and than it is not possible to reach the hotel by car. We had to walk with our luggage 5 minutes. Minus: no English speaking staff or English information. We had a lost in translation situation.

Comfortable big Ryokan

Reviewed By Takafoto

A huge Ryokan type hotel, consisting three buildings and sky corridor. We stayed 8th floor, where each room has Onsen in its room. That was the end of July. Their facilities are great. They seemed renovated. Especially the public Onsen, both the indoor and outdoor, were really nice. They are very spacious and some of them have really great view. The staffs are very polite and friendly. The breakfast and dinner were good as a big Ryokan. We enjoyed the local ales available there, especially the one from Nagano. Dinner cannot be ranked as Five because of the size of Ryokan, I guess, but still good including their service. The great view from our room as attached was also nice. We, including my 10 year old daughter, really enjoyed our stay here.

Large hotel for large groups

Reviewed By badgerbob77

The official name of the hotel is Daiwa Royal Hotel Nagano. A very large hotel with good sized rooms. Large banquet rooms for large groups. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast with a good selection of Japanese and Western food. The French Toast was very popular. The Chinese food we had for dinner was better than average. The hotel is clean and the view was great from the room. But the location is a little out of the way from everything. Near the highway so it would be convenient for travelers passing through. There was a shop and cafe but no convenience store.

Serviceable for a trip to Kamikochi, memorable for its retro offerings

Reviewed By ijayne

While the stay here was nice, it wasn't up what we necessarily expected for the price we had to pay. The price was worth three nights what we had paid for a better ryokan in Takayama, so this was a bit of a letdown. That being said, I believe the price is really about supply and demand, and the number of hotels within Kamikochi are quite dismal - due to the uniqueness of the park. Anyway, the hotel is conveniently located 4 minutes away from the bus stop. You traverse a little wooded area, cross two bridges over small streams and you stop right in front of the hotel. Right in front of the hotel is the Asuza River, which you can experience thanks to the benches and tables set by the riverside by the hotel. We sat there in the day and had multiple monkeys curiously sit by us, and at night, when the lights are all turned off, you sit in darkness, the milky way overhead (best spotted through a long-exposure camera shot) and the sound of the mountains and river surrounding you. It's terrifyingly beautiful. The stars are truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were here towards the end of summer, it was supposed to be a blazing 30degC elsewhere but up in Kamikochi, surrounded by mountain peaks, it was a cool 23 to 25degc. Lovely and brisk. From this hotel, you had a 20min trek to the famous Kappa bridge on the left and a 40min trek to Taisho pond on the right. You basically get the best of Kamikochi from this convenient location. The hotel is designed really as a stopover for Japanese travellers who want to experience the beauty of Kamikochi. So it's quite frill-free. The guests are also mostly locals, elderly locals to be exact. By 9pm, all lights are off cause they are all asleep. In fact, you'll find that there'll be no staff at the front desk either. Just after dinner, we hopped down to the lobby for an evening stroll outside when we saw that they had all gathered for a slide show of pictures of Kamikochi. Everyone sat gathered in their yukatas watching this old man use his 80s-chic slideshow projector. I was blown away by the retro-ness of it all. We opted for the Japanese-style rooms, and it was properly traditional. Paper sliding doors, tatami mats and futons for the night. Everything was well kept, but old. As was the onsen that had both indoor and outdoor options. (Remember, you are not allowed to bathe here if you have a tattoo!) The food offerings were disappointing. The dinner spread was interesting but flavour-wise, average. In fact, we were left feel a little disatisfed after dinner cause it was just so...meh. Breakfast was a buffet with mostly traditional Japanese offerings and a handful of continental choices (sausages, croissants, ham etc). But that was decidely better and tastier. We particuarly enjoyed the savoury roasted vegetables. Would we stay here again, probably not. Was it memorable? Yes.

Price Worthy Hotel with Buffet

We felt cheated

Reviewed By ursularuh2

At check out we were not given the Go-to travel discount. The explanation was because we had not booked at the hotel itself but via expedia. If we had cancelled the expedia booking and booked at the hotel directly we would have received the discount, so the explanation of the receptionist. However, this discount campaign is even on the Japanese website of expedia........ I did not even receive a reply to my mail I sent to the hotel in which I asked to reconsider and credit the discount. Given these circumstances I cannot leave a positive comment.

Great onsens

Reviewed By Tim D

Our guide was able book us into using the onsens, as they weren't being used by guests, during our recent trip to see the snow monkeys, and we loved it. Excellent facilities and friendly staff had us wishing we could have stayed a few nights here. I will definitely be staying here the next time we are in town. Highly recommended.
