The staff was friendly and helpful. We had no problem communicating in English.
We like the small perks like the free late night ramen and ice pop/ice cream offered at night.
We ate breakfast in the hotel every day because it was a nice buffet with a nice mix of mostly Japanese food with a little western and convenient being in the hotel. It was well worth the cost. Breakfast can be added to the room package at a discounted rate, which we recommend. We left it off in case we wanted to go somewhere else for breakfast but we did not want to in the end.
There is a Lawson convenience store connected to the hotel which was handy.





We stayed in queen-size bedrooms which have enough space for ease of movement. The bedding provided are comfortable, and the room has all the necessary amenities. Hot spring onsen is a boon in the cold winter nights and the free noodles from 9.30pm onwards is a welcome treat. There is complimentary tea and coffee from 3.00pm onwards too! Plus there is a 24 hour supermarket Foodium, diagonally across the hotel on the right (one block away) that stocks all sorts of food if you are hungry in the middle of the night.
What makes this hotel extra special is the ease of access for transport and food options. The free shuttle service in the morning to Namba station is godsend and the bus captain is able to direct you to the right direction, be it taking the subway, bus station or Nankai rail station.
Direction tips - if you are coming in via Nankai railway train from airport, transfer at Namba station to the Sennichimae Line (pink line) to Nipponbashi station, a station away. Take Exit 2, and on road level, turn left and walk straight down the road. You will pass Dotonbori street (with the huge crab on the side of the building) and within minutes, after about two traffic junctions, you will see Dormy Inn Premium on the other side of the road. If you are coming in at night, look out for the brightly lit sign on top of the building. It's a 5-8 min walk from the subway station.
p.s Kuromon market is located at Exit 10 of Nipponbashi station. Food options from fresh sashimi, grilled beef etc abound from 9.00am onwards.
But al these positive points did not change my overall feeling that I was glad that I was only staying one night in this hotel. I know hotel rooms are not that big in Japan (I've stayed in quite some rooms by now), but this one was exceptionally small. We hardly could fit in two people with two moderate suitcases. Also, the room was very dark. And that with the sun shining brightly outside.
The staff's English was quite poor. Therefore, we also had a misunderstanding about the massage we booked through reception. At our stay at another Dormy Inn, there was a separate room for this. But it seemed they turned their spa room into a restaurant here so the massage had to be in our room. A 'first world problem', I know. But I really have no idea how they think that would have fitted in our small space. We could barely fit in there ourselves!
Overall: I think you can find better places in Osaka to stay. I would only stay here again for the onsen, but will probably choose somewhere else.
I stayed in a deluxe queen non-smoking room on a higher floor. The room is quiet though it is facing the road. It is clean and modern and it has all I need and the best is it was equipped with an adapter!
The Onsen was lovely however was very packed at peak hours. The proximity to the area of Namba / Dotonbori/ Amemura (America Town) was great and good enough for me to explore by foot during my stay.
I will not hesitate to consider to choose the same hotel if I were to visit Osaka again.
We stay in this hotel whenever we are in Osaka due to its convenient location.
Price: Inexpensive, Pricing is what is expected for a 3 - 3.5 star business hotel.
Rooms: Fairly small without many frills. But clean and modern.
Facilities: There is a hot spring public bath (think onsen but not exactly as I am not sure it is natural hot spring water). Very enjoyable and clean...which is a great way to rest after a full day of walking. There is a rest area which also serves free ramen noodles from 9pm to 11pm every night. A 24 hr convenience store is also located on premises.
Location: The hotel is fairly accessible from the Nagahoribashi or Nipponbashi station (about 10 - 15 mins walk with luggage, 7 - 10 mins without luggage). There is also a shuttle bus to (not from) the Osaka-Namba station which is helpful for getting to the Kansai International Airport.
This hotel is located very conveniently near Dontonbori (about 5 - 7 mins walk), the Kuromon Ichiban Market (Osaka's fish market - about 10 - 15 mins walk), and the main shopping street, Shinsaibashi/Namba (10 mins walk) and our favourite beef restaurant in Osaka (Tsurugyu - check out my review of it in the link below).
Side Note: Dormy Inn is a chain of western-styled hotels with a public baths to be enjoyed by its guests (not a typical feature of western-styled hotels in Japan). We tend to choose to stay at Dormy Inn hotels in Japan for this reason (as we really enjoy the hot bath after a long day of sight-seeing).
