This was the second time we have stayed at this property and were a little disappointed to begin with. The room was clean but smelt musty, the pillows were like blocks of concrete and the sensor light in the room turned on and off every time you moved. That's the bad news, the good news is that on reporting these problems to the staff they fixed the light, opened the window and provided us with lovely soft pillows. Very happy in the end. The location is excellent being just over the bridge for China Town and a 3 minute walk from the nearest tram stop. Plenty of places to eat and shop within a few minutes walk. Would be happy to stay again.

It Just Got Better.

Very nice place. All the little extra things made this special, like free coffee in the lobby, free noodles from the evening, a complimentary pear desert in the fridge, free entry to the onsen. The parking was in the building next door. We had a twin room, worth the small amount extra for the space.

Would stay again 

Terrible rooms, extremely small. You barely have room to turn around.. There is very little room for luggage.The bathroom is ridiculously tiny. If you weigh over 140 lbs you probably will be quite miserable. You will need to pull your luggage through Chinatown.

You will be miserable here…😣

The Dormy Inn Nagasaki is located in the Chinatown area of Nagasaki - just a short walk tot he tram stop - taking you into town

The main entrance is located on the street - but you have to take the lift from the street entrance to the Lobby 

Our rom was 918 - not the largest of rooms - but OK - enough room for our luggage.

We had a twin room - with a fridge, NO safe, A.C. and TV (again NO English channels) 

The bathroom worked well with plenty of hot water and the ubiquitous Japanese toilet 

The hotel had an on site Onsen/sauna for guests and had an in house laundry for guests - FREE to wash but pay for drying (Y100 for 30 min)

The hotel is located in the Chinatown area of Nagasaki -  which is outside the main city centre - but has a large number of local and Chinese restaurants (reasonably priced)

Another plus was that the breakfast included plenty of western options (we even had cereal)

All in all - Highly Recommended

A Great Place to Stay in Nagasaki

I’m not a fussy traveller but the following points really made me wonder...

1. Room with no carpet
The room allocated to us have no carpet. The floor was badly scratched. There’s a huge tv cabinet taking up 1/3 of the room. The bed is like a sofa, facing the window. The toilet stinks even with the toilet door closed. 

When we asked for change of room, the Receptionist quickly give me the ‘we are fully booked’ response. When we pressed on and showed photo of the room we’ve booked, they backed off. At the end we were thrown to an opposite room with the set up like the photo on the website. During the move, the staff just stood at the door watching, not helping. 

2. No need to tab hotel card to ride the lift
This hotel is in Chinatown, above of Family Mart. Anyone can ride the lift up the hotel without tapping the hotel card. The lift doesn’t stop at the Reception Floor as part of security check, even if it does, the Receptionist is facing the other side, totally oblivious of who’s coming.

3. Inside the onsen, some people have no onsen etiquette and bring their toddler son inside and stares at others and spray water everywhere. It’s more like a nightmare than a place to relax. 

4. At night, some hotel guests are talking on top of their voice after 12 midnight and slammed their door loudly. Kids are running along the corridor with no restrains, treating the public place like their own home. 

5. The toilet is so smelly, the urine smell from the toilet bowl is so strong I have to pour shampoo to mask it at night. This is not a joke, I haven’t encounter any smelly toilet in Japan until this time. 

6. Our Japanese rental car Suzuki is a typical tiny car and apparently we were turned away from parking in the hotel’s nearest car park because the height has exceeded the max carpark height. It’s so bazaar. 



No security, noisy & smelly toilet

Stayed here for 2 nights and there were a few disappointments:
1) Initially we were given the unrenovated room on L12, upon arriving late at around 7pm. We didn’t bother to complain until we finished our dinner and realised that the room given was totally different from what was shown on Agoda. So, we went down to reception to complain and wanted a change. The receptionist initially refused stating no rooms were available. However, we insisted as we were shortchanged, and the current room was not carpeted and bed was old, TV was sideways, and bed was like a converted sofa. Finally he caved in after my wife nearly lost her temper, and said we are Dormy Inn regulars, and even Dormy Kumamoto was much better. 
2) We were then given a change of room, also on L12, opposite the initial room. I wonder why they shortchanged us in the first place? This one is at least the same as the picture when we booked.
3) The onsen could be better regulated. There were many un-regulated onsen users who could be mainland tourists with no onsen etiquette. They spray the shower all over and are very messy. I was told on the women’s spa, there were some noisy and even smelly bathers. There was even one incident where a mother brought in her noisy 5yr old son with her into the women’s onsen. Again, what happened to the strict regulations?
4) Lastly, i have a sense that most foreigners are lumped together on L12...instead of sharing with Japanese guests. If not, our floor certainly felt like a Chinese hotel rather than a Japanese one on the nights we were there. This is because during the nights, there was a Chinese family that booked a few rooms on the floor and they were making lots of noises till late. People were running from room to room and shouting along the corridor. The mother was talking at the top of her voice post midnight. Whatever happened to good social manners in Japan? I certainly felt that I was not in Japan during that time.
All in all, i will not stay in Dormy Inn Nagasaki again. 

Noisy and full of tourists

Hotel Dormy Inn Nagasaki is located in Nagasaki Chinatown, around 10 minutes tram ride from Nagasaki Station. The tram station is less than 5 minutes walk from the hotel. The hotel is a good base for walking/exploring Nagasaki. 

The room is quite dated but clean and comfortable. The hotel has a bath/sento for hotel guests and is quite big, which includes a sauna. 

One interesting service of this hotel is the free ramen for supper at night! Overall, this hotel is a good choice if you want something that is functional and affordable. 

Cozy Hotel in Chinatown (with free ramen!)

Believe the reviews.  This is a fantastic hotel for the money.  We must have had a deluxe room because it was biggest room we’ve ever had in Japan.  

Anyway, great location.  Good public bath.  Staff was prompt with our requests for more towels and pillows.  Ramen was fun at 10 pm!  Everything worked.  So really no complaints at all.  

But if there’s one thing it’s this:  check-in is on the 3rd floor and rooms are on 4th and above.  You access the hotel via an “open to the street” elevator on the ground floor.  But you can also access the room floors from the ground floor.  So nothing would stop a person on the street from getting on the elevator and accessing your floor. 

Fortunately japan is a very safe place and we didn’t have any issues.  But I thought it useful just to advise (females in particular) who might find the security setup a little weak.  

Anyway, I’d stay here again.  I think we paid 10,000 a night.  What a steal.  (And Nagasaki is such a great city, we might well be coming back!)

Only one thing bothered me ...

The room was clean and with enough room. The staff was friendly and spoke decent English. Centrally located close to Chinatown and the tram. Walking distance to many attractions and an easy tram ride to the rest. The hot pools and sauna are perfect for relaxing at night. Late night free noodles too. Overall I would recommend although I also stayed in the Richmond Hotel and liked it better, the Richmond does not have the spa or free noodles so it depends what your priorities are.

Great option in Nagasaki

I stayed here for four nights and I found the hotel to be described as other reviewers have stated.  It's conveniently located near the intersection of two tram lines, Dejima Island, and Chinatown.  Even so, Nagasaki is really small and all of the tourist attractions are close together.  

The room was small as usual, but had everything I needed.  Actually, if you compare the amenities in this room and a comparable room in the US, this room is the better deal.  At this price point, American hotels are crap.

I had a rental car overnight, but I didn't receive a voucher or anything for a discount.  The front desk only gave me a map of nearby parking lots. The lot across the street didn't have staff and I didn't see anything about entering a discount code or similar.  Maybe I'm missing something, but no discount.

The evening free ramen was okay.  It's a nice snack, but it's nothing I would go out of the way for.  It is what it is.  A free, but substantial, snack after 10pm.  

The bath was clean and busy on all evenings I was there.  They were not busy enough to create a queue.  It's always nice to soak in the tub after a long day of sight-seeing.  (Note: 80% of the hotels on this trip had a public bath!)

The front staff spoke limited English.  Just enough to get you in-and-out of the hotel.  Stangely, cherry blossoms were supposed to be in full bloom during my stay, but, apparently, the trees are rare in Nagasaki.  Unlike Tokyo or Kyoto, the streets aren't filled with sakura.  I only noticed the lack of trees on my third day.  I inquired at the front desk for good places to see the blossoms.  I asked in English, but that didn't work.  I switched to Japanese and the two at the front desk were stumped.  (When you hear Japanese people say, "ええと。。。" or "難しいだね。。。", you know you stumped them.  One went to the back and apparently asked her co-workers about where to see sakura in Nagasaki.
