We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights on a recent trip to Japan - the location is excellent, right opposite Kyoto station, buses and shops. Rooms were compact, but had everything you needed. We adjusted to the breakfast options quickly and really enjoyed it. Great to be able to catch up on washing with the washer & dryer on... More

The hotel is very close to Kyoto train station and ideally situated for the bus, main line train and subway stations. As many of the Kyoto sites are on the outskirt of the city, being near the transport hub was ideal. Rooms were small but well equipped - perfect if you're only looking for somewhere to sleep, but if you... More

The only problem is the japanese breakfast. Prefer going to the Starbucks near there. There are other options. The hotel is near close to the Central Kyoto station. Dormy Inn PREMIUM is great. I Nagoya I stayed at the std. one. It is not the same thing.

Hotel was in a central location to main train station and easy to find after trip from airport. Rooms were small but efficient and had everything you need. Hotel staff was very accomodating and always tried to help us with resturants or directions. Nice bonus to have ramen every night and breakfast was great. Would definately stay again next time...

I stayed for three nights at "Dormy Inn Premium Kyoto Ekimae." It is a lovely hotel right next to the Kyoto Railway Station. The location is absolutely perfect. For those who fancy sauna there is one at the hotel. The service is superb. I liked it very much indeed. It was a wonderful stay. Cheers!

stayed 3 nights at this hotel from 19-21 april. hotel is located right across kyoto station and easily reached on foot within 5-10mins via subway entrance/exit (Porta) or road surface. Importantly, there is a well equipped convenience store adjacent to the hotel for those who prefer something other than free noodles provided by the hotel from 9-11pm. Amenities within the... More

Stayed at this hotel in March 2013 for a 3 night stay, while visiting most of the sites Kyoto has to offer. Like all hotels in Japan; as well as the rest of Asia, space is at a premium. Dormy Inn Premium Kyoto Ekimae offers a comfortable stay without a hefty premium. It is located across from the Kyoto station,... More

While the rooms are tiny, the location near Kyoto station, decoration, and amenities -- such as free Ramen, helpful staff, and a public bath make up for the size. We stayed three nights, then checked out to move to a ryokan for a night. We had planned to move to Nagoya, but were so happy with the hotel, that we... More

I've stayed at three different Kyoto properties and really love Westin Miyako Kyoto (gave it 5-star too). But deep in my heart I will always go back to Dormy Inn even though I can use my Starwood points for free rooms at Westin and enjoy Platinum service there. Here are the reasons: 1. Dormy Inn chain's charm All Dormy Inn... More
