Dormy Inn EXPRESS Meguro Aobadai Hot Spring

I’m afraid this place did not meet expectations and I cannot recommend. Our non smoking room had a bad smell; musty with stale cigarette. The whole place just felt like it needed a really good clean. The walls in the onsen are thick with dust! I was really pleased that we only stayed one night. I was disappointed to find that the onsen is not available to women except from 7:30pm on weekends and public holidays (so, ladies, late night or morning bathing is not possible sorry!). *There is a poster which indicates that onsen availability for women will increase from December 2024. Service was perfectly fine but nothing special. A true Fawlty Towers moment was when I asked for some drinking water at breakfast. The response was “no”, on the basis that the day prior when we had checked in we had been given a small water bottle. Then the staff member suggested that I could pour myself some boiling hot water and add some ice and wait for it to cool. I noticed later in the day there was a jug of cold water available. The best thing about this hotel is its location. But I would look for something else nearby!

BEWARE Not recommended for solo females OR couples with females! I chose this place because of the listed spa amenity. It says separate areas for men and women. FALSE that is a lie! There is 1 area only, and separate DAYS for men and women. Men get 5 days (weekdays), women get 2 days (weekends). I arrived Sunday night, and the lady took so long to check me in and finally got to explaining the spa at which point I said, wait, so I only have 20 minutes now to use the spa? She said "Sorry, 15 min sorry" So I had to rush, while she was still talking to me about the ramen I don't care! So I got to use the spa for 10 min! So I booked another hotel, Super Hotel I stayed at before that I know has 2 separate areas and the spa is open ALL night until 9am. I asked Dormy to give me a refund because of the false advertising. Of course they say sorry no. I would not have stayed there if I had known this. Seeing that I was a single female booking they should have notified me. And what I really cannot tolerate is gender inequality. I know this is a more male dominate society, but that is old and backwards and I do not support that type of thinking. Please do not support this gender inequality! If you are a woman, this is NOT the hotel for you. Location is also weird and not much to walk to. Who cares about the Starbucks you can get that anywhere. I left first thing in the morning, I don't care if I lost money on it, I wasn't going to stay there a minute longer.

e stayed at Dormy Inn express for 4 days during the last week of December. We booked one family room for 5 people (3 kids) and it suited... eek of April with the sakuras just in full bloom by the river Meguro o
