Great central location for shopping and castle, and for visiting our family. Excellent value, with great shower and toiletries included. Also fridge. Only downside was the size of the double room, which was more like a single with a double bed and one 9inch bedside cabinet! No room for one suitcase, let alone two for our two week stay! Somehow...

The Dormy Inn in Kumamoto is up to the standard of all other Dormy Inns I have stayed at in Japan. This chain is at the upper end quality wise of what my Japanese colleagues refer to as "Business Hotels" (our equivalent would be IBIS Hotels and similar). The rooms are of a typical Japanese size (a little on the... More

We stayed one night at Dormy Inn Kumanoto. The staff is decent and helpful. Room is clean and tiny and standard level is as same as other Dormy Inn hotel. It is convenient to get there and it is only take 5 minutes walk from tram staton. I always stay at Dormy Inn hotel when travelling to Japan.

Great location- it's a short walk to a shopping arcade with lots of shops and restaurants. The rooms were small but comfortable. Breakfast was a good mix of Japanese and western cuisine. The hotel has a lovely onsen and between 9.30pm and 11.00pm guests can enjoy free ramen noodles in the lobby. It also has valet parking which is very... More

Stayed Fri/Sat night (St Patrick's Day weekend). Visiting friends in area plus weekend getaway for us. Small, like all hotels in Japan, but very clean, convenient, and helpful. Wife said Onsen on top of hotel was FANTASTIC (I wasn't allowed in...No Tatoo's allowed....also like the rest of Japan...). Even a free taxi service in the mornings was VERY helpful to... More

In my experience, the Dormy Inn hotels are very reliable. They have all been clean and comfortable, with small rooms but bathrooms which are more spacious. The onsens--clean and often with rotenburo (outdoor bath) -- are special treats. Breakfasts have been more variable but never less than good. These descriptives fit this hotel, including a good breakfast. The size of... More

Very impressed, especially for the price. Small rooms, but had a great Onsen (hot bath) on the top floor, plus sauna and massage at reasonable prices. 4min walk to the train station and the mall area of Kumamoto. WiFi was in the lobby area only. The staff's english was not quite as good as other hotels I have stayed in... More

The hotel was great, except that the rooms were kind of small. However, according the Japanese standards, I would say the size is quite acceptable. At night around 9pm-11.30pm, they serve free singing noodles, which are basically sort of a Japanese noodles. The hotel has an onsen which you can enjoy after consuming the noodles! Hotel staff were friendly and... More

What else can you ask for ? It was next to the Kotsu bus station and a few minutes walk to the tram station (the JR train station is 5 tram stops away by line A) which is situated in the main shopping area. It's also walking distance to the castle, the key attraction of Kumamoto. The room is small... More
