"Lovely hotel, very spacious room. Really pleased we could all have additional mattresses brought in. Staff were fantastic and very professional. Our son was ill and they were only concerned about his wellbeing. Thank you for a lovely stay. "

"Lively hotel in excellent location "

"This was our 3rd time staying at a Dormy Inn property. We love the baths and sauna, especially at such a reasonable price point. This particular building had an odor of cigarettes in the hallway of the floor our room was on, but our room itself was spotless and we kept the smell out by keeping the inner door closed. So it didn’t detract from our positive experience and we’d definitely stay here again in the future."

"Amazing hotel! The room was a piece of art. The breakfast was tasty. The hotel also offered some light dinner. Love it, love it!"

"Excellent stay. Everything stands out. Clean, safe, wonderful, amazing snowy night and day. Staying there for 2 nights was so dreamy. The onsen experience was unreal. Breakfast was filling with a great set offered. Staffs were helpful and patient. Language barrier was not a big issue. They sincerely try their very best to accomodate. If you want perfect english, best to visit an english-speaking country."

"The free night time ramen was very tasty! All day coffee was good too!"

"Location was amazing and staff was super helpful. "

"Okuhida Hot Spring Hirayukan is conveniently located, just a short and easy walk from the Hirayu Onsen bus terminal. A small shop beside the ryokan sells snacks and drinks, which is useful especially in the quieter evenings. Check in was smooth and the ryokan already had our Expedia reservations. As with most Japanese ryokan, copies of our passports were taken. We stayed in the Japanese Style Room, Sengakuso, Non Smoking (35 sqm). Footwear must be removed at the main lobby and changed to the in house slippers, in line with traditional ryokan customs. Our room was located some distance away from the main lobby and required climbing two flights of stairs, with no lift access. There were no shower facilities in the room, which is typical for many traditional ryokan. The onsen baths are located in the main building, and the male and female bathing areas are rotated once a day. Buffet dinner offered at Y4400 per person from 6pm. It was enjoyable and good value, with a wide selection including seafood. Each table is provided with two fuel stoves, and guests can choose between grilling, hotplate, or hotpot to cook the raw food. A nice touch is the free ramen served at the main lobby from 10pm to 10.30pm, perfect for a light supper after a soak in the onsen."
