Dormy Inn Okayama Natural Hot Spring Kibi No Yu

Unclaimed

Overall an amazing place to stay. Really enjoyed staying in the Moderate Queen room, which is one of the more affordable options but is very spacious and comfortable. Great service and amenities. Great stuff included but some services have fixed hours so that's something to watch out for (Ramen 9:30 pm - 11 pm, sauna closed after 1 am, etc.) Lovely staff, but I felt like the male Japanese concierge should stop being so perfect because the other staff seemed to be left with not much to do. I have a hunch that his hobby might be drawing up blueprints.

Was checked in by an Indian staff who knew we were foreigners and spoke English to right from the top. Very refreshing service. Hotel also had the usual dormy inn benefits such as supper at night, ice cream and prebiotic drinks right outside their onsen. Appreciated.

Great service; at certain times you can get free drinks and in the late evening free ramen noodles. The hotel also has an onsen, separate for man and woman. The onsen has the same restrictions as most onsen probably have in Japan; for instance, you are not allowed to wear a swimsuit. Beds in the room were a bit hard. Location in walking distance of the train station.

Staff held our luggage before check in and after check out. Not only had free water in the fridge at check in but a tasty local treat as well Location was good for the Okayama station and Aeon mall. Also, the breakfast was delicious and all locally sourced.

It's a short walk to Okayama station. The hotel onsen uses Pola and Refa products. Probiotics drinks are available in the morning, ice-cream, and ramen are available in the evening - all free. Beddings are comfortable and rooms are relatively spacious and very quiet. There are toiletries for kids. Some good restaurants within walking distance - should go once they open or they will fill up very quickly with customers. Make reservations for dinner. It's worth staying one night in Okayama, visit Kurashiki (30 min train) and Castle.
