This onsen wasn't for me
Its relatively close to Gifu station so that was good. However I chose this hotel specifically for the onsen. I was very disappointing that the water caused almost an allergic reaction to my skin. After just one visit to the onsen my skin became extremely dry and itchy. I thought it was the soap so i took my own soap the next day and sat in the onsen again. It made my skin even worse almost cracking. I didn't use their onsen again after that. Ive gone to many other onsen in Japan because i love the hot water and normally I'm fine. I'm not sure why I had such a bad response to this onsen water.

Amazing they serve ramen for free at night! Onsen(hot spa) is also awesome, it’s clean and relaxing. Nice amenities for children too. They have paid (about $10) parking structure connected to the hotel.

Only 3 stars! At least 4 surely?
I really enjoyed my stay at Dormy Inn. I'm amazed it is only rated 3 stars. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It is very close to good bars and restaurants, also the main railway and bus stations. The hotel itself is modern and the interior tastefully designed. Scrupulously clean. I didn't use the restaurant. There are vending machines and smoking rooms on 3 levels. Any type of drink can be purchased. Also an ice machine, microwave, trouser press. There is a free laundrette with a small charge for the tumble dryers. 2 massage chairs and free coffee in reception after 3pm. The star attraction of course, is the natural hot spring in the beautifully designed bathing area with a sauna included. All lounge wear supplied. I used it twice a day. Sometimes at 2am when I couldn't sleep from jet lag after travelling from London. Followed by a beer from the vending machine. Think of all the hotels that charge the same or more, that don't have a hot spring. The Dormy Inn wins hands down. I rarely miss being at a hotel, but I miss staying at this one. Only 3 stars! It will always be 5 stars from me. A big thank you to all the wonderful staff. From the great cleaners to those on reception.

I like the Dormy Inn in Gifu
The Dormy Inn chain is a no frills operation. The rooms are a little larger than the beds and so there is really not a lot of space in your rooms. If you are out all day and only need a place to sleep, then this is great. They have a public area where you can stretch out, watch tv and work. They have a decent breakfast and best of all the hot spring. It is clean and very well kept. Not recommended for long stays, but for a night or two it is fine. It is a short walk to the JR Gifu station and the nearby eating district.

Clean, comfortable, friendly. Nice baths.
Clean, friendly, comfortable and very well-located. It was awesome that the onsen/bath area was open so late. I had it to myself most of the time I was there. Free ramen is a nice touch, and the massage chair relaxation room was a pleasant surprise. The room was comfortable and very clean and quiet. It's on the smaller side as is typical of Asian hotel rooms, but it was a perfect size for 1 or 2 travelers. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating, too. Bonus is that there's nearly-free laundry and DRYERS (a huge rarity in Japan) on site!

Still a good place for leisure travelers. The baths were nice and clean, great location with access to sky path which takes you to gifu station. They adhere strictly to check in time, but it's a giant corporate chain for business travelers.

very convenient for the train and bus station
The hotel is connected to the train and bus station by a skywalk which means no stairs which is very useful with suitcases. Rooms are small but comfortable. As usual with these hotels ramen is provided as a snack every evening. The onsen is great although can get a little crowded. Overall the hotel is good value.

enjoyable hotel for a nice and relaxing break
very clean, conveniently located, good amenities, fairly priced for what you get (and it's a good offering). make sure to get the breakfast - it was the best we had in a hotel during our trip! not a whole lot to do in the area itself, but if you're looking for a stop on your way to Osaka/Kyoto, this is worth considering!

Nice clean hotel close to both train stations.
The hotel was a wonderful place to recover from a long journey from the east coast of the US. We checked in fairly late, but the staff was kind and helpful. They helped get us settled in and made certain that we knew of the hot spring bath and ramen cafe that are available to guests. After a full day of travel, the bath felt amazing.

A fresh business hotel, very good public bath.
Dormy Inn Gifu Ekimae was a very pleasant surprise. Was driving to spend the weekend in Gifu-ken and needed a place to stay for the first night on the road, and this place turned out great for the purpose. The interior seems new and fresh, the room was exceedingly clean and even spacious by local standards. As a modern touch, there's no bathtub in the room and only a shower, which I didn't mind at all, as the public bath was awesome with two hot baths, a hot sauna (not allowed to throw water on the stove, but that's to be expected) and a cold bath. The Wifi worked like a charm. The staff was friendly, the service very good and everything went smoothly. A most pleasant experience and good value for money. Would stay here again.

Dormy Inn is in an Ideal Location
We were traveling with our 19-month old son so Japanese hotel rooms can be tough because on average most are smaller than Western hotel rooms. So with bags and all the "kid" things we needed it was a tight fit. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This hotel has a onsen (bath house) which is nice! Very clean! Also, we were able to walk from the hotel to the train station (about 1/4 of mile) while it was raining pretty much covered the entire way except for maybe 15 feet. We're crafty that way :) We would stay at Dormy Inn again as it was very close to the train station and shopping. An ideal location and about a 10-15min taxi ride to the Gifu Park and Gifu Castle.

This is the place to stay
This hotel exceeded all expectations. This is the place to stay while in Gifu. The staff was very welcoming and eager to assist with any questions or concerns. The hotel and room were very clean and modern. Laundry facilities were great next to the onsen. Though the breakfast is not complimentary, it was well worth it. They have an evening special of their ramen which I was tempted to try but didn't. The location is near the Gifu train station so it was very convenient for all of my travel needs, whether by bus, taxi or train. The room was bright and very comfortable. I can't say enough good things about this hotel.

GW中の2日に宿泊させて頂きましたが、宿泊料金も安く、温泉はヌルッとした肌触りで滑らかな泉質でとてもくつろげました。 ドーミーの施設は二件目ですが、今回の宿は、サービスもかなり良く、湯上がりのアイスバーもあるし、今回は食べなかったが、夜鳴きそばも宿泊者へのサービスで振る舞ってくれるし、食べれなかった人にはご麺なさいというカップラーメンも提供しているし、こんなことまでやってくれるのかとかなりサービスが良く気に入っています。 また是非とも利用したいホテルですね！
