Niimi Vacations from ￥41,374

Given a name like “Dormy” was not sire what to expect. This hotel had a lot of “extras” included, like the onsen bath, bot indoor and outside versions. Free ramen after 9:30, free icecream and massage chairs on the 9th floor. It was very close to the main historic part of Kurashiki, literally across the street. The rooms were a little small, bit the bed was comfortable. Also had laundry seevicrw for guests.

Everything was clean and the onset on the roof was fantastic.

Not in walking distance to ferry as advertised. Had to take the shuttle but was only available in the mornings. Otherwise had to take a taxi to hotel. It was also attached to a bicycle racing track with betting, Keirin, an Olympic sport invented by the Japanese. The hotel onsen closed when the competitors were on site— one of the few amenities in this minimalist hotel. It is not a good place from which to visit the art island of Naoshima. Net time, I will definitely stay there. The hotel was expensive for where it was and the few amenities that were available.

Great stay. Very comfortable beds and room. Close to station and historical district. Laundry facilities would be great, none provided. Overall fantastic.

Location was great as it was connected to the undergroumd pathways to sunway etcs amd 5th floor to BIC Camera store which was awesome!
