My stay at Dormy Inn Premium Kyoto Ekimae was a fantastic experience overall. The location couldn't be better, just a quick five-minute walk from Kyoto Station. I loved the on-site onsen, although I did notice a bit of chlorine smell. While my room was a decent size, it did feel a bit dated and gloomy. But with free ramen every night and complimentary drinks, I felt like I got great value for my stay.

My stay at Dormy Inn Premium Kyoto Ekimae was pretty great overall. The location was unbeatable, just a short walk from Kyoto Station, making it super convenient to explore the area. The hot springs were lovely and relaxing, and the complimentary late-night ramen was such a nice touch after a busy day. However, I did find the rooms a bit small compared to what I'm used to, and the chairs in the twin room could use some comfort upgrades.

The twin room was small, but cozy enough for my stay. The chairs, though, were quite hard and lacked back support. A little more comfort would go a long way.

My stay at Dormy Inn Premium Kyoto Ekimae was comfortable, especially given its proximity to Kyoto Station, just a short walk away. The breakfast spread was impressive and tasty, and I really appreciated the complimentary ramen at night, which was a great way to unwind after a busy day. However, I found the room to be a bit small and dated compared to other hotels I've stayed at, making it a little cramped. Overall, I had a positive experience and left feeling satisfied! 😊
