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.
