Giappone: hotel con internet nella provincia di Prefettura di Aomori

Grande hotel a piedi dalla stazione ferroviaria. Siamo stati bloccati nella sospensione di servizio di Shinkansen e abbiamo dovuto ottenere un'altra notte a Aomori, controllato all'hotel La stanza è piccola, ma pulita e tutto all'interno funziona bene. Il personale è stato estremamente utile e amichevole. In generale in Giappone si paga per uno spazio basicamente, perché tutto il resto è sempre impeccabile in quegli hotel di stile commerciale più piccolo.

Check-in was very smooth. In fact, they allowed us to check in earlier - about 1 to 2 hours earlier, I think. The room was already ready, so they allocated it to us when we arrived. The room itself was rather small but functional and clean, so we don’t really have any complaints other than it being a bit small. I guess this is Japanese standards. The pricing is fairly more expensive than the inns across the road, perhaps because of the location and also because it is very new. The property itself has a very nice onsen. The female onsen had a lot of apples floating in it, which was a very nice touch to showcase Aomori apples. The front desk staff are very nice and very friendly. They also have staff who can speak Chinese. Not that I am Chinese, but I can speak some Chinese better than Japanese, which I can’t speak at all. Nevertheless, the staff could converse in English, or at least some basic English. There’s free yoga and some classes, but we didn’t utilise them as it’s not really useful for tourists who would rather spend time outside the hotel. This seems more suited for locals who want a short getaway, but still a very lovely touch. Breakfast is paid separately and does not come with the room, so there is no comment on that. The property provides Nespresso capsules in the room, and there is also a better Nespresso machine near the check-in counter. I also love that they provide water for free without having to pay extra. The lounge is available for everybody and overlooks the bridge. They provide some free snacks and drinks depending on the timing - different items in the morning and in the evening. That being said, there is no alcohol being served. Also, the coffee there is very bad. I don’t understand why they don’t put the Nespresso machine in the lounge since they have one at the lobby. Overall, everything was quite perfect for this hotel. In fact, the location was the most perfect part. Once you exit the train station, you enter an elevator that goes up to the hotel. Since it was winter, I was afraid I would need to drag my bags for a long time, but it’s right outside the exit after you tap your card and turn left. If I remember correctly, the elevator is right there and there is no need to go outside at all. However, there are only two elevators servicing the entire building, so there might be some waiting time. I would advise leaving earlier if you have a train to catch. The only reason this is not a full-star review is because I requested about a one-hour late checkout due to our train time, and they told us we needed to pay - if I remember correctly, ¥2,000 per hour. I felt they were very rigid about the 11 am checkout time. To be honest, even if they had given it to us, we probably wouldn’t have used it anyway, as we later decided to change our train time to leave Aomori, since there isn’t much to do here. Still, the rejection and inflexibility made us feel very uneasy and unwelcome. I think they could have handled this better by being less rigid and more human. So that’s minus points from us. After all, this is part of hospitality, and it doesn’t hurt.

Viaggiavo con i miei 2 bambini, abbiamo prenotato una camera con 3 letti, spaziosa per noi, posizione molto vicina alla stazione. Forniscono servizi come lavatrice di denti, lavatrice di faccia, caffè, tè, lavanderia di monete, Lawson sul primo piano, ricevimento sul secondo piano.

La camera era molto piccola, non c'era un  armadio, ma un piccolo angolo all'ingresso dove appendere qualche vestito, ed era impossibile tenere le valigie aperte. La TV era disposta a fianco al letto, non di fronte, quindi era molto scomoda da guardare, e inoltre si potevano vedere solo pochi canali della tv giapponese. Il letto era attaccato alla parete, quindi per chi dormiva da quella parte era un po' scomodo coricarsi e alzarsi. Purtroppo per la colazione non era possibile avere un cappuccino, ma c'erano uova strapazzate, lo yogurt, pane, verdure varie, miele, fagottini alla mela e croissant e frutta varia.

Room is clean and spacious. There is free water dispenser every floor, you can try Aomori apple juice at the hotel. I love the idea that you can choose the cleaning or not cleaning on the television. You can also see the status of the laundry on the television. The location is abit far from Aomori station but I think it’s okay. There is a direct bus from Aomori airport to the hotel. There is a convenience store nearby.

Had a fantastic stay at Dormy Inn Aomori Natural Hot Spring. The location is very convenient, close to Aomori Station and within easy reach of nearby restaurants and attractions. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was cozy, and the overall atmosphere was quiet and restful. A major highlight was the natural hot spring bath—absolutely excellent for relaxing after a long day. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, with both indoor and outdoor bathing options that made the experience even better. The complimentary late-night ramen was also a great touch, adding extra value to the stay. Staff were friendly, polite, and efficient throughout. Overall, a very comfortable and enjoyable stay with great amenities and excellent value. Highly recommended when visiting Aomori!

Dormy Inn chain hotels rarely disappoint me, and this still holds for Hirosaki one. It is close to Hirosaki Castle rather than Hirosaki Station, but the city has a circular bus that runs every 10 min., and the bus stop for the hotel is just across the road, so it’s not a problem for those who arrive by train. The room is moderate in size by Japan business hotel standard, but it has the added benefits of offering relaxation onsens. As usual, its onsens have both open and indoor pools. This hotel also has cold water pool and sauna. You get free Yakult in the morning, ice pops in the afternoon till late evening. I recommend.

La struttura è molto vecchia e gli appartamenti possono essere sostituiti. Non c'è aria condizionata, l'hotel fissa la temperatura e si sceglie quanto aprire il vento. Purtroppo il sigillo sulla finestra della mia stanza è stato rotto, così ero molto freddo e c'era un sacco di rumore stradale. Il letto era confortevole, ma le luci nella mia stanza si sbrighivano e, in generale, credo che gli apparecchi debbano essere sostituiti. Ho apprezzato la curry e il riso, ma anche le porte non si chiudevano automaticamente e ero un po' spaventato, perché ero una donna che rimasi sola. Non importa per il prezzo, ma penso che se sostituissero gli arredamento, sarebbe molto meglio.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The location was convenient, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, a pleasant stay and good value for money.

Posizione dell'hotel: vicino alla stazione ferroviaria JR, a circa dieci minuti a piedi. Nelle vicinanze ci sono molti ristoranti e due o tre centri commerciali dove fare shopping. Colazione in hotel: molto buona, non c'è molta scelta, ma ogni pietanza è preparata con cura. Il succo di mela, il pane, ecc. prodotti ad Aomori sono deliziosi. Servizi dell'hotel: relativamente vecchi, ma ben tenuti e comunque confortevoli. Servizio dell'hotel: molto buono, ho chiesto una camera tranquilla e me l'hanno accontentata.
