Kawanehon Hotels & Accommodations

I stayed at the Dormy Inn for 3 nights during the rugby World Cup. First let me state that there is very little to do in Kakegawa apart from visiting the castle, so if you are heading here as a tourist there are probably better places to stay. Back to the hotel ! I arrived a little early (around 12) and my room was not available , so I had to leave my bags in reception and wait until around 3pm to get my key. There was no issue with the language barrier. The hotel is not far from the station with a 10 minute walk along the main road getting you there. The room itself was average size for Japan, but the outlook from the window was pretty bleak onto a back alley. However, it was clean and comfortable there were no issues with the exception of the pillows which were rock hard. All amenities were available in the room although the sink being in the bedroom rather than the shower area was a little strange. The Wi-fi was perfect, but dont look for any English language station on the TV as there was none. In terms of restaurant, there is one for breakfast with a reasonable selection of both Western and Japanese food. I never saw it open during the day or evening. However, as a bonus it does open up around 9.30 in the evening with free ramen noodles for the hungry. Coffee is always available on demand in the foyer which is another good point. On top of the hotel is a typical Japanese thermal bath...great for the aches after a busy day ! All in all a good hotel for the price.....

The large communal bath before the renovation was reserved. Turn the bills over during common use ～. When I stayed for the first time in several years because of the renewal this time, the usage time was only two hours in the morning and night by the men and women replacement system. This cannot be used unless the time is adjusted, and it is small even if it is a large communal bath. There were only two locker keys. By the way, I used it after 18:00, but I'm already using it alone. At most, there are about 3 people, so take a bath while paying attention. However, I was able to relax a little after one came out, so I think it was better than taking a room bath. I ate the breakfast buffet for the first time, but it was renovated and beautiful, and I think the price was good for 700 yen, but the chair is a stool on a counter table like McDonald's, so it's good for a light meal. But it's not like enjoying the buffet slowly. Also, I was happy that there was a homemade pudding made in a small bottle, but I couldn't eat all the bottom because there was no small spoon for dessert (laughs). The set may be better. Also, it is a negative point for me that the windows in the room are not open. In conclusion, although the room rate is cheap, is it a large communal bath of the population hot spring? With! ?? There is a drink service and there is no discomfort in the hotel itself, so I don't think the overall evaluation is bad, but it is still a difficulty that it is quite far from the station. Since Ichiou is a population hot spring, I felt that the satisfaction would be better if I paid 500 yen per person for 45 minutes by charter reservation system (in that case, I would like to have a morning at a nice cafe in Hitoshuku Town even if it is far away, so stay again I want to do it.

I only had a place to stay at a reasonable price on a sudden business trip, and I saw the word of mouth that it smelled on the hotel reservation site, but I booked it as better than overseas hotels. It was a room of about 2DK when I was told at check-in that there was only a large room. It was old and dusty, and the toilet cleaning was appropriate and above all, the smell of sewage was full, and I was worried about whether I could spend a day. Even if I turned all the ventilation fans in the bathroom, toilet and kitchen, I couldn't get this smell and closed the partition of the bedroom which was still better and stayed at night. It is a very unpleasant stay and a business trip that requires a sudden stay, and if there is only an inn here, I think it would be better to go to a different station and stay. One good thing is that there is a tuna specialty store called Shimizu Port Minami, which is popular for tourists, next door. I will never stay again as I say many times. I stayed at such a smelly hotel for the first time.

The location is really good. And it's great to have your own private room at this price. The space in the room for suitcases is vague. All basic facilities are neatly equipped. The shower room was spacious and comfortable, and I used the washer and dryer well. Highly recommended :)

It was very beautiful and nice. It was convenient because I could go to the station and restaurants right away 😊 If I could stay at this price, I would use it again.
