Dormy Inn Express Meguro Aobadai Hot Spring

I love this Japanese drama called "Good Morning Call" on Netflix... and it takes place in Meguro so they are always walking by the Meguro river red bridge, so I chose a hotel nearby because I'm a nerd. Anyway... a lot of the hotels I stayed at in Japan with the exception of the APA hotel chain have been small, I'm a 5'11 person, so sometimes the showers are too small and I'll hit my head on the top, or my knees hit the door when I use the restroom..Dormy Inn was WAY better than I thought it would be. It was so big I almost felt like I was in my own Japanese apartment. It is a little far from the subway/metro, but there are two stations: Naka Meguro and Ikejiri-Ōhashi Station. (Ikejiri was my favorite because it's near a grocery store). Dormy has a lot of amenities if you need them and also some free food and light drinks at night after 9pm (at least at the time of this posting). I really enjoyed the lighting in the hotel room, the private bathroom, and that I had two separate sink areas. It is also across the street from one of the largest Starbucks' in the world (seriously, look it up) it's a four story building. Expensive though, And down the street from a lot of breakfast, lunch and dinner locations, and an urban mall. Also the Meguro River is right outside the hotel and makes for some sexy night romantic strolls.

I think that they should have more pillows in the room. This is a weird thing to complain about I guess, but it was only one pillow. And I had to ask for another one. Just give people two pillows, because the pillows are really flat. Also they were doing construction by my room, so the view wasn't great, but that's what walking around outside is for. Also, they need to get rid of that sexist women can only use the baths on the weekends rule. I was unable to use the Onsen at the hotel because of this rule as I was out late on the weekends and the hours need to be extended. Men can use the Onsen on the weekdays and they can use it until 2am, and the woman until 10pm or 11pm on the weekend. That's crazy.

The rooms were bigger than expected for Tokyo

Great amenities, has a hot bath and sauna available for use. Great location, steps away from the Starbucks Reserve Roastery. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Rooms are a bit small but the price and location offsets this.

This hotel is in a great position, it's a very nice area and nice and quiet on the river. Easy walk to a few stations including about 15-20 mins walk to Shibuya station. I was in the king room and it was spacious and clean.

I was on the second floor and the windows were frosted, so couldn't actually see outside. Unsure if its the same on the higher floors.
