forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.46 out of 5 (1,681 reviews). A family traveling with two elementary school children says the kids were thrilled with breakfast, the after-bath ice pops and the free ramen at night. Guests also mention how pleasant the communal bath and open-air bath are, and how handy the convenience store right in front and a nearby katsudon (pork cutlet rice bowl) restaurant are. On the other hand, some point out that the rooms are small, as at a business hotel, and others say there are no family restaurants nearby, which makes meals a little inconvenient with young children.

Overview
Dormy Inn Mito stands about a 12-minute walk from the north exit of Mito Station, with Kobai no Yu, a natural onsen communal bath, on the top floor. All rooms are non-smoking and have Simmons beds, and room types such as doubles, queens and twins range from 16.4 to 21 sq m. No room has a bathtub, so bathing mostly means the communal bath on the 10th floor. Co-sleeping is limited to one child per bed, and it is free for ages 0-2 and 3,000 yen for children from age 3 through elementary school. Cribs, rollaway beds and extra beds are not available.
Rooms
All rooms are non-smoking, and every room has Simmons beds. The Double Room is about 16.4 sq m with a bed 140 cm wide, and the Queen Room is about 16.4 sq m with a bed 160 cm wide. The Twin Room is about 20.5 sq m with two beds 120 cm wide, and the Handicap Double is about 21 sq m with one bed 140 cm wide. Every room type is listed for 2 guests, and because no extra beds are available, there is no room that can sleep 3 adults. When a Rakuten Travel plan shows a capacity of 3 or 4, that number includes children who are co-sleeping. Every room has a shower booth only, with no bathtub, so if you want a proper soak you will need to use the communal bath. All rooms have individually controlled air conditioning with an air-purifying function, a refrigerator, an electric kettle and a safe.
Dining
Breakfast is a Japanese and Western buffet at the restaurant Hatago on the first floor, served from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. (last entry 9 a.m.). It costs 2,000 yen for adults and 1,000 yen for children from age 3 through elementary school, and it is free for ages 2 and under. Breakfast is served to staying guests only. Because it is a buffet, the kitchen does not create individual allergy-specific menus or serve dishes with particular ingredients removed, and cooking utensils and oil are shared with other allergenic foods. Families traveling with a child who has allergies need to consult the hotel in advance. At night, from 9:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., there is a free serving of yonaki soba (late-night noodles), a light soy-sauce ramen. As an after-bath treat, ice pops are served free of charge from 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. the next morning, and lactic acid drinks from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. As for baby chairs, the FAQ shared across Dormy Inn hotels says they are lent free of charge and that numbers are limited, so requests cannot always be met. However, there is no information specific to this hotel on its own facility page, on Rakuten Travel or on Ikyu.com, so if you need one for a young child, please confirm directly with the hotel when booking. There is no room service.
Baths and Onsen
On the 10th floor, the top floor, is Kobai no Yu, a natural onsen communal bath with separate baths for men and women, open from 3 p.m. to 10 a.m. the next morning. Mixed bathing with children is in principle allowed up to age 6 (if the municipality where the hotel is located sets its own age limit by ordinance, that limit takes precedence), and older children use the bath for the same gender as their guardian. There is an indoor bath, an open-air bath, a cold plunge bath and a high-temperature sauna, and the spring water is a sodium-calcium sulfate spring. The sauna alone is closed from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. Towels may not be put in the tubs, swimsuits may not be worn, and guests with tattoos may not bathe. Whether children who are not yet out of diapers may enter the tubs is not stated, so please confirm in advance. There is no private-hire bath.
Family-Friendly Features
Co-sleeping is limited to one child per bed, so a double room takes up to 2 adults plus 1 co-sleeping child, and a twin room up to 2 adults plus 2 co-sleeping children. Co-sleeping is free for ages 0-2 and 3,000 yen for children from age 3 through elementary school. If a child needs a bed of their own, the adult rate applies even for elementary school age and younger, and junior high school students and older pay the same rate as adults. Some plans do not accept co-sleeping, so please check when booking. Cribs and rollaway beds are not available, but the hotel adds that it will do everything it can so children can stay safely and with peace of mind, and invites you to talk to the front desk. For baby bathtubs and bed guards, the FAQ shared across Dormy Inn hotels only says that availability differs by property, and there is no information specific to this hotel. If you are traveling with an infant and need bedding or bathing items, please contact the hotel before booking. Children's roomwear comes in one size, 120 cm, and the free front-desk rental items include children's in-house slippers. Humidifiers and thermometers can also be borrowed free of charge, in limited numbers. Shared microwaves on the 6th and 9th floors can be used to warm baby food. The shared area on the 10th floor has 4 washing machines and 4 dryers; the washing machines, which add detergent automatically, are free, and the dryers cost 100 yen for 20 minutes. The women's communal bath also has 4 of each, and the men's communal bath 3 of each. There is no babysitting service.
Access
The hotel is about a 12-minute walk from the north exit of Mito Station on the JR Joban Line, and about 20 minutes from Mito IC on the Joban Expressway. Parking is an automated multi-level parking garage with 52 spaces, at 1,000 yen per night from 3 p.m. to 11 a.m. the next morning. Spaces are strictly first-come, first-served, so when it is full you will be directed to pay parking lots nearby. A Lawson convenience store sits across the road from the main entrance, handy for picking up anything you run short of at night. Check-in is at 3 p.m. and checkout is at 11 a.m. Front desk staff are on duty 24 hours, so a late arrival is not a problem. Checkout can be extended for 1,000 yen per person per hour, though this may not be possible depending on how booked the hotel is that day.
