"Dormy Inn" is a business hotel 

that has branches all over Japan,

mainly in massive cities such as Tokyo, 

Osaka, Nagoya, Kyoto, Hakata, Sendai, and Sapporo. 

Because it has a strong impression as business hotel,

students may not be familiar with it, 

but in fact, students are very welcome!

 

On the contrary, it has become clear 

that it is a strong ally for test-takers.

This time, we interviewed with Mr. Fujii,

Deputy General Manager of the Dormy Inn Business Division

 of Kyoritsu Maintenance Co., 

Ltd., which operates the hotel.

 

 

“The Dormy Inn” near university bustles 

with students taking entrance exams every year!

 

Some people may think that business hotels

are not familiar with test-takers,

but that's not actually the case. 

In fact, even as of today (December 2022),

“Dormy Inn” hotels in Tokyo have been receiving 

many reservations from test-takers, 

and business hotels close to universities 

in particular are almost fully booked.

 

 For example, “Kasuganoyu Dormy Inn Korakuen” in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo,

is close to the University of Tokyo and

is booked by a considerable number of test-takers every year. 

There are both single and twin rooms,

 so those taking the test alone often use the single rooms, 

and those staying with their parents often use the twin rooms.

 

 

Can you tell us what feedback you received 

from those who have stayed here for exams?

 

Since there is a desk which has a plenty of

space students can study in the rooms, 

that is a big plus for exam-takers.

I also think that the meal and bath services,

which are a feature of “Dormy Inn”, 

are highly valued for their merit to relax and refresh. 

 

From a parent's perspective, they would like

students to concentrate on their studies, 

so I think they would not like students to be worried about meals. 

We are confident that exam-takers can use

our facilities with peace of mind in that regard. 

There are also cases where parents have stayed

at Dormy Inn in the past and

have already understood the quality of the meals.

 

 

 

 

 

We have a quality-conscious public bath, 

so I think it is the perfect place

for exam candidates to refresh themselves. 

 

You can bathe as many times as you like during your stay,

so if they are tired of your studies, 

they can go to the public bath to refresh and then study later, 

or if they are too nervous and can't sleep, 

they can take a long bath and get a good, deep sleep.

 

It is actually quite difficult for exam candidates to change their mood, 

as it is not good for them to lose concentration too much, 

but I think it is just right to relax 

and refresh with a meal and a bath service.

 

 

 

 

 

Reasons why "Dormy Inn" is recommended for test-takers

 

As I mentioned in another article,

“Dormy Inn” is a business hotel that was born on the basis

of student and company dormitories. 

 

Most other business hotels have the impression 

of being "extraordinary spaces,

"but “Dormy Inn” is based on the idea of being"

a relaxing space that is an extension of daily life.

"This is a big difference. 

 

Therefore, the space places more importance

 on practicality than design, 

and the lighting is bright and comfortable

rather than dim and atmospheric.

 

 

 

 

 

What our staff keeps in mind during exam season

 

First of all, we clean and maintain the large public bath. 

As a sign of good luck,

we try to be extra careful not to slip on the floor. 

We also offer desk lamps for free, 

though the number is limited.

 

Another important thing is to respond to problems.

During exam season,it can snow, 

and trains are expected to be significantly delayed. 

 

When unexpected problems occur, 

the most important thing is "information".

 That's why all of our staff brace ourselves at this term, 

so that they can obtain information properly 

and provide it frequently so that they can provide

as much support as possible in the event of a problem.

 

 

 

 

 

Where is the “Dormy Inn” that's popular among test-takers?

 

I'd say the hotels which simply are

have many users rather than popular, 

one is "Kasuga no Yu Dormy Inn Korakuen" in Tokyo. 

The other is "Natural Hot Spring Rokka no Yu Dormy Inn Kumamoto" 

in Kumamoto City. 

 

This hotel is easily accessible from Kumamoto University, 

but the opening day of the hotel coincided 

with the entrance exam day, 

so it was fully booked from the first day. 

There are nearly 300 guest rooms in total,

so I remember it was hectic on the day.

 

 

 

 

 

Message to students and their parents

 

Reservations fill up quickly during exam season,

 so it's best to make your reservation early.

And once you've been accepted into the university of you applied, 

we hope you will consider Dormy Inn 

when you come here to look for housing. 

 

Also, we would be very happy 

if you would consider Dormy Gakusei-kaikan. 

Dormy Inn is also looking to improve its support measures 

for students who take exams, 

so we hope you keep Dormy Inn in the back of your mind 

when staying at a hotel during exams.

 

 

 

What do you think? We hope this will be helpful 

when choosing your housing.
