Dormy Inn Takamatsu sits in the Hyogo-machi district, roughly five minutes on foot from the city's covered shopping arcades and ten minutes from JR Takamatsu Station. The property belongs to the Dormy Inn chain, a Japanese business hotel brand recognised for offering natural hot spring bathing facilities at city-centre prices—an unusual combination that makes it consistently popular with both business and leisure travellers.
The building is a mid-rise urban hotel with a functional exterior; the interior follows the brand's characteristically efficient layout with compact but well-organised rooms. Natural hot spring water (sourced from a local well) feeds the rooftop bathing floor, which separates into large men's and women's bathing halls each with indoor hot spring pools, a sauna, and cold-water baths. Access is included in the room rate and available in both the evening and early morning.
Room categories run from snug singles to standard doubles and twins, all furnished with platform beds, work desks, and rainfall-style showers in the en-suite. Solid window glazing keeps rooms quiet despite the central location.
Dormy Inn's signature late-night ramen service—free bowls of tonkotsu-soy ramen served in the ground-floor lobby from 21:30 to 23:00—is a guest favourite and reduces the need to venture out after a long day of sightseeing. Vending machines and an ice machine are available on each floor; a coin laundry operates in the basement. The hotel does not serve full restaurant meals, but the Hyogo-machi and Marugamemachi areas within walking distance offer dozens of dining options including several renowned sanuki udon restaurants.

Tips for visiting
- The rooftop onsen fills between 20:00 and 22:00; go before 19:30 for a quieter soak or after 22:30 just before closing
- Dormy Inn's free ramen can run out—arrive in the lobby by 21:30 to be sure of a bowl
- Reserve early for weekend stays: the combination of onsen and competitive pricing keeps occupancy high year-round
- Rooms facing Hyogo-machi street can pick up arcade noise in the evening; request an upper-floor rear-facing room if noise is a concern
- Takamatsu's Marugamemachi covered arcade, one of the longest in Japan, is a five-minute walk—useful for grocery shopping at the basement supermarket
