Fully Furnished Private Single Rooms
Dormy’s rooms are completely private, ensuring your privacy. They come with all the necessary furniture from the start, allowing you to begin your life immediately upon moving in. We offer a wide range of room types, from simple and functional rooms to those with baths, toilets, and kitchens.
Comfortable Shared Facilities + Services
In addition to private rooms, Dormy offers convenient shared facilities like a dining hall, laundry room, large communal bath, and lounge. These facilities not only significantly reduce the time you spend on chores like cooking and cleaning but also serve as a place for sharing information and spending time with friends.
Freshly Prepared Delicious Meals Every Day
Meals at Dormy are handmade with care in our local kitchen, not outsourced to catering centers. This approach ensures that “hot dishes stay hot, and cold dishes stay cold,” providing a delicious, enjoyable, and safe dining experience.

Living alone, you don’t have family nearby to help in times of need. Providing the reassurance that a dependable adult is close by in case of emergencies is part of Dormy’s mission. The dorm manager and dorm mother are stationed in the dorm to provide support. Consult them at any time with any worries, no matter how small.
