2-Star Hotels in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan

This hostel has some genuinely strong points, but also several issues that stop it from being a great stay. It’s very much a mix of highs and lows. The positives: The common room is comfortable, with very good sofas and fast Wi-Fi (though it occasionally drops out — a router upgrade would easily fix this). There’s a shared kitchen with a labelled fridge, and the location is excellent for exploring Nagasaki. Dorm rooms are good value for the price. Bed spaces are a decent size, with excellent blackout curtains that block light even if others leave the lights on. You also get a small lockbox for valuables. The negatives: Check-in is fully self-service with no reception. You’re given a folder with rules and keys, but if you need help, there’s no clear support — which can be stressful, especially for travellers without phone SIMs. There is no lift. I stayed on the fourth floor, and the narrow stairs make carrying luggage difficult. Facilities per floor are also limited: only one toilet and one shower shared between multiple dorms, plus the washer and dryer on the same floor, which feels insufficient and awkward. Extras are all paid separately (towels, toothbrushes, earplugs, etc.). A towel really should be included at this price. Guests are also expected to ***** their own bedsheets at checkout, which feels excessive. The common room layout could be improved. A large hammock takes up space and reduces seating — replacing it with chairs or bar seating would make the area far more usable. There were also staff or long-term workers frequently occupying the common room, which made the space feel less guest-focused. Air conditioning is locked and cannot be adjusted, so if you’re too hot or cold, you have no control. Would I stay again? As a backpacker on a very tight budget, yes — tahe location and price make it workable. But if you can afford it, I’d recommend paying more for a private room nearby. There are many hotels in the area offering much better comfort and support.

The hostel is nice with a nice layout that gives you some privacy. However since every bed has its own light people just kept it on the whole night so I couldn’t sleep. Also the dormitory is small and showers and toilets are inside the room and people started to use the hairdryer early in the morning. The owners are nice tho, and when I complaint they gave me an eye mask as a gift which was very thoughtful. Location is great.

The hotel is clean and newly renovated. It’s so good - there’s washer and dryer in the room (bring own detergent). Bathroom has bathtub. Public baths separated for men and women. There’s table tennis with bats and balls, at the lounge, for guests. Carpark is just at doorstep. Beautiful view - beach is about 10mins in front and 7-11 in front of hotel. Would stay again. Delicious bento Breakfast is and has alot.

Stayed in the capsule hotel near Bus station. It's on the 2nd floor and accessible only via an elevator. By looking at it felt like it was a new establishment. I'd recommend it for anyone who wants to avoid hostels.

The location is a bit uphill, but it's not too far, so it's suitable, and the owner is very kind. The only thing is that the bed is a little uncomfortable. It feels like two mattresses were combined into one, so I couldn't sleep well. The bathroom and shower aren't in a separate room, but are in the space next to the bed, so if you come in late and wash up, you'll be really self-conscious.

Near the glasses bridge, there are 711 and the whole family next to it. The hotel is very new, very clean, the front desk is very friendly, there is a handsome Taiwanese who can speak Chinese, the room space is particularly large, the only bad thing is that there is no microwave oven, you need to go to the opposite 711 heating bento.

A very clean, professionally run, well-managed place in a convenient location. They allowed us to change our room on the first night because of a slight smell, which was very kind. The second room had no issues. We appreciated having a bathroom with a drying function, since that made it possible to dry our clothes. My only minor criticism is that the pots in the kitchen were non-stick ones that were scorched and scratched, and there were no larger plates.

First off, the location is excellent, right near Chinatown, which made getting around super convenient – no complaints there. As for the downsides, there are mainly two: 1. Poor soundproofing: At night, someone's snoring sounded like it was right next to my ear. Even earplugs couldn't block it out; it was just too loud. 2. Bad light-blocking: The lights from the hallway made the sleeping pod really bright, so I had to wear an eye mask. Both of these issues really impacted my stay, and I honestly didn't get good rest during the two days I was there.

Booked for a night stay. I was able to add breakfast later. The sound of the next room may be noisy because the surroundings are quiet The bath is wide and you can take it slowly. I can't take it if I drink in town and get late. we didn't have slippers... I wonder if the bedding was a little hard and my back hurt. Location is in front of the sea. It is close to the beach and the best. The response at check-out was also good.

Beautiful traditional Ryokan, my room got both indoor and outdoor private onsen, the hotel is hidden in a forest hence super quiet and serene. Farm to table meals is a surprise; the inn have lands for rice crops, self grown mushrooms, and stable for goat and chickens. Lovely staff and good value for price.
