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 strip 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.
Close to the check-in counter, but requires climbing stairs.
A bit of noise can be heard from both above and below.
This is a one-bedroom apartment, so it's very convenient.
Gas, sink, refrigerator, microwave, and even a washing machine are included.
Water pressure in the bathroom and toilet is excellent.
Very close to Nagasaki Station and the limousine bus terminal.
It seems like a newly built building, so the bath, toilet, refrigerator, and washroom were shared, but it felt clean.
There is no problem with the room either.
There is a coin laundry on-site, and a convenience store is conveniently located across the street.
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.
It takes less than 10 minutes to walk from Nagasaki Station. Just cross the overpass.
Go up the road to APA Hotel, but it takes a bit of stairs and a hill, so it may be difficult if you have a lot of luggage or heavy luggage.
The owners are friendly.
The partitions in the room are opaque, so it can be bright even if all the lights are turned off at night.
You need an eye mask. There is only one shower and toilet, so it is recommended to come in earlier than other guests and wash up. The same goes for the morning.
This is one of the best guesthouses I have stayed at so far, and I highly recommend it. The bedrooms are semi-private, so you can maintain a fair amount of privacy even though it is a guesthouse. The interior is decorated in white, giving it a clean feel. The location is close to Chinatown and the shopping district, making it convenient for sightseeing. The staff are also very friendly. A simple but complimentary breakfast is included. This is a guesthouse I would like to use again if I have the opportunity.
The owner is very kind, listens well and is kind. One thing I want is that if you pay more attention to hygiene, you will definitely be satisfied with more people. Thank you so much for a day! I want to go again later.
Coruscant 1: over the busy street (by bridge) from the main station but with double-glass sliding doors there was no noise inside. Check-in is at #2 hotel around the corner but instructions at the entrance guide you there. Our room was a nice apartment, comfortable bed, kitchen, separate toilet & bathroom. The airport bus terminal is only a half a block away.
I stayed at this hostel while traveling solo. It was my first time staying at a hostel, and it was much cleaner than I expected. First of all, the bedding was neatly organized, with no trash or leftover cleaning, so I was able to rest just like I would at a regular hotel. The shower room was shared, but everyone seemed to keep it clean, so it wasn't unpleasant. There were plenty of amenities available. The lounge on the 8th floor was a great place for people to chat and I felt it was a great place to connect with people in a foreign country. They also provided alcohol sprays, so it didn't look like it had been soiled by the previous user, and it felt very clean. I would definitely stay here again.
The clothes hanger attached to the bed in my shared room had been taken by a foreigner, including my own. I think this is something that individuals should be aware of, but I think it would have been nice to have a sign to make it clearer.
It seems that the period has not passed since the opening (as of January 26, when I stayed), and the facilities were clean and well-equipped.
The desk (in the room I stayed in) was made to be a desk or almost the length of the wall, and it was very easy to use.
It would have been better if it was a little cheaper.
Great

Very Good
PPriscilla00The 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.
AAKrSarkarStayed 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.

GGuest UserBeautiful 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.
