The hotel is situated in the heart of the city, just a short walk from the station towards the cathedral. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but the dining experience with local Nagasaki rice was a bit plain. The service was excellent with assistance in carrying luggage upon check-out. The location is convenient for exploring the city center and very close to the Duomo. Overall, good value for money, but some facilities could be improved.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is just perfect, close to the city center and within walking distance of the train station and great restaurants. The room with a view was cozy and had a fridge, but I wish it was a bit more modern. The service was top-notch, especially when they helped me with my luggage during checkout. Dining options were satisfactory with a nice barista-made drink included in the budget-friendly menu. The facilities were good, though not luxurious.

I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel is right at the heart of the city, surrounded by great restaurants and just a short walk from the cathedral. The rooms were clean, the service top-notch, and the price was definitely worth it. However, the lack of a fridge in the room was a bit disappointing.
