Minshuku Chatamago

My stay was pleasant enough. The owner is a nice man, there's a pretty garden on the property, it's in a quiet location and the property has a lot of character. It is an older Japanese house. If you're into that, it's a good place to stay. If you prefer Western-style business hotels, this might be a challenge. There is a kitchen which is adequate for basic cooking. There are two toilets -- one Western, one squat. Although a bit away from the centre of Nagasaki, three tram stops from Nagasaki, it's not a difficult walk to the major sites. There is a free washing machine on the property. For the price, it's a good value. There are some shortcomings that come with the property's age, but the price makes up for that.

There were a few small things. For example, there was mildew on the ceiling of the shower room and the toilet wasn't really cleaned as much as it could be. Nothing was terrible or completely off-putting, however.

I liked that it was only 80 CAD for a 2 night stay. The shower worked great, the room was small but everything I needed, water runs great and adjusts temperature quickly, host left ample instructions on how to check in. The downsides are the location: it was way up in the hills, a good 20 minute walk from the central station and the information if not entered in Japanese will lead you to the wrong location. The bed wasn’t very supportive but I think that’s because I’m much bigger than the average guest being over six feet tall and 180 lbs.

Nice staff anf clean room

Its REALLY cold in the winter, the room has almost no heat isolation

Location was a little far from downtown, but I preferred this. I had the back house which was awesome.

The shower situation was a little sketchy

The owner was so kind in showing me around and explaining to me about everything. The bed didn't look comfortable first, but I actually had a good night sleep. There is a table and chair and hangers and enough space to put your luggage inside the room. There's also a kitchen with hot water and tea bags offered for the guests.

The ceiling of the bathroom looked a little not clean, also the room has some of black dirt in the corners and there was a living small bug on my futon, but I managed to get rid of it 😂 The guest house is located in a hill, there are too many stairs to climb to reach there, so people with suitcases will definitely have a hard time to get there.
