Minshuku Chatamago

Very cozy traditional Japanese style room. It is quite spacious and can fit 2 people comfortably. The location is alright, though it is up several flights of stairs. The owners were very nice though not always there so check-in isn't super smooth though not a problem.

The bathroom has no ventilation so it is a little mouldy and the location is hard to access for those with disabilities. Make sure you can carry your luggage.

Unfortunately very cold and thin futons.

This place represents amazing value for money. It is a very characterful guest-house in a quiet largely residential area. Admittedly the room I had was small, but one can hardly complain in view of the price paid. Also, there is a communal kitchen/dining room with free coffee provided and plenty of facilities for cooking your own meal. This was also an opportunity to relax away from the small bedroom and meet fellow travellers. The availability of self-catering facilities gives one even more scope for making this a very affordable place to stay. The owner does not live on site but good provision was made for gaining access to my room in his absence. Although the bathroom had to be shared with other guests, it is a small guest-house with only a few other people with whom to have to share the facilities. It is only a few minutes walk from a tram stop that gives good access to Nagasaki's main sights.

It is not a very easy place to find ! It is tucked away on a hillside in a residential area with no signage and I had to ask directions from a helpful local.

Very helpful and friendly personal!

The facilities in the kitchen were ok.

The room was shabby and the bed was very hard. The instructions for getting there were sent a bit late so I did not see them until after I got very lost. I did not realise towels were not provided.
