Hotel Nagasaki

Nagasaki


This polished hotel, with spacious rooms and decent-size bathrooms, is about seven minutes' walk from Nagasaki Station and right across from a tram stop. Breakfast (¥1000 extra) is served in the 15th-floor dining room, with sweeping views south towards the harbour or north to the hills and Urakami. The best part, though, is the caring, practically doting, service.
