If you are carrying lots of luggage like us (coming in by train from a porcelain shopping spree in Arita), or are looking for a place to stay where you are well connected to buses, street cars and trains, this will be a great choice for you. The hotel is modern and super clean. There is a multi- storey shopping center next door with restaurants and fast food stalls. A great option I found is the one-day pass for street cars and for buses at 500 yen each that can be purchased on the street level of the station.

Just came back from 3 nights stay at JR Kyushu Hotel Nagasaki. The hotel is conveniently located just few steps away from JR ticket gate (you can see the escalator up to the hotel when you exit the gate). We arrived slightly earlier than 2 pm check-in time and to our surprise, the hotel allowed us to check-in. Really appreciate this as we took red-eye flight and didn’t really have enough sleep. Receptionists were very helpful especially the young gentleman whom we did not manage to get his name. We requested for extra pillows and he personally delivered them to our room within 10 minutes.

Our room is located on the top floor at the most corner so we had a nice view of the harbor and Mount Inasa. Despite situated next to the station and there is construction around the station, the room is very quiet. We hardly heard anything. You can access eateries at Amu Plaza from 5th floor, highly recommend Menya Always for its ramen (we ate there twice!) and a soba restaurant called Horse which serves nice yakitori and delicious fried chicken.

Overall, pleasant stay and we highly recommend the hotel! There was Tokyo 2020 Olympics event at the station concourse when we were there so definitely we are very pleased!
