Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly situated on the square in the middle of town with convenient free parking and offers a great value for money stay. The rooms are spacious, but some aspects could be improved. The service is top-notch with a lovely welcome drink upon arrival, yet some areas could be more attentive. The location is ideal for exploring the beautiful area, however, noise levels can be a drawback. The dining options, including afternoon tea, are delightful but may feel slightly overpriced. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, contributing to a pleasant stay.
The hotel is ideally located in the heart of town with convenient free parking. The rooms offer ample space for crating dogs, but the slope to the Shoemaker pub might be a challenge for some. The service is attentive, and the hotel provides a warm welcome drink. The dining, featuring local Nagasaki rice, is a delightful culinary experience.
The hotel is wonderfully located in a beautiful part of the world, right on the hills with convenient free parking. The rooms are spacious and the service is top-notch, with a lovely welcome drink. However, the dining experience could use improvement with more variety in salads. The facilities are excellent, making it a great value for the price.
