Nagasaki House Burabura

sea view, quiet location, nice staff. no breakfast due to coronavirus so they offered us a bottle of sake to compensate. possibility to swim (sea is just across the road) but no beach, just stairs going directly to the sea.

old, not really clean, public bath was empty and not clean. I took a very quick shower, do not feel confortable to stay longer in the public bathroom. you have to pay for the towels.

The view from the room was spectacular! Good facilities regarding the kitchen. Reasonably close to a supermarket.

The bus system was tricky for us as people who didn’t speak Japanese. The property tried its best and gave instructions but it’s really easy to get the wrong bus. The beds were really uncomfortable but got the job done. There are no private shower options if you’re not so fond of communal bathing. The walls a really thin so it can be hard to sleep when other guests are loud (which happened to us).

The location was great. The fishing small town was very interesting. One should know that transportation takes much longer than expected during the rush hours.

- It was more expensive than any other hostel I stayed in Kyushu, but the service and the facility were worse than others. - The bathroom facility was old, cold, and dirty. - The bedroom was very cold and it was difficult to adjust the temperature. - The structure was confusing because it was converted from a Ryoutei restaurant. I couldn't find a kitchen area (it's far from the dining room) and asked an employee, but I was scolded as if I was the dumbest guest. The quality of service was very un-Japanese.
