Hotel Indigo Nagasaki Glover Street by IHG

This is a fantastic hotel with exceptional service; it truly feels like a home away from home. The breakfast restaurant is unique, located inside a church, and the main hotel building is a renovated century-old monastery.

The hotel bedding is comfortable, and the service is warm and attentive. The facilities are complete, and the soundproofing is good. Overall, the stay experience was excellent, offering great value for money. It's highly recommended, and the staff are very enthusiastic. It's a hotel with a lot of character.

I stayed here during the Lantern Festival. The breakfast in the cathedral was a highlight, but beyond that, the room was spacious, the amenities were excellent, and everything was incredibly clean, all at a very reasonable price. It was perfect. I'd love to stay here again the next time I visit Nagasaki.

The staff are incredibly friendly, and the facilities are brand new, which is fantastic. If you're ever in Nagasaki, you absolutely must stay at Hotel Indigo. And definitely make sure to get the breakfast!

This hotel boasts a wonderful location in a picturesque part of the city, right next to Glover Garden. It's the only hotel here, and it's truly magnificent. Housed in a meticulously restored historic building, it features modern amenities and offers stunning bay views. Everything you need for a comfortable stay and pleasant strolls around the area is here. The rooms are spacious with luxurious interiors and comfortable beds. Every detail has been thought of, from the coffee machine and bathrobes to all the toiletries. Getting here might be a bit of a trek, as the hotel is on a hill, about a 10-15 minute uphill walk from public transport stops. However, this is more than compensated for by its incredibly quiet location, free from bustling traffic and crowds. I'd like to give a special shout-out to one of the hotel staff, Peiyun Lin! She is an exceptional professional with excellent English (she's from Taiwan), gracious, and competent – an ideal employee. She responded instantly to our problem when we found a large cockroach in the bathroom! She arrived quickly with special products to treat the area. If only there were more employees like her! Thank you!

Mixed feelings about this place. On one hand, the hotel itself is really beautiful. Clean rooms, and the breakfast area is designed in a church style. They offer two breakfast options – European and Japanese – both of which we tried and found quite good. There's also a small, pleasant terrace with a view of the port. Plus, a lounge with free tea from a dispenser and local cookies. So, it all sounds good, but everything comes with a catch. Upon check-in, they require a deposit, either by card or cash, to cover the minibar, with the amount depending on the length of your stay. This is the first hotel in Japan in three years of traveling where such a deposit was requested. Even at the oldest ryokan in Arima (which also had a minibar), they managed without it. The staff gives off a vibe of being frankly intimidated. During breakfast, the poor girls feel compelled to pretend to be busy, scrutinizing tables and swooping in like vultures at the first opportunity. They try hard, but their efforts feel a bit overdone. There's no smoking area in the hotel; they give you a portable ashtray at the front desk and send you to the parking lot. The public umbrellas are also in need of some repair. If you're arriving with large suitcases, it's best to take a taxi. The hill from the bus stop to the hotel is almost a 70-degree incline and quite long. Overall, it's not terrible, but all these little imperfections accumulate into a general feeling of background discomfort. Still, it is beautiful, yes.
