Nagasaki Ik Hotel

“Semi-hidden gem”

Booked for us by Nippon travel agency in Kyoto when we were having trouble with our onward planning, we had never heard of this place. We didn't see another westerner, which we like. Front desk staff do speak English, it's on the map given out by the Tourist information desk at the Train station, and searchable in Google maps for directions. A few minutes' walk from train, 2 blocks from streetcar. Good restaurants within a 2-block radius. Nice if smallish rooms with good beds. Restaurant on premises, (breakfast 900 yen), coin laundry in garage. Wheeled access (not posted in English) is via elevator in garage to left of granite main entry stairs.

Stayed for 2 nights and booked at the last minute was the cheapest a available near the station in Nagasaki. Not too difficult to find from the station. It is on the free map from tourist info centre alternatively walk out of station take the stairs near the family mart and town the second set of stairs. Cross one small street then turn right after post office block. You will notice "IK" on the sign. They seem very strict on 1600 check in however will keep your bags. The staff are very friendly and speak enough English to sort things out. The room was a twin on 4th floor and I would agree is a bit dated and at times you could smell cigarettes through the aircon. Beyond that rooms were clean and quiet and large for the price range given previous hotels. It is an easy walk to station and spectacle bridge, the temple circuit and arcade. The atomic bomb museum is easily accessed by the tram, 500yen unlimited day pass or 120 per trip, or would be a solid 45 mins walk with not a lot of attractions along the way. At the amu plaza, less than 5 mins walk, you could find anything to suit your tastes and there are a few restaurants closer. Overall, good service and clean hotel for a good price, easy distance from station.

“Not a good base for sightseeing in Nagasaki”

長崎駅へ徒歩でも行けるほどに近く、安価に宿泊できる、という点のみが評価できるホテル。いずれの設備も古く、一見すると清潔に保たれているように見えるが、ところどころで清掃の手抜きが見受けられる。ビジネスホテルに一様に見られるバスルームの狭さは言うまでもない。 入り口は階段となっており、車椅子などの身体の不自由な方、大きな荷物を持っている方は利用しづらいように感じる（地下の駐車場からのエレベーターがあるだろうが）。 海外の安いホテルであればこの程度のサービスの質だろうと思うだろうが、日本のホテルの中では質は良くない。長崎観光の拠点としては不向きで、夜遅くにチェックインし朝早くに出発するための宿... more

長崎駅へ徒歩でも行けるほどに近く、安価に宿泊できる、という点のみが評価できるホテル。いずれの設備も古く、一見すると清潔に保たれているように見えるが、ところどころで清掃の手抜きが見受けられる。ビジネスホテルに一様に見られるバスルームの狭さは言うまでもない。 入り口は階段となっており、車椅子などの身体の不自由な方、大きな荷物を持っている方は利用しづらいように感じる（地下の駐車場からのエレベーターがあるだろうが）。 海外の安いホテルであればこの程度のサービスの質だろうと思うだろうが、日本のホテルの中では質は良くない。長崎観光の拠点としては不向きで、夜遅くにチェックインし朝早くに出発するための宿泊所として利用する方がいいだろう。 It is a hotel that can only be appreciated for two things: it is close enough to Nagasaki Station to be reached on foot, and it is an inexpensive place to stay. All of the facilities are old, and although at first glance they appear to be kept clean, there are signs that cleaning has been cut corners in some places. Needless to say, the bathrooms are small, which is common among business hotels. The entrance is a staircase, which I feel it is difficult to use for people with physical disabilities such as wheelchairs or people with large luggage (although there may be an elevator from the underground parking lot). You would think that this would be the quality of service at a cheap hotel outside of Japan, but the quality is not as good as it is in Japan. It is not suitable as a base for sightseeing in Nagasaki, and would be better used as a place to check in late at night and leave early in the morning.

I wanted a cheap hotel near Nagasaki station just for 1 night, well basically just to sleep overnight, and I got a great bargain at Nagasaki IK Hotel. It's not really easy to find, given the fact it's not located along the main road. But if you do your homework well, you can find it along the turn after the post office. The receptionist I met was an old lady who spoke no English, but was otherwise nice and gave me ropeway discount voucher to Mt Inasa. Travel information are readily available, and there's also a PC for use in the lobby. The room I booked was a tiny room just slightly larger than capsule, with a tiny bathtub, TV, fridge, aircon, and a single bed, it's an eye-opener how they managed to squeeze so many things inside. There's hardly any walking space after putting down my luggage and umbrella (it was raining). They do have rooms in more decent sizes, which reasonably cost more of course. But for just one night, I don't mind the size of the room I got for the price I paid, which was available only from their website (in Japanese). There aren't much dining spot in the lane, you may have to proceed to the main road or Nagasaki station, about 5 mins walk if you don't carry heavy stuff, and take note the hotel is located on a gentle slope. This hotel is also quite near Nagasaki Highway Bus station. By the way, IK means Inn Kid, but it doesn't have much kids facilities. LOL!
