The bed was great!! Comfortable and spacious with great sized duvet, good curtains and a little lockable locker as well. The steps up to my bunk were super secure and was a nice change from a ladder. The shower was clean, comfortable and had good pressure. There was a fridge, seating area and clothes bar (for any hanging items) in our room. The laundry was amazing. All the hotels/hostels we’ve stayed in so far have had domestic drying machines that haven’t dried our clothes properly. This place had Laundromat dryers that worked a treat!! We were also in the room when we seen the cleaners cleaning out the bunks of people that had checked out. They were so friendly and super thorough with the clean which was great to see. It was self check in which was very simple. It’s also really close to the main train station and lots of bus routes. Would honestly stay here again in a heartbeat.

The steps. There was no lift up to our floor which we did know about in advance but lugging up 2 heavy suitcases was definitely difficult. The pillows were super soft so I honestly had to double it over to feel like my head wasn’t on the mattress but I do tend to like a firmer pillow so that could just be personal preference. Our room (401) could have done with a fresh lick of paint. The room you pass to get to the laundry (402) and the laundry area and shower had a bit more modern decour.

My friend and I booked the female only dormitory, it was super clean, comfortable, with lockers inside your booth and a curtain for privacy. There’s also a shower and toilet (separate) inside the female only rooms and two sinks so you don’t need to share lavatories with men. The self check in/check out procedures was super straightforward and translated into your chosen language. Location wise, super close to the port, a few restaurants and cafes around, and super well connected by tram or walk to everything you want to see in Nagasaki. Facilities were great, there’s a shared kitchen and you can use the laundry machines. It’s great value for money and super comfortable.

Some people really need to understand that post 11pm is quiet time but of course that can’t be the hotel’s fault. I’d just suggest they put a sign next to the light or the hair dryer to not turn it on after 10 or 11pm because that would maybe discourage some people.

I was checking in quite late, which was no problem. Everything was perfectly arranged for self check-in. The beds are well designed and clean, with sink and door to bathroom and shower in the same room. The common room had a hammock which I really liked. The kitchen seemed big and well equipped. The location was just perfect for exploring the city in one day.

The self check-in led to a feeling of being less “hosted” which was not a real problem though. I had a very kind man (manager?) asking me about how I am and how my stay was on the second day. The only two minor things are that you’ll have to pass a building site on the way up (soon gone probably) and that the door to the shower was right opposite my pillow, so make sure to pack good earplugs.

I had a great time at Casa Noda. The staff is friendly and gave me great restaurant recommendations. It's a social hostel, where it's easy to meet people. It was always clean (dorm and common room). The location is perfect, on a main street. Walked to all the places I wanted to visit. Port is near, so perfect for an excursion to Gunkanjima. Liked it so much, I spent an extra night there! Plus, there's a lot to do in and around Nagasaki :)

The location is great! Walking distance to the main train station, the wharf, and china town (I was visiting for the Red Lantern Festival). The price was very reasonable and the beds were fairly comfortable compared to my last hostel stay.

As others have mentioned, you aren't likely to meet any staff upon arrival which is fine if you have a device you can use to Check-In. I appreciated the locker, and the ability to leave luggage in the common space before and after checkout, but it would be nice to have more lockable space for luggage. That may be a little nit-picky though.

One of the best hostel I have ever been in my life. Everything is super clean, the check-in is super early, the room is quiet. The female only room has a fridge, a shower and a toilet. The living room as a hamac, a very furnished kitchen and comfortable couch and pillows. Outlets are everywhere and there are also lockers with a lock furnished. The check-in is super easy and the hostel is located 10min away on foot from the train and bus station. They are also very attentive as they find me a solution right away when I needed it because my transportation was cancelled. Would stay there again 100%

The nicest type of solid, private bunk. Washer and dryer available. Useful kitchen. Comfy lounge. Close to everything.

It's upstairs and so I had to lock my bike on the street, but as this is Japan, no problem. Building work going on downstairs to extend the hostel, with some noise and smells in the day. I guess it will finish soon enough.

Comfortable. Central. Very close to bus/train stations. Immediate email responses from CN. Easy check in/out. Sockets and light inside bed capsule. Bright and light sitting area. Kitchenette area, albeit limited to two electric rings, fridge and microwave. Fridge and kettle in dorm. Good, hot shower.

Oh dear! The stairs!

Very central location in a walking distance from the train station, port and a lot of izakayas. The place was clean and quite comfortable. Teabags and an electric kettle were a nice bonus. The rooftop was great to hang out. The "contactless" check in and out process was smooth and effective (given that you've got a smartphone etc, because you need to send an email to the staff with your passport photos).

The room is great for two people, but with three persons (meaning one sleeps on a futon on the floor) it's really cramped. Also note there is no lift in the building and some of the rooms are on the fourth (Japanese fifth) floor - not a problem for us, but someone might find this to be an obstacle. Although there is a washing machine, there's no spin dryer.

Stayed in the 'Superior Room'. Really impressed by how spacious it was, with ample cupboard storage, a separate toilet/shower room, and two large single beds. Also an amazing view out of the window of the water/mountain. Check-in & check-out process was very easy despite them not having a standard 'reception' (they leave your key in a bag to collect and you post it in a box when departing). We didn't actually encounter any staff in-person but the hostel was very responsive with messaging over Booking.com. Great location too - about a 10/15 min walk to the train station. Overall a great stay.
