Being close to Shimabara Castle was handy, and the convenience of a nearby convenience store was appreciated, but there were hardly any restaurants around—just izakayas.

There was nothing particularly good. The room was cramped for two people with only one bed, the bathroom and toilet area were too small, and I could hear water running from the wall all night and the neighbor’s snoring; the parking lot was far away and inconvenient, and black mold was visible in the tile grout of the shower.

They offered a welcome drink, but the walls seemed thin because I could hear the neighboring room’s noise.

The location was fine, but the mattress was very hard and uncomfortable even for a single night.

Although the hotel claims to be a station hotel, it’s a bit far from Shimabara Station (still within walking distance) and a convenience store is right next door, which is useful; on the fourth floor I could see Shimabara Castle from the window—a decent view. Shimabara Castle is close enough for sightseeing, and the bus stop for the castle is nearby, so I didn’t have to return to the station. Still, the slight distance from the station is a concern; walking is fine, but I wouldn’t need a taxi.
