Setre Glover's House Nagasaki

I had a wonderful stay.I accidentally arrived at Glover Garden, so I called the Hotel and they kindly helped me. When I entered, they greeted me very politely: “Were you the one who called earlier? We’ve been waiting for you—you arrived sooner than we expected.”After that, every staff member continued to treat me with warm hospitality. That alone made me feel glad I chose this Hotel.In the lobby there are two counters—one open until 10:30 p.m. and another available all day—where you can enjoy as many drinks and snacks as you like.Since I arrived late, I do regret not getting there earlier so I could have tried more from the limited-time counter. The braised pork and chocolate were delicious; there was plenty of braised pork left, so if I hadn’t eaten too much at my dinner gathering, I could have finished it all… maybe next time.Still, the all-day counter was more than enough to enjoy.The lounge also has a great selection of books, so I stayed up a bit reading while enjoying tea and sweets from the all-day counter. It was such a relaxing time.Breakfast in a steamer basket was comforting and delicious as well—the yuzu miso was especially amazing.They also had loquat and mandarin drinks. I expected them to be sweet, but they tasted properly like tea with just a subtle hint of flavor. Personally (with my sweet tooth), the mandarin juice added to the all-day counter in the morning was particularly tasty.There is no Onsen (as expected), and while this is clear if you check in advance, toothbrushes are not provided for sustainability reasons. However, there’s a convenience store about 50 meters away from the Hotel, so it wasn’t inconvenient at all.I’ll definitely come again! Thank you very much for such a wonderful time.

I had work scheduled in Nagasaki on Sunday and planned to arrive early in the morning, but I ended up staying the night before at short notice. (If Setre hadn’t had availability, I might not have stayed the extra night.)I also enjoyed the summer lounge treat of shaved ice, and for the first time I joined the evening “Saruku” walk as well. Since I ate a late lunch, I came back from Saruku and fully enjoyed the lounge’s late-night snack service too. I slept very well.In some regional areas it can be hard to arrange a taxi in the morning, but that wasn’t a concern in Nagasaki. I was able to take my time with breakfast and head to work with plenty of time.The Room is understandably showing its age, so I’d rate it a 4—but that sense of history is part of this Hotel’s charm, and I had no complaints at all.One note: there are no toothbrushes among the amenities here, and since I forgot mine, I went to a convenience store. It’s actually very close by.A Hotel where you can both have fun and relax. I’d love to stay here again next time I’m in Nagasaki. (The staff also told me about Setre properties in Kansai—I'd like to visit one someday.)
