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 chose this Hotel for its convenient location near Oura Cathedral and Glover Garden, with Oranda-zaka also within walking distance. I had visited Nagasaki before, but this time I was able to take my time strolling mainly around the Hotel’s neighborhood. The “Night Walk” hosted by the Hotel is also recommended—it was fascinating to explore places I would never visit on my own.In the Hotel lounge, depending on the time of day, sweets and drinks as well as light snacks are served. Spending time there while reading “Raku,” an informational booklet about Nagasaki, felt like a chance to experience a part of the city’s culture.Above all, the staff are calm and welcoming, making for a very comfortable stay. I would love to return not only for sightseeing, but also to enjoy relaxing time at the Hotel itself.
