The hostel is located near a tram stop which made it easy to access the rest of Nagasaki. Our room was located on the 3rd floor and the staff very kindly helped us carry our luggage up the stairs. Check in was easy and the place is clean. There are quite a few staff working at the hostel, and we happened to bump into most of them when they were having their get-together. They are all very friendly and made us a yummy sashimi dish. Although I was sick and couldn't communicate much, my companion had a really great time talking to them. She had so much fun it became the highlight of our entire trip. Thank you for your hospitality!

Property was not as represented in the online photos. Lounge area small and run down. Not very comfortable for a long sit. The room we had didn’t have anywhere to hang wet stuff. No hooks or hangers. Very noisy. Could hear everything in the next room and the hallway where the washing took place. Walls could use a good washing and a coat of paint. The venting ducts all need cleaning in the common areas. Made my allergies bad.

Great location, staff friendly, clean. Only negative was noise; booked a private room and was lucky that the other guests were quiet because you could hear everything like there were no walls. Same with the traffic noises from the busy street outside. Luckily there was a fan in the room for some reason, and turning it on helped drown out the street noise.

Terrible beds
Casa Blanca is a cute small hostel right on one of the main streets. Easy to get to by tram or a 15 minute walk from the train station. Situated close to Chinatown, shopping mall and a short walk to the port. However, I was booked in for 3 nights and left after 2. The mattress on the bunk bed was two futon type mattresses. I’m use to this in Japan but they are normally on the floor, not placed inside a bunk bed where it is clearly deep and should hold a normal mattress. I also had the bed that creaked terribly (if it had a firm normal mattress this probably wouldn’t have happened). Every tiny move I made it creaked loudly. The lady on the top bunk didn’t seem to appreciate this and started shouting at me. I know right?! I’ve never been made to feel so uncomfortable in a hostel. I packed my things first thing and found alternative accommodation.

Great place for the price!
Casa Blanca Guesthouse was conveniently located! You can easily walk to various sightseeing spots. And, the airport shuttle bus stop is just a 5 minutes walk away. Guests receive a discount coupon, which helps save a bit of money. Kind of wished the guesthouse offered bath wash, too. But overall, it was a great stay! Would definitely recommend!

Nice hostel
Very clean, very inexpensive and nicer than it had to be in almost all ways. My only complaints are that the mattress was very thin and uncomfortable for my preferences since I like a softer bed and it would have been nice if there were curtains in the shared dorms to allow a little more privacy. Overall a good experience though, especially for the price it was a great value in a great area. The street was a little noisy but not so bad that earplugs couldn't drown out its entire sound.

I really enjoy the atmosphere and interior design of Casa Blanca Guesthouse. I was just disappointed because I hear all words from the whole floor in my private room. It was a bit annoying to hear the conversation clearly from the next room around 1am. Beyond that it is an awesome guesthouse.

Nous avons apprécié les petits box en guise de chambre, les lits étaient très confortables. Nous avons juste été surpris de voir que les murs des box ne montent pas jusqu'au plafond, nous pensions que c'était des petites chambres. Il faut juste prévoir un masque pour les yeux au cas où car beaucoup de personnes de notre étage dormaient avec la lumière allumée. Mais à part cela, notre séjour a été super dans cette Guesthouse. Le personnel était très sympathique et disponible.

地下鉄中洲川端から徒歩10分程度、大通りから離れた静かな場所です。 ラウンジとバーは使用しませんでしたが、洒落た雰囲気です。 ベッドルームはコンパクトながらも、機能は十分、寝具も綺麗でクッシャンも好みでした。 ロッカーに鍵はありませんが、キャリーバッグもスマートに納まり、十分と言えます。 フロアーにはトイレ一ヶ所、シャワーブース2つですが、何の機器も充実しています。ボディーシャンプー・ヘアシャンプー・コンディショナーも揃っています。 全体的に良いデザインで纏められて不満はないのですが、何れをとっても狭いのが気になります。 この価格ですので、贅沢は言えません。 おそらく又お世話になります。

The bedroom no.3-5 seem away from the air conditioner, the ventilation in the rooms is not good enough. Maybe place small fans at the rooms can resolve the ventilation.

直前の予約だったのでやむを得なかったかもしれないのですが、鍵なしの部屋なので男性と女性が同じフロアは怖かったです。セキュリティが少し心配になりました。 でもスタッフの対応はちょうど良く、立地も良かったので、また女性専用フロアの予約が取れたら利用したいです。

Sehr gute Unterkunft mitten in der Stadt. Leider etwas lautes und helles Zimmer wegen der Straße vor dem Haus, aber trotzdem voll zu empfehlen. Das Zimmer war sehr klein. Im Haus ist alles was man benötigt. Moderne Küche, saubere Bäder mit allen Utensilien. Klima im Zimmer. Fünf Minuten zum Busbahnhof, 20 zum Bahnhof. Zum Atombomben Museum ist es eine halbe Stunde mit der wunderschönen Straßenbahn. Das Museum ist übrigens sehr sehenswert und natürlich erdrückend. Die Stadt an sich ist sehr lohnend.
