Shingo and nana, who own and operate the cafe and hostel, are genuine community builders. When you stay at ROUTE, you become a part of their community. If you don't know what that means, they will teach you :)
prepare for a beautiful and caring experience in their property and in Nagasaki, with their guidance.
The hosts, Nana, and his wife were great. Another staff Miva, was super lovely. It's a good place for a solo traveler or couple to stay. It was convenient to walk to the train station, bus station, and many other dining places. I also had a good time talking to other guests. You get a private room though it is tiny. You can lock the door and go. I would stay again!
The hotel is like a guesthouse, with shared showers and toilets, but the rooms are private and secure.
It is located in front of Nagasaki Station, but the cost of staying here is inexpensive and the staff is very helpful and friendly.
If I ever visit Nagasaki again, I would use this hotel again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Nice, clean, but living area on the same sleeping room is difficult to do anything.
There is only one small shower and sink for all of us. Also it’s situated on top of the hill, and there is a place where 26 Christians were executed in front of the hostel. We can see the all view from the window, no escape. I was scared,
정말 친절한 호스트님을 만나서 좋았습니다. 게스트하우스에서 직접 만든 지도도 제공받아서 더 좋았고요. 저는 한 공간을 여럿이서 점유하는 형태의 방을 생각했었는데, 캐빈에는 저 혼자만 있어서 좋았습니다. 칸 막고 나니까, 저만 있더라고요. 원래 2개 층이었는데 윗층 침대를 드러내신 것 같았는데, 덕분에 위쪽에 반쯤 빈 공간이 생겨서, 편하게 캐리어 열어두고 짐칸처럼 썼습니다. 덕분에 여지껏 쓴 게스트하우스 중에서 결과적으로 제일 넓게 쓴 느낌이 났습니다. 바로 앞에 26성인 기념관이 있어서 기독교인이라면 방문하기에 좋은 것 같습니다. 언덕배기에 있어서 짐 들고 올라올 때는 힘들 수 있을 것 같기는 한데, 나가사키역에서 가까운 덕에 다른 곳으로 이동하기가 어렵지는 않을 것 같아요.
겨울에는 추울 수 있다고는 하는데, 제가 한국에서 와서 그런지(당시 영하 9도 정도) 별로 춥게는 안 느껴졌습니다. 다만 숙소가 있는 곳이 언덕입니다. 구글 맵 최단거리로 찍으면 계단 있는 길로 안내하는데, 캐리어 들기 힘드신 분들은 어려울 수도 있을 것 같아요. (그리 길지는 않습니다.) 26성인 기념관 있는 언덕 쪽에 경사진 길이 있으니 그쪽 이용하셔도 좋을 것 같습니다.
