Richmond Hotel Nagasaki Shianbashi
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, if you want a lively, central base with plenty of places to eat and a modest nightly rate. Skip it if you need to be close to the main train station or want hotel extras beyond a buffet breakfast and a 24-hour desk.

This is our Budget choice for Nagasaki. It works best for couples and solo travellers who plan to spend their evenings out. Guests point to the restaurants, shops and covered arcades around the Shianbashi area as the main draw.
It is a 3-star hotel, so expect a practical stay rather than a resort. The listed facilities are short: air conditioning, a 24-hour front desk and facilities for disabled guests.
Think twice if you arrive and leave by train with heavy bags. Guests say the main train station is a long walk away. If a station-side address matters more than saving money, our Best Value pick is a better fit.
Location and getting around
The address is Motoshikkuimachi 6-38, in the Shianbashi area. The location score is 7.9 out of 10, lower than the guest score overall, and that gap matches what reviewers describe.
Oura Church is about 1.3 km away, roughly 16 minutes on foot. The Immaculate Conception Cathedral (4 km, about 50 minutes) and Nagasaki Peace Park (4.1 km, about 51 minutes) are far. For those two, plan on public transport or a taxi.
Guests describe the streetcar as convenient from here. Walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified, so check a map route before you commit to walking anywhere.
What guests say
The score is 8.4 out of 10 from 437 reviews. That places it 7th of the 9 eligible hotels we compared on review score, so it is not the top-rated option in town.
Two things come up most in praise. First, the setting: plenty of restaurants, shops and arcades nearby. Second, the breakfast, described as freshly prepared with a wide variety and a substantial salad bar. The listing gives the breakfast style as buffet.
The main complaint is about the train station. Getting around by streetcar is easy, but reaching the main station on foot takes a long time.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults, one room) put this hotel at about €89.93 a night. The median across the hotels we compared was €149.63, so this is about 40% below.
Our Best Value pick, JR Kyushu Hotel Nagasaki, came in at about €102.22 a night with a score of 8.6. Our Luxury pick, Nagasaki Marriott Hotel, was about €274.28 a night with a score of 9.4 and 5 stars.
The gap to JR Kyushu is small, around €12 a night. Those euros buy you a station-side location there; here you get the Shianbashi dining streets instead. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your own dates.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 eligible hotels in Nagasaki. This one had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was set aside, while still holding a solid 8.4 score from a fair number of reviews.
It is the cheapest of our three picks, not the best rated. That trade is the point of a Budget pick.
Before you book
Room size, noise levels, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Breakfast is listed as a buffet, but whether it is included in your rate is not confirmed, so read the rate details.
Check the walking route to the main station if you travel by train, and check how far the nearest streetcar stop is from the door. Confirm that the facilities for disabled guests cover what you need before booking.
