Anonymer BenutzerI rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I have had in Japan.
I booked a Run of House (ROH) room for my family. The booking description stated that room sizes range from 28 to 38 square meters. Based on that description, I reasonably expected that room assignments would be allocated fairly within that range.
Upon check-in, I initially asked whether it would be possible to have a room facing Huis Ten Bosch. I fully understood when I was told that a park-facing room would require an additional charge, as such rooms are often sold at a premium.
However, after entering the room, I realized that I had been assigned what appeared to be the smallest and least desirable room available.
At that point, I was no longer asking for a park view. I simply asked whether it would be possible to have a slightly larger room, especially since the ROH description clearly stated that room sizes range from 28 to 38 square meters.
What made the experience particularly frustrating was that I had already read reviews from other guests who booked the same ROH category and received significantly better rooms. One guest mentioned being assigned a park-view room after making a request, while another guest appeared to have received one of the hotel’s best room categories despite booking ROH.
When I politely asked why other guests with the same booking category seemed to receive much better room assignments while I was given the smallest room available, the front desk was unable to provide a clear explanation.
Instead, I was repeatedly told that any room change would require an upgrade fee. At one point, I was even told to contact the booking platform and ask the platform to pay for the room change.
This response made very little sense. I was not asking for a free upgrade. I was simply asking for transparency and consistency regarding how ROH rooms are allocated.
After a lengthy discussion, the hotel eventually moved us to a slightly larger room. However, the replacement room was located on the lowest floor, at the far end of the corridor, with a partially obstructed theme park view. While I appreciated the effort, it reinforced the impression that alternative rooms were available, yet no clear explanation was ever provided regarding the original room assignment.
My disappointment is not that I did not receive the best room. I fully understand that ROH bookings do not guarantee upgrades. My concern is that the hotel advertises a room size range of 28–38 square meters, creating the expectation that room assignments may reasonably vary within that range.
If ROH guests are always assigned the smallest and least desirable room available, even when larger rooms remain vacant, then the hotel should simply advertise the room as 28 square meters. That would allow guests to make an informed decision before booking.
For families travelling with children, room size matters. Had the listing clearly indicated that ROH guests would receive a 28-square-meter room, I would likely have selected a different room category from the beginning.
The hotel itself is in a convenient location and the facilities are generally good. However, the handling of this situation left a very negative impression. Based on this experience, I would strongly recommend booking a specific room category rather than ROH, so that expectations are clear from the outset.

Anonymer BenutzerConsidering the park and hotel have been open for 30 years, I found the facilities and cleanliness to be very well-maintained. The park layout is excellent, offering a peaceful atmosphere with spacious, beautiful European-style streets that feel authentic rather than artificial. There are small activities throughout the day, which adds to the experience.
Dining and Park Amenities
While restaurant options within the park are somewhat limited, the prices are quite reasonable. Since we visited in June, the park wasn’t too crowded, so we didn't have to wait in lines for any attractions. The park is well-equipped with convenient amenities, including self-service laundry, a Lawson convenience store, a drugstore, car rental services, and even a pet hotel.
Pro-Tip: Download the App
I highly recommend downloading the official Huis Ten Bosch app. It provides helpful walking navigation around the park and a convenient schedule to keep track of various activities and events.
Hotel Amsterdam Experience
We stayed at Hotel Amsterdam, and I highly recommend staying at one of the park’s official hotels. The rooms are spacious, and a unique touch is the built-in water purifier, so there is no need to buy bottled water or head to the hotel lobby to refill. Additionally, you do not need to pay for a second-day park ticket, as the hotel provides them at check-in. Note that parking is 2,500 JPY per day, but staying at the park hotel allows you to offset this cost.
Tips for Families and Extras
Height Requirements: Be aware that many attractions require children to be at least 90cm or 100cm tall. This isn't clearly stated on the official website, though there is an indoor facility suitable for infants.
Transportation: There is a shuttle bus, but it runs every 20–30 minutes.
Onsen: There is a public bath (800 JPY/person) or a private family bath (2,700 JPY/hour, requires reservation).
Activities: Some additional facilities, like the tricycle rentals, require an extra fee (3,000 JPY/hour).
Overall, this was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend it for those looking for a relaxing and well-planned getaway!

GastnutzerWir sind mit der japanischen Kultur nicht vertraut. Wir versuchten morgens einzuchecken, erhielten aber lediglich die Information, dass der Check-in erst um 15:00 Uhr beginnt. Es gab keinerlei weitere Informationen zum Parkeingang oder Ähnlichem. Wir mussten uns selbst informieren. Wir liefen zum Haupteingang und wieder zurück. Später erfuhren wir, dass wir uns den Weg hätten sparen können, wenn wir einen anderen Eingang benutzt hätten. Es wäre schön gewesen, wenn das Personal uns freundlicher empfangen und sich nicht nur auf die Check-in-Zeit konzentriert hätte.

This hostel has some genuinely strong points, but also several issues that stop it from being a great stay. It’s very much a mix of highs and lows.
The positives:
The common room is comfortable, with very good sofas and fast Wi-Fi (though it occasionally drops out — a router upgrade would easily fix this). There’s a shared kitchen with a labelled fridge, and the location is excellent for exploring Nagasaki.
Dorm rooms are good value for the price. Bed spaces are a decent size, with excellent blackout curtains that block light even if others leave the lights on. You also get a small lockbox for valuables.
The negatives:
Check-in is fully self-service with no reception. You’re given a folder with rules and keys, but if you need help, there’s no clear support — which can be stressful, especially for travellers without phone SIMs.
There is no lift. I stayed on the fourth floor, and the narrow stairs make carrying luggage difficult.
Facilities per floor are also limited: only one toilet and one shower shared between multiple dorms, plus the washer and dryer on the same floor, which feels insufficient and awkward.
Extras are all paid separately (towels, toothbrushes, earplugs, etc.). A towel really should be included at this price. Guests are also expected to strip their own bedsheets at checkout, which feels excessive.
The common room layout could be improved. A large hammock takes up space and reduces seating — replacing it with chairs or bar seating would make the area far more usable. There were also staff or long-term workers frequently occupying the common room, which made the space feel less guest-focused.
Air conditioning is locked and cannot be adjusted, so if you’re too hot or cold, you have no control.
Would I stay again?
As a backpacker on a very tight budget, yes — tahe location and price make it workable. But if you can afford it, I’d recommend paying more for a private room nearby. There are many hotels in the area offering much better comfort and support.

SoraChIch reservierte ein Eckeszimmer, um die Stadtblicke Nagasaki zu genießen, und es war absolut erstaunlich ehrlich die Highlight meines Aufenthalts. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, und es gab Teammitglieder, die speziell internationale Gäste unterstützt und sprach hervorragend Englisch. Wenn Sie einen Ort suchen, um sich zu entspannen, genießen Sie einen Panoramablick auf Nagasaki und in einem Arsch zu schmecken, ist das sicherlich das Hotel, um zu bleiben.

Das Hotel liegt hervorragend, nur 5 Gehminuten von der Straßenbahnhaltestelle, dem Flughafenbusbahnhof und Chinatown entfernt. Matsumoto Kiyoshi befindet sich im Erdgeschoss, und der nächste Don Quijote ist nur 10 Gehminuten entfernt. Das Hotel bietet eine große Badewanne auf dem Dach, sodass Sie nicht im Zimmer duschen müssen. Allerdings ist die Umkleidekabine recht klein, und die Schließfächer sind an Wochenenden, wenn die Badewanne genutzt wird, sehr gefragt. Das Zimmer ist recht geräumig; zwei große Koffer passen problemlos hinein. Ich habe zwei Nächte hintereinander dort verbracht; am zweiten Tag wurden die Handtücher gewechselt und der Müll entfernt, aber das Bett nicht gemacht.

NappasDie Lage ist sehr gut, nur 5 Gehminuten von Dejima entfernt. An der Rezeption gibt es Schließfächer, die die Gäste kostenlos nutzen können, was sehr praktisch ist. Der Rest entspricht in etwa meinen Erwartungen für den Preis oder ist vielleicht sogar noch etwas besser, daher vergebe ich eine durchschnittliche Bewertung.

The hotel is centrally located and is near a long shopping stretch. In the area there are a lot of good food places. The public bath is great and convenient to use, and the room is spacious enough for me to relax. Travelling from the train station to the hotel with luggage is just tedious.

A very comfortable hotel located just about 400 metres from Nagasaki Station, with a tram stop, bus stop, and a convenience store right at the doorstep. Getting around is incredibly easy, as it sits right in the heart of everything. Glover Garden, the Atomic Bomb Museum, Peace Park, and Chinatown are all just a few tram stops away. You can even walk to Mt. Inasayama in around 10 minutes, which makes visiting for the famous night view especially convenient.
The room was clean and cozy. The public bath was spacious, with multiple tubs to choose from. There are also laundry and dryer machines available (three of each), though you may need to time your usage a bit.
The breakfast was excellent, especially for those who enjoy Japanese-style options. It included a rotating selection of Nagasaki specialties such as champon, Goto udon, and sara udon. There were also breads, salads, and made-to-order egg dishes. However, it might feel a bit pricey if you do not prefer Japanese-style breakfasts, as they make up around 60% of the selection.
