What guests think

At HOTEL LiVEMAX Shinjuku Kabukicho-Meijidori, guests consistently highlight the convenient Kabukicho/Higashi-Shinjuku setting with easy transport access, while overall experiences are mixed due to variable cleanliness, uneven service, and basic facilities that sometimes create inconvenience.

Cleanliness feedback ranges from spotless rooms to repeated reports of dust, moldy bathrooms, and lingering smoke odors in supposed non-smoking spaces. Service is similarly mixed: some staff are friendly and efficient, yet many reviews note no luggage storage, limited English, and slow or confusing kiosk check-in. Rooms tend to be small with quirky layouts and occasional noise or air-conditioning issues, though several guests found them adequate for short stays. Best for travelers prioritizing location over amenities.

There is no area to store your luggage if you want to drop it off early. It took a while to check in. You must use the kiosk and it took about 10 mins. I asked for a nonsmoking room and they gave us a smoking room. After my complaint they quickly switched my room. The room is very small, the beds were smashed together. Biggest complaint you need to pay if you want to watch tv. Also the toilet is in a closet facing the bed (no privacy) and the sink and shower are apart in another room.

This hotel is very dirty. The ratings on Expedia are far too high for what the property provides. My room clearly hadn't been thoroughly cleaned. The carpet had noticable dirt and hair everywhere. I needed to wear sandals in my room at all times. The shower curtain had mold on it. Very gross. The air conditioning unit in my room was dirty with visible dust buildup. It obviously didn't work.

I wish I could give negative five stars. Itched the entire first night with zero sleep due to dust mites so we complained and were met with unhelpful staff, and we ended up taking the hit and just getting another hotel for the same price that was so much better. If there hadn’t been dust mites, we prob would have gotten over it and stayed due to the location, but how can you charge this much for a place that doesn’t even have clean bedsheets?!?! It’s literally what a hotel is for more than anything else. But it felt so gross as if it was the cheapest Motel 6 in the pits of Arkansas. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

非常に汚い部屋を当てがわれた。換気扇に巨大なホコリの塊を見て呼吸ができなくなった。どこもかしこもホコリが積もっていて、前の客のローションのゴミもあり、そういう部屋を当てがわれてとても嫌だった。いくら安いと言ってもお金は払っているし、タダではないのだから最低限は清潔にすべきだ。フロントは外国人で質問してることに対してトンチンカンで我慢するほかなかった。ラブホテルとして数時間滞在する部屋。

The whole floor and particularly the bedroom had a really strange smell - either from smoking (the room was supposedly non-smoking), or moths or something else. Not very nice- air purifier did little to help. Opening the window worked, but obviously it was very noisy.

Last minute trip and didn’t have much choices first time using this hotel chain. It was about a 10-15 walk from shinjuku station and the JR Yamamote line. It there was one of the subway lines and the shinjuku higashi station right on the same street. Room was small like most Japan hotels, was good for the weekend trip to Tokyo.

Hotel is fine - gives you basic necessities. Rooms are small as expected. Stayed here twice with small family (3 people) one room layout was fine, while the bathroom setup during second stay was workable, though not best. You could either use tap to take a shower or to wash hands in the sink. Which required extra coordination for all bathroom activities.

The rooms are so tiny that I started feeling claustrophobic. We booked the rooms for an average nightly price of CAD 250 through Expedia, whereas after checking in as we were looking for alternate accommodation, we found the rooms in the same hotel for same dates to be much cheaper (CAD 150 per night) - which we felt was grossly unfair to us. We had booked this for two date ranges - we somehow managed for the first period and cancelled the second booking. Communication with the hotel staff was difficult as they could hardly speak English. It is very conveniently located in a nice area but not worth the price when it comes to comfortable stay.

The size of the room was fair, however, it’s filled with strong smell of cigarettes. That should be my fault as I didn’t aware that this is a smoking room. Pay attention that this hotel requests you check out at 10am. The sound of the air conditioner was annoying. But the location is quite convenient as it’s close to a train station and it just takes about 10 minutes for taking taxi to the Shinjuku Expressway Bus Station. The counter staff could be more helpful. They refused to call a taxi for me and asked myself to get a taxi.

While the rooms were clean and surprisingly spacious, our experience was marred by a few significant issues. The hotel didn't allow luggage storage upon our early arrival at 9 am which was a huge inconvenience, and the staff's limited English made communication challenging. Despite a family emergency back home, we couldn't obtain a refund for the last three days of our stay. Overall, while the rooms exceeded expectations, the lack of flexibility and communication barriers were notable drawbacks.
