What guests think

At HOTEL LiVEMAX Kyoto Nijojo-kita, travelers report a budget-friendly, no-frills stay in a quiet neighborhood near bus stops and Nijo Castle, with generally clean spaces, but some inconvenience from distance to stations and noticeable cigarette odors.

Service impressions are mixed: many found the team kind and helpful, while strict 3 pm check-in, no luggage storage, a seldom-attended desk, and a fussy self-check-in kiosk frustrated others. Rooms are compact yet practical, often featuring a microwave, large TV, or air purifier, though bathrooms and toilets feel tight in the smaller categories. Facilities are basic and more aligned with a business hotel than a resort; on-site options are limited. Expect a simple, good-value base best for travelers prioritizing price and bus access over full-service amenities.

Overall my best stay in Japan, staying in budget friendly option, the only one, I would strongly sugest to stay on. There is a nearby bus stop, that can take you to most places in Kyoto within a 30 mins time. 24/7 front desk staff that was so helpful, you can wash for 300 yens and dry your close in the hotel for 100 yens. Best value. I would stay here again.

There was no Front Desk available for help/inquiries. Overpriced for the room and location. The view from the Room wasn’t appealing at all. No available amenities, such as (Laundry, Spa, Dining Area) Overall 2/10 Experience When a customer pays for above average room expenses, it is unacceptable to find 0 help from Front Desk. Also, location is way too far from any major stations for transportation. Also Room View was very unappealing. No amenities like Laundry, Dining Area, or Spa, for that price, is also extremely disappointing. This experience actually felt like a ghost hotel, with nobody around. The only reason this rating isn’t 1/10, was because housekeeping did a pretty good job, and the bathroom’s had most of what you needed

It’s the only place in Japan that I am giving a low rating. It felt like everything I asked the answer was No. why cannot they keep the luggage for a few hours after checkout? It’s done pretty much everywhere else. The room itself was fine but the service was so so.
