Worst hotel stay of my life. Room is dirty. The aircon remote had brown substance inside. Toilet bidet did not work. One light in the room did not work. Not worth it for the price.

It’s nice that they have rentable umbrellas for free. Check in was easy, key was easy to use. Overall the room was pretty disappointing. The carpet smelled moldy, and when we turned the AC on it was very musty spelling. There were loud guests at 1 am that woke us up. The bed is pretty stiff and the fan in the bathroom doesn’t work well. But I liked the volume of the pillows, and I liked how the fridge actually works, the room came with two glasses in the fridge for drinks and a microwave. Didn’t come with womens amenities so I was disappointed. There was only one amenity and towel set so we had to ask the front for another one even though I checked in with another person. Overall the smell was bothersome and it was too hot so I wouldn’t stay here again.

- I accidentally picked the 'smoking' room, but they changed me to non-smoking for free! - I couldn't really figure out how to get room service (cleaning/etc) - front-desk was hit-miss with English, but translation app worked well enough - despite being on the 4th floor, this street is very quiet at night. Where-as in another city I stayed on the 8th floor, and it was noisier because the street - a nice distance to Ueno park, and maybe 200m from Yanka Ginza shopping street. Get the Chestnut dessert, really good

The staff was great. The location in the heart of Nippori is great. The facility, however, is old. The rooms are very small. The hallways stink of smoke. Some things in the room were broken, etc. If you've done the youth hostel thing before it's OK, but I wouldn't recommend it for a family.

The location is decent because it Ueno and the Environment is lovely but, the hotel itself is terribly disgusting. The moment I walked into my “non smoking” room, it smelt like smoke and must, that also includes the initial walk into the hotel. The room was so filthy(fridge had mold and gunk all over it, carpet was stained and not vacuumed, and the smell was of old cigarettes). I immediately asked for a refund and left for a hotel in Yokohama. If all Hotel “Live Max’s” are like this then ooooof. Because of that I will NEVER stay at a Hotel LiveMaxx.

The hotel appears to be quite run-down and the rooms are of rather poor condition. I hardly spent anytime at the hotel besides resting and washing up. The area is convenient with supermarkets and restaurants/cafes. The subway station is just a few minutes away.

In the middle of everything

I love where its located because its so near Sendagi and Nippori station, a convenient and grocery store is just outside the hotel. There are also lots of options to go to buy food. Very convenient!

A lot of stairs to carry our huge family luggages up and down the lobby and ground level. The staff cannot communicate at all in English so it is very difficult for us to address our queries.

Good value

An older hotel with old but clean furniture and fittings. It is a cheap, good basic hotel in a good area of Tokyo. It is located more in Nezu than Nippori. About a 10-15 minute walk from Nippori Station - I used west side exit.

Would stay again if the price was right

I would stay there again if the price was right. The room was small, even for Japan, and out of date but everything was clean and worked. Nothing was worn. For instance, the toilet was older than the toilet seat, which was one of those full-function, cleaning Japan seats. The seat was bigger than the bowl. The neighborhood was a regular Tokyo neighborhood. There were few tourists or large stores or developments. There were convenience stores next to the hotel and simple restaurants nearby (e.g. a Mister Donut). The subway stop was close (2 blocks) and the Nippori JR Station was a short walk making it convenient to get around the city. I've stayed at nicer places in Japan. There is nothing special about it except the price was right. For the same price, I would stay at a better, nicer hotel. In my 14 years of coming to Japan, this was the smallest, least comfortable room that I have stayed in, but I would still stay there again, if the price was right.

Extremely convenient hotel

The surroundings of the hotel were pretty convenient, plenty of restaurants, supermarkets and convenience stores. Also, the Chiyoda line metro station of Sendagi was extremely close and Nippori Station was within walking distance. These characteristics made a quite good return of investment given the budget I invested.

Quite close to Nippori Station (Keisei Skyliner)

Stayed here one night. Simple, cheaper hotel close to Sendagi Station (~3mins walk) and Nippori Station (~12mins walk). Room had microwave to heat things up if you decide to buy from the convenience store or supermarket a few houses away. It is in a residential neighbourhood, so it is relatively quite. Staff were friendly.

Great budget hotel in Yanaka

Great nice basic business hotel in a secret great neighbourhood right in Central Tokyo that still retains the charm of old post-war Japan. Staff spoke basic English but enough to communicate. Room was small but spotlessly clean and comfortable. Great price. Would (and will) stay here again.

Weekend on business trip

Hotel was very clean, and in a good location if you are somewhat comfortable moving around Japan on foot. This is a good Japanese hotel meaning SMALL but it was clean, comfortable bed and reasonable shower. If you are planning on spending time in your room you probably wants to find something bigger however I prefer to spend my time exploring the area.

I had made the mistake of reserving a smoking room - smell is overpowering and permeates everything. Never again. I had difficulty finding the place and came upon it by chance. The place also looks grungy. There's a conveniecestore nearby and one street away from a main street. The neighborhood is great with quaint shops. Internet was slow/choppy. Microwave is provided. Password needed for main entrance after 10:30p so best to call and arrange if checking in later.
