HOTEL LiVEMAX BUDGET Nippori

lawson next to hotel an 3min walk to sendagi station

Cheap place. Provide microwave and boiler.

It’s a bit old. A little far from Noppori station

The hotel is in a fab location-Old Tokyo, so the buildings are low rise. There is a great food street that international and Japanese tourists gravitate to. There is an amazing park nearby as well as a few shrines . There are 2 train lines near the hotel which was useful. The Yamanote loop line makes it so easy to visit the various places near Central Tokyo. The staff were accommodating, as we had to drop off our luggage prior to check-in. The rooms are small, but hey, its Tokyo so space is at a premium and most hotel rooms are that size! The bed was extremely comfortable, firm, just the way we like it. The shower had great pressure, even though we were on floor 3. The rooms were cleaned wherever you wanted them to be- a sign was just placed outside the door, to inform the cleaners. Other times when we didn't want it done, I just left the rubbish bin outside the door. We had a fridge and microwave in our room which certainly helped to keep the food expenses down. We also had a sink, however our son, who was in a different room didn't have one. We had a room overlooking the street, which let in loads of light, which was great; there wasn't a problem with noise. My son's room didn't let light in, because of its location- I could not have coped with that. Tokyo can be prone to rain, so there are umbrellas provided in the foyer that can be borrowed- that saved us getting soaked on a few occasions.

It is a budget hotel- basic but fit for purpose, it served us well. It was kept clean with fresh linen, towels and bathroom cleaned. However, please do take wipes along (I'm glad I did) as I had to wipe some dust and a little grime away from window frame and the ventilation grills. Obviously there are some rooms that allow smoking so you may get a whiff of that aroma as you walk the corridor ( but it's not bad).

Good location. There are a MyBasket, Maruetsu Petit, Lawson within 1min walking distance.

Reception desk was not as polite as expected from the hospitality industry. There was an awkward confussion when asked for a passport and zairyu card, which I dont have, and they insisted on it (they assumed I was a foreigner). Restroom sink was clogged and water drained reaaaally slow. Shower drain was fine.

Near to station and food stalls.

The room smells cigarette.

price was ok. not cheap, not expensive.

front desk guy wasn’t speak not so clearly Japanese and couldn’t speak English. it is an old building and not many windows, the humidity is high, there is this smell of cleaning product always in the air. the place is really far from the station in a residential area.

the cleanliness should be improved

a bit far from the station

It was a lot more dirtier than my last stay. Carpets dirty and sheets with clearly visible stains.

smelly room
