Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
The cleaning staff are super nice, everytime I left my room they would say hello and offer to change my towels or take my trash even if I had chosen not to get my room cleaned. The front desk staff treat you like a chore plain and simple. Rooms are tiny, really tiny, you get what you pay for. Room I got had water stains on the roof. If you want to just have a place to store your stuff and pass out in after everything closes this is the place. The park next to the hotel was cool, they had a month long food expo. There were nicer hotels in the same area, please look at those instead of this place.

2.5 Stars…In the heart of the action of Kabukicho. Basically the Japanese equivalent of a low cost hotel in Paris. Tiny space, have to climb over partner if sleeping two. Bathroom is some sort of prefab thing that is very efficient but very small only 1 person at a time and god help you if you are a large person. Staff can’t speak english very well but just enough to get by, despite them telling you no English and being 100% a tourist hotel… check in and checkout is very easy done completely at the machine without need for human interaction. Not a bad place to stay if you just need a place to stay for the nights and want your own bedroom but not much further than that. It has air conditioned rooms at least!!!

This place is beyond terrible. I'm a very surprised that CheapTickets has a listing for a place like this. You'll be doing yourself a huge favor by staying as far away from it as humanly possible. The only thing that was worse that their moldy, foul smelling rooms was their extrememly rude staff. The people they hire to work there aren't Japanese. It would be half as bad if their English were poor, but their Japanese is just as bad as their English -- good luck communicating with them. But their language skills aren't their biggest problem their attitude is -- I can only assume that they are terribly underpaid. Any legitimate hotel provides two access cards for a party of two guests, three access cards for a party of three and so on. Not Livemax:they provide one card no matter how large your party is. We were told upon check in that the person at the front desk will open the door to the room should we return separately. However, when I return by myself later I found no one at the front desk. After a long while a gentleman appeared who flatly informed me that he didn't speak English. Effectively I was locked out of the room for which I paid. It was a nightmare.

The hotel is average. Ideal for someone who wants a clean place but doesn't want to spend a lot. It's located near a lively and busy location in Shinjuku - right in the middle of action. Around 15 minutes walking to Shinjuku station.

Average rooms with weird smells. Reception service is next to none. The guy with glasses literally sits on a chair all day playing with a folded piece of paper or watching TV.
