Hotel Livemax Premium Hiroshima — Hotel in Hiroshima

【駅近だけど惜しい滞在】

We came to Hotel Livemax Premium Hiroshima seeking a no-frills stay during the busy Obon period — just a bed, a bath, and a short walk from Hiroshima Station. Check-in was smooth, the compact room tidy with all the basics, and the promise of a communal bath sealed the deal.

But the “premium” label proved optimistic. The onsen’s changing area was so cramped that simply finding a locker felt like winning a lottery. The two baths were pleasant enough, but with only a few showers, guests waited in line just to wash before soaking. After a relaxing dip, the fitting room was jammed again, stress replacing serenity.

Breakfast was the final letdown — a small, dry bento box that felt more like an afterthought than a morning welcome. Had I known, I would have skipped the meal entirely.

For a chain that calls this “premium,” the experience left me unconvinced — and unlikely to return.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5)

About 10 mins walk from Hiroshima station. I stayed in the twin room and it’s possible to open 2 big luggages with some creativity. The pictures of the big onsen are from the male onsen. The female onsen is much smaller and with only 2 wash stations… and the wash stations have no partitions. Just gotta time your baths well. The hotel does not offer Yamato so you gotta take a trek to a convenience store or the actual Yamato store which is about 10 mins away on foot. One of the staff’s attitude was pretty harsh and put her hand out to stop us when we tried to take some amenities form the amenities bar upon check in. Perhaps a simple polite explanation (or maybe just let your guests have extra amenities?) would suffice. There are pretty nice izakayas a short walk away and a laundromat just across the street. Okay for a short stay if you value a...

I'd say the nicest hotel I've stayed in during my two weeks in Japan. The hotel is a 10min walk from the station. Rooms are comfortable and have enough room for luggage.On my last night I wanted to take advantage of the onsen. Two of the younger members of staff were hesitant to allow me access. They brought to my attention the on-site rules which highlight that it would be unsuitable for people with tattoos (I have several large visible ones) to use the onsen. I do not remember this being highlighted on the trip.com website, otherwise I would not have booked. However another female member of staff (presumably the manager) intervened and stated because I was from overseas it should not be a problem. I really did enjoy my time using the spring baths. ¥150 well spent. Thanks...
