Hotel Livemax Shinjuku Kabukichō — Hotel in Tokyo

Excellent clean and cozy hotel in the very center of Kabukicho. If you are looking for a "party" street life - you should definitely check into this hotel. Taking into attention what I wrote above, the hotel is still very quiet and calm. Similar to a business class hotel. Quite large and spacious by Japanese standards rooms. Everything is clean and cozy. There is a whole floor for smoking guests, but we lived in a non-smoking room. Air conditioning, air purifier, large bathroom, friendly and kind staff. There is even staff that speaks Russian) Of course, everyone speaks Japanese, but English is also at a good level, and Russian speech was just a pleasant surprise. Many hotels in this chain have Russian-speaking staff. Cleaning on request, but you can order it every day. Free umbrellas at the reception. A small minus: "no pool" but blame it for which the search engine is to blame, not the hotel))) is that there was no pool specifically in this hotel, but other hotels "HotleLivemax" in this chain may have pools. 5 minutes by metro to Akihabara, 10-20 min by walk to Shibuya, Shinjuku and Harajuku. Also there are several Shinto Shrine near the hotel. TOTAL: everything is super 10...

Where to begin? Booked a twin room, which is supposed to be two separate beds. While the room had two beds, the room was so small that it didn't allow for the beds to be separated. I On double checking what the room looked like on the website, I had also noted that the price of the room had dropped significantly where it was now $100 less/night than I had paid. I had booked the room for 3 nights and the hotel was not willing to refund me any portion of the costs. On waking up the next morning, i went to take a shower and noted that there was mold on the ceiling and on the vent. There was also no grout between the tub and the wall allowing for lots of water to get under the tub, meaning that there was probably a lot of mold under the tub. As I had booked through Expedia, I had contacted them to try to get out of the booking after the first day, but HOTEL LiVEMAX Shinjuku Kabukicho stated that the booking was non-refundable and doesn’t allow any exceptions, they’re sticking with their policy and won’t...

We are currently staying at this hotel and unfortunately, IT IS THE WORST in Japan. The customer service is very POOR. The staff does not speak English, and when we asked to speak with a manager, we were told he would not return for another three days. The staff member refused to give his name and acted as if he did not understand us.||Our main concern is that the air conditioning in our room is NOT WORKING. The room is unbearably HO, and we were unable to sleep at all. To make matters worse, they informed us that no alternative rooms are available. My mom has asthma, and we specifically booked a non-smoking room. However, we were given a room that reeks of smoke, which could trigger a serious medical emergency for her.||When I requested the manager’s email to escalate this issue, the staff refused to provide it. This situation is unacceptable and potentially dangerous.||We are requesting a full refund immediately so we can leave and book a stay at...
