We found garbage under the bed, which considering the room is 3x3 seems like a gross oversight. The area didn’t feel unsafe, but it is a nightlife district with clubs and such.

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 issue a refund.

This hotel is a complete dump. Rooms very visibly soiled with mold, blood and a large vomit or liquid stain of some description that melted the carpet. You are required to pay in full before seeing the room and there is no reasonable recourse from the hotel (zero recourse) or Expedia ($100 in points)for checking out early due to deplorable sanitary conditions. This hotel needs to be removed from Expedia and no one should have to stay in such a dirty place.

Overall the area hotel was great. The stuff was friendly to us. They even help me get my lost passport from the airport by traducing and giving the airport staff the correct mailing address of the hotel. The rooms are big enough for two people. If you want anything bigger, spent more and go somewhere else. But for the price, I believe this is okay. The area around the hotel gets so busy and dirty at night. Honestly the dirtiest part from all of Tokyo. It so much youth and tourists. It’s s like Times Square, but 10 cups of espresso coffee on an empty stomach. But again, some people are really into this type of environment. I’m from NYC, so i already have plenty of this in my life on a daily basics lol

I have stayed at many places in the Shinjuku area and this place I give a 4/10. It took a while to check in. You must use the kiosk and it took about 10 mins to load. The room had an old musty smell. The bed was hard and pillows felt like it had wires weaving in and out. I wouldn’t stay again unless only option.

With everywhere else booked out on a Public holiday long weekend and mixed reviews online, I was pleasantly surprised by this property. Certainly clean enough, reasonably priced, everything worked and convenient to everything you need in Shinjuku.
