Our train was delayed so we arrived late at 11 PM, and because it was a Friday there were about five parties queued in the lobby. We waited a bit to check in, but each guest was given a careful explanation. The room had a small sink, was compact and organized, and felt clean. We couldn’t hear other rooms, and I wondered if there were no other guests on our floor. The shower room was also clean. Necessary amenities were provided, which was helpful. Breakfast was an ekiben-style rice ball bento and a 500 ml bottled tea. We ate in the first-floor free space, which was also well cleaned.

I often stay in dormitory-style accommodations, and this one rates highly for me. The bunk beds are partitioned individually like ferry cabins, so they felt like small private rooms and were quite comfortable. I had a lower bunk, but the upper bunks are accessed by stairs rather than ladders, so they seemed safer. I could hardly hear any noise from neighbors — maybe there's good soundproofing, or guests were just well-behaved. It was also nice that they provide room wear and towels, and there are more than five showers in the women’s area, so they were almost always available. With an Aeon Mall and convenience store right in front of the hotel, I was able to microwave something in the hotel’s eat-in area and eat at my leisure. The front desk staff were very kind, so I felt at ease during my stay.

This was my first time staying here. Kyoto Station is the nearest station, and I arrived without any trouble. The property is bright and clean overall, and many of the guests were Japanese and around my age, so I felt comfortable. Considering the price, I was very satisfied — I was pleasantly surprised that they provide clean beds and bedding, a shower, shampoo and conditioner, a hairdryer, pajamas, and even disposable slippers. There are also two electrical outlets, which is convenient for charging a phone or laptop. I would definitely recommend this hostel to solo travelers who want to keep accommodation costs down.

On the day of my business trip to Kyoto, my family’s hospital discharge date was set for the next day, so I searched on Agoda for a place to stay and found this hotel at a great price. It was my first time at Livemax, so I wondered what a place without fully private rooms would be like, but it was no problem at all. The room had a large luggage locker with a key, there were five shower booths so I never had to wait, and everything was clean. Amenities are available by taking them from in front of the front desk, and towels are provided in the sleeping booths. I was surprised that such a low-priced place even included room wear. The sleeping booth is small but comfortable. The roll-down curtain provides nearly full privacy so I was able to sleep properly. The accommodation floors are separated by gender and accessed with a card key, which felt secure. Eating and drinking in the sleeping booths is prohibited since the booths are essentially beds, which is understandable, but there is a first-floor area where you can bring food and drinks. It was a one-night stay I would use again.

“Exceptional”
Better than expected. The hostel is close to Kyoto Station, so it's very convenient to reach the city's popular sights from there. There are many convenience stores and restaurants nearby, making daily life easy. The room was very clean, and the bed space was larger than I expected — quite spacious for a single berth. The air in the room was fresh with no odors, and the other guests were well behaved and kept noise to a minimum. The shared toilets and showers were also clean, and there was no need to wait in line.
