Found this at a reasonable price while during peak tourist season. Honestly not a bad offering and not too far off from Shinjuku. Location was quiet and yet close enough to the metro for access to not be much of a problem. Trust me, you don’t really wanna be right in Kabukicho during peak tourist season… it’s gets pretty crazy.

Everything including the facilities are really basic here. Well maintained, but basic. Don’t expect anything fancy, just another business hotel. That said—great budget option.

Location is great for convenient bus and subway stations. 15 minutes from Shinjuku.
Plenty of eating and convenience stores around too.
Room was clean and had good facilities. The staff, though not required for us as much due to self check in, were very helpful when needing to access laundry facilities.
Room was very tight with space for two people above 6ft and two suitcases. Certainly manageable as we were able to get comfortable, but is definitely something to consider if booking here.
Otherwise great stay as it was just a room to sleep and store things in for us. Would recommend

Holiday in Tokyo for the first time so mostly out and about and mainly used the room to washup and sleep.

Rooms were clean but you can see the extract fan's dust lingering on the wall, nothing too much to worry about.

The integrated toilet had a nice bath tub, which after walking 35k steps in a day.... definitely require it to soak my poor little legs! The shampoo and shower gel smells really good too! Used the disposable toothbrush and left it for re-use but housekeeping swapped it out for a fresh one - not complaining!

The metro was a quick walk away and if you wanted to walk to Shinjuku, it's a quick walk too!

Nearby, there is a nice homey canteen which has great options if you run out of ideas of what to eat (unlikely in Tokyo!) or want to have something simple.

Check out time was 1000hrs and had a few hours to spare before going to the airport. Reception kindly held my luggage for me at no charge!

Overall, great experience

Very inflexible in their policies. You get exactly what you pay for and not a bit more. This is better than some other properties who actually don't even live up to their promise, but on the negative side, trivial requests are not even considered here. Pay sleep and leave and don't bother them otherwise. To be fair, the value is still very good and it is not a 5-star hotel, but some service adjustments would make it great.

Ok so opted to stay here to enjoy golden gai night life. Complaint 1: Checked in on a friday and woke up saturday morning as the staff began cleaning at the other units at 8:30am prior to check out (10am) very annoying.
Other complaints:
2) Near a fire hall (noisy)
3) actually pretty far for shinjuku action
4) single elevator for 11 floors and 100 units
5) water leak around AC unit caused pooling water on head board and my phone was soaked

I would advise to stay elsewhere, it not worth the cost regardless of how cheap it is.

Before arriving at this hotel, we stayed at the Asakusa location and asked a staff member if it was possible to store luggage before check in at this location and they said yes it was ok because it was the same company. Upon arrival at the Shinjuku hotel, we asked to store luggage where they proceeded to say that there was no luggage storage before or after check in. Many hotels in Japan do store luggage for before and after check in but when reserving this hotel there was not mention of not having luggage storage. When it was time for check in, the staff member at the front desk was being rude and passive aggressive when we tried to check in. My significant other politely asked if there was a reason for them to not store our luggage and they were very rude and said there was no specific reasoning. It was a very unpleasant way to arrive at this new hotel.

Not what we expected

On the Hotels.com booking site it stated that an airport shuttle was available. This hotel was a little out of our way but booked it for the convenience of the shuttle. When we tried to book the shuttle for our return to the airport we were informed that there was no such service and that we needed to book a taxi ourselves.
The site also stated free in room tea and coffee. This was not the case. No tea or coffee or even a kettle was available.
Shower was covered in mould.
Size of the room was ok and had space for our luggage.
Overall a bit disappointing.

I recently had a very disappointing stay Livemax Shinjuku, and I feel compelled to share my negative experience. From the moment I entered the lobby, I could tell that this hotel was not up to my standards.

The check-in machines were not working correctly, which led to a lengthy and frustrating check-in process.

As I entered my room, I was greeted by a musty smell, and the microwave looked like it had not been cleaned in weeks. The blankets on the bed had visible stains, and the bed itself was not comfortable at all. The desk was dusty, and the walls had noticeable stains. It felt old and lumpy, and I woke up with back pain every morning.

Overall, my experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing. The dirty and dusty atmosphere, faulty check-in machines, smelly microwave, stained blankets, uncomfortable bed, and unfriendly staff all contributed to an unpleasant stay. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Tokyo.

Probably one of the best quality/price in Shinjuku. The hotel is nice with good rooms I don’t understand the bad reviews. My room 1002 was totally fine. Maybe a bit too small bathroom but for a single person works well.
The only pity is that I felt like the hotel should be more clean. Nothing is clean, elevator is dirty, there’s dust everywhere in the room and the AC and Sanitizer air aren’t manteined well I suggest to not use them.
If the cleaning would improve this hotel would be an amazing choice.
Anyway I could handle some dust and I asked the team to clean well the room.
The district is just strategic. Probably one of the best areas, well connected and steps away from Kabukicho and shinjuku avoiding the touristic mess.
