Average hotel, toilet drainage smelt and the first hotel in our trip where you they did no offer luggage service. Avoid Live max chain if you want to use luggage forwarding service.

you really get what you pay for..

Hotel was really old, location was ok near bus stops. Room was dirty, I was really uncomfortable all night. I found old socks under the bed and the bidet in the bathroom had black mold in it. Bathroom had this smell in it also. I had to cancel the remainder of our stay.

Good price but not a good location

We only stayed one night in this hotel for leisure. The hotel is not in a good location for going around major tourism spots. Kyoto's bus direction is confusing and we wasted a lot of time in transport. I would rather stay close to Kyoto station next time.

Clean.

Rooms have no telephone hence you are cut out completely. The staff at reception does not speak English, hence non-Japanese beware. The staff have no idea about reservations to airport hence you have to make your own reservations. The inroom massages advertised so well cost 11,000 yen which is prohibitively expensive and overpriced for anybody.

Nice inexpensive hotel

The hotel was being renovated while I was there, so the condition wasn't great in some parts of the hotel, but I'm sure that is temporary. The staff were very helpful and the location is good. It's a 5 minute walk to Tambaguchi station and a 20 minute walk to Kyoto station where the shinkansen can be boarded. There is free wifi which is great. My only disappointments were the bed needed to be replaced and the wifi was not very good. Very spotty connection that often would hang for up to a minute several times an hour. If you need wifi to do work in the hotel, then you'll be frustrated. I would stay here again though and recommend it to others on a budget, so the good outweighed the bad.

Ok for short business stay

Fine for a short business stay, but can't recommend it too much for family vacation. They didn't have non-smoking rooms for us, so we stayed in the smoking rooms. Bathrooms are small; even by Japanese standards. There's a microwave in each room, but one of the rooms we had had a very noise AC unit. The location of the hotel is ok; there's only 3 parking spaces, so don't expect to park there for free as advertised. The wifi is slow, but manageable. The beds were mediocre at best. So ok, but not above average.

Kyoto for a couple of days on my own

The room was small, but contained everything needed. The hotel was clean and warm, a bit too warm with the higher than seasonal temperatures, but the staff helped me to unjam the window so I could get some cooling. The hotel is located a bit away from the centre of the town, 5/6 stops on the bus, which probably accounts for its reasonable cost. As a single I would have no hesitation in staying there again, but am not sure about the rooms if I was with my wife. I don't know if they have larger rooms, which we would need. That said and for what I wanted - fine.

Good Hotel But A Little Remote

Livemax seem to be a bit of a budget chain, we stayed in 2 different branches during the trip. Both were clean, comfortable and had helpful staff. This branch is a little away from the sights, 15-20 mins walk from the station and 20-25 mins walk to the main attractions. However this was reflected in the discount price we paid.

Great Location - Disregard Naysayers!

I had a great experience at this Comfort Inn and am baffled by all the reviewers complaining about the location. It is a safe fifteen-minute walk from Kyoto Station, a huge transportation hub, and a bus bound for the station stops across the street every ten minutes. There are also several temples, shrines, and museums in walking distance. The rooms are nothing extravagant but they're secure, clean, and comfortable. The staff checked me in speedily upon arrival and were helpful, warm, and spoke good conversational English. They also sell day passes for the bus, which was very convenient, and provide a fresh, tasty, and diverse breakfast buffet that offers both authentic Japanese fare and western staples. If I returned to Kyoto with twice the budget I had on this trip, I would probably still book the Comfort Inn Kyoto Gojo!

Clean, inexpensive hotel with a couple of perks.

If you're like me, and are less concerned about bells and whistles at your hotel, and just looking for a relatively nice, inexpensive place to lay your head at night (because you won't be spending much time there anyway), then this is a good hotel for you. The #9 bus from Kyoto station will take you almost directly there (then about a 5 min. walk down the street). The subway is quite a walk, especially if you have luggage. There are several bus stops in the area that will take you anywhere you need to go. Pick up a bus map at Kyoto station. The hotel sells daily bus passes which is a nice convenience. The hotel seems older and in need of renovations, but was clean. The rooms are small, which is to be expected in Japan. The bed and pillow were hard. They have a washer & dryer that I was able to use. It was a little expensive and the clothes weren't even close to dry after an hour. The hotel offers free wi-fi on all floors and free breakfast, both a bonus in Japan. The breakfast was very good & it was nice not to have that expense given the cost of meals in Japan. The staff was very pleasant & helpful. Overall, this hotel offered everything I was looking for: inexpensive, decent location, free food & wi-fi and a clean room to lay my head at night.

二日目のタオル類の変えが置いてなかった

四人で二泊しました。二日目の朝掃除不要でゴミ箱・使用済みのタオル・バスタオルを部屋前に置いて出掛けました。帰ってみるとゴミ箱のみ(??) 二日目のタオル類は置いてない。フロントの男性に聞いたら伝えとかないと置いてないです、のような事言われたけどチェックインの女性時は「部屋前に置いておいて下さい」と聞いた筈⁇変えて欲しいから出しといたのに二日目のお風呂上がりは何で拭くのでしょうか？全国のホテル利用させて頂いてますが必ず変えのタオルは置いてあります、初めての体験でした。
フロントで一式四人分頂き部屋へ戻りました。
一人一部屋を取ったのですが私の部屋の洗面所はかなりドブ臭かったです、他部屋は臭わなかったとの事でしたが部屋に帰るとドブ臭いのはゲンナリでした。　部屋に電子レンジ・ポット・ドライヤー有り、使用はしませんでしたがコンビニ弁当など食べられる方は温められるので良いかと思います。

お風呂が残念

出張で利用しました。チェックイン時は少し時間がかかりました。
受付の壁面はいろんな紙類や荷物が目に留まり、バックヤードのようで、カウンター横には客室で使われるであろう冷蔵庫が２点段ボールで置かれたままでした。
お風呂に入ろうと湯舟を見ると湯垢がひどくシャワーカーテンの裾は青カビ？がついていてので諦めました。
部屋の広さにストレスはありませんでしたが使い捨てのスリッパは欲しいです。
がお値段が安かったのは助かりました。

ペット可ホテルで安いホテルっていうのは少ないので、仕方ないのかもしれませんが、ケージは置いて欲しかった。
食事をしに行く時、囲いがないと何だか不安で近所のラーメン屋で急いで食べてホテルに戻りました。
ホテルで食べるのでも、電話でピザハットぐらいしかなかったので、食事提供がないホテルだとしても何か他に頼めるものがあればいいのにと思った。
ケージを置かないにしてもリード掛けがあればいいのかもしれません。

ビジネス用途等、単に寝るためと割り切れば良し

難点
・施設が全体に古い。壁紙や水回りなど、目に見える形で劣化が目に付く。
・Wi-Fiが低速度。朝方に速度が改善することから、転送量が足りなていない可能性。
・立地が不便。バスの便は良いが、地下鉄駅が遠い。

ただし、

・寝具等はそれなりに清潔
・空調は新しく、効きが良い。
・テレビ、レンジ、湯沸かし器、空気清浄機等の標準的な設備は完備
・お湯はきちんと出るし湯勢も結構強い。
