Hotel Livemax Kyoto Gojo

Uf, I stayed here cause no other affordable place was available. Bad price quality ratio. Very smelly carpet and bathroom, lack of ventilation, wc dropping water and fridge very noisy, very bad lighting. Table packed with stuff we are not going to use as microwave, tv, heater...but no room for personal use. The twin bed room size is big, but still smelly. It seems they haven't updated the hotel for 50 years.

Very ordinary hotel with small but cheap rooms. Downstairs there are coin operated vending machines. Decently priced as well. There's public transport stations within walking distance as well as a famous temple

Room is clean and comfy even if the building is evidently a little old. Train station, Teramachi Dori and Higarikawaracho are all within a 30 mins walking radius. However, the issue was with the service. Check out time is 10am however I enquired the night before I was due to leave if I could check out later. I was told I could check out midday and the receptionist appear to log the information somewhere. The next morning at 10am, hotel staff turned up at my room telling me to check out. I explained that I arranged late check out to which I was told I had to pay an extra 1000jpy. I explained that there had been no mention of this but was simply asked to pay my fee when I checked out. There was no acknowledgement of a mistake let alone an apology. Furthermore, there are no notices about a late check out fee at reception (unlike other hotels I had stayed at in Japan) nor is there anything on the Ctrip listing.

Good for the price

It’s surprising that there’s a private bathroom . For this price I didn’t expect it. The room is small but clean.

No second time as bad smell at room.

quite good
