HOTEL LiVEMAX Umeda Doyama

街中にある所と価格帯です。

ないです。

Located in the Doyama district in the Umeda area of Osaka. Lively in the evening, lots of bars, karaoke, massage parlours, shops and eateries. You don't have to search hard for places to eat as many here are open til 11pm or later. 10-15 mins walk to Osaka Station, less to Higashi-Umeda Station and several others. 7-11 one shop away. Room is a bit small, standard for a budget hotel in a major Japanese city, but not an issue for a single traveller (2x suitcases + 1x backpack). It's clean and functional. Bonus: free, same day luggage storage til 5pm. Check-out is standard 10am, ¥1000 for extension til 12pm. I was 30mins late and have to pay however, was informed in that case I also have right to my room til 12pm.

Small but good enough hanging space, just not enough hangers provided (only 3, the space could accommodate at least 6).

立地がよい

部屋が少し狭い

The hotel is located close to Umeda Station, Hep Five, Don Quijote, Round One, restaurants, etc. The staff was also very kind. They stored my luggage for me before check in/after check out while I was waiting for my flight. The room was clean and your typical business hotel layout. I liked the huge tub.

I personally didn’t like the location. It’s right next to a “red light” district and feels a little unsafe as a solo female traveller. The rooms also don’t use keys, just passcodes that are pretty obviously tied to what room you stay in so that felt extra unsafe.
