Hotel LiVEMAX Umeda Central

The staff was very courteous but like most of Japan they didn’t speak much English but we made it work with Google Translate. We booked this hotel since it offered free breakfast but that area was under construction so eating out was an extra cost. At times there was a very strong chemical smell by the elevator like paint thinner. We asked for a discount because of the no breakfast and chemical small but they said no. The rooms were clean. The location was excellent, close to walk to places and to transportation. The Vietnamese restaurant across the street served delicious food! We stayed 12 days there and I would go back.

Room was satisfactory. Be aware as a single room there isn't a lot of room. However, everything was functional. I would suggest a grab rail in the bathroom to assist getting & out of the bath. I did find it rather noisy. The rooms are not that well sound proofed, so it is possible to know what's going on in the adjoing rooms or corridor. Also found the plumbing & AC unit a bit noisy. Not deal breakers,but something the hotel should be aware of. Extra amenities are available at reception. The included breakfast was sufficient. The hotel also has laundry facilities. The area around the property has plenty of restaurants & 'entertainment'. Close to various stations & shopping along E Street. All in all a pleasant stay.

ALL OK

It was a good place to stay! Comfortable bedding and of course, good hotel service. It was pretty convenient walking from hotel to Umeda station and a 20 min walk to places and restaurants as well as of course Umeda sky.
