Hotel Livemax BUDGET Nagoya

We had a big clean room with separate toilet n shower room, air-conditioning, TV, fridge and very useful microwave n washing machine. It's located next to the JR train tracks, and many people complain about the noise, so do bring ear plugs. Is a short walk to the station, and this 'Otobashi station' is only 1 stop from nagoya Station or kanayama station, which is easy access to major attractions and shopping. No minimart here, but just 10 mins walk to Mega Don and some restaurants. Staff was nice and helpful. Recommend for those who stay conservative nights. Overall, we had a good stay of 4 nights.

I am actually still trying to understand how this hotel is able to keep its doors open. I will sum up my experience of this establishment with the following "lack of sleep." It is IMPOSSIBLE to sleep other than between the hours of 01h30 and 05h00. The reason is that the railway lines are just over the road. As long as the trains are running it's not possible to sleep. I even tried my noise canceling headphones and sleeping pills! The room was not very clean when I arrived, hairs in the bath and on the floor. The size of the room is very large in Japanese standards and there is a couch which one can use to watch TV, if you want. It appears to be a self catering sort of place although this was of no interest to me so I don't know if they have all the necessary implements one would need in order to prepare anything more than instant noodles. The staff however I will compliment. They are friendly and helpful. I also forgot something in the room when I checked out. I was able to retrieve it the next day as they kept it for me. I was very relieved about this and thank them once again for their honesty. I will never stay here again and in fact checked out early and stayed somewhere else just down the road where it was both cheaper and quiet.

It is a practical hotel. You get what you basically need. Close to the train station but far from the down town. The price is affordable. It is really clean, you also have a washing machine at the room. Cool :)
