HOTEL LiVEMAX Kyoto Nijojo-kita

The location is good, although it's usually a 10 min walk from the nearest bus stop. Everything in our room was clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The only thing that we didn't like, is that there was a cigarette like smell in the corridors, and also in our room. It improved after the first day of our stay, but don't know what happened or if if it was actually a smoke-Ok room. Anyway, aside from that, we have zome good nights of sleep. The staff was overall njce with us, but it depends on who is there at the moment. In summary, you will be very comfortable resting hwre, more after the long walks that Kyoto requires. However, keep in mind the walk from the bus stops.

Regarding the price levels in Kyoto during peak season, this is a good deal. Modern hotel at an international standard. The hotel is close to one of the tourist bus lines that takes you to all the sights, the imperial palace and the castle are in walking distance. Just note that there are two Livemax hotels in this area, I went to the wrong one initially. Just stick to the address in the description and don't just search the name on Google maps like I did.
