I have stayed in a couple livemax hotels and this was my favorite. The room, while small, was laid out in a good manner. My room was clean, newly updated, and had no smells.

Could hardly stream 720p video. Overall though I...

Hotel Live Max Kyoto Station is a fantastic hotel, conveniently located a short five-minute walk from the bustling Kyoto Station.

Plus point is the in room washing machine and clothes dryer...

this hotel is close to kyoto JR station which makes it easy to get around all over the Kyoto area. The rooms are small but manageable. The bathrooms are also small and would benefit from modernisation. however they are clean. One excellent feature is a washing machine in every room.
