HOTEL LiVEMAX Kyoto Nijojonishi (with kids)

We had an interesting stay here. The room was actually bigger than we expected, and it came with a microwave, hair dryer, fridge, and a small table. We booked a smoking room because it was the only one available, but the bed and pillows were comfortable. The room and bathroom were clean, so that was a big plus. They have a paid laundry downstairs (300 yen for washing, 100 yen for the dryer) and y...

It is a wonderfully located hotel that is at a walking distance from some of the famous Kyoto landmarks, as well as Nijo Station. The room itself was spacious and had amazing views of the city, although it was somewhat covered in dust (I hope the cleaning staff can revisit those rooms that are unoccupied for a while).

Location: I would, personally, rate this a 5 as I run for a living, so walking was easy. But, it is a bit far if you're travelling by foot. However, it is just on the edge of central. Overall: I'm happy with my experience. I wo...
