HOTEL LiVEMAX Tachikawa Ekimae

This hotel is pretty run down compared to during Covid. The fridge didn’t work, the desk is scuffed up, scratches on the doors, the holder for the aircon remote was falling off. Be mindful it’s in the red light district area of Tachikawa (south side) so you’ll see a lot of sketchy people outside at night. It’s more like a love hotel than a business hotel.

Price is reasonable as we just need a quick night stay prior an early bus ride the next day to Kutsasu Onsen. It’s much cheaper than taking the bus from Shinjuku. Basic business hotel. So room is relative small Easy and quick check in and out Short walk from JR station.

A business hotel near the station, but not super near. The staff was very kind and attentive to our needs. The area is a little seedy, though. Bed was surprisingly soft. Room was clean but some areas showed signs of age and disrepair that could have been attended to by the hotel staff

Good location and value for money .  The room is small but everything you need is included.

The bed is very small, so you should be a couple or very good friends. The experience was fine, but it is true that the trains make noise through the night — they end at midnight and start at 5am. You should bring earplugs and put the humidifier on for white noise, and then its fine! The area is not too bad. Yes, there are girls clubs around, but it didn't feel unsafe or skechy.

Arrived at 1am and still had staff to help me with the check in process. The room was more than enough for solo travellers and the hotel is at a convenient spot for food even late at night. Would definitely book again.
