Hotel LiVEMAX Properties in Sapporo

Good location for someone like to walk, no problem with 2-3km walking, with no whining, without pulling your luggage going to tourist attraction like no brainer. Facility all is up to japanese service standard which you can depend on.

Booked a day tour to Bukdo-do from back home, and this hotel was within the pick-up/drop-off range. The room itself was a good choice, the surrounding area is lovely, and it's very convenient for transport. Plus, the hotel even has hot springs!

There were only two working outlets in the double room: one in the toilet and one behind the microwave, both of which were inconveniently located. Given the hotel's age, the carpet looked grimy, but within acceptable limits. The faucets had separate knobs for hot and cold water. Besides the ceiling light at the entrance, the room had only three table lamps for lighting, making it quite dim. I didn't particularly enjoy the atmosphere. The front desk agent was quite okay. I noticed two ceiling lights wouldn't turn on and thought they were broken, so I wanted to change rooms. The agent was very polite, accompanied me to the room, carefully inspected them, and explained that they were emergency lights. He was very patient throughout the conversation. Because I bought the hotel for the location, it was quite expensive. Reviews say two to three hundred yuan a night is plenty. If the price were higher, I'd probably spend a few hundred more and stay elsewhere.

Since this hotel only opened last month, there weren't many reviews or information available, so I was a little worried, but I was very satisfied! I stayed in a bank twin room for one night. The location is great, about a 10-minute walk from Susukino Station, which is centrally located, and there are several convenience stores and restaurants right across the street. There is a shared kitchen and cafe-like area at the front desk on the second floor. They were able to store my luggage there before and after check-in, which was very convenient. There wasn't much information about amenities, but the shared shower room is equipped with toothbrushes, hairbrushes, cotton swabs, razors, hair dryers, and straighteners. Each room has a clothes rack, free Wi-Fi (speed was fine), and a trash can. Each bed is equipped with a futon set, outlet, light, and tissues. However, I would like to point out a few concerns: showers are only available until midnight, and you have to stop by the front desk to exchange your room key, shampoo, and towel set before taking a shower. If you forget something in the room, you have to go to the front desk several times, and female guests in particular feel a little uncomfortable going to the front desk without makeup, so if you could change the system in that respect, I think our stay would be even better! It's absolutely fine for a night stay without meals. I think many of the people who left a low rating didn't realize this hotel was a ”hostel.” The hospitality is also excellent, and I think this hostel deserves a higher rating.

Although we stayed in a capsule hotel, Livemax Hotel Sapporo this time, I have to say that the CP value is really very high. I highly recommend you to try it. Its price is half of that of a normal hotel, and it is perfect for those who just want a place to sleep and shower peacefully while traveling. The capsule hotel here has a bed on the upper and lower floors. You can choose to stay in the upper or lower bed. There is a locker near the window for small suitcases. You can set the password lock yourself. It is recommended that the number should not be too simple. It is safer to set a slightly more difficult one. As for the toilet, it is just a short walk from the door. Next to it is a small lounge for eating and a laundry room for washing clothes. You need to pay by coins to wash clothes, and the dryer next to it also requires coins to use. This capsule hotel is located at Nakajima Park Station on the subway. It is only a 3-minute walk from the station, which is very convenient. 10 minutes walk to In Susukino, the city that never sleeps, walk for another 10 minutes to the prosperous and bustling Tanukikoji shopping street, which sells food, drinks, drugstores, and cosmetics. This hotel is located at Nakajima Park Station, which is very close to Sapporo Station. If you want to take the JR to Otaru, you can also get up early in the morning and leave from this capsule hotel to take the subway from Nakajima Park Station to Sapporo Station and then transfer to the JR to Otaru. It is very convenient and easy to understand. There is a Lawson convenience store, a 7-11 convenience store, and a barbecue restaurant downstairs near this capsule hotel, but I especially recommend a nearby eel rice restaurant, which is super delicious. As for taking a shower in this capsule hotel, don't worry. You can go to the underground B1 floor. There is a large public bathhouse for men only. Remember to get a large bath towel at the Lonby counter on the 1st floor before going to the bathhouse to take a shower. It is required to wear slippers when going downstairs from the bathhouse, and you must wash your body next to the shower before entering the public bathhouse. The sauna here is really comfortable, and I recommend you to experience it. After taking a shower, there are toothbrushes and toothpaste provided in the changing room so you can brush your teeth before going upstairs to sleep. You can watch TV and relax in the lobby on the first floor. There is a free water dispenser next to it with paper cups for you to get water, but you are not allowed to eat there. This capsule hotel also has its own beverage vending machine, which is very convenient. As for whether there is a smoking area, you may ask, in fact, you can walk to the opposite side of the hotel entrance, there is a smoking area where you can smoke and relax. Overall, although capsule hotels are certainly not as comfortable and private as ordinary hotels, they can at least save you a lot of money. I personally think it is extremely worth the money! Recommended to everyone!
