About

Hotel Livemax Takadanobaba Ekimae

Hotel Livemax Takadanobaba Ekimae sits in Tokyo's Shinjuku ward, about 1.5 km from Otomeyama Park. The hotel's main draw is its location: a five-minute walk from Takadanobaba Station puts you on a direct line into Shinjuku, with a lively neighborhood of restaurants, bars, and convenience stores right at the door.

Rooms are compact but equipped with the basics: air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and an electric kettle. The hotel offers a range of room types, including Deluxe Rooms with balconies and Double Rooms with bathtubs. Wi-Fi is free throughout, and guests can choose between smoking and non-smoking floors.

Check-in runs from 15:00 to 22:00 and checkout is at 10:00. Pets are not allowed. The hotel has a modest overall rating of 6.3 out of 10, with guests consistently praising the location more than the in-room experience.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Unbeatable location for exploring Tokyo — A five-minute walk to Takadanobaba Station puts you on a direct train line into Shinjuku, with countless restaurants, bars, and convenience stores right outside.
  • Everything you need is at your doorstep — Two 7/11 convenience stores are within a minute's walk, and the surrounding block is packed with dining and nightlife options.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Compact rooms by Western standards — Several guests note that rooms are smaller than they're used to, which could feel tight for travelers with large luggage.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 15:00 and 22:00, so late-night arrivals after 10 PM won't be able to check in.
  • No on-site parking or pet-friendly policy — There's no mention of parking, and pets are not allowed—guests driving or traveling with animals should look elsewhere.
