Great hotel, will be staying here next time I’m in the area. The rooms are great, the staff are very nice and helpful and the hotel has a nice atmosphere and it’s in a convenient location with many things to do close by.
Worked exactly for our 1 night needs for our group of 3! Booked the night before and was able to immediately check in at 10am the next day with a very helpful staff. Didn’t get to try the amenities but hotel was nice and clean and within a 10 min walk to the subway station.
Checking in and checking out was simple and quick; the room was incredible; the in-room projector and other amenities were amazing; the staff were all wonderful and professional; and the location was ideal. Thank you for a perfect stay!
Room was spacious and clean, provided water bottles daily, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel had bar and restaurants and lots of other things available.
This was the nicest and most modern of the hotels we stayed at during our Japan trip. There were nightly socials with free beer and wine. The breakfast was delightful with a variety of options. They stock a wide variety of toiletries and skin care products by the check in desk on the second floor. I really appreciated the complimentary face masks after the dry plane air. I would happily stay at another Lively property.
This was a great hotel, excellent staff and excellent amenities. Rooms are reasonably sized for Japan, good air conditioning (essential in late July), hot high pressure shower and OK sized fridge.
They have tea, coffee and hot/cold water available most hours, a nice selection of standard and fruit teas.
Breakfast is not a big buffet. There are 6 types of Japanese breakfast “sandwiches” from which you can choose 3 each day, plus you get fruit and granola. The usual coffee, tea, juice and others are also there.
