Fantstic large room, with a great view of the Tori at night. Reviews we read had us worried the hotel would be too old, however we found that while some of the finishing around the room (mainly wood surfaces) are a bit older, the general experience and hotel are quite current and renovated. The location is fantastic and the amenities are great, would definitely stay there again. As a side note, the island is pretty "quiet" at night, so if you are arriving late, definitely plan to stay the next day at least for lunch, since you will probably arrive as everything is closing down and will miss it if you leave early.

The pool was green, everything was dirty from the elevator in the lobby to the room we stayed in. The room definitely didn’t give the same energy the pictures gave . It smelled, there was a spider in my room, and housekeeping was horrible. I will not be recommending this place to anyone.

Only 3 stars! Staff is excellent but the hotel needs a lot of love. The non-smoking room had a strong mold smell worse than the smoking room. Even though they give us a hard time about our room request that we did a month earlier with Expedia ( they say they can’t accommodate room request after the reservation is done even though Expedia assured us the request made was granted.) but at the end they worked with us. They have buffet for breakfast and dinner.

This property overall is very nice. The facilities feel a bit older but they are more upscale. The rooms have a ton of space in them and the onsen was great. There were some quirks, like outside lights not turning off and staff telling us they could not be turned off but then they turned off a bit later. You can rent e-bikes which we did as we got there early before check in.

A highlight of our trip!

This was an amazing hotel. The upstairs onsen was a huge bonus and it was very relaxing. The products provided were of a high standard. We had a deluxe suite which was expensive but worth every penny. We had a private outdoor bath and balcony which meant we could watch the sunset. The hotel provided a lot of freebies and comfy kimono robes too! The staff were so friendly and also allowed us to leave our luggage the next day whilst we explored the island. This was a very tranquil stay and a highlight of our trip.

It was just average

Location of hotel is about 12 minute walk from ferry terminal and short 5 minute walk to tourist areas. For those who have mobility issues may have some challenges going there by foot. Only the front desk staff is able to speak some basic english, otherwise most other staff spoke almost primarily japanese. The hotel room we chose (western twin room with onsen bath in room) looks updated compared with the rest of the hotel. Clean room and comfortable twin beds and a very nice in-room onsen with a beautiful view of the torri gate and the ocean. Word of advice is to NOT get a room on the 6th floor because its the same floor as the buffet restaurant (with its very poor ventilation) which has grilled seafood and the smoke not only fills up the restaurant (and your clothing/body) but the smoke also lingers in the hallway of the 6th floor in the evenings. Thank goodness it did not get into the room as long as you keep your doors closed. Buffet restaurant otherwise is not too bad for a buffet but selection is primarily japanese food if thats an issue for you. "Outside onsen" not truly outside is abit on the small side and one of the two shower handles was leaking badly and needs replacement rather then taped up... regular onsen also had some maintenance issues with its bathing facility. Overall, it was an average stay.

Wonderful place on a beautiful island

LiveMax hotel on Miyajima was a the perfect place for an overnight trip. Perfectly situated close to the ferry station and walkable to all the sights on the island. They rent bicycles if needed. The dinner buffet was insane (mad rush to the sushi and beef for yakitori at the table) but it was a unique experience to say the least. Delicious food provided. We had excellent customer service during the check in and check out process. You are assigned a locker for outdoor shoes upon arrival and have to wear the provided leather slippers while on site. The room was extremely spacious (for Japan standards) and the 2 waters provided were appreciated.
