Arrived late evening - weary so went to the hotel restaurant at the upper floor. Drinks were served in a fancy manner though they were bottled from the fridge. The burger was decent and much more value-for-money than the 3-basket seafood trio which were merely frozen deep fried finger food (about the same price) which tasted nothing like what they were supposed to be (very fish-cakey) except the prawns. Hotel shower changes temperature, pressure and amount of water flow even though you don't adjust the setting. Pretty painful to shower when the water turns hot from the cool settings.

Breakfast was included and it was not ample but sufficient. Limited selection each day but hot food in the morning is always welcomed - it tasted decent too. Friendly staff (even those you meet inside the hotel, not just at reception). Benches outside the hotel in the foyer were nice (though they removed them on our last day, not sure why). Close to attractions but due to the way roads are in KL, not exactly straight-forwardly close. Clean room, comfortable bed.

Felt the breakfast options were a little limited especially if your stay is long.

Was different from a conventional hotel and had much more soul into it

- for some taxi drivers/grab drivers the hotel was a bit hard to find - shower door was too small for its frame, so water got out and the floor got wet

- a seperate drinking water tab - Breakfast was good - staff was friendly - room was clean, not too small

Walls are quite thin. Could hear the room next door pushing on switches, opening doors . Room came with a window, but its all blacked out. So, sorta like a wall and i dont think it can be opened. Didnt mind it too much since i like my room dark.

Comfy bed and pillows. Good toiletries. Theres a washer and dryer on site. Didnt use it, but definitely a plus to have one around

There was no Fridge in the room Communication was one big issue. Intercom to contact Reception must be there A whatsapp number was given. That was never answered.

I loved the concept. The hotel was well laid out, great ambience and aesthetics. The breakfast was very good. Facilities on 12th floor were very good.

Room very nice and large. Breakfast included which was great - maybe a bit more variety. Laundry onsite was a bonus.

Have nothing that I don't like, to be honest.

I will definitely choose this hotel for my future trips to Kuala Lumpur for many reasons. Firstly, it is very modern. The bathroom, lights, air conditioning, safe locket, and everything in my room are modern, are good quality. The view from window is beautiful enough, and there are many other amenities inside hotel such as laundry area, café, dining area, balcony, which make me feel that it is unnecessary to go out to find anything, everything is already available at LYF. The location of LYF is also very convenient for booking taxi or going to Madjis Jamek station, and it is very close to Chinatown (about a 10 min walk), giving me more dining options. Lastly, the attitude of staff at LYF truly satisfied me. They always greet me, smile a lot, and provide very thoughtful and thorough support. I will recommend this hotel to my friends if they have the chance to visit Malaysia.

Although there isn't much to complain about, nevertheless, there are a few things which we did not like because that could make your stay a bit uncomfortable. First of all, the room lacks drawers or spaces to put your accessories. Moreover, they have placed a hanger type closet which has kind of occupied major space in the room, so it would be difficult for you to place two large suitcase (one had to be put just beside the passage to main door). You cannot access to YouTube using WiFi on TV, but you need to use your smartphone to watch YouTube via screen sharing. This is kind of disturbing as it would drain your phone battery faster. Bed is placed awkwardly just beside the window, so the person sleeping beside the window would be hitting window curtains while moving legs/hands, and this makes a disturbing sound. Their room cleaning isn't up to the mark as we felt it was done hurriedly, ignoring a few things (e.g. not cleaning trash bins properly under kitchen sink, or slippers remained unchanged, fresh towels were not given etc.). Another nuisance could be not providing any remote control for the air-conditioner, so you may need to wake up sometimes to adjust the temperature at night. Lastly, a fine mirror is placed on the wall opposite to the table and this seems ridiculous as you need to sit in one place to groom yourself but turn on the opposite side to see your reflection.

Lyf Chinatown is a gem compared to most of the accommodations in KL. The property is located near Masjid Jamek metro station (7 minutes' walk). The neighborhood is good and you will find restaurants and convenient stores (e.g. KFC, McDonald, 4 Fingers, Indian restaurants, Watsons etc.) in walking distance. The property looks new and has a contemporary style decoration. They have a spacious lobby and reception area including a cafe which is quite cozy and comfortable. The room One of a kind plus (23 m²) is spacious. Room amenities are very useful such as microwave, kitchen, stove top, utensils etc. Their kitchen sink comes with an extra drinking water tap, so you don't need to worry about water anymore. Bathroom is clean and spacious too with sufficient toiletries. The room doesn't have a phone to call room service, However, they have a Whatsapp number which is very responsive, and all you need to do is send them a message or query. Their customer/room service is very prompt and attentive too. We had problems with water leakage from shower door and the hand push shower. On both the occasions, these problems were solved asap. Cleaning is done in every two days, so I think it would be convenient for many who don't want to be bothered about room cleaning every day. They do have a nice gymnasium and roof restaurant/cafe. They also provide free WiFi which has decent speed. Ironing service is free but for laundry, you need to buy coins from them which appeared a bit costly.

The only downside is that the walls are thin and it took me a while to fall asleep the first night as I could hear my neighbours chatting, snoring and walking around.

I love all the funky design elements like the custom wallpaper and how well designed and equipped my little apartment was. My favourite part was lyf not using plastic water bottles and installing filters in the kitchenettes and the mini pantries on each level instead. The location, around the corner from Chinatown, was so convenient.
