well located

The hotel is well located, a short or moderate walk from a number of tourist attractions. There is a convenience store and various restaurants nearby. I appreciated the laundry and the gym and other guests seemed to be enjoying the common area. The staff was always friendly and helpful.

Excellent hotel

Great hotel. Big room which was immaculate. Great friendly service, comfortable bed, great shower (important because can have weak showers). The location was excellent too, walking distance from Eco park & China town. Food options available minutes away & close to train station. Laundry facilities were excellent. This was our favourite stay in 2 months of travel.

This is a boutique type hotel, but has a laundry bay. The food at the hotel is good. The upstairs restaurant is good. They need to add more western dishes. The staff at this hotel is excellent management is very good. I will come back and stay here again and again.

Very clean, spot less and new hotel. All perfect including warm and friendly hoteliers. Quiet area, bus stop to Bukit and KLCC just in front of hotel and drop off, Tourist spot and market are walkable in 5 to 10min. Will stay again in this hotel Downside: no convenience store nearby but walkable in 5min, with vending machine and hotel restaurant, no ref in the room but doesnt affect my stay

8/10 Very good

My real rating is 3.5. Here's why. Rooms - rooms are spacious, great cold a/c, clean and beds were very comfy - I slept well. Facilities are good. Hang out spot, laundry, etc. Service - hit or miss. There were a few male employees that were really nice, but the female staff were cold and not very helpful. The staff that checked me out was nice and let me store my luggage for a few hours in the lockers after check out. Breakfast was pretty bad. A breakfast box they heat up in the microwave, which tasted terrible, and a apple or orange juice. Location is ok in my opinion, very busy streets near the train, but some blocks (especially near McDonalds) didn't really feel safe to me (solo female traveler). One thing that irritated me. I stayed here for 2 nights. Feb 5th and Feb 6th, check out Feb 7th. On the evening of Feb 6 (also my bday), after a long day, and finally falling asleep, I was woken up at 11pm from staff. They banged and rang door bell continuously - they wanted to give me a baggy celebrating my bday. Nice gesture but you couldn't have delivered in the morning or afternoon? Overall ok stay for a quick in and out in Kuala Lumpur.

6/10 Good

Brand new chain hotel/hostel. Nice staff and v clean. Its a strech to say this is in china town, the hotel is on a busy main road next to the maybank tower. Many of the rooms have no windows even though one is clearly visible in the pictures, read the small print, the breakfast is cooked to order which is great, but choice is minimal, the main issue though is the lack of sound proofing between the rooms. Normal conversations in the next room are clearly audible.

I just want to let you know this wasn’t sponsored! It’s just a really amazing place to stay, specially for late check ins and early checkouts. My husband and I stayed for 2 nights and it was our first time at KL Lyf. This place has nothing to envy to any big 5 star hotel chain. The facilities are modern, extremely clean, and the staff is Friendly, respectful & helpful. The location is great to walk to the main attractions (you can see KL tower from the social area balcony) or order a grab and be there within minutes. I think this place is great if you’re a female solo traveler because is very safe. I hope this chain continues expanding we’ve been at the one in Singapore, now KL and both times it has been AMAZING. We ❤️ Lyf

Pros: the room has enough space; the furniture and devices(microwave oven, fridge, hair-dryer TV) are in good condition; the shower area is isolated by a glass door fron the rest of the bathroom. Also a simple vault is available. A desk, a chair and a metal structure to hag the jacket, a lantern for emergency complete the picture. The luggage space is beneath the bad. A preaty good view. Cons: no remote control for air-conditioning system.
