This is a neat new hotel across the road from the E&O. There are a couple of interesting eateries behind the hotel. Everything is sparkly clean and fresh. There are lots of places to hang out for work in the lobby and a chill area on each floor. There is also a kitchen sink and dining area on each floor where you can sit to eat and wash up afterwards. I didn't use the WiFi as I used my phone Really liked that it has Netflix and you can sign into your own account. There is also a self service launderette on the premises if you need to do laundry. The area is quite centrally located. GRAB is easy to get but if you are in the mood to walk the main tourist area is about 30 mins walk away. The rooms are cosy and compact. Bed very comfortable. Best of all there is instant hot water in the shower so you don't need to stand there waiting for it to heat up. Breakfast is.a set menu of 3 things with coffee/ tea but if you want a latte or fancy coffee you need to pay more. I appreciate the lack of wastage.

The pool is on the second floor and doesn't get direct sun. It's not very big. Having to pay extra for latte etc at breakfast.

Lovely interiors! comfy beds and pillows Very clean Laundry rooms available onsite Pool + gym available Every staff we met was very friendly and helpful

Drainage in bathroom was bad and it always flooded the shower area when we showered. But small issue, hotel should be able to fix it

I’ve travelled the world and stayed in several hundred properties. The customer service here is unparalleled. Full credit to the staff and manager for building such an impressive culture.

Breakfast on the first day lacked some variety. Thus improved after discussions with the manager who was so accommodating. Photo of improvement in breakfast.

Very good stay at Lyf. Good location. Can walk to street food. Hotel design very modern, and bed is comfortable. My English not very good but staff friendly and like to help.   Breakfast serve at Mojojo or something. Next to hotel. They serve set menu, very nice taste & simple. Staff also friendly. Will recommend and come back.

No Japanese food nearby. But will opening soon.

Friendly Front Desk Staff, Hotel is clean and bed is very comfortbale. 24 hours Gym and beautiful swimming pool. Very convenient as walking distance to Chulia Street and Kimberley street with my families.

Nothing and all good, definitely will comeback and recommend to my friends

The concept and vibrant colour of the hotel. Helpful and friendly staff. Firm and comfy bed with large flat screen Smart TV that can connect to Netflix. Strategic location.

The breakfast. The breakfast is a set, not a buffet spread.

The hotel is located at a very good location where the access to everywhere is easy and convenient. The hotel is also equipped with a pantry, an ice maker and a water dispenser (which is great for the heat after an outing!!)

The parking around the hotel is a privately owned and hence, parking is chargeable. However, the charging system for the parking is not very friendly, you will need to validate every time you exit as compared to validating it only for the first time. The breakfast offered is the same everyday with only 4 items on the menu. Slightly overpriced for the ingredients used. If you stayed longer and opted for the breakfast package, you are probably better off without the breakfast offer and head out to try better food options (subject personal preference).

The hotel opened only 1 month before our stay. Still, the service was excellent, very professional, and well coordinated from check-in to check-out. The team is exceptionally friendly and helpful. All facilities are brand new and very stylish. Every single corner of the hotel is truly Instagramable and invites to stay, connect, rewind, and/or focus. The hotel provides a swimming pool, well-equipped gym, several rooms for focused work, a community kitchen, chill out areas, and a restaurant. In addition, the team offers various workshops and other activities that make the stay memorable. The hotel is very well located. We explored all main sightseeing spots by feet. The additional tips of the hotel team definitely helped and gave us inspiration what to see and where to eat. All facilities are very clean and upon request the room was cleaned every day. We felt very welcomed and cozy in the hotel. Therefore, we extended our stay by one night and also changed our hotel booking for Kuala Lumpur to stay at Lyf. We would always come back and recommend it to our friends.

The breakfast options are very limited. There is one vegetarian option, one local dish and one Western. We ended up eating every day the same, which was tasty, but still boring after a while. Moreover, the internet in the room could have been faster. Acknowledging the efforts for more sustainability, we would have preferred bottled water in the room. The room size is rather small and more suitable for young couples than families.

The location at the end of Penang Rd is perfect for access to the many eateries and cafes newly opened in the area. It's only about 8 min walk along Penang Rd to the KOMTAR Prangin Mall area and easy walking distance to Campbell and Chulia Streets. The local bus stop only 3 min walk away along Penang Rd. The indoor pool was great for a refreshing dip, every staff member I interacted with were extremely courteous and helpful to my needs. The room was clean and comfortable, quiet and spacious with great decor. I will definitely stay here again when I next visit Penang, it is great value for money.

I liked everything about this hotel

Vibrant, good location, reception staff friendly and helpful. The little restaurant in the hotel Nice food and the staff working there delivering a great service.

The staff who use the exit door near the elevator, moving throughout the levels, not shutting it properly, which makes an alarm go off constantly beeping for a long time, till they shut it. This happened from morning and into the night. I had to shut the door during our stay more than a dozen times. This was mentioned many times to reception staff if they can make sure staff shut the door properly. This is extremely disrespectful of the people staying there wanting a relaxing holiday. Allowing this to continue. You may want to change rooms right near the elevators and the exit door if you are staying here. This is a wonderful place to stay close to the water and to main areas, but PLEASE train your staff to shut doors properly that have alarms that constantly beep.
