The hostel is in a great location, with easy access the city center and the bus terminal. It has all the basic facilities anyone would need and it was generally pretty clean. The main lobby has areas where you can work and the wifi is pretty good. There are lockers to put your belongings and if you arrive too early they have storage space.

I was really looking forward staying in a hostel with pods, but it ended up feeling very claustrophobic, especially considering the fact that there are no windows in the rooms. The pods were quite stuffy and I ended up sleeping with my door slightly opened. This is where a lot of the people doing the likes of 'Kiwi Experience' or similar tour stay. So if you self organise your trip it will not be as social as you might think despite the large number of people there as the others will stay in their groups. It can make you feel like an outsider.

We had a fantastic stay at Lylo! We booked a private queen room, and it was absolutely silent, clean, and super comfortable. The mattress was amazing we both slept incredibly well. The kitchen is well-equipped if you want to cook your own meals, and there’s a cool on-site bar that’s reasonably priced. Even though the room didn’t have a window, it wasn’t an issue at all they’ve cleverly installed a TV with a live roof webcam that gives a sense of daylight. Overall, it’s a great budget option that honestly feels more like a hotel than a hostel. Highly recommended!

Only downside: it’s about a 15 to 20-minute walk to the city center, but that also means it’s much quieter than most places downtown.

The location is a short 10-15 minutes walk to the nearest supermarket and everything else (could be even as near as underv 10 minutes (e.g. takeaways, necessities, electronics etc.). The facilities of the hostel were great and regularly maintained, especially loved the privacy provided by the pods and the cleanliness of the shower rooms and toilets. The kitchen was well equipped and cleaned frequently as well. Travellers that i have met there are all respectful and friendly. There are many activities organised at the hostel to allow guests to network and make friends, with activities in the morning and night almost running daily.

Some of the rooms can get slightly chilly at night and would appreciate if the air-conditioning can be turned down at night but other than that, really enjoyed my 2-week stay at Lylo!

Great spot especially if you are travelling on a budget. Decent sized rooms and facilities were more than up to par. Lots of great hang out spots if your just wanting to chill or even make a friend or two. HUGE kitchen but also have a great restaurant/bar attached if you dont feel like cooking or want a sneaky bevy. Will definitely be coming back or even trying one of their other locations.

A few of the laundry machines were out of order which made it hard to do your laundry but there is a self service laundry down the road which helped.

LYLO is one of the best I have ever stayed in in all of my 50+ countries. Very new and clean, as well as well thought of— from digital self check-in and check-out, down to the modern pod with sliding cover— it was all worth the price! Large kitchen with complete cooking tools and utensils and large shelvings to store personal food stuff (though i didn’t use kitchen). Room was of 8-bed and still felt roomy. I usually prefer rooms with windows but Lylo’s felt cozy and I had great sleep. They have an in house bar/restaurant and a tatoo and barber corner!

The pod squeaks when I move but not too loud. The bathroom cleaning is done mid day and sometimes I have to go to other floors just to pee or wash my face— maybe do the cleaning at night?

This was literally the best hostel I ever stayed and I stayed definitely in over 50+ hostels around the world. Check in was so easy and very friendly staff, the room are nice, specious and clean, the beds are huge for hostel to be honest and very comfortable and quiet, no need to worry about noise in the night. There is light and electricity next to the bed. Also the door makes it very private capsule. Another nice touch was barber and coffee in the lobby with huge kitchen to cook own meals. It’s really paradise, can’t wait to return it again.

Hm, it would be really hard to think of any, even small things🤷🏻‍♂️.

I had a great stay here! The hotel is exceptionally clean, well-managed, and thoughtfully designed. The facilities are complete and well-maintained. I especially appreciated the spacious kitchen, which made it easy to cook my own meals. The washing machine and dryer were powerful and efficient—the dryer worked particularly well. There are also plenty of group tours available, which is perfect for solo travelers looking to explore and meet others. Overall, you can tell this is a brand that’s run with care and attention to detail. Highly recommended!

The kitchen can get a bit messy during peak hours due to heavy use.

The Lylo is a nice place to stay - it's I guess technically a hostel, but is pretty clean and quiet, and also seems like a new fitout. There was a pretty good mix of ages staying from what I saw and it seems like it's really trying to be a social sort of place to stay. Overall it's pretty good and the occupants/guests seemed pretty well-behaved/reasonable when I stayed.

Very minor complaints - the shower design is a bit strange as it's only a small lip that in theory stops water from exiting the shower and down into the toilet area. In practice I think water runs down the shower curtain a bit and so the entire bathroom floor does get a little wet. Not like full standing water wet, but splashes here and there. Annoying if you needed to re-enter to grab your stuff later though. Also the TV channels are just the standard, so nothing that exciting available.

Very nice place to stay. Especially with all the communal areas. Lots of activities going on at Miss Lucy's (although not always very well organised or timely). The pods are very comfortable, with plenty of space to store your things and a secure locker. You can have your own space and privacy, which is not always the case in hostels. The kitchen is large and there is plenty of seating. The staff is nice, and the travel desk thing is very practical. Check-in and check-out are quite easy (you do have to pay 15$ if you want to check-in early tho). I stayed in other hostels since Lylo, and honestly, nothing compares to it. By far the best hostel I've ever been in.

These details annoyed me a little, but they don't change the rating I give this place: The bathrooms can get very slippery because of the water coming out of the showers. There are no brushes to clean the toilets after us, so sometimes you have a souvenir of the previous person (lovely...) More often than I could count, mostly in the morning or end of the day, only one toilet had toilet paper in the girl's bathroom. Which was very annoying. It does get warm very quickly in the pods, but if you turn on the room fan and your pod fan, it's kind of okay.

It was one if the best hostels I ever stayed at. The pods are big and comfortable and you can really close them. That way you don’t really hear a lot from others in the room. The bathrooms were spacious and the interior everywhere was nice. The whole atmosphere was really open so it was easy to meet new people, especially in the kitchen area. The location was great as well.

The kitchen didn’t have any kitchen gear like mixers or stuff like that. There was one Airfryer but at least one oven would have been nice. And in the showers there weren’t a lot of opportunities to put your clothes and the rags that are there could use a good cleaning.
