Adequate room, clean or sparkling clean
Can walk to Masjid Jamek
From there, one can go to TRX for brunch.
Or, head to anywhere in KL. Short ride also in morning to TRX
Will stay again

Staff at reception are very friendly and helpful. However, the face towels are stained even though they I am sure they are washed thoroughly. Water pressure in the bathroom is also weak. There were ants crawling on the kitchen top. The sofas at the lobby are stained. The air con unit in one of the bedrooms is badly positioned. It is blowing towards the bed and we had to switch it off when sleeping.

The room was much bigger and modern than I expected. It was clean, urban decor and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Is close to Chinatown which is what I wanted. I will stay there again and is worth the rate I paid.

I recently stayed at LYF Chinatown Kuala Lumpur, and it exceeded all my expectations. The hotel's vibrant and modern design immediately stands out, creating a youthful and energetic atmosphere. Located right in the heart of Chinatown, it offers easy access to local attractions, street food, and public transport, making it a perfect spot for both tourists and business travelers.
The rooms are compact yet functional, equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. You may request for slippers, toothbrush, etc from the receptionist. The shared spaces, such as the co-working areas and lounge, are excellent for those who need to get some work done or simply want to relax. Free wi-fi is fast and functionable well. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist with a smile.
Itโs an ideal choice for solo travelers or groups who enjoy a sociable and lively environment. Overall, LYF Chinatown Kuala Lumpur is a great blend of comfort, convenience, and creativity at an affordable price. Highly recommended!

This hotel is very close to several mosques, museums and government buildings. The streets showcase interesting murals and walking around is very convenient. The staff is welcoming and the restaurant services are nice.

Room was clean! Although they missed out some biscuits by the door.
I liked that thereโs a cafe at the lobby with 10% off for guests. I love the rendang-sourdough set there.

Our second stay here. Price is reasonable if you book early. Around 10-15mins walking distance to lrt and chinatown. Cleanliness wise, good but it's best to put on slippers. The hot water and water strength is intermittent, we did not encounter this during our first visit.
However, hotel location is not the best if you want to look for food at night especially on rainy nights.
Response from Property: Hi, Thank you for staying with us again and for your detailed feedback.

We will look into ways to better support our guests with dining options and recommendations.Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to have the opportunity to make your next stay even better.Cheers!Leong Eu May Deputy lyf Champion

The location is good, Near MRT station, however, the room is small and the AC is blowing air directly towards the bed.
The pillow is not comfortable.

Love the vibe especially level 12 ( 24 hours kitchen , gym, common space ) and level 13 ( roof top to chit chat ) . Nearby Chinatown and monorail ( go onwards to maybank and turn right ) . New concept ๐๐ฅฐ every corner very instagramable . Will comeback again

Clean, new, good location and budget friendly. Stayed Two nights in the single room. It's a super single bed with attached washroom. All amenities that other hotels provide are available on request here - shampoo, earplugs, hairdryer, water, etc. The only down side is the room with street view can hear the traffic sound all day. But for the price they charging for per night stay, I'll not complain. Just request for earplugs from the friendly receptionist, light sleeper like me had good sleep for two nights. Definitely will come back again.

Walking distance to Chinatown, relatively clean. We had a good night sleep. Bed was comfortable. Staff were friendly. Will stay here again the next time we visit KL.
