Immaculately clean and exceptionally comfortable, this accommodation is ideally located near top sights, great dining, and the LRT. Rooms are well-appointed with filtered water, in-room soap, shampoo, body wash, and lotion, with additional toiletries available at the front desk.

Convenient hotel near Chinatown

Located less than 10 mins walk from Petaling Street Chinatown, also less than 10 mins walk to the LRT / MRT station. No issues during my stay, friendly staff and Wi-Fi worked. Room cleaning services not provided daily so do clarify when checking in so you are aware. A gym with a few machines and some weights. Washing machines and dryers on-site, pay at reception for token (around MYR 22), washing liquid included. My first stay at this hotel and I was happy with it.

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.

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

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.
