What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Well-Equipped Gym

I thoroughly enjoyed using the gym at Lyf Hotel. It may not have a lot of equipment, but it was perfect for a quick workout to burn off the calories from the delicious local food I indulged in during my stay. The cardio machines were in good condition, making my workouts both effective and enjoyable.

Delicious Breakfast Options

Every morning, I looked forward to breakfast at Lyf Hotel. I had the opportunity to try Nasi Lemak, which was simply delicious! The variety of options available made it so enjoyable. Although there was a small extra charge for coffee with hot milk, it was well worth it to start my day right.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel which was conveniently located close to the main attractions. The rooms were clean and spacious, but I did find the furniture a bit outdated. The service was attentive, and I appreciated how helpful they were during my stay. On the other hand, the dining options were limited, especially for breakfast, which could use some improvement. Overall, it was a good value for the money, though a few updates would take it to the next level.
