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 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.

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.

The hotel is very new and the location is strategic, which is in the heart of Georgetown. Easy access and walk to the heritage area and best rated street food. The hotel facilities are also sufficient and nice for a holiday stay. We liked the vibrant colors and decor of the hotel. The hotel partnered with the restaurant Mojo Jojo for their breakfast which has awesome ambience. Each floor also has few pantries to refill water, warm up food and chill/chat.

We love all the street food Penang has to offer but some days we need a break, so we hope breakfast has more options. If you're looking for sunshine at the pool, Lyf does not have that. The pool is entirely indoors. For what we paid and the hotel group, we hope that you'll improve on amenities, more care and touch in toiletries.

I had a pleasant stay at Lyf. The hotel boasts a strategic location, situated just opposite the Eastern & Oriental Hotel. A short walk to the back of E&O offers a serene seaside view, perfect for unwinding with the sound of waves. The hotel features a stylish indoor swimming pool, complete with a jacuzzi and a small gym for workouts. The youthful and energetic design of the property is enhanced by unique touches, such as the "Best Day Ever" statue. Additionally, the staff were friendly and welcoming.

However, there are a few areas for improvement: Shower Area: The shower space is quite small. Even as a relatively petite person, I found it challenging to move comfortably. Noisy Water Pump: While the water pressure was excellent, the pump noise was disruptive. Breakfast Arrangement: Breakfast is provided by a separate restaurant, Mojo, rather than being served by the hotel itself.
