It’s a good but not great property. Clean with a nice lobby and access to lots of restaurants and shops. I would stay here again, but it’s not my first choice in George Town. My favorite thing about the hotel is that it was washing machines and dryers!

Our 3rd Trip coming back to PEN this year and have been staying in lyf all the time. What draws us back is not only the old heritage places, food & entertainments. Lyf team lead by their GM Nixen Chin always make you feel at ease and accommodative to their maximum capacity. Many of my friends felt the same and worth a try for yourself to verify my review of Lyf Georgetown.

The hotel is very new, colourful and lively. Nice location right behind the Eastern oriental hotel, good access to food and main street. Hotel equipped with 24 hours indoor swimming pool and gym and good enough for some exercise. One turn off is the view from the room, we were assigned for a room in inner section of the hotel which basically facing the wall and window of the opposite room. I think the front desk can do better as the outer room facing the street are mostly empty.

More of a hostel/coliving property

Lyf is upscale hostel. Hotels.com as many other properties, with this property, too,misclacify the property as a 4-star hotel. Rooms are extremely small, the bathroom is as big as you move around. In the shower you can hardly move around. Hotels.com misclacify the star rating for most of the listings.

I came with my elderly parents, and i really appreciate the hotel staffs' assistance. The hotel staffs were attentive, especially the girl named Collette. She is friendly, helpful and very passionate about this job. Even though she is not a front desk staff, yet she still provided assistance where possible. 1 most impressive point was before she signed off, she saw me at the lobby and she came by to make sure everything was alright with us, then only she went home. Another staff Ammar was handling our check in. In view of our situation (elderly parents in wheel chair), he proactively upgrade my parents to the OKU room which was more spacious and has extra amenities like handrail. I really appreciate his thoughtfulness. Besides that, the hotel was clean with vibrant & modern design. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and i will definitely come back again. 5 stars without any hesitation. Cons: if parking is free for guest, that would have been perfect. :)

The hotel is new and has potential, but there are a few areas that need improvement. The housekeeping was below expectations — there were some stains on the towel and slippers. We requested a replacement pair of slippers, but it took several calls before they were delivered, perhaps due to the late hour. The soundproofing is quite bad, since our room faced the street, there was a lot of traffic noise, almost like windows opened. We could also hear loud doors opening and closing from nearby rooms. Overall, the stay was still okay, but with better housekeeping standards and improved soundproofing, the hotel could be much better.
