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.

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.

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

Hotel co-living concept to meet the expectations of the targeted customer base. Newly opened hotel that is nice to experience while everything is new. There was a major water outage that left in-house guest frustrated and annoyed. As the prolonged water outage was not communicated to in-house guest and resolved as quickly as expected,I checked out by 10am.I witnessed a foreign guest make complaints,ask for compensation and summoned the manager to address the water outage issue as i handed over my room key card to reception. Lyf Raja Chulan Kuala Lumpur still has a lot of room to grow to meet the expectations of international travellers.

Not as good as it could be

We were really looking forward to our stay here, our fourth stay in KL but it was by far the worst of the four. The quality and cleanliness of the room, bathroom and bed were good but that was where it ended. The breakfast was terrible, in theory you are given four options (all seem to be very small) but not all these are available (“we do not have”). You are only allowed one drink so for instance you can’t have coffee and juice, you have to choose between these. The listing said there were cable TV channels, there weren’t any and no apps such as Astro,Netflix, Disney YouTube etc as an alternative (“we do not have”). Fine if you want to watch Malaysian TV but that’s it. And no bottled water as per the listing (“we do not have”). The staff do not seem to care which is strange as there seemed to be hardly any guests in the hotel, you would think they would treat the few they did have a bit better and not deliver the standard “we do not have” response in a “we do not care” manner. Overall a huge disappointment, it claims to be 4* but not in our opinion. There are many hotels in KL in this price bracket, we’d suggest you try one of the alternatives.
