lyf Georgetown Penang

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is very strategic, making it convenient to get around. Breakfast at Kenny's was simple yet delicious, and it was a great way to start the day. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable experience. 😊

lyf was the perfect place to a short stay in Penang! The room was clean and spacious and Georgetown was a short walk away, so I could easily visit any attractions. Overall the facilities were excellent. The gym was a bit small but had enough equipment for the space. The pool was very nice and well maintained and the washing facilities were much appreciated. The staff were also very friendly and helpful throughout, making the place feel homely and relaxing. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in Georgetown.

Positives: location and staff Negatives: This is not a hotel. It’s more of a college dormitory pretending to be a hotel. The place doesn’t have the proper amenities to be a hotel. The breakfast is served at an outside restaurant near the hotel and the menu only had 3 items with one of them being out of stock. The restaurant staff were rude and it took 40 minutes to get breakfast served. There is no bottled water in the room. They give you a jug and you go filled it outside(super unclean). I saw people washing their hand, mouth and face where you are supposed to get “clean water”. The room is super small like a college dormitory. No hot water for two days. Don’t book at this “hotel”. Pay a little more at a proper hotel and get the full experience of being in a real hotel unless you want to feel like a college student again. After traveling to 54 countries and staying at hundreds of hotel I can clearly say is one of the worst I experienced especially with how much they are charging per night.

First time to Penang and we are glad we chose LYF! Very clean and bright. Housekeeping is well done. Staffs are friendly and helpful and love the amenities when you can do the laundry and heat up your food. There's even fridge and ice box which is perfect for tourists! Walking distance to famous night markets too!

Excellent Location. There is a Chagee beside too. Lots of bars and food nearby. However the room is quite small and squeezy. Doesn’t really have a place to open up mid sized luggage fully. If the price is right for a budget stay, why not? If high demand / surge of hotel price, might be better to look elsewhere.
