lyf Funan Singapore

We lived our stay here (so much we have now stayed in two more Lyf hotels while traveling) Great location - walkable to marine bay and china town Right by the train station (easy airport connection) Plenty of food options in the mall it’s set in Friendly staff Very comfortable bed and modern room - lots of space, hooks and shelves (basics but so many places don’t think these things through) Will be coming back to Singapore after our 6 months in Asia and will stay here again Nice kitchen to cook if desired - great to have an ice machine with the filtered water

The hotel is very new and equipped more for a long stay and work: has an open space for work, meeting rooms, huge shared kitchen, coffee machine, lunch room, washers and dryers, gym, terases, all new and well equipped. Each floor has a common mini fridge and water cooler/warmer. The rooms are private and secure(you can access only your floor).Big shower and comfy large bed, shampoo/soap/etc, hair drier, good internet, AC, all the amenities you need in a hotel room. Everything is very clean and new, the house keeping is done at reasonable times (every 3 days). The location is amazing, close by foot to every major attractions and in a very secure area. The hotel is on top of an mall, so you have groceries/food court there, plus a lot of activities: climbing/shopping/cinema.

The staff made this experience a standout.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Super modern and eco-friendly hotel! It seems people book it also for long-term stay (a few people work there during daytime, many washing machines available). You can get cold drinks at the reception as self-checkout; there's a super spacey kitchen with like 10 microwaves. The entrance is located inside the mall (take the elevator to your very first right opposite to McD), I had troubles to find the access first. The mall is the most interesting mall I've ever been to - great open, innovative concept. You can have breakfast there (I recommend Kaya toast on B2 level for a true Singapore experience, handy that it's also directly in MRT direction), they also have a small supermarket, and many more interesting shops and leisure activities. After I stayed here, I finally understood why Singaporeans love to visit malls. On weekends it's very crowded though (as in all Singapore malls). I am glad I booked this hotel! For this central location it was the most cost-effective choice for me.

I did not have the breakfast that was included, woke up too late and it ends at 10 am, there are so many options in the mall. There was a kettle in the room and I made my own coffee. The Funan mall has so many great places to eat and shopping, the groceries in Singapore are CRAZY Expensive. Although there are great coliving cooking facilities at the hotel, buying groceries looks more expensive than grabbing a quick bite in the over 30 food places right in the mall. I did buy some snacks and Soy Milk for my coffee. I live in a cohousing community back home so this felt very friendly and familiar. Super Location for transit, and access to the high end attractions, waterfront walking paths and fun things that make a visit to Singapore interesting. I liked the bathroom setup and the included toiletries choices, having a kettle in my room and the water jug supplied so you didnt have to buy bottled water.
