lyf Funan Singapore

There's a trend now for co-living design, from serviced apartments to new condos to maximize what younger people can afford to live or when they travel or as digital nomads. As an older traveler, it might be a bit confusing as to the minimalist decor and lack of amenities (where's the TV? we have our ipads...but ask, there are shared amenities including a laundromat). Some co-living residences are poorly managed (I can name a few). However ASR's Lyf Funan steps up to the plate. I really appreciate minimalist settings that are well designed, and honestly Lyf Funan is one of the best designed spaces I've ever experienced. The touches are thoughtful, the hooks on the wall, the bright cheery design, the little chalkboard outside to enable conviviality. Every furnishing has been thoughtfully detailed eg beds, spaces for suitcases, etc. The beds are comfortable and the showers are great. And the location is unbeatable. There are hotels in malls, and there are hotels in malls with wonderful food provision. Funan Mall has excellent food outlets. It is close to the MRT, extremely walkable, very accessible. Highly recommended.

The location is great, within walking distance of the main attractions. The room was small but clean, with everything you needed. The staff was engaging and helpful. I would not recommend booking with breakfast if you are not into Asian breakfast (limited Western food options). Also, the hotel is next to a fire station, so you might hear some noise in the room (in case you are sensitive and can’t use earplugs). Overall, recommended for a short stay in SG.

its great, everything that you need to be happy. very close to city hall mrt station, integrated in the funan mall with nice cafes and shops, close to a lot of very nice sightseeing spots. im staying there every year and so far i enjoyed every minute! they also have a shared kitchen where you can cook with the other residents and make new friends from all over the world which is very nice. a gym is also available, so as i said, everything you need to be happy! staff is also very friendly and helpful. see you again next time!

I recently stayed at lyf Funan Singapore and, while the location is undeniably prime and convenient, the overall experience did not feel like a 4-star standard. From the start, the arrival experience was underwhelming. The entrance is through the mall, with a side lift up to the 4th floor, and the lighting there is very dim and a bit unsettling. At reception, there was no warm welcome or smile – just a very transactional check-in, which set the tone for the stay. The concept seems to be heavily self-service. There was no bottled water provided in the room; instead, we had to go out to the corridor to refill water ourselves. The room also did not have changeable/disposable slippers, and the towels provided looked quite old and worn, which really affects the perception of cleanliness and comfort for a so-called 4-star property. Another concern was the luggage storage. There doesn’t seem to be a proper, secure system – we were simply asked to leave our bags on an open storage rack. It felt like anyone could just walk up and take something, which is not acceptable for a hotel in this price and star category. Overall, aside from the good location, I was disappointed with the stay and would not recommend this property to those expecting a true 4-star hotel experience.

This hotel truly exceeded my expectations from the moment I arrived. Even though I arrived at 1:30 a.m., the check-in staff were welcoming and full of energy, which immediately gave me a great first impression. I love the hotel’s décor and overall vibe—bright, colorful, and full of life. The room was neat, tidy, and comfortable, with everything I needed for a pleasant stay.||The location is fantastic—just a five-minute walk to Clarke Quay, right above the Funan Mall, and directly connected by underpass to City Hall Station. It couldn’t be more convenient!||One of the most interesting parts of the hotel is its common areas. They have a cozy, hostel-like atmosphere where travelers can relax, mingle, or simply unwind. There’s even a shared kitchen available for guests to use, though I have to admit, I didn’t do any cooking!||Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again.

We had a great experience as a family. The vibe is definitely (luxury) hostel. It is beautifully decorated and perfectly located. We were upgraded from a 2 bedroom to a 4 bedroom apt, which was lovely. Everything was clean, efficient, perfect. We totally recommend.

My third time staying here. The location is perfect for visiting the major tourists spots, as well as the famous eating places. Staff were helpful and friendly. We got complimentary breakfast on weekdays too. The room was very well designed, pretty and clean. The only drawback is that the corner rooms can be a little noisy on Friday and Saturday nights. And the air con temperature is not easy to control. But, I will come again. It is almost perfect.

My stay here was absolutely amazing. Prime location, very convenient to get around. But the highlight was definitely the people here. Everyone was so hospitable and welcoming. I had some issues with my reservation; however, Lionel and Jasmine were trying so hard to assist me, even though they were so busy at the time. Jenny welcomed me with the warmest smile. I’m glad that I chose Lyf Funan for this trip, and I’ll definitely stay here again.
