I stayed one night at lyf Funan and found it modern, clean, and very convenient -- right above the mall (known as a tech hub) with food, shopping, and transport at your doorstep. The co-living concept gives the place a youthful, social energy that’s different from traditional hotels. The design of the room was compact and minimalistic. It’s important to note that lyf operates as a co-living concept rather than a typical serviced hotel. Many amenities are shared, and the hospitality style is more casual. As someone used to more serviced hotels, this took a little adjustment. For example, I wasn’t sure how guest services worked: there wasn’t a phone in the room, so I initially went downstairs for towels and toiletries set. Only later did I notice a shared phone in the pantry, though I wasn’t sure how it was meant to be used. It made me realise that part of the lyf experience is being a little more self-sufficient and open to communal spaces. Once I understood this, I could see the charm: it’s social, central, and comfortable for solo travelers. Guests just need to come with the right expectations: It’s not a luxury hotel, but a fresh, community-driven alternative.
