lyf Funan Singapore

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 main kitchen needs more coffee mugs :D

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.

There's noticeable music playing in the common area which (due to the open architecture) was audible from my room even around 10/11 PM. Sometime at night it was turned down though, so I wasn't bothered by it. WiFi is not very stable, I got frequent outages of 10-30 seconds. So I was grateful to get a "real" key card to my room so I didn't have to rely on the app to unlock my room (the app is also not always very reliable). I think for some people it might be good to know that this is really a very modern hotel with younger guests and younger staff. It feels a little like a hostel but with hotel rooms! I was fine (32), but if I think of my parents (60+, German), I think for them it might be a little strange to stay there.

I understand that it is hard to live without ac in Singapore. But on top of the whole city/building being on extremely active air conditioning, the fan of the ac unit in the room was directly aimed at the bed. The result was one of us getting sick because of the constant ac abuse and fan running on top of him during sleep. We consequently, lost precious time staying inside resting and recovering, instead of being outside exploring the city. The room could also have a simple spare bed sheet (which would be more than enough), instead of a thick blanket. It is hard to understand: hot outside, cold inside, use a thick blanket to stay warm inside.

The facilities in- and outside the room are very good, having shared fridges, microwaves, frequent drinking water dispensers, a very modern and well equipped kitchen, a decent gym space and the co-working space near reception. The bed is comfy and the room spacious and clean. The location is good, right inside the mall with a food court in the basement as well as a supermarket and quick access to coffee. Quick walk to boat quay, Fort Canning park and a taxi stand right in front of the door.

Unfortunately, even if the A/C is turned off there is still coming quite a lot of cold air which makes it uncomfortably cold. I know Singaporeans like their rooms freezing cold, but there are other people who have a different temperature feeling. Besides that, the co-working space is good but due to mostly kids using it as a play area also very loud and noisy. There are rules written on the walls that each person working should keep their voice down when talking on the phone but that wasn't obviously the problem here.

Staff were helpful, kitchen was great, good access to shopping centre and food/services laundry could be done on site, good location

Room was kind of small, cleaning only every three days which os fine for a long stay but we were staying 4 nights so felt pointless, gym is not good so had to pay for one next door which was expensive

The location, the price point, the simple yet stylish room, and the whole vibe. Everything screams young and lively!!

The intermittent wifi. Also kept bumping into my husband (like literally) because the room was a little too small and my tush was a little too big On our last night the fire alam went off at 4 am

Fantastic location for first time to Singapore. Walking distance to a lot of sites and also easy access to MRT. Comfy beds. Clean room. Kind staff. Great stay overall for a weekend away and would stay again.

The hotel is within a shopping mall. It's not a bad thing necessarily (easy to find food etc), but it's just a bit of an unusual experience if you're not used to it!

Location is central, facilities are modern, room comfortable

The bed set up with the ledge/platform makes it a bit difficult to get in and out of bed. Wasn’t the easiest to find, was like a hidden entrance, not boldly sign posted

Excellent location! Clarke Quay, Boat Quay, the Merlion, Raffles Place, Esplanade, Chinatown, Bugis etc are all within walking distance (less than 1.5km)! Our top-down studio room has everything we need! The space is so well used we’re so impressed to have long and spacious desk with 2 chairs in the room since we’re working remotely from our hotel. Love the co-living space at the lobby and their fully equipped kitchen for cooking! They have pantry serving hot and cold water at every floor as well, super convenient! Tons of food choice within the mall and nearby as well.

We stayed for 7 nights, Wi-Fi was working well up till the last 3 nights, the speed turned terribly slow and we can’t even browse Google map smoothly. The ASR app was working fine for the first few days as well until the last 2 days where it keep auto sign out and there’s 1 day I need to sign in for 4 times keying in all my booking details over and over again.

A really intelligent approach to modern hotel stays for non-business account travelers. The self-serve laundry room across from the hotel entrance is a huge plus, as is the shared kitchen space. Also a plus are the services within the Funan Mall itself, and the hotel's absolutely central location. Rooms are small but functional, and common areas impart a real sense of fun and community.

The bed is jammed against three walls so it's difficult to make it up in the morning. Also wish the hotel had been a bit more accommodating in granting my request for an alteration in dates.
