    I had to pay $2 for a towel, representing 1% of my total booking. Considering the property offers 5%, 10%, 15%… offers even on the same check in date, I see that as an inconvenience and a bad gesture towards its clients.

    Responsiveness of the staff, cleanliness and location.

    I thought the pods were very noisy, I kept waking up from the noise outside (even though I was in a 4 person pod). When I woke up the bathrooms were quite dirty and there was no toilet paper in any of the toilets.

    Very social, it’s big and there’s a lot to do.

    Having made a booking error, me accidentally booking two rooms for the same night, whilst using one. The staff was helpful in the beginning to assist in cancelling one of the bookings. One month later the issue has still not been resolved and the Lylo is seemingly refusing to accept the cancellation request from booking. Booking has been slow and negligent in filing the request, but we don't understand why we cannot be helped. It is leaving a very bitter taste, casting shadows over what otherwise was a very nice experience. We hope booking or the Lylo is willing to help us after leaving this review.

    The hotel is great, for anyone looking for a place centrally located and well taken care of. Me and partner stayed in a private room if which some have windows, others don't. The bad overall score has to do with another issue we are now experiencing, see details in review below.

    No window in the room, but there is a livestream view from the roof playing on the TV so you don’t feel too claustrophobic. The aircon was good so it’s not stuffy.

    Cool concept and the single rooms were well designed.

    There’s one male staff were so arrogant. Can’t even get over himself of kept making mistakes by checked in for the wrong bed number to the key card. He wasn’t very friendly to the guests. Not very approachable. Not very helpful and not one single apology to customers of his own mistakes. The bed were not clean, hair and stuff from previous guests is laying on the pillow and bedsheets. I had to checked out early to find a different hotel to stay.

    Pros and Cons
    • Leisure trip

    • Queen Ensuite Room Interior
    • Stayed 1 night

    Stayed one night in a single room with a queen bed and my own bathroom.  It was a comfortable stay and I had a good sleep.  A few nights later I stayed in a pod.  As mentioned in numerous other reviews, it was hot and no air circulation.  I know it's cost effective if travelling on your own and the facilities are nice but is there nothing to be done about what seems to be the #1 complaint?

    Took the bus from the airport ($20) and it dropped me in the city centre. The Lylo was only minutes away. I managed to get into the room early as I was pretty jet-lagged. I didn't mind paying the $15 extra that is charged for early check-in. Nice to have a restaurant there.

    The women’s bathroom was a state - only ONE SINK for the whole floor was working - disgusting. Showers and toilets okay in terms of cleanliness but no amenities ie body soap or shampoo. Laundry very expensive.

    Pods provide a lot of private and the dorms are clean.

    It gets very hot in the pod and there's no ventilation. The shared facilities (showers, sinks , toilets) were all broken or filthy. No soap, no toilet paper, water everywhere and not enough sinks for the whole floor. The self checkin was also annoying. I never even saw anyone at reception. The only staff I came across was housekeeping.

    The actual pod was nice. Very spacious, with lots of storage, pockets, and an accessible light and electric plug to charge any devices. The setup was practical as well with large lockers and a low light in the shared area that is always on making easier to see what you need.

    There was only one working sink in the women's first-floor bathroom. The bathrooms were often not very clean, with hair on the floor and walls and overflowing paper towel bins. The toilets ran out of toilet paper and it wasn't replaced. The sleeping pods were unbearably hot with no way to cool it down (there is a vent/fan to circulate air, but it doesn't do anything) The staff all acted like I was annoying, and they'd rather not be there.

    The pods are large and clean, and the mattresses are comfortable. The whole building is attractive. Very convenient location. Good price. They have a room to store luggage before check-in.
