    Needed more space around sink for items.

    Room was very small, but it was also cheap, so you get what you pay for. Location was reasonably close to public transport (10-15min walk). Shower was nice.

    We would have been happier if the rooms were a bit more spacious.

    We came to the hotel for a one-night stay for a business conference. The location was central. Overall, we left satisfied.

    Ideal for short stay in the city

    Rooms were quite small – Fine for a short stay, but could feel cramped if you’re staying longer or have a lot of luggage. Noise levels – Soundproofing wasn’t great. You might hear people in the hallways or common areas, especially during busy hours. Limited amenities – The minimalist setup works for some, but if you’re expecting hotel-style perks like room service, toiletries, or daily housekeeping, you might be disappointed. Shared facilities can get crowded – Communal kitchens and laundry areas are a great concept, but they can be hit-or-miss depending on how busy it is. Price vs. comfort – Slightly pricey for the room size and comfort level, especially compared to other boutique hotels in Singapore.

    Lyf Bugis Singapore offers a fun, youthful vibe in a great central location. The co-living concept is well-executed, especially for solo travelers and digital nomads looking for a social atmosphere. The interior design is creative and Instagram-worthy, with lots of communal spaces like shared kitchens and lounges. Staff were friendly and helpful, and check-in was smooth. Rooms are compact but clean and functional—more minimalist than luxurious. Soundproofing could be better, and some guests may find the rooms a bit too basic for the price. Overall, it’s a solid option if you value community, convenience, and design, but might not be ideal for those seeking quiet or upscale amenities.

    The bathroom door could be better and easier to open/close, but anything that will ruins your experience.

    The most attractive thing about this hotel is the marvelous location. Facilities are ok.

    The location was very good..short walk to Bencoolen MRT station, eating places (right opposite the hotel!) & Bugis shopping area. Staff were very friendly & helpful. Room was clean & bed is very comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised when they upgraded us to a bigger room upon checking in. What more could we ask for?

    The room was to small, you could not walk around the bed.

    The location is ideal. The MRT station is close by on Bencoolen street. Many different food outlets on the doorstep. We will revisit in a bigger room.

    The shower was quite cramped and the water would go everywhere. you'd need to request for a shower curtain if you wanted one, which I thought was a bit weird. the sink was quite small and cramped, so washing your face in the morning was difficult. The water pressure in the sink was a bit weak in my opinion, but not terrible I guess. it wouldve been nice if both sides of the bed had access to power ports. when connected to the TV via your phone, the shows would load pretty slow, maybe its worth the hotel looking into their connection issues.

    I asked for a complimentary upgrade for my stay and it was given to us. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Location was good and near alot of food places. Close to MRT station as well. Bed was comfortable, the bath towels were not bad, we've used softer ones from other hotels.

    At my stay there was construction still ongoing in two floors which occupied one of the elevators but was acceptable. Breakfast could start earlier.

    Really good location at Bugis with a lot of restaurants, bars and smaller markets. Just 500m away from MRT from where you easily could reach a lot of famous destinations.

    I think my bed had mites. This is not really uncommon in hotels, but they did seem kind of vicious with their bites. Surprisingly their mattresses don't have protectors on them, so it makes sense they have them.

    Overall nice place and a good vibe.

    There is not much I can say I didn't like because the facilities were nice and the staff was friendly. In terms of the room, it was small but given the normal size of rooms in Singapore it was sufficient.

    The location was the best feature due to its proximity to downtown and all the main areas. Food was very easy to purchase because stores were very close and MRT was a 5 minute walk away.

    The bowl with fruit served for breakfast was very good, but it would be better if one could choose two options plus drinks, instead of just one.
