lyf Tokyo Ginza

lyf Ginza Tokyo

The hotel's location is very convenient. It's less than a 3-minute walk from Takaracho and Kyobashi stations, and you can even walk to Tokyo Station. There are also several convenience stores and restaurants nearby. The staff are friendly and provide good service. Since there are many foreign tourists, English communication is not a problem at all. There are also laundry facilities, a gym, and seating areas on the second floor, and meals are available on the first floor. I stayed in a single room this time. Although the space wasn't very large, there was still room for a suitcase. The bathroom was a bit of a pity that there was no bathtub, but the space for showering and using the toilet was sufficient. The staff also kept the place quite clean. One small drawback is that the refrigerator is too small. It can only hold about three plastic bottles before it can't hold anything else. This is not very convenient for people who need to buy alcohol or food and put it in the refrigerator. I think the soundproofing of the room is quite good. I didn't hear any noise from other places during my stay.

Located about a 10-minute walk from Tokyo Station, in the northern part of the Ginza district, it's very convenient for shopping and returning to the hotel. The front desk has staff from multiple countries, and English is readily available. The rooms are quite small; if you need luggage for two people, the third person will need a top-loading cabinet to reach the sink. Also, the refrigerator isn't very cold, so don't buy ice to keep warm. The hotel provides a small water dispenser, microwave, cutlery, and cups, which is very convenient for travelers. It's clear this hotel caters to foreigners. A minor drawback is that the smoking room on the first floor isn't enclosed, and you can smell smoke when you walk in.

lyf Shibuya Tokyo

lyf Shibuya Tokyo

The location is excellent, situated in the bustling Shibuya district, opposite a department store, and surrounded by shops, restaurants, and convenience stores. Even late at night, the streets are bright and well-lit. After 11 PM, access to the lobby requires a room card via the electric door. Upon check-in, the front desk staff provided a detailed explanation of the hotel facilities and important information, along with an envelope containing the room card, breakfast voucher, and information about the hotel's facilities. The double room was reasonably spacious, allowing for easy luggage preparation. There was storage space under the bed, and the room included a bathrobe and slippers. Amenities were complete, including a safe and refrigerator, although bottled water was not provided. The hotel's public facilities are on the second floor, including a laundry room, gym, kitchen, and lounge. Water dispensers are available on both the first and second floors, and additional amenities are available near the elevators on the first floor. Breakfast is also served in the second-floor restaurant. Besides set meals, there are various self-service options such as salads, yogurt, bread, bacon, and cereals, with generous portions to satisfy any appetite. Overall, the experience was great, but the high quality of the location and facilities is reflected in the price. I was only able to experience it because I was attending a Google event.

Very child-friendly, and the location is incredibly convenient. A must-visit for anyone wanting to experience Japanese nightlife. They even provide thoughtful little gifts like slippers for children. It was a pleasant surprise for a mom like me who always prepares slippers for kids. The second-floor lounge is very convenient, with a novel design and streamlined space planning. It's a charming and memorable inn.

I chose the corner twin room, 16 square meters. The space was well-designed, with a high bed frame that could fit a 29-inch suitcase underneath, allowing me to take out my clothes and belongings first. There were four drawers in the room, plus drawers by the bedside, providing ample storage space. There was a refrigerator and plenty of electrical outlets. The shower curtain provided a simple separation between the wet and dry areas; be careful when using it to avoid splashing water near the toilet. There was a small terrace, but it wasn't very practical; it would have been better if it had been used to increase the room's space. The room was quiet during my stay, not too noisy. The pillows were a bit too soft, but the bed was quite comfortable. There was no bottled water in the room; you had to take a kettle down to the communal kitchen. The hotel staff were very friendly, and overall, I was very satisfied.

The room was actually small, just like in the photos. The bed was very comfortable. It was a well-designed hotel with spacious shared areas and plenty of seating. The kitchen was large, so you could cook or buy food to take back to the hotel. There was also a billiards table, which could be used as a large table when not in use. Toothbrushes and toiletries were provided. The staff spoke good English and were easy to communicate with. The only downside was the smoking room, which was what I disliked the most and was a bit of a drawback, but it was also a favorite for smokers.

lyf Bangkok Sukhumvit 8 Shared Apartment

Lyf Sukhumvit 8 Bangkok

A belated review. I stayed at this hotel during my first trip to Thailand in March 2023, for a total of 9 nights, and was generally very satisfied. The location is extremely convenient, just a 3-minute walk from the Nana BTS station. The rooms have a trendy, artsy style, the beds are very comfortable, my room was very quiet, the bathroom was spacious with a separate shower and toilet, and the water pressure was strong with plenty of hot water. The main drawback is the lack of a refrigerator. This is very inconvenient; I bought fruit and drinks and had no refrigerator to use. How can a 4-star hotel not have a refrigerator? I will be returning to Bangkok for 9 days at the end of next month, and I'm currently considering whether to stay at this hotel again, mainly because of the lack of a refrigerator.

— Cat Tom Continue Reading

Overall, it was a good experience. The location is super convenient, just a 2-minute walk from the MRT station. The area downstairs is lively in the evenings, and there's a convenience store nearby. The building's location is convenient, and the male staff at the front desk speaks Mandarin, making communication much easier! Disposable items like toothbrushes, combs, and razors can be obtained at the front desk during check-in. The room provides two power outlets and one USB charging port. The space is quite large; two 29-inch suitcases can fit comfortably in the room! Now for the downsides: 1. There are no slippers or disposable slippers in the room, so having to walk on a dirty floor after showering is unpleasant – you have to bring your own slippers! 2. There's no refrigerator. I planned to buy milk to take upstairs and drink it the next morning, only to find out there was no refrigerator. Keep that in mind!
