I chose this place because I had such a great experience staying at a lyf property in Singapore before. However, it seems that aside from the name (an Ascott-affiliated apartment), the management here has nothing to do with the original group. While the Singapore lyf felt like a minimalist version of a high-end hotel (impeccable bedding, cleanliness, and facilities, just small rooms with no extra amenities), this one is more like a budget hotel in China, perhaps under 200 yuan.
1. **Cleanliness**: The room's floor, sink, and other facilities had marks, giving an overall feeling of being unclean and unhygienic. The bedding also didn't look clean enough. I felt itchy all over after the first night, though I can't prove there were bugs or anything; it just felt generally unclean.
2. **Soundproofing**: The soundproofing is terrible. When the neighbor flushed the toilet, the noise and water flow sounded like they were in my room. Upstairs, noises sounded like the ceiling was about to collapse, like a hammer hitting my heart – it was really unsettling and uncomfortable, especially when staff were cleaning. I felt constantly on edge, my heart pounding.
3. **Breakfast**: It was a bento box, which was a first for me. A small drink, a bento box, and self-serve toast and coffee.
4. **Location**: It's not far from the subway station, but this neighborhood is quite dirty and chaotic. It was scorching hot when I arrived, and walking through the area, the overwhelming smell of urine, garbage, and perfume was just too much.
Overall, booking this hotel was a poor decision. The only reason I gave it 4 points is because the young staff at the front desk were very kind and helpful – this rating is for them. However, since the hotel itself was such a disappointment, I can only give this overall score.
