Ascott Hotels in Singapore

This hotel is centrally located, very convenient to the MRT and bus stops, making it easy to get around even on foot. As it's surrounded by several academies, it's a paradise for young people with plenty of shopping malls and restaurants. The rooms have basic amenities, but they are thoughtfully designed, such as the hot water dispenser in the room, and shared irons, ironing boards, fridges, and microwaves on each floor. There are also coin-operated laundry facilities, which are very useful given Singapore's hot weather. The laundry room is connected to the gym, a nice touch so you can work out while waiting. For short stays, they don't clean the room daily. The air conditioning is excellent. The bathroom, however, doesn't have a wet/dry separation.

We enjoyed the hospitality of the staff upon check-in! The room was spacious with many amenities provided such as cooking utensils, microwave, stove, dishwasher, etc. The closets were also big enough to store plenty of clothes and even luggages. As much as we love the space, the view and the bathtub, we couldn't help but notice that the appliances were on the older and faultier side. The bedside and table side plugs did not work, and the cover would fall off. The bathroom knobs were also loose and would come off when handled with some force. Overall a pleasant stay, but hope to see an upgrade in the room amentities. Thank you! :)

The front desk service was absolutely fantastic! We had a red-eye flight, so we arrived in Singapore quite early. When we got to the hotel around noon, they were able to check us in early without any issues, and communication was super smooth – truly excellent. The hotel is very close to the subway station and there's a bus stop nearby too, making transportation incredibly convenient. Plus, the room is HUGE! Seriously, huge! I'm very satisfied. There's also a water refilling station in the lobby, which is really handy. Downstairs, there are all sorts of restaurants, just perfect! 😍

Upon arrival, we requested luggage stands and were told they would be sent to our room. However, after waiting for some time, I received a call informing me that none were available and that they would not be able to provide even one. We had five checked-in suitcases, so this was extremely inconvenient. In the end, we had to place our luggage in every available corner of the suite just to make space. Additionally, when I called to follow up, the staff member did not sound pleasant and simply told me there was nothing they could do. This was very disappointing, especially as it’s our first time experiencing such poor service at a hotel.

Well appointed hotel in a great central location for exploring Singapore. Close to MRT and easily accessible. Being on the doorstep of Little India there isn’t much variety to restaurant options without walking a decent distance.  Swimming pool was lovely. Laundry machines a really positive bonus.  The coffee machine was out of order more often than it worked but a minor issue. Free drinking water fountains also a plus.

Picked Lyf at Funan cause of its accessibility to performance venues plus work. This is the second time staying at an Ascott group and serviced apartment-type hotel. The Lyf guards/staff were super helpful during check in. Rooms were from level 5 onwards, situated on both sides of the lift and via a secured door of which we had to tap our room card to access the corridor of rooms. Meaning corridor of rooms (left and right side of the lift) also had its own secured entrance. We could even use the DiscoverASR app on our phone to access our hotel room. Love this idea so much. I feel all hotels should implement this system. There was a black board outside each room for us to draw something should we wish. Each room also came with its own unique door design, which resembled local gates and doors in Singapore. Which is pretty cool! Hotel room was fairly clean, but I did find a huge fingernail on the sheets at one point, which I threw in the bin. Bathroom was good. While I do appreciate the compact creativity of the bathroom, it does not allow a guest to place the bathroom mat in the bathroom itself, without risk of getting it wet or soaked. Instead, placing it outside (in the bedroom) felt more feasible, though not aesthetically pleasing. Love the Ideology shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and hand wash! They always reminds me of Aesop products. Shower water pressure was good, and one could choose between shower head or rain shower. AC was good too, though I do wish that we are able to adjust the temp. I tried to set it lower than 20, but was unable to. Bed was an interesting structure of a mattress on a wooden (plank) “shelf”, which meant that it was lower than a normal bed height. This allowed for better usage of the room space, though older guests might find trouble getting up. I do love that there was a small space from the mattress, which allowed us to place our phone/charging devices, even a drink beside us. There was a small room safe was underneath the bed too. However, as the middle leg of the wooden structure also supported the weight of the structure, this meant that one might stub their toes/feet into it. Guests mentioned that they didn’t like having to crawl across the bed to draw the blinds up and down, which is exactly I had to do too. As there was some landscaping works going on, I also saw a giant grasshopper outside. Very nature vibes! There was breakfast provided daily on Level 5. Nothing fancy but still pretty decent. There was a mix of local/asian and some western cuisine on the menu. Staff at the breakfast area were super amicable and efficient. Appreciated that there was a small kettle, and two mugs in the room. Which meant there was no need to head to communal kitchen for hot water should one decide to have a cuppa or instant soup. There was however no mini fridge in the room. And no telly either, not even a small one. Not a huge issue as a staycation, but might have been a deterrent if I had been visiting. At 18sq metres, this basic one of a kind room was also much smaller than the Lyf on Elizabeth St in Melbourne - which had a telly and fridge, at 22sq metres. There was however considerable good usage of the room at Lyf @ Funan. Hanging racks instead of a wardrobe. Shelves of sorts, and hidden corners to put your stuff in. Some worked better than others. As I normally make my bed before checking out, I wondered if it was more difficult for housekeeping to make the beds of these sort of rooms considering the height and the fact that it’s wedged to the end at the window. Nevertheless, albeit the shortcomings in the functionality of a some design aspects, I would definitely still stay here again, if the price was right. They have strong competition from nearby hotels. Place is good. Safe, and easy to get to, even if it’s past midnight or 6am in the morning. The entrance to Funan is actually open, and there’s a straight lift to the hotel. maccas downstairs that opens till 2am.

After comparing many hotels, I finally settled on this one. It's rare to find such a spacious room at this price point and in this location. The DT line subway station is right downstairs, but Google Maps directed me to another line. Arriving at night, the area was quite deserted. I had to ask for directions and learned that I needed to walk through a food street to reach the main street. Taking the bus from downstairs, it only takes 15 minutes to get to Marina Bay. There's a 7-Eleven and food stalls downstairs, offering plenty of dining options. The room is clean and spacious, with a water purifier, but no direct drinking water tap. There's also a water purifier next to the front desk. There's a pool and a gym; however, the pool closes quite early, so I didn't get a chance to swim. It looked very clean, operating from 7 am to 9 pm. There are no lifeguards, and I recall the depth was 1.2m. No deposit is required; you just need to fill in your email during check-in, and check-out is also very quick. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely stay here again next time!

It was very convenient and comfortable for our family of four to stay here. The facilities were a little outdated, but it did not cause any problems during our stay. We had an issue late at night and asked the reception staff member, May, for assistance. We would like to express our sincere thanks to her once again for her help. Overall, it was a clean, pleasant, and satisfactory place to stay.

Excellent stay in the City Square area! The hotel’s location is incredibly convenient, with direct access to the train station and City Square Mall just steps away. Everything you need — shopping, dining, and transport — is right at your doorstep. The stay was comfortable, smooth, and perfectly suited for both business and leisure travelers. Highly recommended

I had a wonderful stay at Lyft One-North Studio and truly enjoyed the entire experience from start to finish. The studio was incredibly comfortable, clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, making it feel like a peaceful home away from home. The space was well-maintained, functional, and perfect for both rest and work, especially in the quiet One-North area. What made the stay even better was Reezah’s outstanding hospitality. He was extremely patient, helpful, and sincere throughout the booking process. He took the time to explain the different room options and gave very practical tips to help me secure the most affordable room that still suited my needs perfectly. His responsiveness and willingness to assist made everything smooth and stress-free. I really appreciated how easy and seamless the whole stay felt because of his support and attention to detail. It’s rare to find both a comfortable accommodation and such genuine customer service together. Highly recommend Lyft One-North Studio for anyone looking for a cozy, convenient, and hassle-free stay in Singapore. I would definitely stay here again in the future!
