lyf Sukhumvit 8 Bangkok

You get what you pay for. It's small and cozy and kind of like a hostel/hotel mix. Need to fill your own water at the dispensers, but they provide you with a pitcher. Honestly it's a place to sleep and maybe nerd a little. Just there's barely any room to do much. Friendly staff and great location though.

The room was fine. As expected for what you paid for. But service really sucked. They only clean the room every 2 days. BUT if you arrive at 12:01 am the following day, while you have to pay for that night, it doesn't count for housekeeping. So you get your room cleaned on the 3rd night instead. Thin walls so you hear your next door neighbor. No real deal for your laptop, but the work tables at the lobby are fine. If you can get a seat when it's full.

This hotel is a complete joke. No TV in the room, laundry costs 100 baht, and using the dryer is another 100 baht. The room smells weird, they don’t clean it daily, and everything just feels half-assed. The little terrace in front? Off-limits from 5 PM to 4 AM because they rent it out to the sleazy bar across the street. You can’t even sit there, smoke, or have your own drink like a normal human being. Me and my husband bought a can of Coke (95 baht) from the rude woman who runs that bar just so we could sit out front. We had a sealed bottle of tequila with us—not even drinking it—and the second he went to the bathroom, she came up to me all aggressive and said, “You want tequila? We have tequila,” like I was doing something wrong. Hotel staff were polite, but that’s about the only decent thing I can say. This place is trash. Don’t waste your time. There are way better hotels that actually treat you like a guest—not a problem.
