We loved the slightly alternate style of this hotel. Rooms are compact but thoughtfully put together with many thoughtful details.
Kieran
Not a 4 star hotel, Tiny room. No bathroom privacy. No amenities in room, not even kettle. No sound proofing. The list goes on...

Lyf is the true definition of comfort, good design, cleanliness, creative spacious work spaces, practicality and the best hospitality I've experienced in a long time. I adored the spacious courtyard ambience, the huge and colourful kitchen, the great location close to trams and the overall feeling of being welcomed and supported during our stay. Lyf is at the heart of where art, design and innovation meet to make something wonderful!
Jenni
Wonderful place. As a rural resident, I only stay here when I’m in Melbourne. And I tell all my family and friends to stay here. Easily five out of five stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Tim
Nice newish hotel in a great area for pubs, restaurants etc. A little bit quirky in so much as the room decor & bed layout. If your infirm climbing up onto the bed will not be for you. Staff absolutely brilliant!
Cristiano
Love the vibe of this hotel.

The room was clean and had enough for a quick day or two. Windows are tinted so it feels claustrophobic. Area is fantastic. Staff is a bit dry/short. They could be nicer

Room isn’t cleaned daily. When I asked for extra towels and toilet roll. Staff didn’t look happy. I paid room high price and they should clean daily. Beware. Check compare other hotels nearby for same price and have room cleaned each day.
Stewart
Seriously, everything was amazing. The room, the facilities, the location and, most importantly, the hotel team. Lovely people, lovely city, lovely area.

I adore the vibe, so friendly and welcoming! A real home away from home! Everything else of course, is wonderful too.

Great hotel, service and staff were great only thing that was lacking was internet did not work whole time we were there and tv did not connect to internet so we weren’t able to access this.

SO well located and a lot going for this place but I do wish the rooms were a little better equipped.
The philosophy of sharing is great - until it’s 11.30pm and you need a kettle, or the Uber Eats arrives and the only bowls available are four floors away.
And who really wants to drink vino from a 3-D printed mug?
For $40 per room everyone could have all they need.

Cute place, inexpensive but too noisy. All night you can hear guests above you and beside you in their rooms. Noise in the common areas goes through the night. Music is also played in the hallway that you hear from your room. I would not stay again.

Cosy room, the layout with the bed was a little snug but the room was nice and quiet, clean and modern. The shower did spill out into the rest of the bathroom making the floor and bathmat very wet. A bar fridge and kettle would be nice in the room, but for a quick overnight stay the room was sufficient and very well priced.

Nice hotel in a cool area and lovely and helpful staff! I like that Lyf promotes sustainability with shared spaces etc. Cafe next door, South of Johnston, with a fireplace was fantastic.
However, the hotel was not very quiet. Rooms - yes I asked to change to another one but that wasn't much better - let all the noise from the streets in and water pipes were noisy as well. I guess for sound sleepers and people staying up late this is not an issue.
Bed was super comfy though but I was not a fan of the bed \"frame\" design, bed was awkward to get in to as it was on a weird platform.

The room was quite small but the bed was really comfortable and the space was clean. I really enjoyed the on site laundry, it's super convenient and quick, no need for detergent, cash, etc, just put your clothes in and scan. The location is a 10min walk to Fitzroy Gardens and it's an amazing park. Groceries and cafes are also within a 10 minute walking radius. Bars and clubs are two streets down but the area is super quiet, you won't hear the noise. Overall, it's cute for solo travellers who want to explore Melbourne.
Haydn
This place is like my second home. The staff and are facilities are so great I just have to keep coming back.
Sascha
I loved the massive windows in the rooms and the location was perfect.
Eric
Fantastic stay, easy check in and staff who were always happy to help and genuinely made guests feel welcomed!
Ryan
Maybe I am not cool enough…
Didn’t love the bed right up against the window on an elevated platform was kind of clumsy to get in and out of it. Without Blockout blinds there was a fair bit of light getting into the room, to alter the blinds You need to walk over the bed. No top sheet provided and the mattress was not terribly comfortable he was kind of soft around the edges.
The shared amenity concept is not a bad idea. I thought the room seemed particularly sparse. Perhaps I’m not collingwood cool enough to appreciate the room design but it felt like it was fairly pricey for what I would consider a super basic room. The bed was meant to be a queen bed. I would swear it was a double but I didn’t measure it.
The room key provided a QR code where you could go keyless. It requires you to download an app and it was not immediately obvious or a parent how to actually link that to your room key so I didn’t follow through. That process has been seamless in many other hotels for me.

Very good, private when needed and lots of social spaces.
Kathleen
Lovely stay, convenient, cost efficient, welcoming. The only 2 things that bothered me a little was the large ledge beside the bed made it a little more challenging to get in and out of bed and there was no PowerPoint in the bathroom (but it would be understandable if it was a safety concern with shower steam) But overall we loved it and have booked again to come back.

Overnight stay.
Very tiny room. We had to share with next room for kitchen. Price is steep and they treat me like it’s hostel where we need to share kitchen.
Very slow check in process.
Bathroom is glass door and can see everything through. May be tricky if you share room with friends instead of your partner.

Room was barely equipped, uncomfortable to maneuver as pushed against a wall, and no cleaning or towels service.
Room was barely equipped, uncomfortable to maneuver as pushed against a wall, and no cleaning or towels service.

The staff here are incredible and the rooms short comfy. Easy walking distance to shops and transport.
Thomas
Nice design and layout. Rooms are small but cosy, modern, and well furnished. The shared spaces are cool and give a bit of a hostel vibe.
Location is great, and close to many dining options. The parking can be a bit tricky to find at first, as it's not on the same street as the hotel.
Staff were very helpful and friendly.

This hotel was so Great and exceeded my expectation. Two rooms with kitchen was so great for our family eco friendly place with lots of amenities like kitchen, laundery rooms and nice terrasse. Great neighbourhood with plenty of dinning options with tram at 3 minutes walk. I would recommend this hotel!

Shady management. Left me without a place to stay.
Shocking Experience – Misleading Policies
I’ve stayed at this hotel three times previously with my dog, relying on their advertised pet-friendly amenities. However, during my recent stay, I was shocked to discover that their pet policy had changed in April—something that was never communicated to me during booking or check-in.
When my partner arrived late Friday with our dog, she was refused check-in. Despite my requests for an exception or a reasonable solution, staff repeatedly refused and offered no viable options. I even offered to pay a cleaning fee, but the only suggestion was a far more expensive alternative at another property.
This left me with no choice but to give the room to my partner while I had to make a makeshift bed and sleep in my office with my dog. The lack of transparency, refusal to accommodate, and overall treatment were unacceptable.
If your policy has changed, it must be communicated clearly on your website and booking platforms. I won’t be returning after this experience and would caution others to confirm policies before booking.
