    Pillows are all high profile. It would be nice to have a low profile option. With the current curtains, some light gets it, full block-out curtains would be great too.

    Location is great, nice and comfortable room.

    The room was clean, but there was a lot of hair in the bed and window sill that defiantly was not mine. It’s a bit noisey too, could hear people on the corridors and some noise from the room next door

    Great location, very basic and small but has a cool vibe.

    my one issue is its great that they offer. a guest one free coffee a day, but to wait. in line and then the person at the desk has to jump on computer to locate the guest and then make the coffee..is a bit absurd, just make it easier..too corporate to get a coffee. also when a guest does not like a room and asks to change and it becomes an issue and you are trying to charge me an extra 20 or 30 for switching rooms stating there was something in the garbage that housekeeping had to take care of, is not ok...that is my time, that is now this review and that is not ok. The upper management was great but it should not have had to escalate to that as I would like to stay here again and the overall concept is great but needs working out in the kinks of corporate.

    the location and idea of this hotel is great. It meets todays travelers , there is a shared kitchen, washer room, its hip and in a great artistic area. The rooms are fine--

    Nothing. Rooms are small but thoughtfully designed. Unless you’re planning to spend a lot of time in your room during the day, the small size isn’t an issue and more than made up for by the value for money.

    Clean and comfortable rooms, good shared facilities (kitchen, laundry, lounge) and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Great value for money in one of the liveliest areas of Melbourne.

    Great boutique hotel, really like the environmentally friendly design and feel to it. Plants everywhere, low lighting where it counts. Free clothes washing and ironing facilities. Close to Smith Street and the nightlife, lots of good shopping.

    See, through glass bathroom doors, there is not much privacy when travelling with Sister lol. Plus, I had to climb over her to get to bed. It's not good if you have mobility issues. Luckily, I don't myself No fridge in rooms or kettle. I like tea in the morning in my room. Only share kitchen available Otherwise, good stay I would stay again

    The location is great close to cafes and public transport Cafe next door is great Rooms very clean Staff are very helpful and friendly Able to leave suit cases while attending a threatre show was fantastic on check out Very cool and modern hotel

    Really, there is nothing negative I'd comment on.

    You can't go past the value for money this property offers. The rooms are small but very well-appointed and modern - perfect for a short trip. Excellent facilities with free (good) coffee, kitchens, meeting rooms, ample desk and charging stations, bikes, and free wifi. Staff are particularly friendly.

    Can be a little tricky to get the sleeping temperature right at night as the doona is so thick and warm.

    Have stayed here for work trips on a few occasions now and can't fault Lyf - the beds are comfortable, the rooms have everything you need, the showers are great and the communal kitchen area with filtered water is handy.

    Bed was right against the wall and window and no room to get into bed comfortably. Hardly no room for bags. Bathroom was see-through so was very awkward getting ready with friends. Could see everything! Iron was downstairs - had shower and had to put clothes on to go downstairs and then back to room to get dressed. Parking was $35 for one night! Sooooo expensive.

    Very beautiful rooms but super small. Great communal areas. Great welcoming staff. Great for a one night stay as long as you don’t want to hang out in the room. Nowhere to sit!

    There wasn’t much that I didn’t like this but the only thing I would probably say is that there was no coffee facilities

    Overall, the whole property was amazing value for money. The lady that served us that night was so good by far the best Service I’ve had in a long long long time.

    Not really a negative but for longer term stay I would book a larger room but that is only a minor thing to bear in mind when planning your stay. If you do need secure parking you do need to request it at the time of booking, again not a negative.

    We booked the bed only room its super clean, and has a small bathroom. These rooms are compact but well designed to maximise the available space. We only needed an overnight stop and having secure underground gated parking is great peace of mind. There is a fantastic cafe next door which is a great stop for breakfast.
