lyf Collingwood Melbourne

Yes, the rooms are small but for a solo traveller it was perfect. Clean and compact, super comfy bed (I love a soft bed). Could log into my Netflix before bed and grab a tea and make a little snack in the kitchenette. There’s no gym but I took advantage of 5 yoga and reformer classes for $50 at Good Vibes. A 15 minute stroll- great way to start the morning. Some lovely delis in the local area too- Smith and Deli was a firm favourite. To run up and around the Tan track door to door was 8km for those who like to keep active whilst away. Didn’t use it, but F45 is also walking distance so the lack of gym definitely is’t an issue. Collingwood is out of the free tram zone so you will need to get a card. Staff are friendly and helpful and I enjoyed having a cup of tea and a chat when passing through.

This stay exceeded my expectations in every way. The property felt fresh and modern, and everything was clean from the moment I arrived. The room was thoughtfully designed, with a comfortable bed, great lighting, and everything I needed for a relaxing and hassle-free stay. The location was absolutely perfect. I loved being close to all the cafes, restaurants, and public transport. It made exploring the area so easy, and I always felt safe walking around. The overall vibe of the place was welcoming and well-curated, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient, clean, and stylish place to stay in Melbourne.

Such a cool space, reminds me of the modern, compact hotels in the USA that has all the features needed for a short or long stay. Definitely the kind of vibe young people or workers want for a hotel. Secure and reserved parking which has an elevator going straight to the rooms. A great space in the room with a TV. Kitchens and kitchenettes accessible any time of day (filtered water is such a bonus!). Amazing location, we will stay in Collingwood/Fitzroy area from now on over the CBD.

All the facilities of a hostel with the quality of a hotel. Clean and spacious. Price is spot on—perfectly balanced between hostel prices (private room) and hotel prices. Focus on sustainability. Free barista coffee each day when you become an ASR member (free). Free herbs from a awesome farmwall for cooking.

Lyf was really amazing! It was super clean, the people very friendly, the kitchen super big (and again, super clean), the small room we had was small but still very comfortable (very efficient use of space, in a way that even the small rooms feel spacious); they had a free herbs station; nice outdoor area; there even was free gym included (you can use one of the two gym cards of Lyf (if available) that allows you to go to this gym nearby for free); free coffee (fantastic cappuccino’s) every morning; laundry washing machines ($4 for a wash); and located in the heart of the best area of Melbourne: Fitzroy, this beautiful lively and artsy neighbourhood (which, may i add, is much much nicer (cuter, more pretty and friendlier) than the CBD!). Last but not least, sharing a small room with a double bed with my friend, Lyf was affordable (the same price as a private double bedroom at a hostel). This makes Lyf an amazing place where people of all ages can stay at, which gives it this very nice, friendly, comfortable vibe. All in all, Lyf was 10/10.
