Lyf Collingwood is perfect for a Melbourne getaway in the inner suburbs. Central to restaurants and public transport in a safe location. The staff are very attentive and welcoming, and the rooms are very clean. Highly recommend!

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.
