Stayed 2 nights in Lyf Hotel. Super modern clean building, easy check in and good directions by staff (as it was our first time here) upon entry the blinds opened with an inviting view. The small is small but very adequate, everything you need for a holidays away. The bed is super comfy and both the air conditioning and exhaust fan in the bathroom are super quiet (at times I wasn’t even sure they were on). We visited the top floor, the view was amazing and the extra facilities were new and great (gym, laundry) Overall really happy with my money spent here, plus it’s in the central part of Bondi and everything is walkable.

This hotel’s compact, modern living concept suits me perfectly. I appreciated the freedom of having a small fridge and microwave in my room—it gave me a sense of independence and comfort. The shared kitchen on the first floor added a gentle communal touch, reminiscent of my college days, where saying hello to fellow travellers felt natural and warm. The design of the common areas, including the lobby and café, is minimalist yet vibrant, with splashes of colour from curated artwork that bring life and personality to the space. One of my favourite features was the gym on the 10th floor, where you can watch the sun rise and set over the distant ocean—a beautiful way to begin and end the day. That said, this place may not suit those who expect daily room servicing or large, spacious accommodations. It’s more for travellers who value privacy, thoughtful design, and a sense of quiet community. I’d happily recommend it to kindred spirits seeking a gentle, thoughtful urban stay.

New, clean and modern

The hotel is in a great position only 5 or mins walk from the bus/ train station. The rooms are very modern and clean but only serviced on the 4th day. The bed is up against the window so if there is a couple one person needs to climb over the bed. My room was on the main road so a bit of traffic noise along with water noises from the floor above. Would stay again, very helpful staff.

The property itself is beautiful and the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. Have stayed here before and loved it. This time, there was a technical glitch where I could access other rooms' steaming. At first, we thought others were accessing my profile, but it appears to be a technical issue with the casting. I hope they are able to fix it, I did not use the wifi or steaming after that at the risk of exposing my phone to others to access as well. There was also an issue with our room where the bathroom door was broken and unable to close, but we were given a new room straight away and the staff member was very helpful. Apart from the technical issues with the wifi, casting and streaming and then having to move rooms, it was a wonderful experience. Our second stay, and we've already booked in for a third. Hopefully everything is fixed by then!

Loved this place, reminded me of Medellin and their concrete playground. Only thing that could have been better is the hot water in the showers, it was hot then cold, then hot and cold again. Not a consistent warm flow.

A well appointed room which has great facilities, A new approach wastes no space or uses the space well. Some odd things like no Resturant on Sunday evenings, Good food Monday to Saturday. If you like shopping very close to Bondi Junction Westfield.
