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.
