Brilliant place to stay and good value
Pros:

The staff were very helpful, and the gym and laundry were great and accessible from early morning until late evening. Being in our 60s, we were older than most of their clientele, but everybody treated us well, with respect and provided assistance to help us access transport links, etc, to facilitate our sightseeing. This hotel was a 5 minute walk from Bondi Junction Station, so central to everything. It was also very clean. We would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

The lifts could be a little temperamental when trying to swipe my access card to go up to my accommodation, but not a major concern.

Lokatie goed maar die slechte nachten op het bed en de te kleine kamer
Pros:

Lokatie, fijne douche

Cons:

Hele kleine kamer maar vooral het slechte bed dat aan 1 kant bol stond zodat je met je hoofd naar beneden viel (en je benen ook dus).

Sliepen er drie nachten en ondanks verzoek om kamer schoon te maken, werd dat niet gedaan. Ik zag meerdere mensen handdoeken halen bij de receptie.

Het ontbijt was echt onder de maat, geen beleg en voor verse koffie moet je betalen.

Such a beautiful place to stay, with lovely staff, amazing location and perfect rooms!
Pros:

I absolutely love how safe I feel when traveling to Sydney and staying at Lyf. The staff are so lovely and happy to help with anything! I love the shared kitchen and being able to cook dinner and then be able to chuck the dishes in the dishwasher down stairs! The gym is so convenient, as well as the laundry. Location is amazing- so close to the shops and a close walk to the beach! Public transport is super easy to get from Lyf as well!

Cons:

There’s nothing overly that I didn’t like! The only thing is it sometimes got really hot and humid in the hallways before going into your room & sometimes in the kitchen & gym. Asides from that, there’s nothing else to fault!
