lyf Bondi Junction Sydney

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.

Stayed at the hotel for three nights on my own and I was really happy I chose this hotel. Really modern room with good lighting, big bed and a good shower. There was speakers in the ceiling were I played music from my phone, and a nice treat to stream movies on the tv in the evenings. Might be a bit of a hassle to crawl over each other in the bed if one is two persons, and also only room for one suitcase on the floor. Fridge and micro in the room as well as a shared kitchen. Gym and room terrace on the top floor. Grocery stores around the corner and close to public transportation.

Relatively new property in Bondi Junction - unbeatable location right by major transport hub and Westfield with a ton of shops and dining options. 15 minutes by bus to Bondi Beach or take a slow stroll! I traveled with a child and have plenty of room and could fit two adults as the room is extremely well-appointed and cleverly design with sufficient storage space. USB outlets and smart controls. Great amenities for those needing their regular gym work out and a great laundry room. Many well-designed public spaces to chill out including a great cafe at its lobby!

Fine og rene rom, praktisk løsninger for compact living! Elsket øverste etasje med vaskerom, treningsrom og rooftop! Ville helt klart bodd her igjen, og kunne lett bodd flere netter!

Laundry was very easy to use. The gym was really good and clean. Staff were very accommodating and the cafe and bar downstairs were really nice to get some work done in.

Great location, great facilities, clean and great for the price

The room was perfect for solo travel. The hotel itself is in a great location, close to the train station and buses that can quickly take you into the city or to the beach. Westfield is on your doorstep so super handy to get supplies or shopping, I found myself there most days. I stayed for 8 nights and the room was only cleaned once despite me leaving the sign on the door everyday to request cleaning and when the room was cleaned the cups were changed but the spoons were placed back in the drawer as there was remnants of yoghurt still there. I’d also slept with damp hair and the pillow looked almost mouldy by morning which was strange. I didn’t use the shared kitchen but as my room wasn’t cleaned I had food waste that needed disposing of so went to the kitchen to use the bin which was overflowing and attracting flies - more bins within the kitchen would be beneficial. The laundry room is an excellent addition however one machine was out of service, people don’t come back to collect their wash when it’s finished so leave it sat in the machine and the room is locked at 10pm so be careful as this happened while my clothes were in the dryer. Despite few minor issues above, I’d definitely stay here again due to location and comfort. Loved the black out blinds and control panel. Recommend signing up to be a member so you can have an early check in which was so beneficial coming off of 23 hours of travel.

small but so well-equipped room. I hate digital check inns however the receptionist without a moment of hesitation did it for me. restaurant was well priced.

New hotel with great facilities and excellent location next to a mall. Service is friendly and they gave us a lovely courtesy at check-in. Housekeeping could improve, as the room wasn’t cleaned after the third night and common areas need more attention. Overall very relaxed vibe—I’d happily stay again!

Lovely modern hotel, nice rooms, comfy beds, excellent communal areas and bar. Staff are top tier, excellent service.

Clean the room more often. 4 days is too far

Fint hotell men renligheten var inte den bästa. Var inte dammtorkat när vi kom. Var några fläckar på lakanet. Städar rummet var fjärde dag, men dök inte upp på fjärde dagen. När dom väll städade var det kvar sand på golv och hyllor.

The room was spotless and very cozy and very quiet. Loved the waterfall shower head. Front desk staff were welcoming and informative. The buffet breakfast was awesome. Would def stay here again.

Great location and fantastic staff at the reception. Only thing to improve is cleaning the room, had to ask two times before they came to clean room and it was the day before leaving. Apart from that it was great

Room was very clean a bit of a mix up about servicing room but overall very comfortable

Location and rooms were excellent, the reason I didn’t give it 5 was because they didn’t clean the rooms as often as they said they would. But other than that it was fantastic

The staff were kind and helpful, the hotel is well situated and has some amazing amenities. Unfortunately my room didn’t seem particularly clean, there was a lot of dust in the window corner, someone else’s hair on the floor and a dark mark on the bedsheet. The rug also seems to pick up a lot of hair / dust so if you walk across it bare foot you end up with stuff stuck on your foot … The room also wasnt sound proof like advertised. You could hear guests opening / closing their door and music from their room speaker

Le pulizie della camera sul vostro sito sono segnati giornalmente ma le fanno ogni quattro giorni, ma da noi le hanno fatte dopo aver protestato al quinto giorno, hanno cambiato le lenzuola e gli asciugamani ma non hanno tolto la polvere

There's a lot of talk about "the vibe" and "the fam"...but not a lot in terms of service delivery. I was there on a night when there was an event downstairs. The layout of the property means that the noise factor for inhouse guests is very loud. Less than ideal. Rooms are quite well fitted out but very compact, really only suitable for one person on a short term stay. Could be a lot better if the hotel wasn't so intent on trying to be the "cool kids on the block" and instead just run a hotel well.

Stayed at the hotel for three nights on my own and I was really happy I chose this hotel. Really modern room with good lighting, big bed and a good shower.

Vinduet kunne ikke lukkes i det første værelse, så vi blev rykket om aftenen, men uden et beklager eller opgradering. Det nye værelse kunne gardinet ikke åbnes, ingen toiletbørste. Værelset var dog rent og fint.

Room was spotless, modern and comfortable. Very intelligent design.

Good location in Bondi Junction. The room itself was very neat and the bed was so comfortable! The downside is the soundproofing between rooms. We were lucky and had neighbors for only two of our nights but you could hear a lot through the walls.

Breakfast available was awful. No point in providing food options if they are not nice. Some aspects of the room electronics were nice but the curtains already didn’t work and the lights were haphazard, so I really wonder how the fit out will age

The rooms are compact but so well designed. Loved it. The breakfast area has a great vibe and staff are wonderful.

This was a new hotel, and the staff seemed inexperienced. We had minor problems with the room ( broken shower handle, non-functional safe) that were quickly resolved. Public spaces were attractive, good. We were on 8th floor and experienced what was apparently mechanical noise at night, perhaps from rooftop equipment.

Cozy, modern room! So clean! ✨ But, no in-room coffee maker. 😩

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.

It was dice overall but we didn’t get our room cleaned after the second night of consistently asking we got it cleaned

Staff was incredible, room had a great ambiance, clean, and I had a lovely breakfast. Highly recommend staying here!

A short overnight stay good clean room comfortable bed great shower and very helpful stuff. All you need for a short break would recommend.

A modern hotel with a welcoming entrance and very friendly staff. After more than 24 hours of flights and layovers from Germany, we were warmly greeted by Tim and offered water. Tika took care of our luggage until check-in. We visited a nearby mall and were allowed to check in early since the room had been prepared. One evening, after arriving with soaked shoes due to bad weather, I was given paper to stuff them. The staff really tries to make guests feel welcome. The room was clean and practical, with storage under the bed. The layout made it a bit awkward to climb over a partner to get out of bed. USB sockets were very useful. The automatic blinds often moved up and down by themselves, which was distracting. The room had a view of a parking lot. The shower had good water pressure and warm water, though the glued-on shower gel holder fell one night. It was bothersome that there was no separate sink in the bathroom. Water dispensers near the elevator were handy, but no place was provided to set down glass bottles while filling. Free parking is available about a 15-minute walk away. Public transport is just five minutes on foot.

Lovely modern hotel, nice rooms, comfy beds, excellent communal areas and bar. Staff are top tier, excellent service.

ボンダイビーチへのアクセスもよく、シティへのアクセスも悪くありません。夜も騒音を気にすることなくゆっくりと眠ることができました。

Nice staff, very nice room. Perfect location.

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.

Location is excellent. Rooms are pretty tight but OK for short stays. 99% of staff were excellent, friendly, helpful. For our first week we had a served breakfast which was amazing, really good. Then, alas, they switched to a buffet which was a disaster. Cold food, cold plates and to be consumed in a cold and windy outside space. No cutlery, toaster not working, packaged coffee, it was a real let down. We mentioned it to several members of staff who apologised. It really left a sour taste. If the served breakfast continental throughout our stay I would have no problem giving it 5 stars but now it's a 3.

Ordered a hamburger the first night. not tasty. Gluten free bun fell apart in m yhands
