Lyf Bondi Junction Sydney
"This hotel is only 1 year old. It is located in the centre of Bondi Junction, an excellent location for shopping, places to eat, travel links to Sydney city centre, the airport and beaches.
It is very clean, modern and has a large communal kitchen, gym, laundry, ground floor courtyard, rooftop garden (with an amazing view) and a water dispenser on each floor for the convenience of the residents.
All rooms, although very compact, are identical having an ensuite shower with a King-size bed containing storage drawers underneath, tv, table and chair, microwave, fridge, kettle, safe, air conditioning and small cupboard for hanging clothes. Lights, curtains and blinds are controlled by a panel next to the bed.
The hotel also has an on-site restaurant Bonnibel (also open to the public) on the ground floor which is open all day. Residents opting for bed and breakfast are treated to a buffet-style breakfast with cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurt, hot foods, juices and hot drinks. A good amount of choice and quite tasty too.
The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful and the general atmosphere of the hotel was relaxed and welcoming.
The only downside that I found was the layout of the bed. It literally spanned the whole width of the room with no space to walk around it. This meant if two people shared the room, one of the guests would have to climb over the other to get into/out of the bed - not ideal."
