Hotels in Collingwood

"I absolutely loved my stay at Lyf Collingwood! The location was perfect - well connected to Melbourne CBD but lots of cool shops and nightlife in the immediate vicinity. I felt safe and secure as a solo female traveller. All of the team were so friendly and always greeted me with a smile! I particularly enjoyed the free coffee every day which was freshly brewed and could be made exactly how I like it. The room was spotless, and had a unique character, with plenty of storage space and a decent shower. Housekeeping was provided due to the length of my stay, which was much appreciated! I also loved the comprehensive and detailed online guides to the local area, and the interactive TV. The bonus of having access to a kitchenette, laundry facilities, and larger kitchen downstairs was a huge plus, and I loved how the hotel grows their own herbs for guests to cook with! The hotel was quite quiet, and most guests kept to themselves, but I imagine that the social aspect would be more prominent during peak season. Overall, excellent value for money, and a perfect blend between a chic hotel and high-end hostel."

"Check-in was smooth and  was graciously given a room even though we were early. The room was well equipped with a kitchenette and a washing machine. Do go up to Level 6 for a good view of the city.  Convenient location! The hotel is in the Fitzroy area. Walk out of the entrance, turn left and turn left will lead you to a busy street with eateries and supermarkets. There is a bus stop for Bus 86 that will take you into the heart of town in 20min."

"Wonderful stay. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Lots of room and a well equipped kitchen. Beds were super comfy, shower pressure was good. Location convenient and quiet. Would stay again."

"It's cheap to park in Melbourne. There are no external windows in the room, the air circulation is not good, and there is a smell in the room. I don't like it, but the price is okay. And there is breakfast, the taste is OK"

"Not recommended for those who value their personal data security and privacy. Not recommended for internati9nal travellers who may not have enough charge on their phones to complete 3 forms, then download and set up an app that requires constant internet and Bluetooth connections. Booking required multiple insecure methods of sharing credit card details and identification documents along with 2 forms to fill out with personal details and an app to download in order to gain access to the Building entrance, Elevator, and Apartment. None of this information was given to me prior to booking. I would not have stayed here if I had known the extent of insecure transmission of personal information and amount of admin and work required just to check in and stay one night. I work in this space and know the risks. Management is putting guests personal data at risks with the excessive documentation requests. FYI, requiring someone to send credit card PICTURES and ID pictures over email is completely insecure. This is bizarrely at odds with the excessive security to get into the building. The constant need to carry your phone everywhere or you'd be locked of the apartment or even the whole building was extremely stressful. In terms of the actual room, once I got in, the bed, kitchen, lounge and floors were clean but the toilet had not been cleaned in a long time. This was not nice. You could see parts under the rim had not been cleaned in years. Toilet had also been recently used and not flushed properly upon arrival. I did not take photos of any of this, it was too gross. I ended up buying paper cups as the glasses/cups as those supplied were not clean, tried to take a picture but it's hard to see. They were covered in fingerprints and fibres of some kind. The view was nice and loungeroom was great, study nook was extremely handy for remote work. Balcony tiles are moving and could be a tripping hazard. Laundry was well equipped but did not have time to use it."

"This is like a backpacker hotel, but there are also single rooms for singles. Because it's cheap, you can't expect too much of it. Although breakfast is included, its breakfast is difficult to swallow. You should prepare your own breakfast. Don't expect cheap hotels to be good, then this backpacker hotel is not bad. Because there are so few cheap hotels here. Overall I give 50 points."
