Life House, Collins Park

I loved the design and decor in the room and the lobby. Clean hotel and friendly staff!

The hotel is a great example of how Instagram affect us. The pictures and reviews on this newly opened property was as good as facetuned selfies. In real life this place is nothing then old poorly and Pinterest like with-no-sense-of-style renovated building. It was opened few months ago but looks like years, with terribly dirty carpet and walls in public areas. It smells like flooded basement everywhere! From the very beginning - self-checkin stage we were more and more disappointed. When we asked the reception lady about the breakfast that was included to our stay she decided to assume that it is not and didn't bother us with any information. Breakfast was ridiculous. Its A LA CARTE - fancy hah? You can have tap water, average coffee and one position. Avo toast was burnt. They cut melon with onion knife. We had Deluxe room with a view on laundry dock and hotel staff smoking right in front of it. So the smell hit us badly. Very Deluxe! The room was small and poorly clean: with freshly shaved hair from previous guest on the floor, dirty towels delivered every day and smelly empty bottle for tap water. There were literally no light in the room except 2 weak spots. Also there is no soundproof in the rooms so be ready to hear other guest returning to their rooms in the middle of the night. I was watching The Great British Baking show on max volume till 2 AM so I'm not a saint either. The only good thing about the room was the bed. it was comfortable enough.
