We were a bit disappointed upon check in as we weren't greeted for a few minutes because the staff were too busy chatting. Other than that all aspects of the hotel were great. Rooms were great- size, view, location and super clean! 5 minute walk from city centre and lots of restaurants/cafe/pub with in the waterfront precinct. Wave pool is... More

We stayed at Vibe Darwin Waterfront for three nights at the end of January, and absolutely loved it... Check in was friendly and efficient, our room was perfect, immaculately cleaned with a great view over the wave pool! We had cocktails by the pool one afternoon, a great snack in Curve restaurant one afternoon, and then wandered down to Fiddlers... More

Me and my girlfriend stayed here at the start of a 6 week whistle stop tour of Aussie. The hotel is in a great location right on the water with lots of nice bars and places to eat right on the doorstep. The pool is small but nice to cool off in and the food at 'the curve' bar downstairs... More

I stayed for two weeks and found my apartment room to be comfortable and just the right size for an 'away from home' extended stay. I wouldnt say the room cleaning service was great. Friendly but certainly need to spend more time cleaning. Let me put it this way. I wouldnt be drinking from the glass in the bathroom with... More

Nice room, miles of often un-air-conditioned corridors, but no complaints. The associated Curves restaurant is convenient, but has nothing else to recommend it. Try one of the many restaurants on Mitchell Street. More

From the moment of check in my brief stay at Vibe was disappointing from start to finish ... Staff were both unfriendly and unhelpful ... Room was appallingly small, quite literally had to climb over one end of the bed to get into the bathroom as there was not enough room to walk past it. Overpriced ... wouldn't stay there... More
