Reviews for Vibe Hotel Darwin Waterfront
The Other Jim Hargrove
Our room lacked the king bed we thought we were getting, but at 2 in the morning we didn't complain. We asked for a late checkout before heading to a cruise at 1500. They quoted a price of $50/hour, clearly exorbitant. They did have a place to leave our bags after checking out for free. They have joined the herd by adding a fee for using a credit card, which I think should be the cost of doing business for a hotel. I've heard all the arguments and didn't find them compelling. We took advantage of the laundry. This is self serve and needs a supply of $1 coins. Fortunately Allisa was able to change my $10 note. One load took 8 of the coins for a wash and dry.

We recently stayed at this hotel and unfortunately our experience was far below expectations. Overall I would rate this hotel as appalling. The cleanliness of the room was certainly not up to standard, the bathroom was unpleasant and we certainly didn't sit on the couch. The carpeted corridors (filthy), the dirty walls, the damp smell in the corridors and rooms - nothing even vaguely met cleanliness expectations. In addition to which, Reception staff were surly and quietly mocked our verbal feedback. The only thing in this hotels favour is it's location.

The Vibe Hotel in Darwin offers nice rooms, but the true highlight is its fantastic location. While the building and rooms show their age, the views from my room were awesome. However, the bathroom could use some attention, as it’s starting to show signs of wear and could benefit from a thorough cleaning and refresh. What really sets this Vibe apart is its superb location. With a variety of dining and drinking options along the covered esplanade just below, it’s easy to unwind and enjoy the atmosphere. Plus, water sports are conveniently accessible, with a wave pool and water park right at the back door. The hotel is also just a short 10-minute walk from the CBD, making it a great base for exploring the area.

The rooms were poorly maintained and dirty. For a 10 night stay we were told our room was only cleaned every 4th day. No way to dispose of rubbish in between room cleans and many guests were forced to leave rubbish in the hallway for collection. Staff were often annoyed and unhelpful when we requested new towels, fresh sheets, mugs etc. Excellent location but will not be staying at the vibe for future trips to Darwin.

Stayed 2 nights, was very impressed with the location, so close to everything. The room is very dated and for the price was disappointed. The website mentions daily servicing of the rooms, when mentioned to reception staff, they said it’s only serviced when staying 3 days. If that’s the case, then say it. I understand that it is in prime location but service and updated rooms would go a long way.
