The best thing about the Vibe Darwin Waterfront is the location and the staff. Otherwise, the hotel is tired and uncomfortable. Air conditioning noisy and very hard to set a comfortable temperature - generally too cold. Shower fitting over bath unstable and shower head sprays water on floor making for slippery floor safety hazard. Curtains overlooking the carpark well-worn and dirty. Readin chair next to bed very hard and uncomfortable.

The front desk staff were so lovely and helpful. Really appreciated the service and kindness, it was especially welcome after some issues with my flight. Great location and very quiet. I liked being able to walk to the Wharf for sunrise and there were many good restaurants just next door.

Great stay on the waterfront with incredible access to restaurants and bars. Hotel room and bed is comfortable and quiet, room service reasonably good. Only issue was shower was a bit old fashioned and on one of the days, room was not cleaned despite placing a request outside the room for clean. Amazing stay purely based on location alone and would recommend.

We had a staycation at the Vibe which was fantastic. The location was great as we were seeing a show at the Darwin Festival. We didn’t have to worry about the car (car park attached) Room service menu was great and so was the food. The room, location and friendly staff made it a great weekend for us. Thank you

The first room we had was lovely but smelt very musty. That was on the 4th floor. The next time we stayed our room was lovely and that was on the first floor. Breakfast was buffet and nice selection. Situated down on the Waterfront area with an easy walk into town. I would definitely stay here again but ask to change rooms if you end up with a musty one.

Our stay was made difficult as the room had a shower over a bath. My partner who is 82 could not use it. Staff were great and arranged for an accessible shower room but we had to wait for the relocation. The new room was spacious but too many mirrors that confused my patner

Obviously this property is under staffed, room was not ready upon arrival at advertised check in time & many others were also waiting long periods for rooms to be cleaned, No options were given to store luggage close to room as we were on a dead line time wise & delay was causing issues. Room & position is quite good, many food options & recreation at your door.

Older hotel in very good location near the waterfront. Small rooms and bathrooms. Checking in was ok for us but our friends with two other rooms had extreme difficulties. We arrive a few minutes early about 2:30 and their rooms weren’t ready. That’s ok because we were early and staff said they’d be ready by 3:00. But there was an IT issue and the system was down. During this time a fire alarm sounded, the FD responded. But it was a false alarm. Finally after waiting 3 hours our friends were given their room cards. We included breakfast with our reservation and it was goid.
