Vibe Hotel Darwin Waterfront

The hotel has a great location and excellent breakfast buffet however it was an uncomfortable time for me as the reception area and corridors outside the rooms are scented with a fairly strong floral perfume. I mentioned it to reception and they advised there was nothing they could do as it was connected to the air conditioning. If you are sensitive to perfumes like me I would suggest finding somewhere else to stay. Another member of my group had the same issue. I don't think its necessary as the reception area is lovely without it. Angela from Sydney

Not a good experience, was supposed to check in at 3 but room wasn't ready, by 3:45 still not ready so they had to do some shuffling and give us a different room, although this was a painfully slow process. Requested a blanket rather than doona and they brought up a wafer thin stained single "blanket" for our king sized bed, eventually came back with some better options however they were also really stained. Ordered room service at 11pm (2 x toasted sandwiches) told about 15min, nearly an hour later after chasing them up a couple of lukewarm sandwiches arrived. Location was great but was really let down by the service.

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.
