The room sizes vary greatly and some are extremely small. The whole place needs n upgrade, pretty tired and average. The staff obviously feel this as well, service is lacking and they don't seem to care. The only thing this place has going for it is the location.... But not sure it stay again.

Hotel is very noisy especially with the large tour groups that seem to stay there, doors slamming and people in corridors carrying on not to mention being able to hear through the walls. Location isn't the best especially at night time when Kings Cross (10-15 min walk in the dark) is your only option. During the day Westfield Bondi Junction... More

We had a great stay at the Vibe Rushcutters Bay. We had Park view King rooms and they were a great size. Love the view and the location. Love the front desk staff - very helpful. Beds were firm and pillows not overstuffed - just the way I like them. It was very quiet but I suspect that was because... More

The accommodation is very comfortable and great hospitality by Vibe's staffs. Rooms are beautiful(the refurbished ones), bath room is normal. Great view by the rooftop swimming pool and well equipped gym. The Curve restaurant looks classy and a little pricey. Morning run is perfect at the park beside the hotel. 10 minutes walk to King Cross Station and various supermarkets.... More

Our first visit a month ago was okay but nothing to recommend it other than location. Our second visit ( once again chosen for location) was painful. The room was even smaller than the first visit, I referred to it as half the size of a postage stamp. There must be very little insulation in the building as noise was... More

If you don't want to stay in the middle of Sydney this hotel is a bit of a walk from Kings Cross Station. The room was good and it looks like the place was refurbished not too long ago. A dead give away was the shower over the bath which isn't our favourite bathroom scenario. There was nothing to rave... More

Stayed here for one night in Sydney. The hotel room was very clean and even though my room faced the road I could not here any traffic and slept well. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in walking distance to lots of great restaurants and bars.
