A nice enough hotel, and lovely views over the waterfront. Stayed as part of a busy conference, diappointed that no feather pillow alternatives. Bathroom was small and the fan was incredibly noisy, to the point that it was impossible to relax in the bath. The housekeeping was only so-so, had to chase the maid one morning to get some replacement... More

This hotel is located on the new Darwin waterfront, developed out of old port land in the last three or four years. The ambience of the waterfront is great and interesting, and captures the tropical ambience and relaxed way of living very well. The views were really interesting and relaxing. The hotel room was an apartment and well set out... More

The location here is great - conference center (which is excellent), wave pool (for the inner child coming out) and the walkway to central Darwin nightlife and shops. The rooms are average but have all you would need except the minibar is overpriced and the shops in the immediate vicinity are limited. Buy drinks and snacks at a supermarket in... More

A great location on the vibrant Darwin waterfront! A nice walk or short taxi into town. Clean and attractive rooms. On our first stay at vibe in march we found the buffet breakfast a bit cold and reported this to the head waiter. I mentioned this as feedback when we were checking out too. I was really impressed with the... More

When we arrived, not only was a cot in the room, but they had also put a microwave for bottle heating and sterilising! (Lucky I brought my own cot... More

Very attractive hotel with very comfortable well designed rooms. Would have had a superb view of the harbour and coast if it hadn't been for the cyclone! Would love to have the opportunity to return and sample it properly. Restaurant is a bit canteen like but the food was very good and the service friendly. A good place to catch... More

Four days for a conference. Very central and easy walking distance to all of the facilities in central Darwin. A quite new building on the new waterfront area. Staff were good, certainly making an effort to do the right thing but lack of training or support was very obvious. Staff is a problem in Darwin anyway but no excuse for... More
