Was rated really high. Room was very ordinary. Don’t offer daily cleaning which is ok I only stayed the night but only 2 towels shower 2 times a day in Darwin heat but towel has to last me 4 showers. Check in was quick and nice guy but didn’t offer a lot of information. Overall I don’t think I’ll stay again when in Darwin

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.

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.

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
