Booked a good deal for the hotel -- well so I thought - which was AU $125 a night - for 2 nights - through Rates To Go. The good thing is that I didn't want a city hotel as I wanted parking for my rental car - the carpark is behind the hotel and is great and seems like... more

We stayed for a weekend in August. Nice staff. Friendly. Great service. Respected our privacy. Felt room rates were too pricy though. Menu is very limited. We have stayed on a number of occasions & each time the Menu has not changed. It's also too pricy for the serving sizes you get. The entree servings are more like an appetiser.... more

Generally, a pretty basic hotel. Our room faced Parkville Road so it was pretty noisy the first couple of nights. The restaurant menu is pretty limited and we ate at the restaurant on one night only. The pool was in terrible condition and looked as though there was fungus growing at the bottom. There was also stuff floating in the... more

My husband and I stayed overnight 8/11/07. The staff were friendly and helpful, room was clean and nicely decorated, with a balcony overlooking the pool area. The tramstop was outside the hotel and made travel to the city (5 - 10 mins) very easy. Restaurant menu was simple but adequate. Cafe made great coffee. Excellent night out, resonable price and... more

We booked there as a treat for our wedding anniversary and my birthday. We can't aford to do this often so the night was special for us. When we arrived, a special event was in full swing in their restaurant. It was so noisy the receptionist was struggling to communicate with us. This was OK we thought, as we presumed... more

I recently stayed at the Vibe Carlton in Parkville, Melbourne. From 29th to the 30th of August. Firstly, this hotel is noisy! I can see that it was a makeover of some really dumpy hotel from the seventies, but putting trendy furniture and new paint does not hide the lousy sound insulation from the balcony doors and the slamming of... more

I stayed in room 114, which is just behind reception, I could occassionally hear the person at reception, but it wasn't a problem during the night. The room was $109 and was in good condition with a ground floor view of the pool. I had both dinner and breakfast at the Vibe and the food was very nice, especially the... more

This was the third time we had booked this hotel and while our initial visit was fantastic, the standards have plumetted. We booked (and paid for) a 'spa room' only to be told on check-in that we were to be 'downgraded' to a normal room. The excuse was that spa rooms were given on a 'subject to availability' basis. When... more

I stayed here back in May for one night. I found it for $95 on Jetstars website, and grabbed it while I could. Luckily we decided to hire a car, as it would have been difficult getting around, even though the tram goes directly pass the hotel. We were given a room on the 2nd floor, but when we walked... more
