We stayed at the Vibe for 8 nights in October 2007.

The room we had included a rollaway bed for our daughter, but was still large enough to accommodate us all without a squeeze. Only problem for us (we were on the first floor) is that we didn't get a bath, only a shower, which isn't great for a 3 year old. The decoration was looking a little tired and the floors were not vacuumed every day, but the bathroom was kept very clean.

The restaurant was a bit of a nightmare at breakfast time. Come down at about 8am and you struggle to get a table or near the buffet. A lot of Germans seem to stay in this hotel, but maybe they were there as part of a tour group.

The bar food was excellent. Modern, contemporary dishes - loved the green Thai curry, duck and risotto's. Also try the tapas dishes! All though this was a little more expensive, it was convinient for us and the price is not that bad when you consider where you are.

It is about a 1 mile walk to Sydney harbour, but there are many routes you can take, if you bear to the left/straight on when you come out of the hotel you can go through the shopping areas or if you bear slightly to the right, you can walk through the park areas, which is much more pleasant at rush hour.

Only problem we had was exchanging travellers cheques - the reception never had any money!

All in all, good value and no complaints.

I was travelling for business, & stayed for one night.

The Vibe is very clean, with modern furnishings. Decent sized rooms. Room service was good. Location is good. I'm sure tourists would find it quite convenient to all the tourist attractions.

I travel to Sydney occasionally, and I've been looking for a good hotel in Sydney that I would go back to. This is it!

The Vibe is well located within easy walking distance of most things in the CBD, and a short stroll to Central Station. It's clean and comfortable, and public areas are quite funky, but don't go expecting 4.5 star luxury. Aircon can be a little hard to get right, and except for the front desk the service is very hit and miss, but if you can get it as we did as a "secret" hotel for $126/night it's good value. We would have been disappointed with the standard if we'd paid rack rate of $330/night (does anyone actually pay this?)

My partner and I recently spent 3 nights at the Vibe. It is a great hotel , very clean, very spacious. The room we stayed in was on the top floor and was extremely big. We were given a room with two king sized beds. The staff were great and check in and check out was made very easy. The 24hour reception was very handy for us as we had to arrive and depart very early in the morning. The hotel was very close to the city and walking distance to darling harbour.

The bathroom was very big and clean which was great. The only problem we found was that the shower/bathtub could have been dangerous as it was a high step to get in and out especially when wet.

Our room didn't have a view unless you count the train tracks but this wasn't an issue and the sound of the trains and traffic could hardly be heard which was great.

We will definetly stay here again when we are in Sydney.
