The staff at Vibe carlton are one tight team of eclectic individuals all striving to make a a stay here a relaxing and totally satisfying experience. The hotel is in a great position with easy tram access to the city, the pool and gym are just great but it is the staff that really made my 4 nights a treat.... More

The Vibe is a fine place to stay if you don't need the internet during your trip or have any issues requiring assistance from the front desk. Not good for business trips. Good value for money, rooms are clean and decently sized and reasonably priced. They're going for a hipster/young yuppie type vibe, music videos in the lobby, etc. It's... More

A well-situated place -- although despite its name, it's in Parkville not Carlton -- recently refurbished in the Vibe style. Spacious rooms (I stayed in two different ones in two visits over a week), bright colours, v nice pool and gym. Tram into CBD outside the door -- trip about 15 mins. Lovely parks in the immediate vicinity (hence Parkville)... More

Refurbed 50's style hotel- spacious, bright airy rooms. Clean roomy ensuites - with a tub which is a nice surprise. Sparse minibar facilities and the towels could be bigger otherwise good value for money. Bed is king size as promised- bit soft but comfortable. Plenty of off street parking which is fantastic. Only issue is slamming doors day and night... More

Our family of 4 stayed 4 nights & found our room quite comfortable. We had a simple room of 2 double beds, desk, TV, fridge, tea & coffee & bathroom with a bath & shower. It was perfect for all our needs. Its very close to the tram stop, so easy to get into the city. Car parking is at... More

Three stays varying between one and three nights over a week and a half in December 2011. King bed studio room on all occasions. Rooms: Modern amenities - nice to see they redesigned the rooms before the exterior - as happens at way too many hotels. Really comfortable bed. Air conditioning was set to a timer where it would alternate... More

As a solo traveler arriving late at night, this was a very poor experience. The noise from the pool area reverberated through my room. In addition the room smelled like cigarette smoke. Last but not least, my charger was conveniently 'not found' when I accidentally left it there. Will not be staying here again, and will not be recommending this... More

My room was a bit tired (curtain was threadbare in patches and the painting was ordinary), but clean and big. Staff were helpful. I only stayed one night but if you were to stay longer the balcony and pool would be an asset. More

Stayed on this hotel for one night and had a special price of $98. For the money I paid, I think this hotel is great. Yes it is not super-modern looking but it's clean and my room is pretty quiet and I slept very well that night. Location is quite good, not far from the city and you can just... More
