“Only one night and a very poor experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

Upon arriving for a one night stay, we were greeted with a very low standard of service which unfortunately continued throughout the next 24 hours. We checked into our allocated room ($220) and found that it was not only small and pokey, it was also a disabled room. The shower was surrounded by a short curtain and all the shower water lapped around the entire bathroom floor. I would be on the toilet after having a shower an hour before and have my own shower water at my feet. Disgusting. Then there was no TV remote for the small LCD TV. After the wedding we attended, we hopped into bed to find that the 'standard room' bed was in fact two beds thrown together and could feel the gap between the two beds. Breakfast the next morning was appalling, particularly the eggs and bacon. I am no chef and I could have easily done better. I have stayed at Vibe hotels before and this was a rude shock. The only good thing was its location, next to a lovely park and waterfront.

Room Tip: Ask specifically for a non-disabled room - I didn't think that as a non-disabled person I would...

“Great City Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We booked a deal on LastMinute.com for 5 nights including New Years Eve. The money we paid was a superb deal and being a 10 minute walk to the trains and 10 minute ride to the main city attractions was not a problem at all. Bondi is only 1 stop away by train which was handy too! I'd say the location was great. The room was comfortable and very clean. Only problem we had was ending up with a room near the lifts - you do hear everyone get in and out! Roof top pool was a welcome surprise as we had no idea it was there! I'd happily stay here again.

“Beautiful Harbour One Side/Kings Cross the Other Side”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and teh Checkin staff were friendly. The Room was a typical Hotel room with nothing really to stand out. The Queens bed I had was two beds pushed together with the usual crack in the middle. Teh Windows look out on apartments across teh road and unless you have the blind screen down peope can fully see in to you room if they happen to look.

Breakfasts were you usual Bain Maree with Bacon Scrambled Eggs, Fresh Fruit etc. they also catered for the Japanese with Miso Soup. Nice to sit outside on the terrace and eat breakfast there.

Five hundred metres one way is a great park where there is heaps of activity both morning and night. Joggers Persaonal Fitness Trainers. Dogs on the loose having fun etc. Rushcutters harbour is beautiful to walk by and you can see lots of boats and yachts and dream. Theer also is a nice cafe there in teh park as well.

Walking up the Hill from teh Hotel takes you to Kings Cross which has afew swanky restaurants along with a lot of seedy bars.

Overall if you want easy access to the city, like walking in the park it maybe the hotel for you.

Room Tip: Select Rooms ending in teh following numbers 45 to 55 and 01 to 08. They don't have a great vie...

“Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

We stayed here because it was the only hotel in SYD that was not charging in excess of $600/night for New Years Eve. They required a few night minimum nonetheless. The hotel is a bit out of the way, but there is a gorgeous park that surrounds it. The staff was somewhat clueless and took a lengthy period of time to fulfill requests. The rooms are no frills but clean, though I didn't like the fact that you had to use your room key to keep the lights on in the room. Very easy to leave your room with your key still inside. They offered a breakfast buffet which was nice & convenient. You can also inquire on getting coupons to lower the price as it's a bit pricey for one person. The pool deck was a nice touch, though very minimal lounge chairs (apx 4). I think the hotel needs a face lift. The lobby/lounge area is dark and stagnant. The neighborhood is drab with nothing going on. Overall, clean rooms, but would probably stay elsewhere in the future.

“Great hotel for the price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I stayed here for my first visit to Sydney. I found this hotel to be in a great location for a great price. It's just one stop from the Sydney Opera House (if you want to walk) or 2 stops if you don't want to walk. I used to take the train to the Opera House in the mornings to run by the water and it was BEAUTIFUL. The staff were very friendly as well and the rooms were clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
