Vibe Hotel North Sydney - Milsons Point

Hotel staff was accomodating. Location not central, but convenient from nearby train and ferry connections. Good walking neighborhood (Kiribilli). Some rooms have great view,some face other buildings close by (we changed rooms). Internet rates seem high, even by AU standards. Overall, pretty good experience, however.

Walls are thin. Can hear the people next door. Hard to sleep because of the noise. Bathroom toilet bowl was dirty when I arrived. Phones didn't work. The fire alarm went off at 3 in the morning and had to evacuate hotel. I wouldn't stay there again.

Overall nice stay, loved that it is directly across from the train station, short walk to the ferry, breakfast on the harbor, and great views. The downstairs lobby and entrance is a welcoming ambiance (bathrooms are in need of a facelift) but all in all, a good place to stay with friendly staff. If paying for Wifi as I did (being from out of the country), […] it allows two devices ie; a phone and an iPad for example as opposed to just one so that was helpful. (Although I learned next time to get a SIM card in Ausi for wifi access everywhere, instead of just when in my hotel.) Read more

The hotel is located across the bridge from everything of interest, which means constant additional expense to train or ferry back and forth to the City. Also, minimal amenities, including no internet except at exorbitant fees (about $15 a day US) or a pathetic lobby rent-by-the-minute machine. The soap dish was broken when we moved in and was not fixed. […] Nice view over Lavender Harbor, but a balcony would have made a huge difference to a VERY small room. No place in the room to store luggage. All the dresser drawers were subject to coming off-track. Staff was cool to indifferent. I'd strongly advise you to book a hotel in Sydney. I tried to change my booking to the Vibe Hotel in the City, but they wouldn't do it. Read more

Great location (block away from the train station, a few blocks from a ferry stop, and walking distance to the opera house), nice room, good amenities, and great service and staff. Restaurant, bar, pool, and sauna on location. However, internet costs $25/day, which is strange considering it's free at most public places, cafes, and fast food places. […] Also, our hot water would go from hot to cold and back while taking a shower.

The hotel was ok. For the price I think I would rather spend a little bit more and look for a room on the other side of the bridge (Hilton or Shangri-La). There was no exercise room at the vibe. The bathrooms in this hotel are very small. My head was practically in the ceiling when I was trying to shower. With that being the case, when trying to wash […] my hair I practically had to drop down to my knees. Read more

Good location, but have to go over Harbour bridge to get into the city, but only takes extra 10 minutes and about $5. That is easy enough with the good location to trains. Not sure how prices compare whether that makes it worth the distance or not. Restaurant could use some work from service standpoint-staff not very attentive. Also, birds flying about […] outside distracted from eating. Nice view, but limited, of harbor. Good breakfast in morning. Great to have laundry room provided, as well as pool and internet in the lobby. Read more

It was fantastic. I was in a hotel with very nice staff, very helpful. The hotel is very well located, a 2 minutes walk from a train station, so easy to go from one point of the city to another. Bus stop very convenience. Restaurants very nice at the Kiribilli area across the street.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My stay at the Vibe was very pleasant . The main draw is the location , close to all transport , bus , train and ferry . The bridge is right beside the hotel , and there are a number of nearby restaurants which were very good. It is definately a hotel to stay in, particularly for short stays .

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great location. Very close to train line and within walking distance of many restaurants and cafes. Kirribilli is a lovely area to walk. The hotel is OK. Seems to be in need of some updating, but it's comfortable.

Genuine Expedia guest review

great location. Enjoyed breakfast (great buffet), access to train system which is must to get around city and helpfulness of staff.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

excellent location with water views , near the train stop and bridge. easy walk to rocks and ferry. best value we could find from shopping a bit near downtown. and there was a quick shower available until our room was ready (arrived on the redeye from LA).

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel is rather good, but they block 100$ on the card which I still can't recieve back. May be it is a bank problem, but... when you travel a lot and in every hotel some amount on your card is frozen for long time it's very uncomfortable.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel was in a great spot to everything. i just took a ferry to Circular Quay or walked across Harbor bridge every day to get to downtown Sydney, but never paid downtown Sydney prices. Great for a long stay. I stayed for 9 days and loved that the 7th floor had a washer and dryer free for guests. My only issue is that they charge for WiFi, but i […] soon found out that even the Starbucks in Sydney charges for WiFi. Read more

Very nice hotel. Room is big compare to another Sydney Hotel in CBD I stayed in, plus it's cheaper here, maybe because it's in North Sydney. Anyway, train station (Milsons Point) is just in front of hotel, so it's easy to go around. Need sound proofing though, we can hear the people in the other room talking.

Less than half what you will pay for similar quality hotel in Darling harbour or Downtown. The Vibe is conveniently located across the street from Milsons point train station, first stop across Harbour bridge. Luna Park (amusement park for kids) is next door along with Olympic pool and gym which Vibe guest can visit for free, which is a big plus! The […] Milsons Point/Luna Park ferry is adjacent. The ferry will take you over to Darling Harbour or on to Circular Quay but you'll need to buy tickets at the convenience store on Albert St., just up the street from the Hotel. Or you can stroll on over to the train station to get around town. There's a quality Italian resturaunt (but pricey) in the park next to Milsons point train station. There are a few sandwich shops and convenient stores nearby and of course, food at the Hotel. But generally speaking, not much quality grub nearby. That's probably the only real drawback. You might feel a bit isolated over there in N. Sydney, among the apartment/penthouse set and commuters, but to the seasoned traveler a few stops away via ferry or train is no biggie. Instead of spending $350 a night for a hotel room next door to a gazzilion tourists, save the extra $s for quality time on the town or around the harbour. Read more

A perfect location steps from the Milsons Point train station, one stop from the city. The staff was friendly and helpful. I won't consider staying anywhere else on my next visit to Sydney.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel bills itself as modern, but once you get upstairs the rooms are a little on the sad side. Paint needed touch-up, the shower leaked onto the floor. Towels were small and thin, the furniture was trying to be something it wasn't, and the mattress was at the end of its useful life. Breakfast was extra. Wi-fi was ridiculously expensive. Luckily […] both were available down the street. Overall, it did not contrast well with the B&B we had stayed in (also in Sydney) where the rates were $100/night less, with breakfast included and free wifi. Read more

I enjoyed my stay, however, as I was on a conference and couldn't walk too far with sore feet had to rely on the hotel for meals at lunch as well as a lot of others and found we could not get food in our lunch time frame. It was very annoying.

Very ordinary .Front desk not much help.one staff member on duty Friday night peak time. The room requires maintenance ,no volume on TV, The toilet continues to flush and is very noisy . Parking below is very difficult if you have a late family sedan. Hotel is not worth the extra.

Room was 515 with a lovely view over Lavendar bay , the free canapés in the bar fridaynight were not evident - but we went out so no problems . The corridors of the fith floor were a bit stale smelling , otherwise a nice room , great location and would go back .

We stayed here because the price was right and was cheaper than staying in the CBD. However it ended up costing the same probably due to the fairly high charges on virtually essential things. Internet was very expensive - far more expensive than it could possibly cost them to provide. For a frequent working traveler this is very annoying, although Australian […] hotels are generally very bad in this department. Rooms were fine and location is good. Read more

Excellent location. Literally across the road from train station. Luna Park and Olympic swimming pool just a couple of minutes walk down the road. Sydney Harbour Bridge walk also just a couple of minutes walk away. Nice eating places in the local vicinity and a couple of supermarkets. Hotel spacious and clean and staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast […] is buffet style with lots of variety. I would definitely stay here again. Read more

room was basic, and shower over bath was confusing to work, had to ask staff, room service was excellent and front desk staff were pretty good, luna park was only about 5 minutes walk so that was brilliant as i took my grand-daughter so she could easily walk to there. food was reasonably priced, kids menu was $12 and they got main, dessert and drink […] and that was heaps so very good value.they hold your credit card details and take $100 to hold in case you use the bar fridge but dont tell you, which they should, apart from that pretty good.

Overall a good hotel. Decent room with everything you need. Clean and comfortable. 1 minute from the train station. Despite this you can't hear the trains. We had breakfast included with our booking. Breakfast quality was decent enough but nothing special. The real frustration was the slow rate at which food was replenished - there was always something […] unavailable. The other let down was the hotel staff service, particularly in the restaurant. A good hotel for the price with a decent room let down by complacent staff. Read more

Very conveniently situated next to Sydney Harbour Bridge and railway station.Efficient service; friendly and helpful staff; good bar / dining facilities

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

All the fittings and condition of the room was worn down. You can hear other rooms when they go to the toilet or take a shower which I hated the most in the mornings. The hotel smell was bad as well when we got off the lift to get into the room it smelt like someone cooked their meals there. Room service was poor as the trays and the plates were dirty. […] Not a nice experience. Read more

I had to leave early in the morning and there was no-one at reception to complete my check-out. I had to ring the hotel to let them know I was waiting at the front counter. When somebody did come to reception (not the manager on duty) to assist me she seemed unfamiliar with the check-out process which was a bit of a concern.

Great Hotel in a great handy location, comfortable rooms and lovely staff - only thing i could fault is the lifts. 3 Lifts and at least a 5min wait ea time... maybe they were all on the top floor everytime we needed to use them? Also the check out on sunday morning was a 30min wait, but i guess that cant be helped with 40people checking out at the same […] time and two staff on. All in all a beautiful hotel. Read more
