What guests think

At Vibe Hotel Canberra, travellers praise the easy walk-to-terminal location and generally friendly staff, finding it a convenient stop before or after flights, with modern public spaces that feel welcoming for short stays and quick business trips.

Rooms are typically quiet and spacious, though recurring comments note an open-plan bathroom with limited privacy, some hard mattresses, and occasional air-conditioning problems or worn fixtures. Cleanliness ranges from spotless rooms to lapses such as dusty carpets, unclean bathrooms, and inconsistent housekeeping or maintenance follow‑through. On-site dining and breakfast can be enjoyable, but menus are sometimes limited, pricing or hours confuse some guests, and on-site parking is paid and has height restrictions. Best for airport-focused stays where convenience matters most.

Clean and modern and convenient to Airport (naturally). Dining/Atrium area is light and airy and a nice place to hang out. Enjoyed ease of casting content off phone to TV so we could easily watch favourite shows.

We stay at the Vibe regularly before early morning flights. Lovely (upgraded) large room because of my Expedia status. Excellent parking. Restaurant is nice, but bit too bright and always seems to be a "pot-luck" affair. Eg, entrees & main brought out together, previous long waits, wrong plates, etc. My wife and I look at each other and say "they just don't get it"!! Training needed.

For such a new and modern facility the room was terribly kept. The carpets looked as if they had not been vacuumed in a month with hair and dust all over them. The shower/toilet doors had dust clinging to them around all the edges that was 5mm thick in places. The shower head was half broken and worn out. Bathroom door was even off it’s track. Outside the room the rest of the place was fairly neat and tidy.

The bathroom door did not close without brut force. The basin had toothpaste on the tiles around the basin from a previous guest, the mirror was dusty and dirty. When I advised the front desk on check out the staff member was not at all interested. The experience with checkin staff, bar staff and breakfast staff was very good.

The hotel itself was excellent. Location was great for people catching early flights from the airport like us. The room above us was noisy though so had to deduct one star for that as it was difficult for us to sleep (much- needed before the early flight).

The room had a very strange layout with a large gap in the dividing wall between bathroom and bedroom. This meant that noise and light bled into the bedroom whenever the bathroom was used during the night. Also no privacy when in bathroom (we were a family staying together). Staffing levels were very low and many staff seemed tired and disinterested - some with inadequate English.

Being an airport hotel, being close to the airport is where the convenience ends. There's nothing else within walking distance except a service station. Room service was frustrating, with no one answering the phone and the QR code website not giving any food options. Otherwise the food was very good in the restaurant. And I can't get past the bathroom design in the room. Sliding walls so it can be opened up? Why? Bathrooms are meant to be private. You can hear EVERYTHING your companions are doing in the bathroom when the walls are closed. It's a ridiculous trend.

Upon arriving for a 3pm check in we were told that the room was not ready. At 3;50pm after approaching the desk twice finally the room was available. I was the host of a major conference being held in Canberra and on our website had suggested the Vibe as a accomodation option. Sadly I now regret that decision and will not be doing this in 2026. Courtney at the desk done her best but the system was in chaos. We were provided with a free drink at the bar (Tea/Coffee) which was disappointing considering I have been a customer at the Vibe since 2019. Overall it seemed to me and other guests of our conference that management was poor and untrustworthy for future events. If you are planning on booking here be careful not to let it reflect your organisation as it did mine.

In a 4 night stay, they attend to the room once. Room service is non-existent, the beds are hard, there is no bin in the bathroom, the room has dust almost everywhere, the staff were not very welcoming. I would not recommend staying here. There are also very limited food options at the restaurant and it closes early.

To arrive early and be told to check in early will be an additional charge. Every other hotel we have stayed in at Canberra, are more than happy to check us in early if there is a room available ( this is called creating a good customer experience, much like upgrading passengers on a flight). There was no mattress protector on the bed. It took the chef 15 minutes and a dozen eggs to make me three fried eggs because he kept burning them. The attitude of the lady at reception was terrible.

Incredibly long waits for every aspect of service. From check-in, parking, room service, dining and occasional services. Staff say they understand when you provide feedback, but never offer an apology for their wrongdoing or shortcomings. Their only comeback is that you are not my boss.

Stayed here two years ago and it was great. This time awful. Room service doesn’t answer the phone so you can’t order anything. There is no room service breakfast option only the expensive buffet you have to leave your room for. They barely had any dinner options on a long weekend because they clearly didn’t want to pay their staff properly to run the restaurant. Our Phone and tv both didn’t work in first room so we had to move rooms which was very inconvenient and wasted our time. It was meant to be a getaway from the kids with nice restaurant food we couldn’t have and too many room issues. They don’t seem to care either. No apologies or compensation for anything. Won’t be back.

We are regulars at this hotel. Very convenient before a flight. But they lost the plot this time. Our room was open and cleaning check not completed. The restaurant/bar was in chaos. Our drink order was lost and the meal took over 45 mins to arrive. They just could not handle the number of people. Then the next morning my wife went to have a shower. Nothing! no water for over an hour. Otherwise the room and facilities were excellent. We hope they have sorted it out before our next visit! Felt like they had ssues with number of staff and staff training

Location

Exceptional for airport access, with a short and easy walk to the terminal and straightforward links to the city. Immediate surroundings offer little to do, and rideshare pickup can be affected by airport restrictions.

Convenient location. Three concerns. Firstly we arrived around 9.30 pm and checked in. No initial concerns but in our room we were thirsty and found 2 bottles of water. Were they free or pay? No notices informing but a bar code more info re room. Scanned it but general website info. Tried ring reception twice, no response. Upon checkout we learned $6 each! Secondly the room bedhead fabric was worn out in patches looking very daggy and just not welcoming. Finally breakfast. Nothing was said at check-in at all. We learned you are charged more for breakfast if you don’t book night before. That option may have been nice to mention.

Arrived late on a night flight, in room dining menu only had 4 options (no hot food) and nothing else open around. When we checked in we opted for breakfast but wasn't given a time. Arrived at 9:30am to find everything packed up, but were allowed to quickly grab a plateful of food. Overall the location is very convenient to canberra airport but they need to work on their night menu and communicating breakfast hours to guests.

It’s attached to the airport so was delighted that it was walkable and easy to get to after our flight was very delayed. Arrived early hours of the morning to a nice and clean room. Reception staff were lovely, and I received a really nice welcome gift. We had breakfast included within the total price of the room and that was the only thing that was a bit of a let down. Expedia state that breakfast finishes at 10:00am. Because of delayed arrival we decided to have a bit of a sleep in and have a later breakfast. Luckily we arrived just in time (9:20am, thinking we had a good 40 mins) however, were advised that breakfast finished at 9:30. They asked if we still wanted to have breakfast. We were like yeah, we’ve already paid for it. And the staff were packing everything up around us. My only recommendation is to update details to avoid unnecessary confusion. Other than that I would stay again.
