Is it a hostel or a hotel?
If this were classified as a hostel for backpackers then it would be five-star. If it were a hotel, however, it would have some surprising weaknesses. The building seems like an old 1960s office block, with wind-swept open concrete stairwells at the back, but it has been done up rather well, with a startling lime green arch across the front and a large and welcoming reception area with helpful and friendly staff. My double bedroom was huge and really comfortably furnished, but the bathroom was very small and basic. The WiFi was a mystery and I never succeeded in getting it to work. The breakfast buffet was crude and the pastries awful. The location on Royal Parade is beautiful but a long way from anywhere except the two Universities. There is a tram stop nearby with a good service into the city centre.

Academic convenience at Melbourne/ Monash unis
I really enjoyed being here because the staff are so friendly and genuinely helpful!. Thanks everyone. I would recommend this place for its convenient location to Melbourne Uni, and Monash Uni. Stayed 4 nights -s quiet enough to work on my laptop, any gripes I had were quickly sorted.I was given a quieter room when I asked for it ( poolside) They make great coffee and have a sandwich bar as well as a restaurant. No 19 Tram right out the front that goes straight to Flinders station so if you have kids you can visit the aquarium etc easily (8 minutes on tram to Flinders) 5 minutes walk to the zoo ( just around the corner. Hotel Pool is actually as large as photos make it look with a nice little gym and spa. 5 minute taxi ride to Lygon street restaurants in Carlton ( fed the kids pasta) - hey- and the Melba Hall is down the road and so is the Union Theatre! (4 minutes on tram) I will certainly stay here again. For a single traveller, especially, this place is an excellent balance of value, cleanliness, safety and good location. Brunswick 4 minutes by tram going north. Older person- restricted mobility bathroom on ground floor such a nice touch too. Well Done!

OK hotel but middle of nowhere
I can't complain about the service or the actual hotel itself - just hated the location. Was there on business and at the end of a long day felt quite stranded - feels like a long walk to anything - no nearby restaurants etc - maybe if you had a hire care etc then worth it. Certainly quiet as its opposite a large park

Above and Beyond
My partner and I have been regular guests at Vibe Hotel Carlton for 7 years when we are in Melbourne on business. We have tried other nearby motels but were drawn back to the Vibe Carlton for several reasons. Price. Value for money. Facilities. Friendly staff who have always gone beyond our expectations to meet our needs and ensure a comfortable stay. Comfy beds and pillows. Close proximity & easy access to City & Airport. Walking distance to excellent dining experiences on Sydney Rd.

so so
we stayed there for 3 nights. The staff at front desk were friendly. The room was a good size however the shower leaked water all over the bathroom floor. The housekeeping did not clear away the dirty dishes from room service. If you want to park your car they charge $10 a day for guests :( the waitress at breakfast was in a bad mood and was loudly smashing down the plates as she cleared them from table to table. The meals are quite average. The gym treadmill was out of order also. However the room was clean and the bed was comfy but $15 to hire a movie is a bit pricey. The hotel is in a very good location, right on a tram line and opposite Princes Park which is nice. So this hotel has it's good points and bad points.
