Was clean

Very good and great value.

It was a nice place to stay

Easy to get from the hotel to the city by tram

The check in was easy, very friendly staff. Our room was clean, comfortable and had what we needed. We had a car, but walked to the restaurant area easily, approx 15 minute walk. Felt safe walking around the area. Public transport is right out the door. Its a great location. Its good value for money and would stay here again. The staff were all helpful and friendly.

Convenient to Alfred Hospital, quite walkable down to St Kilda, esplanade for dining.

Parking

Position good Property very average

Terrible room facilities & customer services - In bathroom, shower mixer and exhaust fan malfunction, towel rail loosened out and moulding around window sills. Complaints to front desk 2 times on Day 1 & 2, but no improvement and feedback. Eventually, strike for room changing on Day 3 with reception. No communication with different shifts of their front desk manager. STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED.

Big rooms

Stay was good. We arrived as a party of 4 but they only provided 2 towels - when asked to provide for more they informed us that the laundramat was closed and more towels couldn't be provided. Stay would definitely be a 4/5 rating if it weren't for that.

A lot of noise from the corridors can be heard in the room

Guys the no ventilation and lack of air circulation is a worry. No windows in rm 05? Corridor and rooms smell a bit like an old brothel ... (Let me know if it is!😉) Reception staff are awesome!

Great

The hotel called Crest on Barkly, is located in Melbourne, Australia and provides budget priced accomodation that is of a surprisingly high standard. This author reccomends travellers to stay at the hotel (Rahim,2023).

Rude staff

The property was convenient for where I needed to go, friendly staff

Easy check in, comfy bed,close to transport,5 minute walk to Fitzroy St,everything we needed for our stay,would recommend.Friendly staff

Nice to get away from flatmates and have a nice comfy and quite stay, really enjoyed it thanks

I love Crest on Barkly. It's my regular go to place to stay in Melbourne. The location is amazing. And very good value. I use the gym, washing facilities and Beans and Bottles. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

My husband and i liked the property aloy, it was clean and very nice

Searched for a room for 2 adults and 1 child(14) and the room only had 1 bed. The room was very small. The shower room door can’t be opened if someone is on the toilet. Paper thin walls with other guests making a lot of sexual noises at 6pm when we checked in and more noise again in the morning. Area surrounding felt very unsafe to walk around at night

The room was beautiful, service good. Had some issues with hot/cold water in the shower, hopefully has been sorted out.

Beds were fantastic, mattress was really think and soft. No microwave in the room

Very old & dirty. Very very small bathroom even the door wouldn’t close. Mattress squeaked & uncomfortable Tv had one channel that worked. Check in staff not interested. One guy in restaurant very helpful Wouldn’t stay here again or recommend

was disappointed had to pay extra for parking

parking easy.

Upon check in staff member was disinterested. Seemed like he would rather be anywhere else. Then there was no parking. Got told to park somewhere (in st kilda it’s mostly permit parking) and then go get my car at 6pm when an event finishes and then pay $20 to park my car. I had to park nearly a km away and carry my bags all that way. Room was okay, air conditioner didn’t work. Room was so hot. Other than that, it was okay. Served the purpose of a bed for the night.

Room for four people only had two towels, bath tap ran water out of it the whole time the shower head was on. Have been waiting four days and still don’t have my security deposit back after being told it would take 2 days. Tv in our room didn’t work. Price was good, room was clean, beds were comfortable.

Disclaimer: I am disabled and wheelchair-bound, and this review is in-line with the hotel knowing my requirements at the time of booking. First of all, disabled access was next to nil. My partner asked reception to allow us to use the elevator (disabled access was only via a lift in the carpark/basement, whereas reception was on the ground floor) so that I could come up to pay for the room (as it was in my name) - they would not allow her to do so until the room and deposit was fully paid. I was waiting alone for at least 20 minutes during this interval. The elevator could barely fit a collapsible self-propelled wheelchair, let alone anything beyond that. The room itself was BARELY wheelchair accessible. The front door did not stay open, and constantly swung back onto me. The bathroom door was wide enough... But the door could not open more than 50cm due to the bed obstructing it, making the accessibility obsolete. While there was a shower chair and assistive handles in there, access itself was minimal. I would not suggest this hotel again at all to anyone with any sort of mobility requirements.
