Comfortable room with all the basics supplied

The room was filthy with massive amounts of mold in the bathroom and dust all over the benches. The reception staff took a scan of my credit card to store in their computer as well as my photo ID. There is no requirement for that information to be stored and it allows anyone with access to their computer to steal my details. Poor service disgusting room that was filthy. I took pictures of the state of teh room as it was so bad.

Decent hotel that looks like it has seen better days but is good for a few days. Small gym, laundry, parking, café/bottleshop and bar on-site
Good tram-connections nearby and walking distance to lots of amenities on Fitzroy street, St. Kilda beach and Albert Park

Room was quite small. Bathroom was tiny. Bed was comfortable enough. Very noisy when people were exiting early in the morning. We felt Crest on Park was a better hotel. We won't be staying at Crest on Barkly again.

Not the best hotel. A bit run down in need of some work. Shower terrible pressure. Soft pillows. Room wasnt clean clean. Windows so dirty couldnt see out of.
The hotel says at check in takes a holding fee for deposit incase of damages. We asked if money is taken off card to advoud card charges. We were told no its just a holding fee. Not true. Hotel took money off and hols it for 5 to 7 days !!!! Shocking in this day in age. To hold onto peoples money. When discussed at checkout , lady on reception said this is normal for hotels here. No its not we travled all around the world and have never had a hotel take extra money and keep it for a week after we leave!!! Wont be back and wouldnt recommend.

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.

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.

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!

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
