Reviews for Crest On Barkly

I stayed there for 2 nights and on the first night was bitten excessively by what I can only assume was bed bugs and the room stunk of cigarettes. I told reception about it and they promised me that they will send housekeeping to do a clean up. I got back the following day after a long and they assured me that they did a thorough cleaning, but it was worse than the night before that I had to slather myself in tea tree oil to repel the bugs and mask the smell. They didn't seem to have done anything at all. I opened up the microwave the morning I was leaving to reheat a coffee and then microwave was very dirty, meaning it was never cleaned before I checked in. This place is a health hazard. I asked them to atleast help me open a window, but nothing was done and their tv remote wasn't working and nothing was done about it either. Attached are some of photos of bedbug bites from my hands, I've got them all over my hands and and body especially around my ankles and they truly hurt and keep swelling up.

A clean budget friendly hotel located less than 1 kilometres from the National Theatre. There is on site parking, some are open air at the back of the building, some are under the building. Some of the designated parking spots under the building are near impossible to get into in a medium size car. My room was small, but had everything required for a one night stay. The shower was very good, Free toiletries, new towels and a hair dryer. Very poor Optus mobile coverage in the room but I believe free Wi-Fi was available but I didn't try to access it.

Highly not recommended there!!!This was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I’ve never had anything like this happen to me before. I stayed for two nights, but on the second day, everything I left in my room was gone. None of it was even valuable, so I don’t think it was a thief. I asked housekeeping, but she just shook her head. Then I went to the manager, and he told me to send an email and said I’d get a response in a few days. Well, it’s been over ten days, and I’ve heard nothing. I’m never staying here again.

Saw some of the bad reviews here and was a little worried but I had a good stay, no complaints. Note that there is both a service apartment and a hotel in two separate buildings, and I get the feeling a lot of the bad reviews are from the apartment side. The hotel was totally fine for the most part. Obviously YMMV + Clean rooms, house keeping was on top of it every day + Friendly reception + Shower was piping hot and had good pressure + I was worried about the deposit situation after reading reviews, but the card transaction for my deposit was cancelled after I checked out exactly as the staff said. + Right in front of tram stop to city - The dryers were broken in the laundry. I didnt need it but it might annoy you if you do. - The walls were a bit thin and you could hear noise from the next room one of the nights - Rooms do show their age a bit Overall I have no complaints. If they were listed as a 3 star hotel/motel, I would have given them a 5 star review; good location, tidy, good price, has most things you need. But... If you are listed as a 4 star hotel, that is the standard you will be judged against, and in that respect they do fall short, hence the 4 star rating.

Extremely Disappointing Experience Despite being owed a $300 deposit refund, it has not been returned after over a week. When I contacted the hotel just now to inquire about the matter, I was met with an astonishing lack of professionalism. The receptionist refused to check whether the refund had been initiated and adamantly claimed the hotel "never makes mistakes." When I requested to speak with a manager, he refused, declined to provide his name, and abruptly ended the call. Such dismissive and unprofessional behavior is entirely unacceptable, particularly in an establishment that claims to provide high-quality service. Additionally, the booking process is unnecessarily inconvenient. Guests are required to drive to a separate location—approximately five minutes away—to collect the keys. This lack of consideration for guest convenience further reflects poorly on the hotel's operations. I strongly advise potential guests to reconsider before booking with this hotel. My experience has left me with no confidence in their ability to provide the level of service one would expect from a reputable establishment.
