I needed to book a room for six nights at short notice, while the Australian Open was on and The Crest appeared to be the best value for money to meet my needs. I was very pleased with the accommodation/facilities/comfort/and assistance from staff. Hotel is very close to buses/trams/eating places. The bed was great! The outside cafe, downstairs but part of The Crest was great - consistently best poached eggs I've ever had (so good I had then for five days!!). Some elements of The Crest are a bit dated, being an older hotel, however, that is easily overlooked given the reasonable pricing. I would stay again.

Has everything you could need and very well priced which makes it even better for value. Staff are extremely accommodating and I’ve stayed a few times now and they have made sure I’ve had a great stay.

The gate access to the back paid car parking is a pain if staff are busy, don’t get me wrong they are doing the best they can with attending to guests needs and also juggling the gate access, I feel as though the management should invest in an automated gate or even a sliding roller gate just to make it easier, when travelling alone and windy or rainy it’s not ideal. Only fault I can pick apart.

was upgraded to a family room so lots of space. so plenty of bathroom items,, good shower pressure and very quiet room at back. finally a great block out curtain as well. had late check in which went smooth. wifi worked well. comfortable beds.

if anything ,think 10am check out a bit early although was given a 11am check out which was good.

Lovely staff and a nice little coffee shop/bottle shop underneath. Very comfortable beds and pillows.

Rooms are a bit tired and need an update. Very difficult to close the window and as there was no screen, little flies came in. Tiny bathroom. Scratch on the tv screen. Very narrow corridors and not the best signage. Could use some attention to detail in cleaning, light switches were dirty and lots of dust and dirt behind bedside tables and window sills. Rest of the room was clean.

Extra attention to details, ie. No cereal bowls. Water for tea cold. Would like fresh ingredients ie, peaches discoloured. Prefer cream cheese or cottage cheese instead of brie and blue vein - more for a cheese platter.

Lack of care for breakfast prep. Should promote breakfast and have a single bain-marie of bacon sausage and scrambled eggs.

A nice room in a good area close to plenty of cafés.

Found two loose airpods, one was in one of the beds, the other was under a bed, so questions about how well the room was cleaned before our arrival.

Ideal location, although the one ATM in the area (7-11) was broken, which meant had a bit of running around to do. If amenities in the area continue to dwindle, it may be necessary to provide more options in the hotel itself

When not using the bed to sleep, the matresses split apart and my poor companion kept getting stuck in a grand canyon - surely there is some way to make sure the mattresses stay in combined formation?

Location was great, perfect for travelling taxi and ride share easily can pick up from this location and know where it is and if travelling on a budget like we were the tram stop was close and tram routes from this stop were simpler than most other places we have been especially when entering city we had no transfers. On top of being a well priced place to stay.

Friendly staff, good location and parking available for a reasonable price

It was a little tired, but clean and comfortable.

Bed, reception staff

Bath (had dead bugs in it), small chips in wall paint and no PowerPoints next to bed to charge phones.
