The apartment is fully equipped for cooking which is good. But they dont check to see if the stuff is cleaned between visitors as we had to reclean a lot of things before we could use them. The bath tap didn't work so we had to use the shower head with no pressure to fill the bath up. Interenet didnt work, there isnt enough power points to charge anything. The photos show really modern but its quiet run down and we ended up leaving a whole night early and going home.

My husband and I could not fly due to having Influenza A so we could not attend a family function. Our other family members were staying there. The hotel manager declined to refund our booking which was fully paid. This was very disappointing on top of not being able to attend the function that my husband was the main guest for.

Nice stay

Enjoyed our stay in the apartment, bed was comfortable and easy to access the apartment . disappointed that we paid for parking when we didn’t have too as it was complementary with our stay in the unit. Also we’re not informed of $300 refundable deposit prior to booking for incidentals although there is no mini bar in the apartment.

There is much to like about the Crest Apartments on Barkly. If you are looking for value for money and happy for older apartments that have various levels of upgrade, these are for you. We were initially concerned given the wide range of reviews, but just remember you are not checking into 2025 new, you are checking into clean, comfortable and well presented. Staff were friendly and our apartment was regularly cleaned over the 4 nights of our booking. Beds were comfortable. Our 3 bedroom apartment had a toilet separate to the bathroom and a washer/dryer in the bathroom. It even had a modern spa bath. However my other apartment, while similar, did not have that feature. A good value for money option, with a close tram into the city or down to St Kilda proper. Lots of eating options and a Woolworths (small version) about 10 minute walk away.

Served our purpose for an overnight-er. The apartment itself was very spacious and not cramped or small at all, but definitely showed its age. Great to have onsite parking available for a fee but The car park definitely tests tour driving ability if you drive an suv. Tight is the only word to describe it with 20pt turns to get in and out. Location is great and in walking distance to restaurants and supermarkets etc but the traffic noise is very intrusive and loud. Chosen for its location in relation to an event and for 2 bedrooms 3 beds and price but I wouldn’t necessarily stay again for the same event.

Warm and comfortable though the windows could do with thicker curtains for the winter. I would've recommended the radiant panel heaters over their very powerful and easy to use dual system air con, while it's clearly a beast, it's an inefficient form of heating that fades the minute it's off to the plus it dries you out something shocking! They have spa baths as standard! Fantastic! Probably isn't the fanciest place out there, but for nice location,
