Crown Central Business District Motel - No under 18s

Absolute scam!!! Was booked to stay then saw accommodation was not for a child to be exposed to. Seedy people hanging around, filthy room and staff that do not answer their phone or reply to text messages. Do not stay here! Have requested refund with no response. Dirty, unhygienic, door communication and unsafe!

Room very small, tv broken, no batteries in remote control, skylight thru light, can’t sleep early AM. Shower water goes everywhere, no cupboard to hang clothes.

Room was very small and bed extremely firm, meant we did not have a restful stay. No flywire on windows meant we could not open these for fresh air, and the parking situation was tricky. However the location was walking distance to restaurants and attractions, and a room change was dealt with quickly when requested.

Could not open the blinds at all as there was an alley where people could see into the room. The hot water in shower took 5 mins to heat and I was there for 4 nights and no one came to clean the room. No wardrobe to put luggage in. And very noisy at night. Never will I stay here again.

Horrible experience-sent confirmation email with PIN numbers numbers didn’t work and people already in one of our rooms impossible to get hold of telephone numbers supplied DO NOT WORK and shear luck another person- looking for her room had a number that we had not seen before. Avoid this property- not worth the grief

The room that we stayed in was large and the beds were comfortable, but sadly that is where it ends. We were not sent information about how to access our room and the mobile number given for the property rang out twice before we were sent access information. There is no reception. We had to access our room via a dirty laneway where cafe workers were smoking. The constant noise in the laneway was frustrating. The floors had not been vacuumed and had hair and tissue remnants etc all over them. The skirting boards were dusty as was the two bedside tables. The fridge was grubby and there was even a half eaten ice-cream left in the freezer presumably from a previous guest!. The kettle was still full of water. We had to ring and ask for more toilet paper as we were left only a few squares on the roll. The bathroom floor was sticky underfoot and the towels were super scratchy! There is no desk and no wardrobes at all! There were a few satchets of sugar and tea, but no coffee or milk. We did provide feedback to the motel and the staff member who answered the phone thanked me and said that they will pass it onto the Manager. We would never usually stay in this sort of place, but it was booked by my partner’s company as it was the last place that had a room available in Bendigo that night.

My expectations for the Old Crown were super low - after all I had read the reviews. My gripes: - the bed was very hard and uncomfortable - lots of noise late at night and again early in the morning. There was a three or four hour window where it as quiet. We were in a room on the lane side. Perhaps the rooms on the other side are quieter? - No shampoo, hairdyer, wifi or hanging space On the plus side: - The room although small, was perfectly serviceable for a one night stay - Bathroom clean, shower hot - Communication re parking, check in etc was very clear - We snagged a park right out the front Not the worst place I've stayed. If we'd paid $125 a night I would have been satisfied but unfortunately we paid much more than that.

Great location the noisiest accommodation I’ve stayed at every door needs to be oiled it was very ordinary

If you are interested in being in a hotel without management around so you can put four or five people into a queen room and party this is for you. The noise of the partying guests in other rooms will be accompanied by the other rap music coming from outside. But never mind if it finishes late because you’ll get to hear at 7.30am on a Sunday morning as well. This was the noisiest hotel we’ve ever stayed at. Didn’t get a minute of sleep. The pillows are past there use by date, mattress ok but firm. Plenty of hot water, which was needed to freshen us up after nil sleep.
