I found this hotel to be a mixed bag. While it offers a good price and the breakfast was enjoyable, the noise from the outside was quite bothersome. The staff were mostly friendly and helpful, but the lack of knowledge and efficiency at times took away from my experience. Overall, it's a budget option, but don't expect total comfort during your stay.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, thanks to its budget-friendly prices and a filling breakfast. The room was cosy and I enjoyed the hot shower, but the noise from the nearby bus park and churches was quite bothersome in the early mornings. The staff was generally friendly, but there were some hiccups with service during shift changes that made things a bit chaotic.

I had a mixed experience at Hotel Barkley. While the price was incredibly affordable, the noise from the bus park outside was unbearable, and it made sleeping difficult. The staff seemed overwhelmed and lacked helpful information, which made my stay less enjoyable than I hoped. On the brighter side, the breakfast was delicious, and I appreciated the daily room cleaning services, but they really need to improve their overall service and guest support.

The hotel offers a budget-friendly stay, making it easy to get around town, but the noise from the street can be quite disruptive at night. The staff were welcoming and helpful, ensuring I got a good deal on a taxi and takeaway food. While the breakfast was filling, the noise and safety concerns in the area detracted from the overall experience.
