Service staff are nice but the rooms are quite basic. Older 70s style rooms and amenities. Heating control was an older style dial-based control which did not work! Room was quite cold. Water from the taps and showers take a long time to heat up. This place advertises free broadband but it's extremely slow to the point that you're better... More

The location is close to restaurants & shopping, and the staff are friendly & helpful. The rooms are on the small side, but have quality beds, sheets & pillows and are all you could want as a base to work or play in Melbourne. More

We were booked in for 14 nights, the first apart we were allocated was tiny with a small wardrobe containing an iron board etc and barley room for... More

Room was small but excellent. Recently renovated so good new fixtures. Was disappointed as they listed having sbs but did not (just unlucky that it was tour de France weekend!). Also their lift wasn't working (took a great deal of time to arrive). But overall the room and location was great! More

We stayed at Quest during an overnight business trip to Melbourne. We booked through lastminute.com.au. It's hard to find a cheaper and more central location that will actually accept 1 night bookings! We booked a studio, but were upgraded to a 1 bedroom which was a nice surprise. The bed was comfy and the room was clean but a little... More

I stayed in a 2 BR apartment on the 1st floor for 2 nights. One bedroom had a QS bed and the other had a double bed. There was an interconnecting bathroom which was very useful (you could close doors at either end). The decor looked quite new. The kitchenette consisted of the usual crockery/cutlery and it appeared clean (I... More

As soon as we arrived, the reception personnel at the time treated us disrespectfully. We booked a 2 bedroom apartment with a balcony, however there was no balcony. We were told other guests booked another night & that we were put in another room. This was done without us being consulted. We didn't know about it until we walked into... More

I found this to be a really nice place to stay great to have your own space. Only complaint no TV in the bedroom, but then you do have a nice large flat screen in the living space. More

The apartment was a one bedroom so it had separate lounge area, bathroom and bedroom with a kitchinette in the lounge area. It was extremely neat and tidy, comfy bed and very quiet.
