I took my friend and my three children to the Quest for a night. We were very impressed with the decor and the modern amenities. Everything worked properly and we really couldn't fault anything. Shops are a two min walk away and public transport is easily accessible. Very impressed.

Spent 2 nights with family of four (inc. teenagers). Roomy, quiet, clean and fantastic location on Lygon St, easy to get to city, walk to Fitzroy. Only gripe was poor security as anyone can access these units - need a safe!

I chose this Hotel as the location seemed perfect which it was. You are very close to the city and Lygon street cafes. The rooms were quiet and you didn't hear any city noise. The rooms and facilities are extrmely outdated however it was perfect for us who just needed somewhere to lay our head at the end of the... More

We are a family of four and rented one of the 2 bedroom apartments for 4 nights over Easter. They are a bit dated, but very roomy and fantastic location (out front gate into a small side street and you can see Lygon St). We've stayed in Carlton on 3 separate occasions now, and considering the price, location and facilities... More

I stayed at the Carlton Clocktower the other night (for one night). Because the complex is shared with other businesses (solicitors etc), it was difficult to find a car park (far end of the bottom floor) and the elevator didn't work when I left the next day. The rooms were about 20-30 years old and dated but quite large. The... More

Had booked this hotel following assurance that it would be wheelchair accessible - had planned to meet up with a friend visiting with his wife the day after our arrival. This place is not wheelchair friendly and we sufferred the hassle of spending 2 and a half hours to find alternative accommodation. Very basic rooms.

Stayed 2 nights and only found out after booking in that there was no maid service on Sundays. OK but the rate should not be the same and it was not declared on the website when booking in. Is very tired compared to other Quest properties I have stayed at and needs an update.

The property is rated 4* and we paid top price as it was during the Grand Prix timing,4* it was not. The furnishings were old, very dated and showing wear, lounge suites were functional vinyl and...

The staff were excellent and very friendly. The Apartment was clean, fairly new and well heated - very important for the cold winter month of August. The location is very good for restaurants, taxis and access to public transport. The only drawback was the terrible internet access in the apartment. It is advertised as wireless through separate payment to the... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here - the location is always wonderful. Since our last stay a year ago there have been some changes to the property 'freshening it up' a bit - a paint job and some new furniture. The staff were patient and good humoured in providing directions and information. We had no trouble getting around without the... More
