“The apartment was really spacious and fit my family of five comfortably. It had all the amenities we needed, but there was a strange smell that made it less pleasant than it could have been.”

8.7Verified guest

“Right in the centre, close to everything, and there's a coffee shop next door.”

8.7Verified guest

“The place was reasonably clean, and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. Location was great, very close to a casino and restaurants – right in the entertainment area. A very nice stay for my business trip.”

8.7Verified guest

“I was excited to visit the National Gallery of Victoria, which is a must-see for its iconic Australian art collection. Quest was perfectly situated just moments from the gallery, making it an easy choice. The fitness centre was a nice surprise – I enjoyed morning workouts. Lots of nearby restaurants too.”

8.7Verified guest

“I stay here 3 nights. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the room well-organised, with a king bed. Modern throughout, though a few staff were unprofessional. The location was perfect for walking around a block-size plaza, with a good restaurant, shopping malls and a market nearby.”

8.7Verified guest

“Very comfortable, spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment in an excellent location. We could walk everywhere. A lovely new restaurant, with reasonably priced breakfast, has opened around the corner.”
