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. More

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. More

Three nights in a 2 bedroom apartment, number 18. After reading previous reviews I was not expecting the Ritz and certainly didn't get it. 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

We stayed at the Quest Clocktower for 5 nights in June and really enjoyed the size of the apartment - it is as large as ours at home. It is very well located among many restaurants and although it is older than other places it is clean and large. More

A few years ago we stayed at Quest on Lygon up the road from the Clocktower and so we were looking forward to similar experience. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. This property is incredibly run down and in dire need of refurbishment. The rooms are fenced in by corigated iron and the room service is basically non-existent. To its credit,... More

I have stayed at these apartments many times over a number of years and I continue to go back to them because they are roomy and well located. I have given them an Average rating for the following reason. While the current managers of the property are very keen to make improvements, they are up against individual apartment owners who...
