“Disappointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment (4C) for 3 nights, although the rooms were spacious there was an unpleasant smell in the room which spoilt the experience, also the rooms were a little noisy. The bathroom supplies had been opened by the previous occupants and not replaced for us. All in all for the price of $270 per night we were disappointed with our stay.

“Large room, over deodorized and tired.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

We stayed here after moving from another serviced accommodation city apartment. At first they cleaned the room and changed the towels every second day. By week 3 I could barely get them to clean once every 5 days. This place is tired, the bed is uncomfortable, lumpy and cheap and there is a rubbish collection point behind the hotel which will wake you for about an hour emptying glass at least two times a week in the early morning. Saying this, it has great light ( despite not being able to open the windows unless you like spiders) nice enough decor and is amazingly central. It would really benefit from new linen- the towels were threadbare.

Thankyou for your valuable feedback regarding our apartments.
We pride ourselves on our excellent housekeeping standards and there should have been regular housekeeping schedule for your stay. Also between services front office staff will be happy to provide you with extra amenities as required.
We are continuously updating the apartments with new furniture, linen and towels to ensure every guest has an exceptional stay.
We are in a fantastic location in the heart of the CBD so the city does have its noises but most apartments have double glazed windows and are quiet considering the city is right below.
We hope you will consider staying with us again in 2012 to see the changes in the apartments and enjoy Melbourne.
Kind Regards
Jessica

“Absolute Robbery - NEVER AGAIN!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011
3
people found this review helpful

My partner stayed there over a week end - 2 nights, in the penthouse, and paid over $800 - what a disaster.
He had a hand full of friends over, then went out.
He made an extra effet to leave the place in the same condition that he found it in , which was decent. He even had a friend bring a vacum cleaner, and vacumed teh whole place, washed the dishes, took out all the rubbish, made the beds.....
He recieved a call teh following day saying the house keeper found cigarette ash and butts in the master bedroom , and were charging him $300 dollars for maintence.
WHAT THE.... there was no smoking in the apartment, let alone beroom. I had washed my face, and get ready in that bathroom, there was no ash or cigarettes..... they charged the credit card. i asked for evidence, and convienctly, it was "cleaned up ".... absolute robbery. our word against theirs, and it looks like we are loosing this battle. NEVER GOING BACK -

Thankyou for your feedback regarding your stay in August 2011. We appreciate your partners efforts to leave the room in a good condition.
We are a non smoking and no party property for the comfort of all guests as stated on our terms and conditions signed when checking in.
I am confident in our housekeepers standards and the penthouse apartment needs to be in exceptional condition for the next guests to arrive and would have required additional staff to clean and bring up to standard.
We do not like to charge people this cleaning fee and avoid it where possible.
I hope you did still enjoy your weekend and that you may choose to stay at Quest in the future.
Kind Regards

“Great apartment, execllent location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011

Stayed here for four nights on a girls weekend to Melbourne. In the past we have stayed at Southbank so thought that we would have a change and stay somewhere in the heart of the city. The location was fantastic - walk to everything - didnt have to get a cab once. Close to lots of lovely laneways and cafes and restaurants - and of course the shops. It can be quite noisy outside but it is the middle of the city after all! Quick visit to the chemist for some cheap ear-plugs and noise was no longer a problem. We had a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment - plenty of room for the four of us - very clean and serviced daily - only complaint would be that the carpet is looking a bit "tired" - could use replacing. Would happily stay here again.

“Champagne apartment for a beer price. So impressed.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2011

I am sitting in the apartment right now writing this. Am here for the Queen's birthday long weekend for a girls weekend away. After reading some of the reviews before I was a bit worried about what we would get and especially because the price is quite cheap. But as soon as we opened the door to our apartment we knew it was the right choice. We have e 2 bedroom 2 bathroom executive apartment and it's amazing. It's a huge apartment with heaps of space. I love the high ceilings and big windows. So clean and tastefully furnished. Comfy comfy beds and large roomy bedrooms. More than enough room for 4 girls to spread out! Great location too. Would definitely recommend to everyone. Thank you Quest!
