Detailed Reviews
The Quest Geelong is a fairly new development located about 1.5km from the centre of town. It is a very pleasant walk along the foreshore to the waterfront centre. My wife and I like to walk so it was no issue to leave the car here, in the carpark.
The rooms are refreshingly good, light and bright and represent good value for money particularly when compared to Rydges. The apartment consists of a largish open plan of lounge/dining/kitchen + separate bedroom + separate ensuite [with washer dryer]. All the mod cons are included – reasonably sized TV, lounge suite, dining table, hot plates for cooking, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, etc.
If you wanted to live here for an extended stay, it would suit admirably. [My wife and I rarely cook though; we dine out and only used the accommodation to sleep in for a few days.]
I would not hesitate to come here again. It has a nice vibe. It is not cutting edge designer 5 stars but you are not paying that rate. The online pictures tend to reflect what it is.

This was our first stay at the Quest Geelong and we had a perfect stay in the one bedroom apartment.
It was very modern with a large living area, kitchen was nice as was the dining area, The bedroom was not large but ok, would have liked to have had a TV as well in the bedroom. The bathroom was ok and had a washing machine and dryer.
The location was perfect for us a 10-15 minute walk to the waterfront restaurants, bars and and city centre.
A very quiet location, we slept well and felt very safe,
The underground car park was great for our small car and was included in our booking.
It was also very handy to have a drink and snack machine in reception.
We are regular visitors to Geelong and will certainly consider staying at the Quest if the price is right.

We booked 5 nights here however it the full sized kitchen had below standard utensils and items to cook with. We had only one remote control for both tvs and both air conditioning units. We had to ask for room service after 3 days so we could replenish washing up and bathroom products.

Hi carey2022, Thank you for reviewing your recent stay at Quest Geelong. We are disappointed you did not find the kitchen utensils within your kitchen. All our apartments feature full kitchens with utensils such as pots, pans, cooking utensils, tableware, glassware, and other extras that might be needed. If there are items required guests are welcome to enquire with reception. Housekeeping attend rooms each day except for Sundays and public holidays. And are always available for extra amenities as required. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards The Quest Geelong Team.

We found reception staff to be very friendly and very helpful, that was where it ended. We had an apartment which had a “private balcony” which faced the freeway and railway line. The balcony was dirty and in full sun late afternoon. Housekeeping failed to leave, bathroom soap and shampoo, dishwasher and dishwasher crystals, we had to go and ask each day for this, only to be told housekeeping g should have left them. There were holes in the blockout curtain, ac rattled, we found a tv remote in the back of the lounge. The kitchen was very poorly supplied, again, no sharp knives or trays for the oven, had to ask for them. We were very disappointed as this was an expensive stay and we certainly didn’t get value for money. We have since noted that the photos on the website were nothing like our apartment. Maybe the rooms on the fro t side may have been quieter as the road noise was bad. Very disappointed about this property.

Staff were very friendly and check in was very easy. Apartment was very clean and had great amenities. There was parking on site with ease of access. The location is close to the town centre of Geelong. The neighbourhood was very quiet during the night so sleep was not disturbed.

Had a great stay at the Quest Geelong.
Large spacious apartments that suited us very well.
A 2 B/R, 2 bathroom apartment was ideal for 4 people. The lounge/kitchen area was spacious and spotless when we arrived
A 5 minute walk to the centre of town

Quest Geelong offers a solid option located just a 5-minute drive from the busy area, it's close enough to enjoy the hustle and bustle without being right in the thick of it.
Parking can be a bit of a hassle, with limited spaces in the building. However, there are plenty of street parking spots available, which helps. One of the highlights is its proximity to the beach, just a short walk away. The views of the yachts and boats are pretty spectacular.
The staff at Quest Geelong are attentive and friendly, always ready to offer helpful advice about the Geelong area. Their local knowledge made our stay even more enjoyable.
It's also conveniently located within a 10-minute drive to Westfield Geelong, as well as various cafes, restaurants, and attractions. Overall, Quest Geelong is a decent choice if you value convenience, good service, and a great location.
