Studio Apartment 12 looked a modern loft design refit. Closer examination revealed black mould in the shower, with some sort of ad hoc repair job around the base. There was thick grime around the oven and cook top, and a grimy microwave. This was old stuff, hadn't been cleaned in an age. We didn't plan to use them, so we... More

We were overwhelmingly disappointed with our stay at this location - so much so, we checked out after one night and sought other accommodation. I would agree with a previous reviewer's comments that reception is surly and unwilling to help - ironically, they were most helpful when we were cancelling our booking (even doing it on line on our behalf...

I stayed on business with two others. We had a 2 bedroom apartment. We found it to be very spacious and clean. Nicely furnished and modern. Smaller boutique hotel in a side street in Melbourne city. Fantastic location for shopping and eating. I would recommened it and I would stay here again.

We stayed at Quest Fairfax this month (May 2007) for a few days, in a 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment was a nice size, but lacked the shine of their website photos. I think their description of "newly refurbished" no longer fits. The kitchen was well equipped but alot of the crockery needed rewashing, as dishes still had food remains... More

Quest Fairfax House is an excellent alternative to most of the three / four star hotels especially if you are staying in Melbourne. We've stayed in the studio apartments (loft style) a number of times and have been very happy with them except for the occasional noise from the street (see the other review in this set also) and the...

Stayed here for 5 nights in January 2002. Really well equiped apartments and friendly helpful staff. We really enjoyed our stay here, and it was convenient for the rest of Melbourne. The only problem was noise in the street from the bin men VERY early in the morning!
