We stayed in the Quest on Dorcas with our infant son. We loved the location, within walking distance to shops, markets and cafes of South Melbourne. There are also supermarkets on the same block as Quest. Our apartment was serviced daily, except on a public holiday, which I think is reasonable. This was made clear on arrival. The car park...

We stayed at this property for 3 nights. Spacious apartment, super friendly reception staff, awesome room servicing. We will certainly be back again. We had 4 adults and 1 child in our unit, plenty of space and very well appointed unit. Just a bit out of the main hustle and bustle of the Cbd. We were going to a wedding... More

Having stayed here in August 2011 we had no hesitation in staying again. This time around was even better. The 2 bedroom apartment (1108) was very nice but did have a slight damp odour. The view towards the Shrine of Rememberance and the city was very good. The reservation and reception staff were very nice and easy to deal with.... More

for a first time stay, it is a little confusing at first with half the building private owners. the reception staff were lovely, welcoming, helpful with directions. i worked out the carpark pretty quickly, with certain parks allocated to quest guests on each floor. some parks you would need to be an expert to get into, but i kept going...

The hotel is nice the location is perfect, the service and staff is shocking. Hotels in third world countries that I have stayed in have friendlier and more helpful staff helping out, not to mention there is no... More

Hi, I am sorry you were unhappy with some aspects of your stay with us and I thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I agree it would be unacceptable for a staff member to complain about a guest making a legitimate complaint and clearly a faulty fridge is just that. The staff member concerned indicated she believed... More

Very nice place. Extremely clean, modern and well presented. Within walking distance to the city [assuming you sort of know your way about a bit] We had an apartment on level 9 and the views from the lounge room of the city are spectacular. x2 flat screen TV's [one in master bedroom, which is always a positive I reckon :)...

Parking is a bit weird. Wi-fi is paid independently which is not always convenient. No breakfast as such, only a box. It is quite clean and modern so can't really complain. It is also strange because half of the building you have private apartments. Also have to pay extra for parking. More

We stayed 5 nights in a 2 bedroom executive apartment for $275 including parking. There were four of us in the group and we were very comfortable in this apartment during our stay. The location of this building is great. If you are driving down to Melbourne on the Hume Highway you take the toll road. This building is just... More

I've stayed here on two occasions - both while attending a training course at a nearby facility. The building is shared by Quest and by other permanent residents. Both stays, have been in the same room - which was clean and tidy to a level I don't usually see in hotels/serviced apartments. I've been impressed on all occasions. The building... More
