“Welcome To Melbourne's Heart”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

Quay West Apartments are situated right in the heart of Melbourne, you have everything at your doorstep. The apartments are very comfortable, with a small balcony with a table and 2 chairs, and being on the 14th floor we had fantastic views towards the Tennis Centre, MCG, the Botanical Gardens and much more, with the Dandenongs in the distance. Our room was spacious with a couch for easy TV viewing, very comfortable beds and a large bathroom with a separate shower and bath. While you expect a clock/radio next to the bed, a lovely surprise was an iPhone/iPod dock with alarm capabilities, very handy for charging as well. We had late check out the next day, so after a delicious breakfast in their restaurant, we did some exploring to see the Christmas decorations. The staff were not only happy to hold our luggage until we returned, they even put it in our car which we had dropped at the front door on arrival for Valet Parking, we only had to let them know when we were ready to leave, the car was there in 5 minutes, now that's service.You are surrounded by the excellent Southbank Restaurants, The Art Centre,and just across the river from Federation Square, the Tourist Information Centre & Flinders Street Station. One of the other benefits is being within walking distance to Crown Casino and the Free City Circle tram which gives you access to The Princess Theatre, Melbourne Museum, Imax Theatre, Docklands, The Aquarium, The Immigration Museum, Etihad Stadium and much more, which means no taxi fares. We were attending a Christmas Function at Southbank so it was an easy walk, and we didn't have to worry about driving home. We had stayed previously, and will stay again, and would not hesitate in recommending the establishment to everyone.

Room Tip: The only difference in the rooms is the view, so you could ask for a particular vista, but any view...

“Cannot stay away”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

This visit Dec12 - Jan 13 was our seventh consecutive stay always at the same time each year, so surely tells you something.Staff in all departments provide an excellent service are friendly, always cheerful and go that extra bit with out prompting. . Location on the river is hard to beat and within easy walking distance to restaurants, shops and transport. The house bar is welcoming particularly after a hard days shopping often in high temperatures with good bar food or room service meals available either in the bar or ones suite.
Breakfasts are excellent and provide a good start to the day.
Airconditioning in all suites is both functional and essential. The ability to do ones laundry or cook in suite is a bonus. One of the best we have stayed in and will continue to do soi. Have already booked our next end of year stay. Great venue to view the fabulous New yerar's Eve fire works display.

Room Tip: Request a high floor suite with a river and city view.

“This is the one”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

Melbourne is our home town and this is the place to stay. It's location can't be beaten for going shopping , eating at some great restaurants, seeing the sights, art centre, Ian Potter centre and Federation Square, walking distance from Flinders St station. Hotel rooms are great and apartments even better but the real reason is the staff who are warm and welcoming. Thanks for another great stay.

Room Tip: All the rooms have a balcony. The apartment would be a good choice if you want a bit of space

“One of the best hotels in Melbourne!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013 via mobile

This was our first stay at Quay West and we absolutely love it. We had booked a standard suite with breakfast and check in we were upgraded to a one bedroom deluxe suite. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and it was great to have a separate lounge/dine and kitchen. One bonus was that it had its own washing machine to wash your own laundry. The views from the balcony looking out over the Yarra river were magnificent. Breakfast options were plentiful, however the coffee wasn't that great. The hotel is in close proximity to bars, great restaurants and trams. We will definitely be going back to Quay West Suites in the future.

“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

We have stayed at Quay West Melbourne several times, everytime the staff have been friendly and welcoming. We love the position along Southbank. Easy walking distance to the centre of Melbourne, the casino or across the river form Flinders Street station and trams. We have stayed around Christmas time 3 times and the kids love the walk across the river to see the decorations etc. The rooms are spacious with self contained kitchen and if you can make sure you get a room that overlooks the river. It is beautiful at night.
The kids also love the pool. When we travel to Melbourne this is the first choice for us.

Room Tip: Book a higher room that overlooks the river
