I like the area to stay in when I am in Melbourne For me it is easy to drive to and park car etc. Stairs from carpark to ground level a bit of a trial. But I do appreciate car being under cover etc.
It was hot this time and I happily found a fan for the bedroom ...

This was the second time we have stayed here this year. We were there for a family funeral and it was a good place for all our family from around Australia to be together. My elderly mother wasnt able to climb the stairs to our apartment, so the gentleman on reception kindly changed us to a ground floor apartment. The only negative thing I have to say is that it smelled of cigarette smoke. We'd happily stay again.

Room were clean and comfortable, staffs there are kind and willing to help you.

Just need to know, they don’t have lobby there, and hard to get early check in, so avoid to be too early there if you take a flight with early arrival, there won’t be a comfortable place for you to rest or charge your phone.

Location is quite convincingly too, easily to get things you need.

Good location.

The property has no elevators & we were booked on the 2nd floor. Not good for the elderly so they managed to find a room on the 1st floor, which was still a struggle from the basement. Be aware that there is a $20 a day parking fee which is a bit steep. Location was good. Bedroom was cold.

Close to everything in Kew.

Two night very comfortable stay in Kew

Large 2 bedroom apartment with well equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms and separate laundry. Very quiet, safe and comfortable for singles or families.
Located near High street so it is very close to the tram stop, shopping centre and a variety of cafes and food outlets including 2 supermarkets.

There is no lift so if stairs are an issue request a ground floor apartment.
Highly recommend Quest Kew.

Just don't get sick or have an accident and cancel at the last minute. They have no sympathy and you lose your money.

Quest Kew review

My stay was noisy - I was woken up at 6.30am by workman right outside my window working on something at the hotel. However, my stay was otherwise fine.
Also, I not been refunded my security deposit on my credit card. I wasn't able to check out because reception wasn't open and I just left my keys in a box. Maybe this is why they have overlooked it.

I didn't like the fact there was no lift. I also would have preferred the linen and towels changed daily.

Clean quiet apartment

The apartment was spacious and quiet. The 2 rooms and separate lounge were ideal for travellling with children. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

The only suggestion would be to offer free WiFi.

Very convenient location in kew.

I had a great experience. Reception was efficient and pleasant. I was coming back later after 10.00pm so the receptionist walked me to my room so I would easily be able to find it upon returning late and explained what keys to use after hours. Really nice personalized service.

Great location

We love staying at Quest Kew. It is perfectly located for us when we visit Melbourne. The staff are excellent and the facilities are generally very good. On our last visit, it was very hot and we would have like ceiling fans in the rooms. It is also not the best place if you have a pram, as there are a few steps to manoeuvre even if you are on the ground floor.

I thought it was an all night factory .

Discussing. Noisey. Staff were told before booking that l was having major surgery down the road and after my hospital stay l needed a quiet room ground floor. I moved rooms once and each time they put a family with young children up all night scrapping chairs across the tile floor. And the adults sounded like a tribe of elephants everytime they stomped from room to room. I've never had a hotel stay so bad.

Great locality in Kew

Really enjoyed our stay here for 4 nights in a 3 bedroom apartment. The two bathrooms, dishwasher and washing machine make it like home.
There could have been a few more kitchen supplies like cutlery and the sole pan for cooking for a little small and old.
The space in the apartment was appreciated.
One annoying thing was the noisy downpipes when it rained - very noisy

Some mould in bathroom doesn't set a good impression nor does a failure to remove it when requested. Overpriced for what it is in my opinion.

Great location, appalling wifi.

Quest Kew has a great location close to a tram stop. The apartment we were in (2 bedroom, 2 bathroom) was spacious and modestly decorated, though showing signs of wear. What made our stay incredibly frustrating was the BAD WIFI. The hotel staff assured us that they were working on it, but it remained quite inconsistent - never strong - during our 3 day trip. For us, wifi connection is a must on work/vacation trips, so unless we get better reports on Quest Kew's wifi, we would be looking at the Amora hotel a bit closer to the city on the same tram line.

No lifts

There are no lifts so if you are on the 3rd floor that is 4 flights of stairs to carry your luggage.
I was traveling with my 84 y/o parents so this was a major concern for us.
The lack of lifts should be apparent on the hotel website so you can make an informed decision.
We were fortunate that the staff found a vacancy on the ground floor but it could have been fully booked and we would have needed to find alternative accommodation.
