This was my fourth Quest stay on this trip and sadly it was far below the others. The room we had had the bedroom wall vibrating which I traced to the extractions fans from either bedroom. We were offered another room was a little more shabby (burn marks in the counter top, fraid carpet between rooms). So stayed where we were and made sure the we lit the toilet from the hall light if going to the loo in the evening.
The internet was poor, it kept stopping and made it unusable for the laptop connect via a vpn. Used my 5G dongle instead.
Also not something they can do anything about but Fri/Sat is club night and we heard bass drum beats till the early hours, and being next to rail lines early Sunday morning I can only presume they were cleaning or repairing the tracks with. Large machine (6 am).
The reception guy was very good and give kudos for trying to sort out our noisy walls. But next time I’m in Melbourne I’ll look for another quest. Because Quest is the best, just not at this location.

The property itself, the rooms & the facilities were amazing. Everything you could need AND more, however the NOISE was something else. It sounded like I was sleeping outside with people walking past, trains beeping their horns and general noises all around. I slept with ear plugs in and was still woken multiple times through the night with very loud noise. The rooms are not soundproof and the noise travels through the glass doors and windows which are everywhere. I wouldn’t stay again only because of the noise level and a night of no sleep. Otherwise the peppery was great.

The property was easily accessible via Tram or Train.
Good near little spot close to The Alfred/City/St Kilda and much more.
Neat and tidy with lounge/dining/kitchen/laundry downstairs and all bedrooms upstairs.
The only complaint - and not the accommodation’s fault - is that our property was structurally adjacent to a late night hotel.

Booked in at Quest Prahran because it was convenient for an upcoming knee operation in Windsor. Unfortunately, when the booking was made I didn’t ask about steps, and though the apartment was lovely, there were a lot. Staff were sympathetic but unable to offer an alternative room at check in. Will ask for a ground floor room next time.

I will not stay here again.
I had the first unit next to the road, above the Reception, and the noise was terrible. The walls shook with every train that went past which were very frequent, not to mention that every second train used a horn.
I could clearly hear all conversations held on the street below or in front of the reception. I can see that the windows are meant to be double glazed / double walled but clearly they need to be replaced. There was literally no quiet during my entire stay and I slept terribly the entire time.
There were some simple things which were also frustrating for the high price paid. The bedroom, which was on a second floor, had no proper nightstand - just a board that clipped into the bed backboard which could not support any weight and sloped. No power point close to the bed - I ended up bringing a dining chair upstairs and putting it next to the only power point in the room. No TV in the bedroom. Not even an alarm clock in the bedroom.
The bath tub had so many scratches in it that at first I thought it was filthy.
The main gate was never closed. They went to the effort of closing the pedestrian side gate but the main entrance was wide open all night despite the sign saying it would be closed after 9pm, so did not feel very secure walking in late night. I was very glad I was upstairs and not on the ground floor for this reason.
The overall vibe was very run-down and for $170 a night, that was ridiculous.

No soundproofing & behind a busy nightclub

Stayed here for training. Good location for shopping, restaurants and night life. Nice clean apartments and easy parking access. Although no view out the window. Only issue was it wasn’t soundproof. I could hear nightclub music, people partying in car park all night. Very loud and had two nights of little sleep. Would only recommend if planning on party too!!!

Comfortable accommodation close to Chapel Street

We stayed in a two-bedroom, two-bathroom ground floor apartment. The room was clean and quiet, and we enjoyed a restful night. The first bedroom had twin single beds, and the second had a king sized bed.

The hotel has off street parking at $15 a night. We were told upon checking in that that if we'd booked directly with Quest, that parking would have been free.

Free wi-fi was provided in the room.

The hotel is located just behind the Prahran Market, so a short stroll along Commerical Road to Chapel Street.

Excellent location

The apartment was very clean and comfortable and included everything you would need if you wanted to self cater. The Prahran markets are around the corner which would make this option easy. Trams are just a couple of doors away so access to the city is convenient. The immediate area is great for shopping as well as restaurants, supermarkets etc.
On site parking is available also free wifi.
Staff are very friendly and ready to help with any request and the apartments are serviced daily.

South Yarra Stopover

I really enjoyed staying at the Quest Prahran - it's so central to many places. The market is right next door, and shops and eateries are all within walking distance (some are literally just around the corner). Bus stop is close by too.

Signage could have been a bit clearer though - it was hidden by a tree.

Overall though, a great stay and would definitely stay there again.

Amazing customer service

Fantastic customer service. Man on reception organised pizzas for us for dinner and made sure they were delivered to us straight away. And then in the morning, the lady at reception let us stay in the room a little bit later while waiting for our driver to collect us. It was a horrible cold day, and because there was no one due in the room for a while they let us stay in there for 45 mins after. What a blessing!

Great location

Love where the hotel is located, a quick walk to the tram, Prahran market and Chapel St. Was just a bit disappointed in the actual room, it was quite a lot smaller than I imagined and outdated especially the bathrooms and I didn't think the photos on the web really reflected the property. We did get the room service (Italian) one night and it was very nice. I would stay again if I was looking for budget accommodation but if I was looking for luxury this wouldn't be the place.

Fantastic location- shops, train station & food

Prahran train station is a 4min walk. Woolies and Coles are just around the corner. Within the complex I felt very safe and secure. Only people with a key can access the complex after staff hours. Overall an amazing hotel for the location and price. Would stay again :)

Apartments behind Prahran Market

Cheery welcome with a discount for parking as we had taken a 2BR unit. Parking possible outside unit Reasonably sized kitchen with a paucity of utensils and oven cooking tray and pan.
Cushion less sofas, and insufficient plugs for IT equipment at a good size desk. Steep stairs
Leaking taps in the bathrooms and some water pressure hot/cold issues with one shower.
Market and plenty of shops
An acceptable place to stay without good comfort

Very close to main streets of Prahran

The bed was comfortable, my room was quiet, bottom floor not far from office. New owners who are very keen to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Very professional and welcoming staff.
A couple of nightclubs are very close, so if you are night owls, this motel is in a great position.

Our Prahran Home!

Quest Prahran is like a home away from home for us. We have stayed here a number of times. Whenever there is an issue, they are extremely obliging to ensure our comfort is not affected. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The location is great with it being close to Chapel Street, Greville Street and Commercial Rd. You can shop, eat and drink to your hearts desire!

Backing onto a nightclub

The rooms were nice, although a bit tired. The issue was that the rooms backed onto a nightclub, so that thumping music was reverberating through the entire apartment until 4am.
