Quest was on tram route into Melbourne,only 3 stops to Flinders St. Nice area but what made stay so special was excellent service and kindness we received from Leslie on reception.
Very comfortable bed, reasonably cumfy sofa, spotlessly clean, spacious accommodation and the location is excellent. A couple of little niggles - the bathroom taps were very hard to turn off, and the switch to move the shower water from the tap to the shower had to be pushed really hard to keep the shower running. We'll happily stay here again.

The best chocolate in the box.
Picking a hotel room off a website can be hit and miss but this hotel was a great find.
Location is excellent either driving, walking or using public transport.
The room was spacious with a tv in the lounge room and the bedroom.
Good Communication made our after hours check in seamless.
