Outstanding customer service and the suites are spacious and comfortable. There are a lot of stairs within the property, so be mindful of that. I had a pram with me, and they kindly gave me a room on the ground floor. I couldn’t recommend it higher! I stayed for 2 nights with my family for a wedding. Perfect accommodation

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 ... So all things I needed were there

Out of hours Check in process was easy. There are a fair few stairs to get to the apartment, which isn’t that convenient if you’re like us with a toddler/pram. A bit of noise comes from the upstairs apartments, however apart from that our stay was nice and quiet and generally comfortable.

A wonderful long weekend in a 3 bedroom apartment with 5 adults. Clean, great bedding and very comfortable with every amenity. Just a few metres to a variety of cafes, restaurants and supermarket as well as the trams to the city and Box Hill. Great heating options throughout the apartment and highly recommend Quest Kew.
