In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Home-like apartments with full kitchen and laundry — Every apartment comes with a washing machine, dryer and kitchen utensils, plus a balcony, making it easy to settle in for longer stays.
  • Quiet yet central St Kilda setting — Guests repeatedly highlight the quiet, private location that's still a short walk from the beach, trams, restaurants and Luna Park.
  • Helpful and friendly staff — Several reviewers note polite, supportive staff who offered useful local information and went out of their way to assist.
  • Good value for families and groups — With roomy apartments, a kitchen and reasonable prices, families found the property affordable for footy weekends and longer stays with children.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Inconsistent room preparation — At least one guest found their room did not have the promised third bed set up, and staff did not resolve it quickly, leaving them to manage a fold-out bed themselves.
  • Noise from kitchen appliances — The dishwasher and extractor fan were described as very noisy, which could be disruptive in the open-plan living space.
  • Bed comfort and light control — Some beds were considered a bit hard, and bedrooms lacked curtains – only blinds – so early morning light came in.
  • Restricted check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 22:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.

“On arrival our room wasn't set up for the third guest despite a bed having been promised. Staff didn't handle it well, leaving us to sort out a fold-out bed ourselves.”

7.7Verified guest

“The apartments were roomy and well kitted out, but the dishwasher and extractor fan were very loud. Beds were a touch hard – a fleecy underlay would have helped – and the bedrooms needed curtains because early morning light came through the blinds. Helpful staff and a good position.”

7.7Verified guest

“Loved the location and the short walk to the trams. Rooms were comfortable and clean, and the staff were supportive and polite. We'd like to come back every year – see you again soon.”

“I chose the Quest for its proximity to the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, which I was keen to see. Being close to Fitzroy and Acland Streets' bars, restaurants and cafés was a bonus – I enjoyed exploring the local food scene. The free Wi-Fi helped me plan my outings, and it made a perfect base for my St Kilda trip.”

7.7Verified guest

“Good location, fair price and comfortable, clean accommodation.”

“The location was wonderful – about 10–15 minutes' walk from the historic amusement park. A quiet area close to shops, restaurants, the beach and Luna Park – a great base for me.”
