Quest Flemington Apartment Hotels (Melbourne, Australia)

Families, couples, and groups of friends generally find the apartments roomy, clean, and well equipped with a full kitchen, laundry, and even a baby cot and high chair if you need them. Some of the rooms on the top floor offer a great view over the racecourse, though rooms on the first are closest to the much appreciated outdoor entertainment: the tennis court, swimming pool, and grilling area are widely described as relaxing and well cared for.

Many guests choose the hotel for its location within walking distance of the Melbourne Showground and Flemington Racecourse, though with the freeway and tram 57 (which runs directly into Melbourne CBD) also nearby, it is also fairly convenient for sightseeing. There are many restaurants within walking distance and a grocery store just up the road, too.

The front desk staff have received many good reviews for their friendly and helpful service; first-time visitors are pleased to report that the team recommend restaurants and provides maps as well as friendly advice about the city.

Guests with hearty morning appetites find the complimentary "to go" breakfast pack too insubstantial, noting it largely consists of individually-packaged cereal.

Guests who stay on the second or third floor note that the property does not have an elevator, and advise those with mobility concerns to make a special request at booking.

The tidiest travellers dislike that housekeeping is scheduled every other day instead of daily, making it necessary to request fresh towels if necessary on an "off" day. Pet and cigarette odours are also occasionally reported nuisances.
