My partner booked a Quest studio apartment online and paid full tariff for a fully serviced apartment, well in advance of our trip. We booked in on the 7 June and were happy with the pleasant young man at reception who gave us advice on where to eat. We did not enjoy our stay. The apartment had several maintenance issues,...

We stayed here for one night. The double bed was perfect for a good nights sleep. HD TV. A bit annoying that optional parking was $15. We opted for street parking as we arrived after 6pm and had to leave at 9am anyway. Otherwise you have to pay $1 per half an hour! Also wifi was charged for. Washer and... More

My husband & I have stayed here on 2 occasions, for an overnight visit to Canberra, to either see a show at the Royal Theatre or the Canberra Theatre, which is close by, we had no problems with our room, or any noise, also no problems with the parking..would definitely stay here again.

Apartment was one of the smaller ones at the rear of the building, but quite quiet, well serviced, and fine for proximity to work. I had no car so didn't experience parking issues that others have seen, though having seen the available parking I can understand the comments. Only negative comment is the reliability of the internet connectivity. Location very... More

Have stayed here on numerous occasions but, despite a great location and lovely staff, no way am I coming back! The boys left the pub downstairs yelling and screaming at 3am on Thursday. Girls yelled and carried on until after 4am on Friday. Saturday was shocking with a 4:30am finish from both! Sunday morning was around 4am again - but... More

Convenient location, close to some really great restaurants and bars. The apartment was very well equipped although we only stayed for 2 nights and didn't really take advantage of all of the facilities. Parking is reasonable at $12 per night and really didn't have a problem with parking out the back. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely... More

Good quality accommodation, plenty of space and clean rooms. Balcony overlooking main street is a plus, although it is noisy on the weekends at night. However for the price paid I would expect better car parking - there is limited car parking at rear of premise, which is unsecured in an alley with a club X in it.
