Quest Jolimont Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Quest Jolimont on Wellington Parade South, you immediately get the sense that this four-star property knows exactly what it’s doing. The building has that understated Melbourne elegance — not flashy, but clearly well-maintained and thoughtfully designed. I mean, when couples are rating the location 9.5 out of 10, you know you’re onto something special here in Melbourne.

Location Magic

Honestly, the location is what really sets this place apart. East Melbourne is one of those neighborhoods that locals love but tourists often overlook — until they stay here, anyway. You’re literally a stone’s throw from the MCG and just far enough from the CBD chaos to actually get some peace. The parking situation is brilliant too — having your own spot in Melbourne is like striking gold, and Quest Jolimont sorts that out for you on-site. You can walk to the Fitzroy Gardens in about five minutes, and catching a tram into the city center takes maybe ten minutes on a bad day.

The Apartment Experience

What I really appreciate about Quest properties is that they give you proper apartment-style accommodation, not just a hotel room with a mini-fridge. The spaces here actually feel livable — you’ve got a decent kitchen setup if you want to grab groceries from the nearby Woolworths and cook something up. The layouts are smart too, with separate living areas that don’t make you feel like you’re camping out in a bedroom for your entire stay. Everything’s modern and clean, though not overly fancy — it’s more about comfort and functionality than trying to impress you with marble everything.

Neighborhood Perks

You know what’s great about this spot? You’re close enough to everything but far enough away that you’re not dealing with drunk backpackers stumbling past your window at 3 AM. The area around Wellington Parade South has this lovely residential feel — tree-lined streets, heritage buildings, actual Melburnians going about their daily lives. There’s a solid restaurant scene within walking distance, and if you’re into your coffee (this is Melbourne, after all), you’ll find some genuinely good spots that aren’t tourist traps.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.7 rating really tells the story here — this isn’t about flashy amenities or over-the-top service, it’s about getting the fundamentals absolutely right. The location score of 9.6 speaks for itself, but beyond that, it’s the little things that add up. Having space to spread out, reliable wifi for getting work done, and being able to pop down to the local shops like you’re actually living in Melbourne for a bit rather than just passing through. It’s particularly perfect for couples who want to explore the city properly without feeling like they’re staying in a tourist bubble.

  • Gabygoestravelling from Australia (9/10)

    This was a great spot for a night away.
    The staff were lovely and very accommodating.
    The only downside was that the bed was 2 singles pushed together. The beds were uncomfortable.
    That said, I would happily book there again
