Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Reviews summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Quest Flemington Central hotel is frequently lauded for its high-quality amenities, including well-furnished rooms and an impressive pool offering city views, although the air conditioning has been noted to have limited effectiveness in places. The hotel's prime location is a hit with guests, providing easy access to public transport and nearby sports venues.
Its contemporary atmosphere and decor contribute to the overall comfort, yet some guests suggest that a keener attention to cleaning detail is needed. While the room offerings are generally appreciated for their modernity and comfort, issues with service and privacy have been pointed out, along with the high cost of parking despite the competitive room pricing.

Detailed Reviews
I had need to stay overnight for an event occurring at the Showgrounds and chose Flemington Central for its proximity and room range. Even though I was a single traveler for only one night I chose the one bedroom apartment for the additional space as it was only a few dollars more than a studio room.
The room was very clean and homely rather than sterile as some hotel rooms seem to be. After a long flight the opportunity to relax in a separate lounge was a welcoming surprise.
I have the need to attend another event for a week in October and will be advising other attendees to stay here as well. But only after I have my room reserved in advance so I wont miss out.
the room came with full laundry facilities, a functional kitchenette and a full size fridge. 10 minute walk to the local supermarket and a $20 Uber into Melbourne CBD. On site parking is at an additional cost of $20 per day. Before you complain about that rate consider the base price for the apartment, if the base was higher and included parking would you still complain? As the site also includes permanent residences there are limited spaces available for guests so again book ahead.

We congratulate the staff for making our visit very enjoyable. We visited my daughter who was departing elsewhere and the location of Quest Flemington was great for us. If we return to Melbourne we will certainly inquire bout staying at the same location. The travel into the City of Melbourne on the 75 tram was easy and being a short distance from the race course was great for punters. Being on the western side of the city helped us to roads linking to the southern state.
I would recommend people looking at a close location to the city of Melbourne to consider Quest Apartments.

Dear John, A big thank you for taking time and providing us with your valuable feedback. We are extremely happy that you have had a wonderful stay with us and that you found our small team very helpful. Indeed our location is ideal as it close to the Melbourne CBD, Racecourses and to the airport to name a few. The public transport is right outside the hotel.

The hotel is easily located near Flemington race course with access to restaurants and local shops close by. Tram that runs to the city is handy and also access to the train station is a short walk from the location. Rooms are clean and quiet.

Hi, Thanks for the review! We are happy that you enjoyed your stay with us. Yes we are directly opposite to the Flemington Racecourse which is great over spring racing carnival and over special events. Public transport is close to us which makes it easy to get around. Our house keepers do an amazing job to ensure our rooms are clean and spotless. We hope you took advantage of our infinity pool on level 19 which has great views over the city and flemington racecourse. We look forward to having you stay with us again. The QFC team

We stayed here during the Christmas period. Due to CO-VID I communicated with Staff about accessibility for the hotel amenities including the pool and bbq facilities. In an email, I was told that reception will be closed but we will have access to the pool and bbq area throughout our stay.
Check-in was seamless, we were able to get our room keys on arrival through a deposit box. However, we had hiccups when we tried to go up to the pool area to check out the bbq and were denied access up there. We had bought all our meats for bbq and it looked like we were unable to use the facilities. How disappointing! There was no after hours number left that I could use to enquire about this after being told SPECIFICALLY we had access. I called head office and they told me that they will call me back - they never did. My sister was coming to the hotel from work and needed to get into the hotel. She pressed a button to try and get in and was about to leave when a worker (unofficially there) opened the door for her. She spoke to him about our situation and after telling him about our situation and showing him the email we received about access, he allowed us full access to all the facilities in the hotel. He saved our Christmas! Thank you Peter! I wrote an email to this hotel but still no apology or reply to this day.

We stayed for 6 nights with family at these apartments. Being in a suburban area, it was rather low key and in fact, we had difficulty finding the main entrance due to the lack of signposting. The service was generally good, the lifts were convenient and the rooms were generally spacious and reasonably clean. Similar to a motel, the kitchen was near fully equipped with a microwave and range and there was a dryer and washing machine which was very helpful. The TV offered lots of channels which kept the kids entertained and the wifi was quite fast. The bathroom had the classic shower/bath combination although in trying to keep it minimalist and compact, the design of the bathroom sink meant that one had to be careful when bending your head down to rinse your mouth for fear of banging your head on the bathroom cabinet. Also the second bathroom was very far away from the second bedroom which made night time trips to the bathroom less convenient for the kids. Unfortunately, the bedrooms were not designed to plug in 2 chargers at the same time as only one side of the bed afforded a double wall socket. There were also several redundant giant pillows on the bed and no luggage rack too. The master bedroom provided a safe which was good touch. There was also a work desk complete with a lamp which was very useful. We checked out the outdoors swimming pool on the top level which although inviting, looked like it was poorly maintained with lots of algae happily blooming on the pipes and walls of the pool. We didn't check out the gym or business centre. Overall, it was a good stay with a location close to tramlines and within walking distance of eateries, shopping centres, parks and a swimming pool.

We were unfortunate with the master room onsuite extractor fan running all night and being significantly loud. Also there was a drainage pipe from the above rooms running in the ceiling to the master bed so were we could here intermittent water flushes all night. A terrible night sleep for the parents, but to be fair, our son in the second room off the lounge had fantastic sleep as he was away from the toilets and could not hear the extractors working through the night. I mentioned this to the lady at check out so I hope this can be resolved for future appt 125 guests.

The 2 bedroom apartment was modern and well equipped with kitchen and laundry facilities (dryer included) which were very handy for a family of four with young children. There is a nespresso machine and 4x150ml cartons of milk were provided in the fridge with each service for our family of four. We had a good view of the Flemington grounds from our apartment which had full height windows. The swimming pool was filthy and needed to be cleaned though. The designer carpet is nice but really needs to be deep cleaned as it has stains and brings down the standard of an otherwise really clean and well maintained apartment. The decor was unique with an edgy design aesthetic and the beds were very comfortable resulting in a very comfortable sleep. Close to tram line which will take you to the city in approx 20min. About 10-15min walk to Coles or Newmarket. There is a large tv that can connect to most modern streaming services including YouTube and Stan. Overall very happy with the stay thanks!

Hi, Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. We apologise for the pool. As it is managed by the residential building, there is not much we can do, we could only wait for them to clean it. The pool had an issue on that week that required something to be changed, now it is all good and clear. We will address the carpet issue to the Housekeeping Manager and organise some deep cleaning. Thank you for your feedback. Warm Regards, The QFC Team

We needed accommodation within close proximity to the State Netball & Hockey Centre, the location suited us perfectly. The price was very competitive, room spacious enough, comfortable bed, great city view from the 9th floor & amazing skyline views from the pool area. Parking was extra but very accessible and a supermarket was in walking distance as well as a cafe for breakfast. Would love to stay again!

Overall, a good property for a small family. We upgraded to the suites, hoping to overlook the racecourse but were positioned right above the tram line. We booked this property due to the services apartment and pool, however winds were strong so the pool was closed which was a bummer. The apartments themselves are well furnished and laid out. Just a few things missing and I would have rated 4-4.5. Had to kill 4 large moths and several fruit flies - an area I suggest the property get onto of. The telephone doesn't work in room 205 and even after alerting the staff this wasn't attended to. The stovetop doesn't work in this room either, opted to baking my pancakes instead of frying them... showerhead is perfect. Fix these details above and it would have been just fine. Hope to be able to come for a swim next time if weather permits.

Hello, Thank you for your review. We are disappointed that your experience with us wasn't to your standards. The apartment you stayed in was facing the Racecourse, however, being Melbourne, the tram line does run right through everything! We apologise that you couldn't use the Level 19 Infinity Pool, but we value the safety of all our guests above anything else. The decision to close the level to guests during 100km winds, was the correct one from our point of view. We are pleased you enjoyed the apartment and the décor! Thank you for your maintenance remarks. We are pleased to inform you that the telephone in the apartment has been fixed. We couldn't find any issues with the stove to rectify. We hope you return to stay with us again and are able to have a nice swim without being blown off the roof. The QFC Team

If your definition of walking distance is around 15 to 20 mins, there is a big supermarket at the Showground village for you. You can buy everything for cooking. If you want to go there by tram, take either stop 29 around the roundabout, or stop 30 outside The racecourse. The stop at the Showground supermarket is stop 32.
