Enjoyed staying at the Quest Apartments in Manly. Fantastic location directly opposite the ferry and extremely close to shopping and wonderful restaurants. The studio apartment was well-equipped and very clean and the reception staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was included in the room rate. We stayed on a Saturday night to do the shark dive at Manly Sea Sanctuary... More

Clean, well (FULLY) equipped apartments located next to the dock for great views and ferries to Sydney. Laundry service Small café next door for breakfast and charge to the room. Very friendly. Not as sure about Manly as a location. Can get rough on weekend nights?

Dear Guest, Thanks so much for your review, I am glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us. Manly can be a lively place at times on weekends filled with lots of people having the time of their lives. Statistically it is safer here than in the city and the Eastern Suburbs (Bondi). I would consider both of those... More

Great place. Good size rooms, close to all forms of transport. Unless this place is booked out the Sebel and Novatel won't see me back in a hurry. The eateries that are close by are awesome. Here on business this time around but will likely bring the whole family should circumstances allow.

Good sized rooms, great balcony with a view of the Manly Wharf. Great position, only a short walk to Manly Beach and within reach of many shops, cafes and restaurants. Great destination for a short break!

Enjoyed our stay. We have stayed at a few other hotels in the area and found this to be the best! I didnt find it easy in Manly to find good accommodation at a good price. Really enjoy Manly as a destination.

What a great find. We were attending a wedding in Manly and I was surprised by the meagre choice of hotels in the area. Luckily, by the time we got around to actually making a booking the 2 big chain hotels on the oceanfront were fully booked and I could only get a room at the Quest. Originally we were... More

Loved our stay in the Quest Manly apartments - clean, spacious and excellent service from reception and housekeeping staff. The location is unbeatable. The only downside, as others have mentioned, is the noise. Manly is of course a busy place but the apartments would strongly benefit from some degree of soundproofing and/or double glazing.

Dear Guest, Thanks for your kind words and I am glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. As you say our location is second to none and occasionally this can mean our studios can be a little "atmospheric" if you are sensitive to noise- mainly on Friday and Saturday nights. Our one bedroom apartments are well insulated from street... More

We stayed on the second floor, and had a view of the bay. Morning swim in the bay was delicious. Location was just brilliant, near restaurants, near the ferry. Staff are excellent. Gym is pretty good but no view. Machines are old but still pretty good. The rooms look pretty than the web pics. Would stay there again.
