“More like a motel. Have stayed at much better Quest apartments before.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Location is great and central, but the property is very dated, it feels like a motel.
I got a spa room on the 4th floor, which is quite large, but that it where the benefits end. I asked for a quiet room, and it is still noisy from the street and also from creeks coming from god knows where. The TV is an old 40cm thing that has a high pitched squeal when you turn it on. The shower also sings all by itself when you turn that on. The bed was far from comfortable, and add to that the street noise it isn't the greatest place to stay. Now for the number one pet hate, I am here for business, and the broadband is almost completely useless. They don't have WIFI (which is ok), but the wired internet is as slow as the old dial up service. And is still $24 a day. That is completely unacceptable. C'mon Quest, I have stayed at far better properties than this. I paid $249 a night for this rubbish?

Quest on King William, Guest Relations Manager at Quest on King William, responded to this review
12 February 2012
We’d like to thank you for providing us with your feedback, and are always open to hearing our guests’ opinions and experiences.

As we are located within the heart of Adelaide CBD, unfortunately outside noise issues are sometimes out of our control. However our staff will always endeavour to meet requests for quiet rooms when placing bookings. Whilst for operational reasons this cannot always be guaranteed, we are still more than happy to find solutions to any specific issues that may arise during your stay. As an example, the maintenance-related noises experienced from the shower were rectified immediately after your review was read.

In relation to the internet issue, I can assure you that we pride ourselves on meeting the needs of corporate clients, and take any concerns had very seriously. In this specific case, we were experiencing one-off difficulties from our service provider and would have been determined to find an alternative solution if notified about the problem at the time. This internet service has since returned to normal and we apologise for the inconvenience caused, and understand that your expectations were not met.

Furthermore, all of our accommodation is undergoing refurbishment including replacement of the televisions. While these changes have already been completed in many of our apartments, it is a still a work in progress, but once again guests are more than welcome to request a change in specifics should something not be adequate.

“Good hotel in the heart of Adelaide”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

Stayed here for two days recently.

The room was large, well set out and very comfortable.

Staff were courteous, pleasent and were able to help with directions around the city.

The hotel has its own gym which was brilliant - $10 for a visit with lots of modern equipment and staff on hand to help if needed.

The hotel is close to Rundle Mall which has lots of cafe's, restaurants and bars.

Overall this is an excellent hotel and I would stay here again.

“Unprofessional housekeeping staff and very noisy location”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011

Quest on William is in the heart of the Adelaide CBD. This hotel offers clean rooms, with kitchenettes and shared laundry facilities. However, the noise from the street is terrible. I requested a quiet room and was told that rooms on the upper floors are quiet. This turned out to be untrue, and being a very light sleeper I had no sleep the first night and very little the following night. There was also some construction noise up until around 7pm from the floor above us (a tradesperson in the lift informed us that they were working on a restaurant fit-out). In addition, the housekeeping staff were very unprofessional. On the second day of our stay, housekeeping knocked on the door and asked for assistance with the lift. Having misplaced her access key she wanted to use our key to access the lift. There was also no flexibility in relation to when rooms were made up. After being out all the morning, my husband I returned to our room for a short rest before heading out again. Housekeeing knocked on the door wanting to make up our room, so I requested that they return an hour later, but was told that this would not be possible. The following day, and despite a check-out time of 10am, housekeeping knocked on our door at around 9am and asked us when we would be leaving. When we told her that we would be checking out at 10am she voiced her displeasure to a colleague saying that they would have to go to another floor as nobody on our floor was checking out early. Never before have I encountered such unprofessional behaviour. It is also worth noting that there is no on-site parking for guests. Guests are given an access card to a car-park that is a couple of blocks away (at a cost of $12 per day).

Room Tip: Studio rooms all face the street and are therefore noisy. If staying in a 1 or 2-bedroom apartment...

We stayed here for a combination of pleasure & business. The location was central to everything we needed. The room was very clean, the staff were very helpful. Great valued for money, free access to washing facilities was helpful.

“Good position but fairly ordinary”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

Good position right near the central shopping district of Rundle Mall. Other than that the place is faily ordinary and I would much rather stay at the Hilton for only a few extra dollars. There was a kitchenette but very little in the way of supplies ie. milk, tea coffee etc in the room. They even charged you extra over the ticketed prices for newspapers. Sheets were very coarse but the bed was reasonably comfortable. Fair bit of street noise. Don't think I will stay here again. I have reluctantly given it an average rating.
