My son and I were in Australia for the Australian Open and the accommodations were exactly what we needed. The food prices were expensive for Americans like us and having the kitchen allowed us to pack our own food and freeze water bottles for the hot days. Plus, we were able to make our own breakfasts and dinners. There is a bakery not far where we bought bread everyday. There are grocery stores within walking distance. We also went to the beach and the Bayside Quest provided beach towels. The tram system is easy to use and a short walk. We initially booked a studio but upgraded to a 1-bedroom with a view of Melbourne. We opened the door in the morning for some fresh air. The front desk was always very helpful no matter the subject. They helped us book a tour to see the penguin parade.

Stayed at the Bayside Quest with a girl friend and my two teenage daughters. The staff were so very helpful, nothing too much trouble, even supergluing a heel back on a shoe. Thanks guys. I will definately be back

We stayed with our teenage resp. adult children for two nights in January in a 2-bedroom apartment and just liked it. Within a few minutes we were in the centre of St. Kilda, at the beach or at the tram station to the city. We liked it that the two bedrooms were separated by the living area. The twin beds were a bit small, though. We asked for a quiet room and got it, but the view was to the inner courtyard/carpark. That was a pity, as the front rooms had a lovely view to the trees of the nice street. All in all a good choice!

I have stayed at Quest Bayside twice now and would recommend these apartments to anyone wanting to access the nightlife in St Kilda. The location is excellent with undercover parking for an extra $10 per day. If you are going to a concert at the Palais, this can't be beaten. A short walk to the venue and to a host of restaurants, cafes and bars, and the beach. But also in a quiet side street. The rooms are a bit dated but thee staff are the best. All in all a great place to stay.
