Quest Preston
Kitchen-equipped aparthotel rooms near the zoo
About this hotel
Quest Preston is built for guests who want the self-sufficiency of an apartment without giving up the conveniences of a hotel: fully equipped kitchens, a private bathroom, air-conditioning, and a balcony in every room, plus a dining area for meals that don't require a restaurant reservation. A fitness centre, garden, and outdoor seating area cover downtime, and a business area with laundry service handles the practical side of a longer trip. Barbecue facilities let guests eat outside on a good evening rather than in a hotel dining room every night. The property sits nine kilometres from Essendon Fields Airport and within reach of the Melbourne Museum and Melbourne Zoo, useful for a family trip with kids keen on animals as much as galleries. It's a straightforward, practical base rather than a design showcase, built around getting the essentials right for a longer stay.

Our take
Quest Preston scores 9.1 from 1,205 reviews by giving every unit a full kitchen, a balcony and a dining area, with a garden, barbecue facilities and a fitness centre on site. I would book it for a longer family stay in Melbourne's north rather than a short city break. It has no casino or spa; Crown Melbourne in Southbank is the city's casino and requires a trip into the centre.
- Stock the kitchen with groceries on arrival day, the fully equipped setup makes cooking genuinely practical here.
- Use the outdoor seating and barbecue facilities for at least one evening meal instead of driving into the CBD.
- Confirm laundry service hours if a mid-trip wash is part of the plan for a longer stay.
