Quest Suva – Downtown, modern, and functional.
Although catering mostly for business people on long stays, Quest happily welcomes everyone for any length of time. It is easy to miss, on the fifth floor of a modern building with an arcade with classy shops below. The Studio Executive Apartments are identical inside: with modern furnishings, fully-equipped kitchens, and spacious bathrooms. But the views differ significantly: with a balcony overlooking the street and with distant sea views, or with a tiny frosted window offering no view at all because it faces the carpark. The prime selling point is the city center location, surrounded by places to eat, shop, and drink, and within a stroll of the park, cathedral, bus station, and malls.
Quest Suva – The Basics
- Location: Renwick Road, in the center of Suva, on the main island of Viti Levu. On the 5th floor of the BSP Suva Central building. About 30 minutes by taxi from the airport.
- Guests: Almost exclusively caters to long-term guests, especially those on business.
- Beach: There is no beach anywhere in or around Suva. The nearest is at Pacific Harbour, about 50 km to the west, and not too far for a day trip by bus.
- Views: Apartments with a balcony offer views of the city and distant harbor. Others have tiny windows with no views at all.
- WiFi: Provided free in the lobby, but otherwise there’s a very high negotiable charge depending on the length of stay.
- Parking: Parking available for free outside on the 5th floor.
- How to Book: Booking.com will have the best rates.

Quest Suva – Rooms
- Room Types: Studio Executive Apartment • One Bedroom Apartment • Two Bedroom Executive (1 only)
- Smoking Rooms: Not allowed in the rooms but permitted on the balconies.
- Best Room: The Studio Executives with Ocean View really only offer distant sea glimpses, but are certainly better than those without a balcony or even a functioning window.

The lobby and apartments are on the 5th floor of the building.

The Maya Dhaba Indian restaurant about 400m down Victoria Parade is large and colorful, and the meals are tasty and good-value.
Contain Yourself Café, behind the Post Office in the city center, is ideal for casual meals.
Tiko’s Floating Restaurant is berthed at the Ratu Sukuna Park in the city center.
The southern part of downtown Suva offers some pleasant examples of the old and new.
