A hospital stay — whether planned or sudden — turns your world upside down. Your energy goes to the person you love. The last thing you need is an uncomfortable hotel room, expensive parking, and nowhere to cook a proper meal after a long day in the ward.

That’s exactly why Q Squared Serviced Apartments exists. We’re a small, independently run accommodation provider at 115 Chetwynd Street, North Melbourne — just minutes on foot from the entire Parkville hospital precinct. We’ve been welcoming hospital visitors, patients, carers, and medical staff for years, and we understand what you actually need: space, comfort, convenience, and a team that genuinely cares.

The Parkville Medical Precinct is one of Australia’s most significant hospital clusters. Q Squared’s location on Chetwynd Street puts you within a short, flat walk of all of them — no car needed, no tram required.

Why a serviced apartment beats a hotel during a hospital stay

Hotels are designed for business travellers and tourists. Hospital stays are different. You might be here for a week. A month. You need to cook, do laundry, have room to sleep properly and think clearly. A serviced apartment is simply a better fit — and Q Squared offers all of this at rates that make long stays genuinely affordable.

• 🍳 Fully Equipped Kitchen — Cook your own meals, save on dining costs, and maintain your routine
• 🅿 Free Secure Parking — Included with every stay. Saves you $30–$50/day compared to hospital precinct car parks
• 📶 Free WiFi — Stay connected with family and manage everything remotely
• 🔄 Flexible Cancellations — Hospital stays are unpredictable. We understand that
• 🛏 Real Bedrooms — Proper rest in a proper home, not a cramped hotel room
• 💬 Personal Service — A small team that genuinely knows your name and your situation

Serviced apartments are typically around 30% larger than comparable hotel rooms. With a full kitchen, you can cut your food costs dramatically during a long hospital stay. At Q Squared, free parking alone saves you $30–$50 per day compared to hospital precinct car parks.

Room types to suit every situation

Whether you’re a solo carer, a couple, or a family taking turns to stay nearby, we have an apartment configuration that works.

• One Bedroom Apartment — Queen bed, fully furnished living area, full kitchen. Ideal for individuals or couples needing a comfortable, private base.
• Two Bedroom Apartment — Two separate bedrooms, full kitchen and living area. Perfect for families, or when two family members are taking shifts at the hospital.
• Superior Two Bedroom Apartment — An upgraded two-bedroom option with enhanced finishes — when you need a little extra comfort during a difficult time.
• Twin Share Apartment — Two separate beds, great for friends, colleagues, or when cost-sharing is a priority.
