We didn't expect glitz and glamour for $150 a night including buffet breakfast in Perth CBD but surprisingly we got far more than we expected. Our standard room in the west tower ( only superior rooms in the east tower ) was excellent - spacious and quite recently refurbished. Pillow menus gave you a wide choice of feather, foam or contour pillows and comfy beds made for a good night's sleep. A fresly cooked and tasty breakfast capped it all off. Highly recomended.

The Mercure is one of the hotels closest to Perth's pedestrians only section of Hay Street. The location was what influenced my choice. The room was spacious at 400 square feet and clean. The bed was very comfortable. There was a small lap pool and gym at the top of the hotel and I really enjoyed the swim during a hot January afternoon.

I stayed at Novotel Langley Perth a few days before and I found the rooms at Novotel and Mercure to be very much the same. Both are 3 to 4 star hotels. Novotel has better bathroom, lobby and restaurant that put it one level up. But Mercure's location is more central.
