“This place is a dump - dont stay here!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Where do I start with this supposed hotel? First arrived after travelling a LONG way to be told we would have to pay $30 to park our car. This is a total rip off as other 5 star hotels in Perth either don't charge or charge below 20 dollars. The lobby outside the hotel room smelt so bad, damp and musty and very dirty. Our room wasnt much better. The bathroom was filthy and the sheets had other peopls pubic hair all over them!! I mean, come on, there is just no excuse for that. The room it's self was tired and dirty and the TV had 3 channels. Our shower did not work and the water was scalding hot that came out the taps. The hotel is a great place to stay if all you want washed is YOUR FEET! Total disgrace, I want my money back!

Room Tip: Dont stay here!

“Not bad for the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

You get what you pay for. I stayed a week and the room was comfortable and clean enough. Sure it could do with an update but it wasn't bad given the price. The tap leaked continuously and there was often the noise of water travelling through the plumbing. Odd that it does not have a restaurant and no breakfast, but there is a good cafe around the corner. Staff not the most freindliest, but did their jobs. Beds were excellent.

Room Tip: Ask for a room facing the river.

“What a shocker!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011

Don't stay here, no matter how cheap it seems. Old, dirty, unsafe wiring, ripped towels, indifferent staff and some weird food convention on level 9 that had a sign in the lift to say "do not interup" (spelling incorrect in a laminated sign - really!).
Stand out staff member was John. The rest couldn't care less.
Worst features: huge hand prints on the windows only evident when steamed up from shower; waterproof mattress protector uncomfortable, very old fittings, sticky surfaces, no comfortable chairs (one had a chair pad tied to the seat that was so thin (why bother), soap dispenser on the wall like a public toilet, mismatched glasses, only mirror was in the bathroom, hairdryer fixed so high on the wall that it was a stretch to use. Lift call buttons broken.....so many other things, i could write a novel.

Room Tip: Do not accept a room at the back of the building without seeing it first.

“good location and price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011

i stayed in hotel for 7 days and it was great because it's location. Quite close to esplanade station and busport, or if you want to get CAT bus by free, just walk about 100m to catch the blue bus. it's so close to swan bell tower or you want to go to kings park and botanical garden, just take bus from st george tce.the environment was cozy. Just short walk to shopping center like hay street mall and murray street mal for shopping and food.if you need to go to perth station, not far, maybe just 1km. The hotel quite old, the room quite small,but never mind because of the price that i got from agoda. The staff is so-so...I didn't take breakfast because i'm moslem n i didn't know whether its ok or no. If your moslem, it's quiet easy to find halal food for kebab or malay food. Dont forget to eat at james street 5/123 Satay club. If you want to buy some souvenir, just go to barrack street after george teraace, near number 4 CAT bus stop, it's cheaper than another, even than fremantle esheed.

Room Tip: get a discount for the room, or you will dissapointed..
