Good value at the Goodearth hotel, Perth

Advantages: Central location, good area, value for money, clean and comfy.
Disadvantages: Occasional sagging mattresses, plus check your account carefully.

...Recently I spent four nights at the Goodearth hotel Perth Western Australia. Here's how I got on. I booked my accommodation through hotelclub.com and can report that the website was safe and secure when processing my payment of $A428 for the four nights. At $107 per night (approx 45 pounds) it seemed good value to me. Initially, I tried to book this hotel through a Queensland travel agent. They told me there were no rooms available for the period I wanted, and tried to cajole me into going to another inner city Perth hotel. That was when I tried doing the booking myself on the internet, and fortunately, found accommodation at the Goodearth on the nights I wanted. So Ciao readers should be aware that just because a travel agent states there are no rooms, it is worthwhile trying the internet instead ! On arrival at the hotel...

Review of Goodearth Hotel, East Perth

Great location - Travelodge Hotel Perth, W.A.

Advantages: Great location, clean and comfortable
Disadvantages: some dangerous corners in the room and no bedside table or light on my side

...Perth Travelodge, Hay Street LOCATION: This is a 3 star hotel in the centre of Perth with 123 rooms (some of these are inter connecting for families) within walking distance of the Swan River or the Northridge shopping area with loads of restaurants and clubs. It is on Hay Street .The reception area is small with a couple of tables and some comfortable chairs, it certainly was not luxurious but served the purpose, The staff at the desk were extremely friendly and helpful whenever we asked for advise re transport or things to do etc. The restaurant opened out from this area. RESTAURANT: The hotel itself has its own restaurant called ?Armada? with a bar which was partly inside and partly outside with umbrellas. It looked quite nice. Food was on a par with European prices; fish and chips (red snapper) with fresh salad was $19 Aus...

Review of Travelodge Perth Hotel, Hay Street, Perth

A short stay at the Perth Ambassador

Advantages: Great Value, close to the CBD
Disadvantages: Lacking in va va voom

...As regular readers will know I'm lucky enough to live in the beautiful city of Sydney on Australia's Pacific east coast. I settled on Sydney for no other reason that it's a beach city with a fantastic climate and is vibrant and busy. If I'd have wanted a slightly more relaced pace of life then without question I would have plumped for Perth in Western Australia. Like Sydney it has a temperate climate, beautiful beaches on the Indian Ocean and a thriving economy. I'm currently on my third visit to Perth and I'm fortunate in that I'm here on business and the company are picking up the hotel tab (not to mention the bar tab!). I picked my own hotel and the criteria was that it should not be to far from the office and not to far from downtown area or the CBD (central business district). I'd also stayed in a backpackers hostel in East Perth...

Review of Perth Ambassador Hotel, Perth

A city in the sunshine, remote and empty, Perth, W.A.

Advantages: Wonderful climate, no crowds, clean, very pretty
Disadvantages: Not very historically interesting

.... We walked through a corridor of aquarium which I suspect were not for decoration as they had lobsters and other larger more edible seafood in them. We were shown to a table near the river front, not a perfect view but I guess that is what you get for not booking. This was a Chinese seafood restaurant and we had seen it advertised in the tourist guide. The meal was good and well presented and the ambience very pleasant but it was quite pricey. We chose it as it was an easy walk back to our hotel along the river front and through a park. The walk along the river was beautiful, very peaceful with a few dog walkers, joggers and families taking the air. The park always had cockatoos squawking in the trees or pecking in flocks on the grass which we found quite a novelty. Walking around Perth was easy, there was rarely much traffic and there...

Review of Perth (Australia)

Friendly Sullivans

Advantages: Comfortable, small and friendly.
Disadvantages: Not in the city centre if you prefer to be where the action is.

...roads from around the surrounding area. The price for 2009 is about £80-£90 per room in March of next year although there are probably cheaper deals around and there are both Standard and Superior rooms available. As usual in Australian hotels breakfast is not included, but it is not expensive. Apparently there is also an apartment, but I haven't seen this as yet. The decor was a little dated but perfectly acceptable and the room we had was very clean. There was a fridge, tea & coffee facilities and complimentary bottled water every day. We have had no hesitation in choosing Sullivans again for our next visit to Perth it is a lovely change from the large luxury hotels we use on the remainder of our trip....

Review of Sullivans Hotel, Perth

Best Accomodation in Central Perth, WA

Advantages: Centrally located, very clean
Disadvantages: small pool

...January is probably one of the hottest months in Western Australia. This wasn't problem for me though, because my hotel room had full blast icy air conditioning on all day. I stayed at the Duxton Hotel in the centre of Perth in January 2003 for 14 nights. This superb 4 and 1/2 stars hotel has transformed my family visit holiday into a full blown luxury holiday. I stayed at the Penthouse suite on the 11th floor of this block building Hotel with magnificent views on the Swan river. The room was extremely clean with two king size beds, a separate lounge with sofa, desk and table and a separate bathroowm including a huge power shower and a jacuzzi. Services include TV, VHS, DVD, radio, tlephone, modem connection sockets, laptop docking staion, alarm clock, walk in wardrobe, iron and ironing board, safe, air conditioning, mini bar...

Review of Duxton Hotel Perth

Perth has history

Advantages: Nice views
Disadvantages: See op

...I just wanted to write something about Perth as there are only 2 other op's on Perth and they were from visitors so I thought that it would be nice for me to do an op since I live here. I will get the most obvious thing out of the way first The home of the Black Watch is in Perth, which I am sure most of you will have heard about in the news recently. The Black Watch is the oldest highland regiment, begin in existence since around 1725. The Black Watch museum is housed in Balhousie castle, Hay street, Perth. In the museum there are five rooms with Black Watch memorabilia. Now some other information about facilitieS. Admission charges - Free to all (but you can make a donation if you wish). Any large group such as school's should phone to make an appointment this can also include a guided tour. There is a small car park but it...

Dinosaurs and diamonds at Perth's museum

Advantages: Modern and spacious, good on history and fauna
Disadvantages: Some dioramas need a makeover

...If you are at a loose end in Perth Western Australia, then I recommend you take a look at the WA Museum. This is located at the Perth Cultural Centre, in James Street. It is easy to get to, being near the railway station and Northbridge area in the CBD. FREE BUSES It's worth noting that there are free buses that run within the city area in Perth, and they cover a loop which will drop you off at attractions like this. This review covers my impressions of the museum when I visited it in September 2008. It isn't a big museum but that isn't necessarily a shortcoming because some of the displays were rather good in my opinion. WHY GO ? I realise that museums aren't really the first thing you'd think of if you were visiting Perth. Possibly you might be more inclined to hit the magnificent beaches, or bike along the miles...

Review of Western Australian Museum, Perth

Imagine your dream holiday or dream life..it's here in Perth

Advantages: Friendly city with great transport and something for everyone from wildlife to clubbing
Disadvantages: Its so far away..I want to go every weekend.

...for everyone. The raver and the rocker will find a lot to do here in Northbridge. The selection of restaurants is unique as unlike other City's Northbridge was not packed with fast food joints but packed with locally owned cafes, pizzerias, Chinese and seafood restaurants. If your staying in a hostel in Perth, the vast majority will have numerous offers from all the bars and clubs in Northbridge, free entry, bar tabs and free drinks for every night of the week so if you want to Party it can be easily done, I should know as I partied for around 5 or 6 weeks flat out. Sea wildlife. The whale watching time of the year is May to October. There are numerous excursions available for whale watching, the most popular being The Swan River cruise, the details of this this cruise will be found in all hotels and hostels but your best bet would be one...

Review of Perth (Australia)

The Strand Palace Hotel

Advantages: Central location, clean
Disadvantages: Food, rooms

...We stayed at this hotel in London a little over a month ago now for two nights, we chose this hotel mainly because of the central location and because it was only a ten minuite walk from the show we had booked to go too. Check in was very quick - About ten minuites and the staff at the reception seemed very friendly. My first thoughts on the hotel was that it looked really clean and that it was nicely decorated and it looked modern. I was a little dissapointed with our room as it was very small and basic, our room had a double bed, tea and coffee making facilities, a tv with satellite and a small, basic en suite bathroom with a shower. The views from our room very very poor - A block of offices which made our room dark as they were so close. The hotel has two bars and two resturaunts, the bars were again nicely decorated...
