Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a unique room layout that some might find charming, but it could be noisy and outdated for others. The service is friendly and helpful, although there were misunderstandings about late check-outs. The location is convenient for city exploration but can be noisy at times.
I had a good experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and refurbished, excellent value for money, and the breakfast was very good. The location in the city center was convenient, though some areas need repair and redecoration.
The hotel is ideally located in downtown beautiful Perth, perfect for riverside walks and close to excellent shops and restaurants. The rooms, though smaller and warmer than expected, are known for their cleanliness. The service is top-notch, with staff being the best I've ever seen. The dining experience, while not great overall, has some delightful options. A renovation might be needed but the facilities are splendid.
Returning to the hotel after a night out, it was a bit cold and the radiator couldn't be adjusted to make it warmer. The staff, however, were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The hotel's decor was charming and it was easy to navigate around Perth, with bus stops and restaurants nearby. The cleanliness could have been better, and unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in the bar. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to everyone.
The hotel is in a convenient location near the shopping complex and the Tay river, perfect for exploring the city with friendly staff. While the rooms had a unique dormitory-style setup and were a bit warm, the hotel exudes a historic charm waiting to be discovered.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean but lacked modern updates, and the location was convenient for exploring the city. The service was hit or miss, with some staff being helpful and welcoming while others seemed disinterested. The dining experience had its ups and downs, but the partially self-service setup was a nice touch.
