Pan Pacific Perth
The room was spacious, spotless, and beautifully maintained. Rohan and his team were exceptional — attentive, friendly, and genuinely thoughtful. My husband organised the trip for my birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make it feel extra special.

ibis Perth
Rooms are small but serviceable. Location is great, close to the CBD and plenty of shopping and dining options, and also close to public transportation. Shower plumbing is a bit iffy with alternating hot/cold water depending on whether someone else is flushing. Overall, good value and I would stay ...
