Positive Reviews
positive:
Clean, comfortable rooms with a view...
Travellers recommend upgrading to rooms and suites on the higher floors for the exceptionally beautiful view of the park and Swan River from the private balconies. The rooms are generally described as very clean, comfortable, and reasonably spacious.
positive:
Fresh air and exercise...
Healthy travellers appreciate that the hotel offers complimentary bicycle rentals, and highly recommend a tour around the cycling track by the river. Though many enjoy the leisurely 15-minute stroll from the hotel into Perth CBD, it's also possible to get there via the (free!) Red CAT bus; the stop is only five minutes away on foot, and the route will take you to the Hay Street Mall. Guests also find the location convenient for trains and ferries.
positive:
Top marks for the staff...
The front desk staff frequently receive rave reviews for their friendly, knowledgeable, and professional customer service. The concierge, valet, and housekeeping teams also get high marks, with guests often describing them as cheerful, personable, and attentive to the details of their duties.
Negative Reviews
negative:
The most important meal of the day...
Though many guests enjoy the breakfast (and the views from the dining area), others are put off by the steep price of the buffet. Guests have also been disconcerted by long waits in the bar area.
negative:
Don't forget the sunscreen...
Though the lap pool is widely described as beautiful, it is also completely unshaded. The lounge area (and deck) are too hot for some to enjoy on a sunny day, while others find the (unheated) pool too chilly.
negative:
Getting a little old and tired...
Recent travellers often comment that the hotel is betraying its age; the room decor, bathrooms, and windows are due for some upgrades.
