This hotel is cheap and pretty close to town.
The reviewer is right that the indian resturant across the road is cracking!
Having said this for the price its fine, I personally hate rooms with no windows and its naughty for them not to state this when booking.
You also have to pay for TV channels (think there are 4 free - the rubbish ones)
Wouldnt recommend it for more than 1 night
Free parking and breakfast though which is a bonus

A very nice motel, but we were put off a little when the shuttle bus driver told us not to go out too late at night as the knives and machete's come out. We laughed, but he wasn't joking. I dont know if it is true, but I have been told that this is the area, Northbridge, that has a reputation for drugs. Having said that, we had absolutely no trouble. As stated in one of the other reviews, the Indian Restaurant across the road is excellent. The rooms were clean, no window, a bit noisy on Saturday night, friendly staff, good meals in the restaurant. There is a free bus that goes around the CBD that can be accessed about 5 mins away. Its called the Blue CAT. The Blue, Red and Yellow CAT buses traverse the city and there is really no need for a car, if you only want to the Perth itself. Motel itself is about 10 mins walk from the CBD. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here for 3 nights in mid August. As far as location, I guess it was good - about a 15 minute walk to the CBD malls, quite a lot of good restaurants surroundign the hotel (if you like Indian, go to the restaurant right opposite the hotel - so good!). However at night it felt a bit dodgy, so if you are a single woman I probably wouldnt choose to stay here. In a couple it is fine though.

The hotel itself was okay... the lobby and restaurant area were pleasant enough. The breakfast (I think it was around $10??) was not very good and we found it more worth it to venture off to a cafe somewhere for breakfast. We had room service one night and the food was pretty average - definitely would not eat the dinner food at the hotel again, personally.

Our room was strange - it was nice enough, but there are no actual windows, just a brick wall about 40cm away from the actual wall of the room, with a glass panel between the two. We were thinking it might be becasue the area is a bit unsavoury and people perhaps used to throw bricks through windows or something??

The cleaning seemed a bit dodgy - we had hairs (eww!!) ALL over our bed covers and on the sheet, and sometimes on the towels, which really grossed me out. The bathroom was always clean though and nothing seemed to be dusty.

For the price though (we paid around AU$80 per night) it wasnt too bad though. Apart from the bed issues, it was clean enough, there was a TV with satellite channels (BBC etc), the bathroom was okay, and the location was pretty central. I probably wouldnt stay there again myself just because I would rather somewhere in the city centre where it's easier to get to the really nice parts of Perth (the pier etc) but if you're on a budget and want to stay in Northbridge, i would recommend it.

Basic hotel sited just off the main drag into Perth.
Food ok, typical pub grub served at the bar or in the small dining area just off the bar. Friendly staff, Jem you're the best!
Nothing in the way of facilities, no pool, no gym, but close to good Asian / Oriental restaurants, and cab prices cheap for jaunts into town where there a loads of good pubs, music and restaurants.
Hotel was clean, and had air conditioned rooms which were of a good size, but no way could it be described as luxurious. Good size bathroom with sink and bath with shower over. And toilet...
Seemed to be used at weekends by hicks from the sticks who were coming into town to party, and by some really bad looking groups of females on hen nights. Weekends were not fun for the business traveller as a result of the noise created at all hours of the night as these 24 hour party people returned to base.
On more than one occasion, ladies of the night were seen to arrive and then leave soon after. Not the thing I'd want my better half or kid have to witness.
In summary: cheap, cheerful, friendly staff. Defo a "get what you pay for" hotel, but as long as you are aware of the downsides, not at all bad and I'd stay again if ever sent back to the colonies.
