Positive Reviews
positive:
Appealing location
Reviews often highlight how this hotel places you within walking distance of shops, restaurants, bars and entertainment venues such as the Perth Arena. Guests also note the proximity of the train station, Perth Underground, which offers direct services to the likes of Subiaco and Hillarys Boat Harbour.
positive:
Pleasant rooms
Although previous guests regularly comment that the rooms at the ibis Perth are a little on the small side, most found them to offer pleasant surroundings regardless. Cleanliness and comfort levels appear to be perfectly adequate and guests appreciate the freebies such as bottled water.
positive:
Attentive staff
The staff at the hotel are often described as friendly and helpful toward guests. A few guests thought that breakfast was a little short staffed over the weekend but aside from that issue, service appears to run smoothly.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Too pricey for some
Feedback about the cost of staying at this hotel occasionally indicates that guests find the room rates are fairly pricey. Guests also mention that the cost of dining was more than they anticipated. That said, other guests found the rates were reasonable for a hotel so close to the Perth CBD.
negative:
Parking issues
Guests regularly mention that the parking at the hotel is limited and the spaces are tight to manoeuvre in and out of. A better, and same priced alternative, seems to be to take advantage of the hotel's partnership with the nearby Wilsons Parking.
negative:
Wi-Fi not free in all rooms
Not all guests benefit from free Wi-FI. Those that did appear to be members of the Accor loyalty program or to have booked a superior room. Unsurprisingly, those that did pay are generally of the opinion that Wi-Fi should be free.
