Murray Street Lodge Hotel Perth

Hotel is located in City Center. Was reasonably priced. Staff was very helpful. Told us about the free bus lines running in the area. Very large bathroom with a shower and tub, Loved the breakfast. Many choices to order from.

If you just need the basics like a clean room, cereal & tinned fruit for breakfast then this hotel is sufficient. If your prefer a splash pool to a swimming pool you’ll be happy too. However, if you think you will find a serviced reception to book into or a bar at the splash pool you will be disappointed. The bathroom too is sufficient if all you want is a curtained shower,toilet and basin. The is a room with a washing machine and dryer which can be used between 09:00 and 12:00 for which you pay $5 at reception and if you get there early enough to use it, you are the only pet getting your washing done that day. There is no laundry service. The free bus service into the city is handy, from around 7 in the morning to around 7 in the evening. After that, you in for a long walk after a night out. The staff are helpful and an asset to the owners. However from late afternoon to late morning there is no one around and when the fire alarm goes off in the morning, the guests need to figure out if they need to evacuate amongst themselves, until the fire service arrives and the guests are reassured. There is nothing stopping someone off the street walking into this “hotel“ and knocking on your door at any time of the day. Fortunately it appears to be a relatively safe area.

Nice enough bedroom and good king size bed, but very small bathroom with the toilet squeezed in between the shower wall and room wall. Mostly unstaffed now other than a few hours in the day it was our third day before we even saw staff. The pool was unclean. Breakfast was nothing like some earlier reviews as the place has kept its bar and restaurant closed after Covid. Just a few cereals and fruit with juice delivered to your room the afternoon before next morning. Quite noisy at times probably due to being unstaffed. We found a student sat on the floor in the foyer for at least two hours using the free WiFi. Good free yellow CAT bus every ten minutes until 7pm right outside the entrance.
