Hotel berhampiran Trinity Uniting Church, Perth

I stayed a night at the European Hotel in April 2023. Picked it from the many hotels I researched because it looked quaint and unique, and not like a cookie cutter modern hotel, and was so happy that it lived up to my expectations. I arrived early and was greeted pleasantly by the reception staff who arrived at about the same time as me. Was allowed to leave my luggage in a locked luggage room, and to use an upstairs bathroom to have a quick wash up after my flight, before setting out to explore Perth. There is no one manning the reception or entrance after 7pm or so (I think that is the time but I could be mis-remembering), so I was given a key to let myself in should I arrive back at the hotel later than that. That made it feel personal, as though you were being given the house keys! Sadly the famous Miss Maud's Cafe is no longer there, but there was a pleasant little cafe attached to the lobby where I had a hot coffee and sandwich. The hotel's location is very central, I was able to walk to the WA Visitor Center to get more info about what to do in Perth, and after a long day exploring, got one of the CAT buses which dropped me off about 5 to 10 minutes walk away. The room, a single, was small but perfectly adequate, with a clean bathroom and lots of hot water. The only not-so-nice-thing was that there was no view, there was just a small window quite high up which looked at another block. But for somewhere just to clean up and rest, it was more than enough. Would recommend staying here if you are not into those modern, perfect but rather characterless hotels, and would like to be in a very accessible area.

We upgraded to an executive room, which was very comfortable. We could not get near enough to the hotel on arrival to park and check in. There is a small very narrow lane way that runs from Wellington St to Murray St with no indication of which way the traffic flows. We parked up eventually on Murray St in a multi storey and fortunately our one suit case was easily wheeled the 100 metres or so to the hotel. The hotel info was all available on the room tv screen. I checked breakfast times and saw it was served up to 10-30 am on a weekend. Next morning we arrived at breakfast at 9-45 am. The waiter looked somewhat taken aback. There was only enough orange juice for 1 person, the tank on the tea maker was dry, there was no butter or bacon. The water tank was refilled, butter produced. The chef lifted the lid of the scrambled eggs and they looked disgusting. I asked the waiter if we could have a fried egg. He had to go find the chef. He cooked the eggs, burnt on the bottom runny white on the top. My breakfast at a cost of $30 consisted of one slice of toast 3 mushrooms, half a scoop of congealed baked beans and half of a very sad looking tomato, plus the delicious burnt egg, one cup of black tea. I heard the waiter and chef grumbling together about breakfast times and their attitude prevented me from complaining and asking for fresh food. It transpired that breakfast time had been changed to finish at 10am. The receptionist enlightened me as we checked out next day. There was still a sign on reception saying that breakfast on a weekend lasted until 10 -30am. Needless to say we breakfasted elsewhere next day. It's a soul less hotel, with about as much vibe as a grave yard. We used the fantastic bar of the new Novotel directly behind Rydges. I also found we could have stayed there at a cheaper rate! Will not be returning.

Location was easy to find and accessible to mostly places. Appreciate the clean bedding and towel. Room was spacious enough and had sufficient luggage storage spaces. There’s a large & cosy co-study/working/living space with billiard tables and projector screen. Sleeping areas are pretty secured with keycards so one can be less concerned with external entry. There is a kitchenette that allows guests to store their food in big fridges and sufficient amenities like microwaves and toasters. It’s a pity that some guests are not responsible in washing up after use. The hot water dispenser wasn’t working for the few days I was there so many guests heated drinking water with the microwave. Possible improvements: I wish a hostel with such high turnover could consider to provide shared shampoo and soap in the showers, and have a machine that sells washing detergent pods. Definitely would help to reduce loads of single-use disposable waste.

Special occasion for our wedding anniversary and well looked after by the Hilton Parmelia staff, and it’s always nice to see long time staff and the meet new. While diamond HH, we were upgraded to a beautiful Kings parlor room for the weekend, had an amazing breakfast in our room, and we always find the executive lounge enjoyable as a relaxing place to go and the food offered is often varied. We enjoy the Samuels restaurant and bar food menu, but I do miss the Caesar salad from the pre covid days. It used to be the best. We have stayed at other Perth hotels, including the DT but the Parmelia still comes out tops for us. Thank you for making the weekend so special.

Enjoyed the stay overall even though there was a hiccup on the first night due to the significant noise level of the renovation where our room was directly above. My infant was startled by the noise and we were woken up as early as 7AM by it. Staff was great and accommodated our request for a change of room.

Not my first time in a doubletree Hilton but this one was rather disappointing. We arrived at the hotel at around 7pm, check in was a breeze, except that there is no porter to assist. We have many pieces of luggage but thankfully the receptionist. Jessica, helped us with the luggage before my husband was back from parking. Parking is a slight walk away and it is not very convenient. Please give the breakfast a miss. Our room came with breakfast but the breakfast was so bad! Everything was hard and cold, there wasn’t even coffee like cap or flat white available. When we asked the waiter for it, we were not informed, but the coffee charges were billed to our room charge.  Frankly, I like the room layout but the housekeeping has some room of improvement to go. Though we turned on the ‘please clean the room’ button before leaving for the day, the room wasn’t cleaned until we called when we were back. We were told that room is only cleaned upon request! (But we did request for the whole day). The receptionist who answered the call offered to change the towel only but I insisted my room to be cleaned. When the housekeeping team arrived, he only changed the towel (and forgot the main bath towel) and no vacuuming was done at all. Conditioner was off as someone may have added water to the bottle but the housekeeping team did not check and refill properly too. (307) Location is convenient, near to many nice eateries but right opposite some adult shop.

We love staying here , everything is great but we stayed last night , they have a microwave In your room but no. Plates or cutlery and ice ! Hotels stopped doing ice when we were in covid time , can we bring back ice , some people like drinks with ice when they stay in a hotel , miss the ice 😁 Otherwise love this place !

Great place to stay, large apartment lots of room

Ive stayed here many times and never had any problems . Its only now during this stay in isolation that ive reslly appreciated the open and airy design. My front door opens out onto balcony walkway with cityscape and my room has wall to wall windows which face morning sun and look out onto the cbd and i also get a bit fresh air thru the place. Front office always prompt and responsive to any needs or questions i have making this isolation bearable. Thanks to mangement and staff

Loved our one night staycay at ritz carlton. We arrived early and were able to check in early with no fuss. When I booked there were no rooms left with a king bed and river view so had to book 2 doubles but I requested it upon check in and they sorted it for us. The room was amazing, fantastic views, very spacious, clean and modern The pool area is great, we ordered lunch and cocktails that we had poolside in the sun Went back to our room and there was a bottle of bubbly in there with a note to someone else for their anniversary which was a little strange. We were there for my husbands birthday and there was no mention of that even though I made them aware so maybe they got their notes mixed up. We ate in hearth restaurant which was delicious, although service could have been quicker!! The songbird bar was lovely- will definitely return there Breakfast was amazing, so much choice. We couldn’t order items; it was buffet only which was disappointing initially but the quality of the buffet items made up for it. We were able to continue using the facilities after check out. Wish the sauna and hydro therapy pools were not gender segregated
