Overview
First Impressions
Walking into 302 Wonderful Waldorf Poolgym, you immediately get that “I’m in the heart of everything” feeling that makes a city break worthwhile. This four-star property sits right on Mounts Bay Road in Perth CBD, and honestly, the location alone justifies the stay. The lobby has this comfortable, unpretentious vibe — not trying too hard to impress, but you can tell they’ve put thought into making guests feel welcome from the moment they arrive.
Location That Actually Matters
Here’s what I love about staying here — you’re genuinely in the thick of Perth’s action without the chaos that sometimes comes with central locations. Mounts Bay Road puts you within walking distance of Kings Park (which, if you haven’t been, is absolutely massive and perfect for morning runs), and the Swan River is right there. I mean, couples seem to get it — they consistently rate the location 8.7 out of 10, and after spending time here, I totally understand why. You can easily walk to the business district, but you’re also close enough to Elizabeth Quay that evening strolls become part of your routine.
The Room Experience
The room setup is what you’d expect from a solid four-star — clean, functional, and surprisingly spacious for a CBD location. What caught my attention was how well they’ve managed to soundproof the space, considering you’re on a fairly busy road. The beds are comfortable (always my first test), and there’s enough storage that you don’t feel like you’re living out of a suitcase. The bathrooms are modern without being flashy, and honestly, the water pressure is excellent — something you don’t always get in older city buildings.
Facilities Worth Using
The pool and gym combination (hence the name, I suppose) actually delivers on its promise. The pool area feels like a genuine escape from the city buzz, and I’ve seen plenty of guests making good use of it throughout the day. The gym isn’t huge, but it’s well-equipped enough that you won’t feel like you’re missing your regular workout routine. There’s also parking available, which anyone who’s tried to find a spot in Perth CBD will appreciate — it’s one of those details that seems small until you need it.
Why Guests Love It
What really sets this place apart is how it balances being central without feeling overwhelming. You’re not fighting crowds every time you leave the building, but everything Perth has to offer is genuinely accessible. The staff seem to understand that travelers want local insights — they’re quick with recommendations that go beyond the obvious tourist spots. With that 8.5 location score, it’s clear that guests consistently find themselves in the right spot to explore Perth properly, whether they’re here for business or leisure. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re staying in Perth, not just visiting it.

Guest Reviews
Good
What could be improved: No cooling in the bedroom.
Superb
Apartment to ourselfs everything we needed and enjoyed the pool and gym.
Beautiful location. Fantastic communication with hosts. Very quiet and peaceful.
Well thought out. Plenty of room
What could be improved: Tv remotes wouldn’t change channel.
Front door didn’t auto lock. May need attention
Disappointing
The support staff was very helpful and easy to deal with after experiencing issues
What could be improved: The accomodation had not been cleaned from the previous guest upon arrival
The unit was comfortable enough & location was great.
Location was good, close to Bus Stop and Busport & trains.
Great washing machine & dryer.
What could be improved: Complex was older & needed updating. Bath was very dangerous when showering, needs a bath mat as it was very slippery. Carpet needed replacing.
Pleasant
The property is quiet central a short walk to trains buses and the cbd.
What could be improved: Quiet disappointed stepping out of the lift there was a musty smell as we got closer to the apartment it became apparent it was curry so strong I the corner. Swimming pool wasn’t clean
Great
What could be improved: Tv need update
Okay but wouldn’t stay there again or recommend.
Location was close to Kings Park but a bit of a walk to public transport, cafes and groceries.
What could be improved: Bed wasn’t comfy and pillows needed throwing out! Not enough dishwasher powder to even run the dishwasher once. No cloth to wash up or wipe benches or table. Bought our own. Had a washing machine but no complementary washing powder. Had to buy that too!
Great place to stay in Perth
Location great and easy access
What could be improved: Relatively good value. Wish all accommodation was cheaper in Australia.
Disappointing
The apartment was nice
What could be improved: It was like vacationing at a Correctional facility, the host didn't make request, only demands accompanied by financial penalties.
Like all dishes had to be washed and all garbage removed from the premises before leaving or financial penalties would be applied.
Makes one wonder what cleaning fees were for.
