Family Friendly Close 2 Airport, Optus, Crown & City

Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Family Friendly Close 2 Airport, Optus, Crown & City, I’ll be honest — the name had me curious about what exactly I was getting into. Located on Solar Way in Perth, this four-star property turned out to be one of those pleasant surprises that makes you wonder why more people don’t know about it. The building itself has a modern, residential feel that immediately puts you at ease, and there’s something refreshing about a place that doesn’t try to be overly fancy but still gets all the details right.

Location That Actually Works

You know what’s brilliant about this spot? It’s genuinely close to everything that matters without being stuck in the middle of tourist chaos. The airport is practically next door — I mean, you can literally be there in minutes, which is a godsend when you’re dealing with early flights or jet lag. But here’s the thing most people don’t realize: you’re also perfectly positioned for Crown Perth and Optus Stadium. I’ve stayed in city center hotels that take longer to reach these venues than this place does. The parking situation is actually stress-free too, which anyone who’s driven around Perth will tell you is worth its weight in gold.

The Room Experience

My room was spacious in that way that makes you immediately relax — not cramped like so many city accommodations. The setup clearly shows they’ve thought about families and couples alike, with enough space to spread out without feeling like you’re living in each other’s pockets. The beds are properly comfortable (not just hotel-marketing comfortable), and honestly, the whole place feels more like a well-appointed apartment than a typical hotel room. Little touches like decent lighting for reading and actual storage space show they understand what travelers actually need.

Why Couples Keep Coming Back

There’s something about this place that couples really connect with — and after staying here, I get it. It’s got that sweet spot of being private and peaceful while still putting you close to Perth’s entertainment district. You can have a quiet morning, then be at Crown for dinner or catch an event at Optus without the whole thing feeling like a logistical nightmare. The staff seems to understand this balance too; they’re helpful without being intrusive, which makes a real difference when you’re trying to enjoy time together.

Why Guests Love It

What strikes me most about this property is how it delivers on its promises without any fuss. The location rating of 9.6 from recent guests isn’t just marketing fluff — it’s because this place actually solves the Perth accommodation puzzle. You get easy airport access, you’re close to major venues, and you’re not paying city center prices for the privilege. It’s the kind of place where everything just works smoothly, from check-in to checkout, which honestly is rarer than it should be. Whether you’re here for business, catching a game, or using Perth as a base for exploring Western Australia, this spot just makes sense.
