Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Perth Short Stays, you immediately get that feeling of being in the right place at the right time. The building sits right on Mounts Bay Road — and I mean right in the thick of things — where you can practically feel the pulse of Perth’s CBD around you. It’s one of those four-star properties that doesn’t try too hard to impress but somehow manages to anyway, with clean lines and a welcoming lobby that feels more like a friend’s well-appointed apartment than a typical hotel.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about Perth Short Stays — the location is genuinely exceptional, not just marketing speak. You’re literally steps away from the Swan River, which means those morning walks or evening jogs happen along one of Australia’s most beautiful urban waterways. The Perth CBD spreads out around you, so whether you need to grab coffee, hit the shops on Murray Street, or catch a show at His Majesty’s Theatre, you’re talking about a pleasant stroll rather than expensive taxi rides. I’ve stayed in plenty of places that claim to be central, but this one actually delivers on that promise.

The Accommodation Experience

The rooms at Perth Short Stays feel more like short-term apartments than traditional hotel rooms, which honestly makes all the difference when you’re staying more than a night or two. You get proper kitchen facilities — not just a mini-fridge and kettle — plus enough space to actually unpack and settle in. The furnishings are modern without being cold, and the beds are genuinely comfortable (I’m particular about mattresses, so this matters). What really impressed me was the attention to practical details: good lighting for reading, plenty of power outlets, and windows that actually open for fresh air.

Practical Perks

You know what’s rare in Perth’s city center? Free parking. Perth Short Stays offers private parking on-site, which saves you both money and the headache of circling blocks looking for a spot. It’s one of those amenities you don’t think about until you need it, then you’re incredibly grateful. The property also handles the little things well — reliable Wi-Fi, responsive air conditioning, and housekeeping that doesn’t disrupt your rhythm. These might sound basic, but you’d be surprised how many places get them wrong.

Why Guests Love It

There’s a reason couples rate this location so highly — it strikes that perfect balance between being in the center of everything while still feeling like a peaceful retreat. You can walk to Kings Park for sunset views, stroll down to Elizabeth Quay for dinner, or just enjoy the river views from your room. The staff seem to understand that travelers want independence mixed with support when needed, so they’re helpful without being intrusive. Perth Short Stays works because it feels authentic to Perth itself — relaxed, practical, and genuinely welcoming without any pretense.

Overall the stay was comfortable and our guests get everything they need, and have beautiful view.

The rooms are spacious and being at 7th floor, we had a nice view of swan river.

What could be improved: Not disability-friendly on front access as there is no ramp. One of the guests is in a wheelchair and it is quite inconvenient to get to the lift. We had to go around the carpark to gain entry for wheelchair access.

Comfortable apartment that is very homely. Ideal location if you have car.

Very comfortable apartment with everything a family would need. Location is perfect for access to Kings Park but guest should be mindful there is a significant stair climb to get there.

What could be improved: The location is not very close to restaurants, etc.

The host was very approachable and responded promptly. The apartment was great,, very clean and close to public transport and shopping district. We will definitely stay with Perth Short Stays again.
